Saying Goodbye

 So..... Dan and I went on a cruise to Alaska and had to leave the kids for 10 days.  We had a fantastic couple stay and watch them, but it was still stressful!  On Thursday May 9, I walked the kids to school/bus stop and once they were all safely away. Dan and I took off for the airport.  But before we left, I had to take selfies with my girls.  Well, most of them.  Marian and Josh were off too early.  But Callie, Delaney and Rylee requested a goodbye photo.

We flew on Eva Airlines, and got to fly on their Hello Kitty plane.

Zipline Fun

 The YW held an activity to go to do the Zip Line course.  Marian and Delaney went and had a blast. I confess to being impressed with the photos the leaders sent.  And so I shall share them with you!

I know, ANOTHER award ceremony

 I feel like I am suppose to make sure to document all these award ceremonies, but I feel a little silly since they have one every quarter.  And the kids are great about being diligent workers at school, which makes good grades pretty easy to get.  So.... I present you with my lovely middle school ladies and their high grade achievement.

An ouchie

 Rylee spent a week complaining about her foo hurting.  Since it wasn't getting better, I finally took her in to see the doctor.  The doctor diagnosed her with a lateral ligament sprain.  So we went home and gave it some TLC, ice and support.  It was feeling better within the next week and seems to be all healed up now.  She's such a silly girl!

Mock Mess Night

 The Marine Spouses Club put on a Mock Mess night.  I was unenthusiastic about going, partly because it was rather pricy to go spend time with a lot of ladies I did not know.  But my friend Amy was in charge of the event, and I went in support of her.

It was a Wild West Theme, and this was as wild west as I could do.  There were some pretty spectacular costumes going on that were impressive.  I was fairly tame, and that was just fine!

Because I was nervous!

But it went well.  This is the Grog I never had to drink. And I was vastly entertained by the shenanigans and silliness that ensued.  And I had a really fun time.   

And this is me and Amy.  I was glad I went and had a good time.
