Allie's first day of pre-k

Here is the cutest pic of daddy putting allie on the bus, she said she likes it alot. The first day she took a nap on the bus ride home.

Ericka Graduates Basic Training

Okay so i still cannot get the hang of these darm pictures. They are not in order so bear with me



This is after the ceremony too cute.

bad mom this may or may not be her group they all looked alike.

here she is looking all prim and proper. this is the first time we were so close just waiting for it to be over so i could give her a hug, and the tears were flowing.

see her? she is right behind the guy with his back turned to us, this is what is called the airman's run all the groups ran it was cool.

here is the gate to lackland afb, actually we took it the last time we left before going to the airport.

Well we had a very nice weekend, it rained everyday we were there, mind you they have been in a drought for like two months. At home it was beautiful and in the 80's everyday. just my luck. Ericka looks awesome she really shaped up in her time there. She has matured alot too, i really like the yes mam's never heard that before. We are both very proud of her. Wish calvin could have gone, but who do find to watch three babies who do not sleep through the night? For six nights? any takers? Calvin said it was hard and he was tired and that i shouldn't leave like that again. I won't be going anywhere anytime soon. I missed them all alot. Allie only cried two nights for daddy and we even got calvin to skype with us. San Antonio is a very nice town and i would definately go back for another visit. the riverwalk was beautiful.

WOW Three Months Already

Well we have had another full month and it is sooo hard to beleive they are already three months old. Where does the time go? They are now sleeping around five hours so if we feed them around 11 pm they won't wake up until 4 or 4:30 so that is not sooo bad. It can only get better right?!?!?!? The babies are all smiling and staying awake more during the day. They love to be under the play mats as you will see from the video clip at the bottom. Sure wish i could get the hang of uploading the pics so they wouldn't be backwards. One week from today me and allie leave to go to Texas with Annie and we are soooo excited to see Ericka and from her call she is a little excited too. It will be hard to leave calvin and the babies, since we have been married we have not been apart that long. It is gonna kill him to have allie gone that long. maybe me too. lol He will be the father of the year and stay home with the babies he is a brave man cause i know i would not want him to leave me that long with them, but this week he will get a break, he is going up to washington island to work for three days. Maybe he can catch up on some much needed rest. He is the best. I don't do well with no sleep. When we go to Texas I will enjoy my sleep but the first two nights till i see ericka it will be hard knowing she is sooo close and not seeing her. She will go to tech school and then she will get to come home. I cannot wait to have her here again even if it is for a short time. At least when she goes to tech school she can have her phone and computer so allie can see her on the puter. She is much stronger than I, I don't think i could make it through basic training. She got to shoot an M-16 and go in the gas chamber. sorry the video didn't work who knows why?

2 month check up

Here are some pics we took to send to ericka

one of Joey's first attempts to smile i think he was trying to teach caylee how

Well on Monday we had our two month check up, as much as I was looking forward to it I knew that they were have to have shots and that just killed me. Anyway down to business, timmy is on my lap and he is not too happy. Joey is 11 pounds 4 ounces and 22 3/4 inches long, he is in th 90% percentil for weight, he is our little buddah man. Timmy is 9 pounds 1 ounce and 21 1/2 inches long, Caylee is 8 pounds 14 ounces and is 21 inches long. Timmy and Caylee are in the 10 to 20 percentile for their weight. Doc said all looks good and they are doing great!!!! Then the bad part came. They needed to get shots, there is two us and three of them how do you comfort all of them? well we found out one of the nurses took one of them. Timmy went first he turned bright red and couldn't make a sound, Joey went next and screamed too, Caylee cried till she got picked up. All in all it wasn't too bad.

July 26th, 2 months

Holy Cow, I cannot believe that these babies are already 2 months old, time sure has flown by. They have gotten so big and come a long way since we brought them home. In the last week they have started to smile and really focus on things like the stars above the couch caylee will sit and stare at them for the longest time. Joey is in the bouncy staring at the toys and he has the hiccups too. and He just cooed for the first time, no really I have never heard him do it before just now.


Well today we went down to Mishicot and the babies got to see their first parade and carnival, they mostly slept and then it rained buckets. At least allie got some rides in. I went back to work this week and it has been going well, yeah I miss the babies and allie, it has been 6 months since I was at work, but it is nice to know I will get out of this house and not be stuck here. Granted that if we could afford it and didn't need my insurance I would probably be home with them, but just not in the cards for us. We will survive. Tomorrow we go for shots and will see just how big these babies have gotten.

July 13th Ericka leaves.........

Well it is so hard to believe that Ericka is all grown up and now she is gone. She left for the Air Force today and it really sucks not having her here. But I know this experience will make her stronger and in the end she will be glad she did it too. Here are some pics from today We Love you E!!!!!!! Can't wait to see you in September.
