My new haircut

Hi all. I just realized I forgot to post a picture of my new hair cut! So here it is!

Madison's hair and award

Earlier this year, Madison had some of her artwork selected to be displayed at Burlington County College. We went there and she received an award for having her art selected. The most recent thing with Madison is her new haircut. She had at least 10 inches cut off. She'd been bugging me for awhile now to get her hair cut so about 2 weeks ago, I took her in to the barber shop and got it all cut off of her. It's a little shorter than she wanted, but it's hair- it'll grow out again.

Danity Kane concert

We bought season passes to Six Flags again this year. We go so much, we really get our money's worth out of them. So here we are at the first concert of the year- Danity Kane and Cherish. Danity Kane has a hit song "Damaged" and Cherish has a song "Killa" out. I can't remember the boy band's name. It was called Odyssey, but not spelled like that. None of these groups played any instruments. Just sang and danced around. It was still a fun concert. We're looking forward to more concerts this year.

Saturday Night Live trip

We got to go to NYC without the kids to see a showing of Saturday Night Live. The guest host was Ashton Kutcher and musical guest was Gnarls Barkley. It was awesome! Then we walked around a little bit outside Rockefeller Center and checked out the people ice skating. There are so many people out and about in NYC at all hours. These pictures were taken at 10:30 at night and there were a ton of people ice skating. Never mind the tons of people walking around the streets.

Madison class trip

I've gone on a few trips this year with Madison's classroom. On this trip, we sailed on the A.J. Meerwald- New Jersey's official schooner ship. It was a very informative trip. The kids all got to work together to put up the sails. Very neat.

NYC trip

Here's a couple pics from our trip to NYC when Mom was up for her visit. These pictures were taken in front of the NYC Public Library. We saw lots of sights that day. We walked and walked for hours. We jokingly referred to it as the "New York City Marathon"!

Easter visit

Jay was TDY during the Easter holiday so my mom came up for a visit. Here are the kids with mom on Easter. I took Mom to the Atlantic Ocean. It was cold, but I made sure she touched the water. It was the first time Mom had ever seen the ocean.

Springtime in bloom

Here's a couple of pictures I took around here. The bleeding hearts are in my backyard. So pretty! The trees in bloom are all along the road as you enter base housing. The trees were only in bloom for a week or so, but it is beautiful while it lasts. Now the trees are all green.

Playing at the park

Here's a couple of pics of the kids playing at the park on base. It was during their spring break and was still kind of chilly here then.

Budweiser horses

We had some excitement at McGuire AFB a couple of months ago.
The Budweiser Clydesdale horses came to the base.
It was neat to see those huge horses.

Harlem Globetrotters

A few months ago, when Jay was TDY, I took the kids
to see the Harlem Globetrotters. We had a lot of fun.

Ryan wears glasses now

Here's a picture I took a while ago of Ryan wearing his new glasses. He has my eyes- near sighted with astigmatism. Poor kid! At least he looks cute in his glasses!
