Boston

What a wonderful anniversary weekend we just spent in Boston!! We headed down there last Friday and stayed until Sunday afternoon. I cannot wait to get back down there. We saw so much history. We were lucky enough to meet an old Master Chief who took the time to teach me how to do a monkey's fist. He explained a lot about different military knots and what they are used for. He even got us a private tour of the USS Cassin Young! Wow the history and story with that ship was breathtaking. It really will make you appreciate life! We did the Freedom Trail, saw Cheer's, enjoyed some amazing Italian food, toured the USS Constitution, and finished with a trip to the Aquarium. There was still so much we missed that we have to go back again!

A must see!!!

Went to see Mamma Mia with my friends last night and have never laughed so hard! Its a wonderfully fun movie! Makes you want to get up and dance right there!

4th of July Fun!

Mom just wants to have fun

So it's summer!! WOO HOO! I took the kids to the spray park on base and I personally had a great time. The boys had fun too. A good friends little girl was a little unsure of the water so I showed her how to have some fun and got a little wet doing so! We all really enjoyed it and will be back alot this summer.

It's Official

School is out!!! Finally..... Andrew has been promoted to 3rd grade and Mikey is a Kindergartner! Andrew did really well all year and if his grade level had the honor roll he would be on it! Mikey is ready to start school tomorrow but I am willing to wait til September for that to happen. Now it's time to enjoy the summer together! Mike is currently gone and will miss a lot of fun but we keep him updated by pictures. We celebrated tonight with bowling! We had a few great friends there with us to mark the end of school and the beginning of SUMMER! I also got to hang with my little buddy Samie! She will start Kindergarten with Mikey!

Dinner Conversation

The other night we are sitting at the table eating dinner talking about our days when Mikey and Andrew have a conversation that will forever make me laugh. I really thought that we were teaching the kids right and showing them that to succeed in life that you have to work hard. So it went a little like this........

Mikey says, "When I grow up I am going to be a dad, and have a nice house."
Andrew responds, "When I grow up I am going to live at Mikey's house and be the uncle. I am going to sleep in one of the bedrooms."
We asked how that would work if Mikey had kids and they all had there own rooms.
Andrew said, "Well one of them would have to share with the other so I get my own room and if not then I will sleep on the floor."
Mikey then says, "I am not going to get a job because I will be a daddy."
We said that you have to have a job to support your children...
Mikey responded, "The bank has all the money I need!"
