FREEDOM WALK

Today at Sfrona's school she had a freedom walk, they walked in a parade fashion down the street. She was so excited that daddy got to be there. She of course had no clue what was going on but she had a good time anyway. It was quite a long walk for the kiddos and by the time they were halfway thru alot of them were crying and Sfrona kept trying to get daddy to carry her! LOL She kept saying I'm tired mama! It was special that Darran got to be there and walk with her.

MY NEW GLASSES

Well Sfrona has got her glasses! I can't believe it. She looks so grown up in them! She says "I need to take them off now"! LOL Little does she know it is only starting!

Darran is FINALLY home for a little while, he hasn't gone back to work yet but starts that on Tues. Sfrona was sooo excited to see him and show him her new school, she could hardly go to sleep Sun night! After school we went to get her glasses and when we came home I asked Darran if he wanted to move the truck so I could take the car in the morning since he has to work, and he wants his truck back, well Sfrona took that as him leaving again and started crying saying Daddy please stay home, of course it liked to broke his heart!! We explained to her he would be home for a while and she was fine with that and her and daddy danced all evening! Needless to say she went to bed faster tonight then Sun.

OFF TO SCHOOL!

What a week we have had!! Sfrona started Pre-k and she absolutely LOVES it! I am so glad that she enjoys it, she has not quite got the concept of what Sat and Sun are she thinks she should go to school all the time! As most know Darran is in school and Sfrona talked to him on thurs and she asked him if he had a playground at his school! LOL He said no but he was going to ask why they didn't have one! He cracked up laughing and hasn't stopped since! He has passed all the classroom stuff now he has to go to the field for a couple days and then he's home! YEAH we can't wait!

I took Sfrona to the eye doctor and we have to have glasses. She has an astigmatism in both eyes:(! We have been kinda upset about that but that is how life goes, I put Reagan's glasses on her to just kinda she what she looks like and Sfrona says I look just like sissy!! She is excited about it, I dread the fingerprints that are going to come with this!LOL It is bad enough with Reagan I can just imagine with Sfrona!

Then on Fri she woke up with a runny nose and congested! Wow I didn't think so much could happen in a week. Turns out she has a double ear infection and a cold, she wasn't running a fever but I decided to call the DR just because I knew this wasn't going to go away on it's own, and sure enough we needed antibotics! I asked her if she wanted to stay home and she said I have to go to school mama! So she went I figured if she gets worse they will call but they didn't so I picked her up a little early to go to the dr and she wanted to go back to school after. LOL I soooo hope she continues to enjoy school.

How we LOVE the ZOO!!

We had such a great time on Friday, we met Darla and Brylie and Lawson in Waco at the zoo, and we had a great time! It was the perfect day to go it wasn't to hot and all the kids did great! Our next adventure is going to be for the mommies though, we want to go to Hillsboro and go shopping! We'll bring the daddy's so the can watch the kiddies! Anyhow it was alot of fun! Hope to do it soon again!

The next little thing is Sfrona with a grass skirt and coconuts on. We got this for Reagan when she came to Hawaii, and I kept it for no reason! Sfrona found it and now she dances like LELO in the movie! It is hilarious!

MEMORIES

I was going through some of our older pictures and found some of my dear friends and family! WOW how much has changed!! I can't believe our hair use to look like that and how my parents look is what I am at now! They are my age in these pictures! It is so hard to believe.

These are 2 of my dearest friends from High School, Carolyn and Sandra. We were inseperatable in school and even out of school it was worse, we did everything together! We are still very close, only by phone and email, Carolyn is in Florida and Sandra is in San Antonio last I heard, it's been awhile since we have talked. But the memories we shared and will continue to share are priceless! I miss those carefree days when all we had to worry about was getting money for gas to go crusing! LOL It's funny there is a song by Pink and she talks about "if someone would have said 3 years from now, you'd be long gone I would punch them in the mouth" that's how we thought and luckily we are able to stay in touch and build more memories!

Summer Fun!

Boy has it been an eventful couple of weeks! My Aunt had her grandkids for a week and the cousins went wild!! It was so much fun! We went swimming at BLORA which is a place on post that is part of Belton Lake, (we went there to see the Christmas lights and it took us 4 hours to get through) but I didn't know that it's all free for us in the military. They have paddle boats and a water slide and an area sectioned off for swimming. I was impressed. They had a car wash for little kids who were not tall enough for the slide, it was neat. But onto the water slide, Devon and Breeann went about 10 times and then finally Sfrona wanted to go. Well I was hoping she wasn't tall enough but who am I kidding! LOL She was determined to do it, so we CLIMB a million steps to get there and she is so happy and I find out I can't go down the slide with her, so I'm panicking! She still wants to go, so the lifeguard blew his whistle to let the other lifeguard know a small child is coming down. Well Sfrona gets halfway down and he tells me to go ahead and go, I said not until I see my baby safely on the side of the pool, and of course everyone is laughing! Finally I see her and I go down, when I get out of the pool she says I want to go again mama! OH MY GOSH! We headed for the million staircase and up we went. This time she knows what is going to happen and she starts to say no mama and the line is so long, so I tell her to get up and we'll go back down the stairs and swim, then she started yelling louder NO Mama I want to slide, she really couldn't make up her mind, she ended up going down and when I got to the bottom I was praying please let her say she was done, because I did not want to go up those stairs again! She was done and we went back swimming, the next day my legs hurt so bad! LOL

Then we went to a carnival a few days later and we had a fairly good time, we were not there 10 mins and my Aunt steps off the curb and breaks a bone in her ankle! She had just gotten a new job and knew they were going to fire her, but they didn't, they let her work and we are so thankful for that! Here are some pics of both events!

July 4th

I hope everyone had a great July 4th! We sure did our family came up from Houston and we had a wonderful time swimming and visiting. We didn't set off fireworks this year at home because it is so dry and after New Year's Eve when the field caught on fire, we decided it was best just to go into town to watch them! Sfrona sat in everyone's lap and held her hand over her ears the whole time. I swear that child has over sensitive hearing! We had a good time.

Darran is doing good, we are about halfway through school and counting each day till he comes home. Reagan is good also, her teeth are healing fine and then it's on to braces.

The last pic of Sfrona is her in a Hannah Montana wig. We had a b-day party for Breann and she got a wig and Sfrona had it on! Darran said we should dye her hair blonde because it really brings out her blue eyes in the photo. I thought it was so funny to see her with it on! LOL
