Walking in Mommy's Shoes

If it were only that easy.....she loves to try our shoes on these days, she managed to get my shoes on by herself and even take a few steps! The half-naked part was what was so funny!

Tree Time

Mike caught some cute photos of Abby playing on her own outside yesterday. She dragged her little squeaky dog out across the yard to the tree to pick "imaginary" flowers!

"Awwww Dad!!! You caught me!!!!"

Final Visit.....in California!!!!

Great Grandma & Grandpa Reiss came up to visit one last time at our California home....future visits in Virginia!!

Even the squeaky bird got in on this photo!!

Copying Daddy

Here is Mike changing the light......Abby snuck up behind him and climbed up the ladder while he was on it, "cheesing" between his legs in excitement.

This is the look of a toddler doing something unapproved.....but still being cute enough to get a laugh out of us.

So we've started our pre-move cleaning/organizing, and Abby's curiosity is in 4th gear! She's never seen us use this step ladder before, and Mike had it out today to clean the light on the ceiling....she dared the climb all by herself; before we scolded her and made her climb back down.

Tupperware fun

Security has been low lately on our cupboards, mostly due to my laziness!! So Abby has definitely taken advantage and ravaged through my tupperware cupboard numerous times! Here I caught her actually crawling into the shelf to reach something in the back. Quite determined.

VAW-113 Dining Out.....Memories

We had our VAW 113 Dining Out event this past Friday night and had a great time as usual!! This was our 2nd dining out attendance, and each one is equally fun and memorable....more so this time around since it was our last party with all of our California Navy friends, who I know we will see in the future, but its sad to leave good friends & company nonetheless.

You will ALL be missed!!

The "violators" drinking from the grog toilet....in violation for intentionally wearing the wrong uniform decor, shoes, glasses, etc....

Eleanor & Janel

Pattie (our skipper's wife) and I

Josh and Mike....enjoying themselves or entertaining themselves....just drunk!

The ladies turn to drink from the grog....there was a non-alcoholic one too!!

My turn!!

Mr.Ridiculous....with his giant glasses and corn-cob pipe....and cowboy boots that you can't see under the table

Janel, Jessica and I

All the current VAW-113 pregnant ladies....Jessica, Janel, Danielle, Me, Eleanor & Jennifer!I guess this is what happens when your husband is out to sea for 6 months and comes home to "relax"! It was very contagious apparently. We are all due in numerical order from August to January!

Beach Bums!!!

Janel & I took the kids to the beach last week....they had a blast playing in the sand while we lounged on our towels! Some version of independence!

Fun at lunch with friends

I attended my last girls lunch out this past week with my Navy wife friends....so the kids got to run around a little after we were done eating. Abby loved exploring the tree with the other kids!
