"Now if you are going to win any battle you have to do one thing. You have to make the mind run the body. Never let the body tell the mind what to do. The body will always give up. It is always tired in the morning, noon, and night. But the body is never tired if the mind is not tired."- U.S. Army General George S. Patton & 1912 Olympian

Colorado Foliage October 24th

As many of you know, Scott is my tree lover. So, when the kids see a pretty tree we have to stop & take a picture for dad. I have about 20 pictures of this tree. While I was taking the pictures Maci was singing the song..."Under a Shady Tree You & Me".

Pumpkin Shaped Pizza

WE all LOVE pizza. Our favorite pizza place Papa Murphy's Pizza offers pizza in shapes during certain holidays throughout the year. Maximus my Halloween freak was beside himself over his pizza. Seriously, all it had was a stem on the top. Excellent marketing, huh? I bought it!!

Marlena's Eagle Honor Roll Award Ceremony

We are super proud of Marlena!! She loves 7th grade & has terrific teachers this term. She has been busy challenging herself by taking advanced courses in History, Language Arts & Science. One of her favorite classes is Spanish & Art!! This semester she received a 4.0 GPA & that was with missing a week & a half of school to go to Disney World. She worked extra hard before we left for vacation & still had some make-up work when we returned. She's kickin butt & taking names!! WOO HOO!!!

Myles born July 15, 2009

We have a new member in the family. Myles! Yep, he's a Chihuahua. Daddy was a sap, all it took was Maci holding the puppy & begging for him. Oh & the cute puppy dog face & lil cries as it looked at Scott. HA HA HA!! Life is good!!
Maximus is thrilled he has a brother & Marlena just adores the way he cries & sleeps!! These pictures were taken this evening when we brought him home!!! I'm just excited that he went pee pee & poo poo outside. Potty training here we come!
How do you convince Maci to share the new puppy?? POPSICLES

WOO HOO!!! We're getting closer to Scott returning & we're ready!!! Our 12 months apart is almost OVER!!! It feels so good to say that!!

We hung this banner at the Special Event Center where the Soldiers will be returning home at. I hung it early so that we have a good spot. It's hanging by the entrance/exit doors. It can't be missed!! It's the coolest in the gym. Ok.. Ok.. I'm biased!! The Bravo "Bandit" FRG wives & kids cupped the soldiers motor pool fence this past Saturday! We still have a few finishing touches, but I thought I better take a picture now before the wind destroys it!!

Trying out my new Underwater Canon D10 Camera!!
