We had a great day yesterday at the Children's Museum. The girls had a wonderful time playing with their Nana, who has come to visit for a week!

We had a great time making pallets on the floor, the girls had their sleeping bags, and we watched a Veggie Tales movie. Gracie took this picture....pretty good! :)

The girls with their Daddy, they definitely are Daddy's girls!

Craft time at home!!! Emma and Gracie loved painting with watercolors!

Helping Mommy cook....it usually takes way longer and makes a huge mess....but they love to help me in the kitchen!

Bzzagent product review

I am doing a review on Ultracept Hand sanitizer for www.bzzagent.com. This is the next generation hand sanitizer. I love being a Bzzagent, because I get free full size products in the mail. Since I joined about 7 months ago, I have gotten full size John Frieda shampoo and conditioner, Covergirl lipstick, Aquafresh toothpaste, and just recently Ultracept hand sanitizer. Bzzagent is a word of mouth marketing company that anybody can join, and all that is required is that I use the products and tell people (honestly) what I think. So far, I have loved all of the products. The cool thing about Ultracept hand sanitizer is that it lasts 6 hours, it moisturizes, and is non-sticky and non-greasy. I will definitely use it for my kids, I however have really dry skin, so I think that I will stick to my antibacterial lotion. I do like the product for my children.

More recent pics of the girls!

Amazing Friends!

We are loving life in Jacksonville. We go to First Baptist Church, one of the fastest growing churches in America, and we love it! Through our Sunday school class/small group, we have made such incredible friends.....not just for me and Steven, but our girls too. I walk in the mornings usually 2-4 days a week with Sara and her daughters Bailey and Taylor, and we get a lot of good girl time. It makes that hour of working out fly by! Gracie and Emma also have their best friends Drew and Hunter, a.k.a., their future husbands......we see them 3-4 days a week, Liz and I are pretty good friends too. I'm trying not to think about them moving in May, it makes me too sad. We have made so many incredible friendships, especially since we have been home in August, that I can't imagine living anywhere else. We love Steven's squadron, HMLA 167. Over the last few months, we have grown closer to the other couples in his squadron, and the other wives are really fun. Everybody is always up for a party! Our heart is in Jacksonville, and we honestly have grown to love it here, which is really weird to think about, knowing how much I despised it when we first moved here. God has honestly changed my heart!

Fun times at Mike's Farm. Seriously the yummiest food I have ever eaten! I dream about the mac and cheese.......

Small group 80's Halloween Party, Steven and I went as prom king and queen!

Some of our best friends, David and Tyler Stowe.....this picture cracks me up!

We had a great time at the USMC Birthday Ball this year!

Steven's buddies/fellow pilots in HMLA 167. Best Friends Forever! :)

White Christmas!

Christmas Pics! We had a great time in Oklahoma visiting family over the holidays. The flights were great, even though I had to fly with the girls by myself, since we took so long buying Steven's ticket. I was a nervous wreck, but the girls did awesome, they played together good, and Emma napped for two of the four flights. Steven hadn't been home since last year before he deployed, so he really enjoyed being back in Oklahoma seeing his mom and dad too! We endured Blizzard 2009, even though I got stuck at work for 18 hours, it was a huge blessing, because I made enough money to cover the price of our plane tickets, which was incredible, and I love my job in OKC, so it was great to be able to see my old friends again! It was only supposed to snow 4-6 inches, and it snowed 14 inches! It was crazy, but really fun, I'm really glad the girls got to play in the snow, because it doesn't snow that much in J'ville.

Here are some of my favorite pics from Christmas!

Emma's face cracks me up in this pic, she is OBSESSED with my dad....when he is around, nobody else matters. They just got in from playing in the snow, and she was loving it!!
Our only family pic over Christmas......it is so hard to get a good pic, with a 2 and 3 year old!
Emma loving her Boz book!
Gracie is such a cheeseball.....
Don't you all love my girls pink and purple "Christmas dresses".....I don't really care, they are my FAVORITE dresses!!
