Silliness and cuteness!

I really wanted to share this...I was talking on the phone with my best friend, I walked into the living room and saw this...



Daisey didn't seem the least bit phased by being pushed around in the stroller, what a trooper of a dog!

First Day of 2009!

Yesterday we slept in. When I say we slept in, we didn't wake up until 11:30am! We were TIRED! The girls and I had pancakes, sausage links and bacon for brunch. We took down ALL the Christmas decorations in the house and all the Christmas lights outside as well as the Christmas tree. I was ready to take it all down. I felt like the decorations were taking over the house. I finally have my house back! We stayed in our pj's all day! The girls and I were able to get on the web cam with my mom. We also watched the New Years day parade on TV. After dinner we pulled out the Monopoly game and played Monopoly for a couple hours and decided Joslyn had won. She had the most property and more money than Allison and I. I can't belive Christmas vacation is only 2 days away from being over. It really did fly by! I'm going to miss the girls when they go back to school. Well tomorrow is laundry day and depending on the weather we may or may not go bowling or we may wait until Sunday afternoon to go bowling.



Our house without the Christmas tree up...so much more room!
A little snow falling outside, it will probably melt by tomorrow morning or afternoon

Happy New Year!

The girls and I brought in the New Year at a neighbor's house.

FROM OUR HOUSE TO YOURS, WE WISH YOU MANY BLESSINGS AND A STRONGER RELATIONSHIP WITH OUR SAVIOR IN 2009!

Thank you's

Today we went to the store to buy "Thank You" cards. Joslyn and Allison went straight to work writing their Thank you notes to family and friends back home for the Christmas presents they were given.


The girls put some of their Christmas money together and bought a really good movie, "The Last Mimzy" I really liked the movie, I had never seen it before. Joslyn and Allison saw it while we were in San Antonio this past summer with their dad. They really liked it and wanted to buy it.

New Book

My mother-in-law sent me a book for Christmas. Its titled The Shack Let you know what I think when I'm done reading it!

Video Teleconference with Philip!

Our first teleconference with Philip was scheduled on Christmas Eve, but there was a bad connection in Iraq so it was canceled. We were then told to show up yesterday at the headquarters. The girls and I went and found out the teleconference was canceled again. I recieved a phone call and email last night and today we were going to try again for the video teleconference. The girls and I made the trip back to headquarters again today and I was told I cannot talk to my husband about anything dealing with the military. So after waiting for about 20 minutes and visiting with other wives waiting to talk to their husbands it was finally our turn! We walked into a huge conference room with Philip on a huge projector! We were able to talk and see Philip with a very small delay. The girls were so impressed! Philip, the girls and I had never done anything like this before so we were all pretty amazed. It was a fun, great, yet a fast 5 minutes!
