I almost forgot to share...

I went to Cirque du Soleil last night!!!!! IT. WAS. A M A Z I N G! John got me free tickets through the base ticket office because apparently he frequents their office enough they know him by name now. Hey, this momma is not complaining. I took a friend and we both were just amazed when we left the Kansas Coliseum. There was so much going on and there were so many funny parts to the performance. Not to mention those people have amazing abilities! I would definitely go again and even pay for my tickets next time.

Birthday Kids!

My babies' birthday's are around the corner so we had a little party this weekend. JJ turns three on Wednesday and Maddie's 1st is next Wednesday.

Been a bit busy lately...

We have had 7 visitors off and on for the last week and a half so I have been somewhat distant from the computer lately. Our friend, Adam, came down last week for the weekend and stayed with us and then another friend of his in town. We had some of our Michigan friends, Tim and Shea and their four kids staying with us as well. Needless to say, we have had a very busy household! And I had the kids' birthday party on Saturday as well. Whew! I can't believe JJ is three and Maddie one already!

Weird sleeping places?

JJ always seems to find weird places to sleep....

Early Birthday Present

JJ and Maddie got an early birthday present this weekend! It took John all weekend to put it together but it is well worth it. JJ doesn't stop asking to go outside and play!

Exploration Place

We have been going to the children's museum quite often here since I bought a year pass a couple of months ago. The kids love it! Just thought I would share some pictures since it has been a few days since I gave you an update. Maddie is walking almost all the time now. JJ is struggling with taking a nap or not taking a nap. Other than that we have been enjoying our beautiful weather this week.

Maddie's got the hang of walkin'

Maddie started walking over the weekend. Watch out JJ!

Going Green

Thanks SE for mentioning your reusable grocery bags. I meant to ask where you got them, but then I went to the Commissary yesterday and they have them on sale there! I figure I'll just buy a few at a time. Their only .70 each. I feel so much better using these because I have this huge stock of plastic bags under the sink and hate to throw them away.

These green bags are actually pretty handy!

Projects as of Late

I had made JJ letters for his room when we lived in SA, so I decided to finally make Maddie some letters for her room. JJ's are quite boring, just blue.

And I finally found something to do with all the t-shirts I made John purge from his drawers last year. Too bad I made him get rid of them! I made him scrounge for more when I found this new project to make a crocheted rag rug. This took me 10 t-shirts!!! It's about 28 inches in diameter.

Soccer

Here is JJ playing soccer last Friday. It is his favorite sport! We had GREAT weather this weekend so we got to play lots of soccer.
