Play Group Fun!

Cold weather is officialy here brrrr..... Today the high is 50, but let me tell ya, 50 over here in Germany, does not feel like 50. It was 38 this morning when we left for play group. It was freezing-lol! We did have alot of fun though! They have it over in the gymnasium where they do gymnastics. So there were mats for them to play and climb on, trampolines, wedges, and toys to play with too! Mason had a blast, I think Dylan had fun too-lol! Masons favorite parts were rununing back and forth on the long trampoline and crawling through the tunnels. I tried to get some cute pictures, but Mason never hold still long enough-lol! I did get a few cute ones of Dylan though. Afterwards, we walked over to the PX and ate lunch with Brittany and Latoya and their kids. It was alot of fun! Now were just relaxing inside where its warm-lol! Speeking of cold weather, here are some cute items I have my eyes on for fall-lol!












Well I need to get some cleaning done and a certain little guy is ready for a nap-lol! Here are some pictures of the boys this morning.

My Little Pumpkins.....

So let me start by saying my sweet Dylan finally said Momma, thats right he said it!!!! I have been working alot with him on that word. He said it on monday morning. Josh got up with the kids and went ot to the living room. He was sittig at the table with Mason eating cereal and Dylan was on his play mat. Josh thought he heard him say momma, but thought he was just hearing things. Then Mason was like, Daddy, Dylan is calling mommy but she's asleep. So Josh looked over at him and listend and he said it again! So he called me and said he said momma. So I ran out and he said it again! It was sooo sweet, he was calling for me! that deffinately made my morning! Later that day we went to a pumpkin patch near Heidelberg. There pumpkin patches are different over here than in the states, but are still fun. They had all different kind of pumpkins of all different colors. we attempted to get some pictures of the boys-lol! We got a few cute ones though. Afterward we headed over to PHV base in Hedelberg to meet up with Spencer and Kasey. They were having there Holiday Bazare. Its a bunch of diffrent vendors from around Germany and Americans too. I saw lots of cute things! I bought an ornament for our tree. It's a wodden snowflake with the german flag on it and it says 2009 on it. Its really cute! This lady hand paints them among other things as well. when we were done at the bazare, we ran over to the PX and looked around for a little bit. I found Dylan some cute halloween pajamas. Then we grabbed a quick bite to eat at Taco Bell, considering that was the only place open-lol! Then we just came home and got the kiddos ready for bed and headed of to bed ourselves. Today we didn't do to much. Josh had to go back to work ad the boys and I relaxed at home for part of the day. After nap time I needed to go to the PX and pick up a few things. so I loaded up the boys and off we went. While we were walking Mason was telling me he wanted to go back and visit Texas. He was saying that he wanted to see Mimi and Papa. Then he told me Im going to go with Great Papa and see snakes-lol! That seemed to be his favorite part at the zoo back home-lol! As we were walking it started pouring down rain out of no where. It was sunny outside, so of course I didn't bring an umbrella. Luckily we were close by the Burger King and ran in there. That Germany weather for you though, one minute its sunny, the next its raining. After it stopped, we went on to the PX. Then we came back home and waited for Josh to get home. On Tuesday nights I got to that Dave Ramseys Financial Peace Class. Its a really good class so far. Im really enjoying it. So that has been my eventful 2 days-lol! I hope you all are having a good week so far too. Well I need to head off to bed, we have play group tomorrow at 10. Goodnight!

Story Time, Movies, Bowling, and More.....

Well it has been a busy past few days. So I have lots of pictures to post! Lets see where do I start-lol! On Thursday,I took Mason to story time at the library. The story was about The Hungry Catapillar, very cute story! So at craft time they mad a catapillar just like in the story.

Later that night, I took the boys to see Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs. Kasey came with us too. It was a really cute movie! Mason really enjoyed it! While we were at the movies, our husbands were hard at play at there flag football game. They were playing Delta Co. , which is the co. that Josh used to be in. They kicked Deltas but, go Gargolyes-wooohoo! Friday we didn't do too much during the day. That night we went bowling though with Kasey and Spencer. We had fun, I hadn't been bowling in a long time. Plus it was nice to get out of the house for awhile. I did pretty good that night, I got a strike-lol! I even beat Josh, but in the end Spencer was the winner.
Here's a cute video of Dylan and how excited he gets in his bouncer. This is while I was cooking dinner before we went bowling. Oh and sorry, I couldn't get it to flip the right way.








Yesterday, we finally went paint shopping-lol! We went to Bauhaus, which is the Germans Home Depot.The boys and I got bored waiting on Josh, so we took pictures-lol!I did find this amazing chandalier I want, its only 369 euro. Which is only 545 dollars-lol! We did find a color we want for our house and for Dylans room. So when we finally do paint, I will post pictures.












We also went to Real too, which is the Germans version of Walmart-lol! I wanted to go to Mann Mobila, its this huge store that has lots of furniture, decorations, rugs, kitchen cabinets, and all kinds of stuff for your home. They have some really nice things, but Josh doesn't like it because its expensive. Most of it is, but not all there stuff is bad price. Im sure they have some realy nice fall decorations, because they had really nice christmas stuff.Maybe I can talk him in to go look on Monday-lol! We also took Mason to see Aliens in The Attick. It was a pretty cute movie, but some parts were inapropriate for Mason though. So that is what we have been up to the past few days. Hopefully today, we can go to a pumpkin patch! It rained yesterday,but its not supposed to today. So be on the lookout for pumpkin patch pictures! I hope yall are all having a great weekend so far and remember that today is the day the Lord has made, rejoice and be glad in it!

Joys of A Flight Company....

Boy you just gotta love the army life blah........... Its really not so glamorous. My husband recently moved to a flight company and have'nt seen him much since-lol! He works late pretty much everynight. Not only is it stressfull and tiring for him, but it is for me also. That means I have no help with the kiddos and no break! Which isnt the end of the world I know, but its just nice knowing theres someone there with you to help out. So needless to say, I'm not a fan of his new company so much. It's not because of the people in it, just the long hours. I felt really bad for him the other night. They worked for almost 24 hours and only got 5 hours to rest before they had to be back at work and on top of that, they worked late that night too. My poor hubby, I know hes tired. Well my week has been ok so far, besides not really seeing my hubby. Last night I went to the ladies Bible study at the chapel. I go to the Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace class. Its really good, he has alot of good advice and stratagies. Were going to start it with Josh's next check. So I will let you all know how it works out for us! Today I havent done a whole lot. Lets see, I have made trips to the commisary-lol, played with my kiddos, and watched a movie. I watched Imagine That with Eddie Murphy, that movie is sooo cute, I just love the little girl in it too, shes adorable! Now Mason is runnig around out at the playground and Im just waiting for dinner to be done and for my hubby to get home. Which i heard its gong to be another late night, so we will see. On another note, I got some funny pictures and video of Dylan today! I fed him his first baby food today, bananas. His facial expressions are just too funny! For those of yall wondering why I haven't really put pictures up of Mason, its because I can never get him to hold still long enough to get a picture of him-lol! I guess thats boys for you! Well at least this week Josh has a four day weekend!!!! Hopefully we will go to the zoo or something. There is lots of things close by that I would love to take the boys to. Well I hope you all are having a great week so far. Hopefully mine will get better.
