Happy 234th Birthday Marine Corps!
With Guy retiring in 4 years we decided to take the entire family to the Marine Corps Ball this year. It was out at Atlantic Beach at the Sheraton Resort. The kids had so much fun and were SOOO good! They had been looking forward to it for the past 5 months. Although the ceremony was about 1 1/2 hours this time the kids sat there and watched and were quiet and enthralled with what was going on. We had professional family pictures done there but havent gotten them back yet... fingers crossed there good! Dinner was great, music & dancing was fun, and all the kids were asleep in the truck on the way home withing 5 min. :)  Nathaniel (of course) was the "belle" of t

Happy 13th Anniversay

Halloween Party
Nathaniel was invited to a 6 & 7 year old Halloween Party at our neighboors. He and Guy went and had alot of fun and played a bunch of games.

Carving Pumpkins!
SO I was totally a last minute lucy this year and waited till the day before Halloween to find some pumpkins. All the big stores were out and luckily I found 3 (the last 3) at a local tiny grocery store. We enjoyed carving them on Halloween day and although Nathaniel was running a fever he still joined in.

Happy Halloween!
This was our first year celebrating Halloween in NC. Although the weather was fantastic and there werent nearly as many kids as on base we still really missed our friends :(.Nathaniel dressed as a storm trooper again, Gabby was a skeleton cheerleader, Victoria was a punk cheerleader, and Isabel wore a Jason mask and handed out the candy.
