We're Back!


Well, we've had a very busy Summer. Just a two weeks after we got home from Utah in July, Jessica and I were on our way out again. I went to the Cookie Lee convention in Las Vegas and earned an award for selling $25,000 in jewelry.
From there we went to Zion's for a Sommers family reunion. It was our second time camping this Summer and Jessica did really well. I was thankful for her squeaky shoes so I could keep track of her in the woods! Then we headed up to Utah for a couple more days to visit Hank's family and Anna's grave.
September 17th was Hank's last day in the Army! Woohoo! We thought we would be moving when he got out so we spent the weeks beforehand packing our house....only to find out that he got a job here so now we have to unpack everything.
Hank's brother, Mark, came down to visit us for about a week before he leaves on his mission. While he was here, he and Hank convinced me to take a last minute trip to Southern California. We went to Sea World one day (military gets a free day each year and this was the first time we've gone!) and then Disneyland for three days. Then we went back up to Utah for one last visit before Hank's new job. Eight hours from AZ to CA, ten hours from CA to UT, and fourteen hours from UT back to AZ.
So now we're home and Hank started his new job yesterday. He is a contractor for the military here on Fort Huachuca. He is now an instructor as a civilian. Which means a lot less hours, and a lot more money. He's only been there for a day and a half, but so far he loves it!

And now, a few pics from the Happiest Place on Earth:

So glad to see you're "back"! What does Hank teach then? I'm glad that worked out so well for you. Jessica is growing so fast!

So glad that you're back to blogging - even if we're disappointed that you aren't 'back' in Utah. Congrats on your sales award! (That's another reason it would be nice if you were here)

Fort Huachuca needs to quit stealing our friends and send them all back here. :) Sounds like you got to do some fun stuff, but I don't envy the driving! Let me know if you ever head this direction, I'd love to see you!

I am finally blogging about our big trip to Hawaii last month. It was our 3rd anniversary and our dear friends, the Barnums, said we could come visit them anytime we wanted....so we did! Here are a lot of pictures, in no particular order: On the actual day of our anniversary, April 19th, Hank and I left the baby with a sitter and hit the town by ourselves. Since I wasn't a fan of the whole snorkling thing, we took a submarine ride to get a good view of the sea life. Yes, that is a real sea turtle in the real ocean, 100 ft underwater. I snapped this picture out my window. The view of Waikiki from our sub before we went under. The flag at the USS Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor. It has been raised to half mast everyday since the memorial was erected. Hank helping raise the flag first thing in the morning. "Give me gum gum, dumb dumb." Us and the Barnums at the Temple.

So Sleepy . . .

So, we may be terrible parents, but we thought this was so funny. Jessica wouldn't take an afternoon nap today and by dinnertime she was exhausted. She was so tired that she couldn't even chew her food. The best part was that Hank could not stop laughing at her and it was keeping her awake. This video was much longer, but I cut it down...because watching a baby fall asleep may not be as interesting to you as it was to us.
