Last day

Our last night in Georgia Little Eddie decided to lose his first tooth!!! Well, maybe I convinced him a little that he should do it and make it easy on the Tooth Fairy, but he let Mommy pull it out!! Eddie's last day at school :( His classmates were so sad to see him go, one even cried! It was so sad, that was an awesome school.

Our last weeks in Georgia

Our last few weeks in Georgia were very busy! We got to finish up the season of t-ball for little Eddie and it was so fun to watch. Nicolas looks thrilled, right? Eddie is just so darned smart, we can hardly keep up with him! He was playing hangman with Daddy and this was his word.

On girls day out the boys built a popsicle house

Bama spends so much time playing with the boys in their room! Daddy wanted to join in too, but I guess he was too tired.

The last 2 weeks in GA I got to volunteer several times in Eddie's class! I just loved it and am so grateful I was able to do that. Here is Eddie and classmate doing a math project sorting with candy corn.

I even got to help out on a field trip!!! We went to see a play and it was lots of fun.


Eddie and some of his classmates waiting for the play to start

When the kids get to bed and there is not too much to do, Bama and I get to play Scrabble!

The Friday before Halloween, little Eddie was able to wear his costume to school! He was SO excited!!

And so was Nicolas


Since Eddie was in full day kindergarten, Bama and I took a "girls day" to have a yummy lunch and planned it praying that Nicolas would fall asleep in the car on the way there and then we could have a peaceful lunch. It worked! He slept the whole time in his stroller.

And the kid that won't eat so many kids staples (or much of anything really) he eats salmon dip!!!! It was just too crazy, I had to get pictures.



We took advantage of a local park one evening, enjoying our last bit of warmth and sunshine.



Bama and her little boys

Nicolas was carrying around this huge leaf but he wouldn't look at me

Just hanging around

For Halloween I gave the boys a couple options for their costumes, but they were both adament about being Buzz!

It was so much fun to trick-or-treat!! The weather was AMAZING and there were so many kids and families out.
And of course they made quite the haul, we are still eating it....

Graduation

Friday we were all so very lucky to get to watch Eddie graduate from the Warrant Officers Basic Course! There was a little bit of a wait but everyone was all smiles
Even Nicolas! He kept asking (rather loud) "Are we ready?"
Mommy and Nicolas waiting and so proud
Eddie getting his certificate!
7 out of 20 classmates that got the German Award. Eddie was only 1 of 3 that acheived the GOLD badge!!

"The guys"
Eddie and his buddy Kevin- they were also in the Warrant Officer class last summer together.
Not a great picture, but we are proud!
AFTER the ceremony Nicolas promptly fell asleep in the stroller so we couldn't do a family picture until after lunch. Which he also slept through. For 2 hours. Woo hoo!!

Brotherly love

I am feeling so grateful for my 2 little boys! They are old enough now to play together all day long, mostly getting along. Eddie loves to help Nicolas do things lately...
Nicolas is playing the Leapster and Eddie is showing him how to draw the letters. :)
I love it when they are sweet together.

4 Day weekend!

Well, for the first 4 day weekend this year we did absolutely nothing of importance. Although, Little Eddie did get to talk to his friend Eddie from PA and they were hilarious!! They talked nonstop for about 20 minutes and it was so cute to see him so excited. Little Eddie also had a t-ball game in which Nicolas was actually really good!! He sat in the stroller the entire game and played nice and quiet.
The Eddie's also did a little fishing on base. No nibbles, but had a nice time.
Little Eddie reading his library book to Nicolas. It was so darn cute, Nicolas just layed like that the whole time Eddie was reading. :)
It was a chapter book, so about 10 minutes!

At the farm

This weekend we found a farm just a couple miles down the road and they had all sorts of fun activities! They had a kids hay maze and the kids had fun running around in it

There was also a huge slide (wish I had a pic of the whole thing) and Eddie eased his way down
The girl working the slide said since Nicolas was 2, he had to go down the other side. It was higher, more tilted towards the ground, but I figured it would be ok since they said he had to go down this one. Well I was WRONG!!! He came FLYING down the slide and right after I took this he bit it! Face in the sand and everything. I was laughing so hard, and luckily he thought it was great too, but the next 2 times I caught him at the bottom.
On the great big bouncy having the time of their lives.
In the corn maze! Eddie was our leader and we made it out without having to call for help.
On the cool horse swings made out of tires
Nicolas was loving this truck and the sand, and I literally had to drag him away kicking and screaming
The Eddie's on...oh I don't know what it is
Pumping the water to get the little duckies to the other side

Eddie is doing great!
