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!

Remembering Grandma Fran

On a sad note, my Grandma Fran (Abby's great-grandmother....my dad's mom) passed away week before last, and this past Friday we celebrated her life and got to reflect on our memories of her. So we had 2 full days visiting with my family, and Abby got to see her cousin Sheila, Aunt Amy, Aunt Sarah, all her Great-Grandparents and Grandma & Grandpa, and many others too!! Just too cute! Those eyes always make me smile!

My grandma Fran painted these animals years ago, and here Abby is hugging and kissing on them in her living room. Abby gets to take them with her to our new house too, so she'll always remember where they came from (once I tell her in 10 years of course!!).

GRASS!!!! Okay, so my child wears shoes outdoors 99.9% of the time, so she doesn't get very many opportunities to walk barefoot! She did this day though! And it made me laugh to see the curious look on her face as she took each cautious step in the grass.

And don't mind the stains on her cute dress, she ravaged through a plate of mexican food just before we took the photos.....I swear she was clean before!And here is her first skinned knee "boo boo". Guess thats bound to happen when you start wearing dresses and learn to run all at the same time!

Time with Roxy

One of Abby's new favorite things to do is snuggle on the floor and pull her blanket over her and pretend like she is sleeping. Roxy likes to join in and snuggle too! Abby always loves her company!!

Say, "CHEESE"!

Say "CHEESE"!!!!
She now "Cheese's" at all the photos; but usually she gets too close to the camera and ruins the picture.

She has finally gotten the hang of laying in our bed leisurely at times.....it has been such a struggle to get her to lay there for 10-20 minutes while I get done, but last week she finally figured out if she has her pacifier, her "Eeyore" lovey and pulls the covers up to her chin, life is good! Here she is relaxing with Mike one morning.
