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!

Too funny!

Here's another video of Ryan I found. He was too funny! When he was still wearing diapers, he liked to make his diaper shake back and forth. We'd catch him doing it all the time.

old video of Ryan

Here's just a random video I came across a few minutes ago. It's of Ryan when he was 2-ish years old. Maybe 3. Just wanted to share since no one, but us have seen this video before.

lunar eclipse and science museum

Here's my photo of the lunar eclipse. It's only about halfway done, but I knew if I didn't get a picture then, I'd forget and miss the whole thing.
We went to Philly the other day to the Academy of Natural Sciences. It's a really neat place. They have a butterfly room you can go in and there's all these big beautiful butterflies flying around. There was a room with a huge stuffed polar bear. I was trying to get the kids to act like they were scared in front of it. Ryan just looks bored.
Last picture is of the kids at a birthday party. The place the party was held had a huge room that was like one big ball pit. Balls were all over the floor, flying across the room and falling from the ceiling! The kids had a lot of fun in there.

Madison Christmas concert

Before I forget! Here is a video from Madison's Christmas concert this year. She is in the choir.

more sledding fun

Here are some videos of the kids going down a hill by themselves. The way Ryan runs up the hill cracks me up. He's too funny. Madison is the only one who went sledding down the hill this way. It looked kind of painful to me!

sledding around base

These are some videos of us sledding around the base where we could find a nice hill to go down. Here is a video of Madison and Ryan sledding down a hill for the first time. Jay even went down the hill. His giggle when he reaches the bottom cracks me up every time!

Sledding at home- Madison's turn

Here's a video of Madison getting pulled around by Jay.

sledding!

In the part of Arkansas we're from, we don't get much snow. Mainly just ice storms. So we were tickled to be able to play in the snow. Here we are playing in our front yard. Jay made a little ramp for the kids. Jay was wore out after playing with the kids!

Snow!

I woke up Friday to all this snow. The kids didn't have school that day and Jay was off work so we had a family play day.

Adventure Aquarium

We went to Adventure Aquarium in Camden, NJ the other day. It was neat. They had an area where you could touch all these different animals. Madison touched a stingray, shark, jellyfish, shrimp, and a lobster. I think that's all. I touched the jellyfish. It was gross! The aquarium has a big tunnel that goes through their shark tank where you can walk and you're surrounded by sharks. It's cool.

Christmas tree 2007

Here's what our Christmas tree looked like this year.

Christmas

It's been awhile since I've updated so I wanted to start out with Christmas pictures. We went to Medford, NJ where they were having a Dickens Christmas Festival. It was so cold that night. Santa arrived in a horse drawn carriage. They were giving out free carriage rides. We stayed long enough for that, then we went home. It was bone chilling cold that night!

Dance Dance Revolution

Here I am dancing to Curus by D-Crew on Dance Dance Revolution Supernova on Difficult setting. Sorry it's dark!
