We took a month long visit back home to SC back in June-July. It was nice to see the family and friends we were able to meet up with. We enjoyed our time home. We had many get togethers at my dad's house, went to the mountains and spent a week and saw family there, and took a trip to Chapin to meet up with more family.

New Year, Lots of Changes :)

It's been a really long time since I have posted. Let me give you guys a little update on all of us.
~Rob is doing good. Ready to come home. Still working sick call so he's a little bored. We talk to him every day. He is hopefully coming home for R&R sometime in March. We all can't wait. Counting down the days already. He really appreciates the care packages from everyone. Keep them coming cause they all look forward to mail over there. He doesn't have much to do other than work so he's been going to the gym alot.
~The kids are all doing good. Alex has discovered video games, lol. He got an XBox 360 for Christmas. If it wasn't for me he would play 24/7. I had to give him a time limit for it. Hailee is all into the makeup. Had to take it away from her the other day cause she had way too much on. They don't go back to school until the 16th of January so they spend thier days playing with the neighborhood kids. It's been raining alot so I have had a house full of kids for the past few days. Sydnee is walking everywhere. I'm loving it. She saw Hailee running the other day so she tried it. Her feet were a little too fast for the rest of her so she had a little wipe out. But she got right back up and tried again. It was too cute.
~I have been busy with the kids. Ready for them to go back to school. I have family coming in the beginning of February so I have been trying to get things ready for that. Alex's birthday is the 9th of February so I'm planning for that also. Anything to keep me busy to pass the time. Well I hope everyone is well. I have some pics I will post first chance I get. And for all those that asked for Rob's address, I will get that to you soon.

Countdown to Christmas

Can't Wait?
How long 'til Christmas?
26 Days
6 Hours
10 Minutes
...But who's counting?

Haven't posted in a while. We had a good Thanksgiving. LOTS of food, too much food. We did a huge thing with most of the neighbors around here and it went pretty well. Rob is doing good. Still working 24/7. We are able to talk and email eachother daily. He has a webcam hooked up so we have been able to see eachother. We are trying to schedule a time when he can get on there with the kids. The kids are being good in hopes that Santa brings them something special. I'm waiting to here when he will be coming to Hawaii so I can get some pics of Santa and the kids. I was trying to come home for Christmas but it isn't looking too good. Lot of things going on here, so I think it will just be me and the kids on the webcam with Rob. I plan on taking the kids down to the beach so we can do some Christmas pics to send back home. I'll post as soon as I get that, lol. Hope everyone is well and we send our love.

8 more days til Thanksgiving!

It's been a while since I have posted. Nothing new really going on. Trying to keep myself busy with Rob being gone. The kids are doing good in school. Sydnee still isn't walking. I talk to Rob everyday and he is doing good. That's really about it. I took the kids to the beach last week. Have a few pics to post just have to get them from my friend. I'll try to get them within the next day or two. Well, that's all for now.
