Happy Holidays

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all! We love and miss everyone. We can't wait to see my mom (Nanna) and dad (Papa) on Wednesday, and Larry (Poppie), Tina (Granny-T), Dusty, and Jordan a lil after Christmas. We hope you all have a wonder Christmas and for those that are traveling we hope you have safe travels to and from where you are going.

Christmas Lights

Andy put up lights for us this year, and he did a good job. He is so proud he got to put lights up on his own house. The girls love them. They have to tell everyone about them. We are all looking forward to our first Christmas in our home. Here are a few pictures of our lights.

Few more pics.

Here are a few more of the pictures I took. The first pumpkin is the one I did for Ashleigh. The second one is the one Alexus did. The third one is the one Shelby did. Alexus and Shelby did most of it themselves, but had to have a lil help.

Happy Halloween

We wanted to wish you all a Happy Halloween. Here are a few pictures I took of the girls the last few days. We love and miss you all.

6 years old

Happy Birthday Alexus. We love you and hope you had a great birthday. Alexus got a new bicycle for her birthday also because they had out grown their old ones. They love them. They want to ride them all the time.

Happy Birthday Shelby

Yesterday was Shelby's birthday and she got a new bicycle . Here are the pictures of her with her new bike.

Here are a few pictures I took of the girls the other day. As you can tell Ashleigh hasn't got much hair hehe. I told Andy the other day she was finally getting bed hair and he said more like bed peach fuzz. Alexus and Shelby are doing good. Alexus has started girl scouts, and Shelby will get to join when she turns 5 in two weeks. Alexus liked the first meeting on Friday. They are making their troop shirts this Friday.

First day of school

Alexus started school today, and I only took 2 pictures, but I will take more when I can walk better and can walk to her room. She was so excited. She came home playing school with Shelby, and telling us all about her 2 new best friends. It is so hard to believe that we have one old enough to be in school. Next year we will have two in school. Man, how time flies.

Andy

Andy called me today from work and told me he had fallen, but was ok. When he said he was ok I figured something was wrong. When he finally got home he said that he has 3 compressed disk, and has torn some tendons in his hand. He is ok, but is sore. He was lucky that he didn't hit his head when he fell instead of his back.

First tooth

Wow, I sure wasn't thinking this day would come for a while. Alexus has had a loose tooth since Andy went to California back in Fefruary. Andy finally got Alexus to let him pull it yesterday. She cried for a minute and then was like: Mom, I can stick my tongue through where my tooth was. I couldn't help but laugh. She was so happy when she woke up this morning and the tooth fairy had given her dollar bills. She ran downstairs after she woke Shelby up and told me MOMMY the tooth fairy gave me FOUR dollars!!!

All Moved

Well we are all moved, but now the fun part begins. I get to unpack everything. Yeah fun, huh? The girls are happy we moved now. They have been spending most of their time outside in the back yard. I am so HAPPY that we have a place for them to play and don't have to worry about them getting hit by a car. The pool was definately a good investment. Alexus and Shelby would live in it if we would let them. Ashleigh loves it also. I took a couple pictures of the girls with Andy playing in it with them today. I will attach them.

We love and miss everyone.

More pics

Here are a few more pictures of the house.

house

Here are some pictures of the house since they painted, carpeted, and got the yard done. Man, I can't wait to move in!

house process

Just wanted to let everone know we are still waiting on all the paper work to go through underwriting. Hopefully it won't be much longer and we will have it all done and we will have a place for the girls to play and run around. Here are a few pictures of the house. These were from about 2 weeks ago. They have the sinks in, the faceplates put up, the sand in the yard for the sod, the Air conditioning, and the electricity so I figure a few more weeks and it will be done.

The first picture is kinda bad but you can see the house atleast. The next one is the upstairs bathroom. Kitchen is next as you can see. That is our back yard. Well, half of it. We will have planty of room for the girls to play. The next is the loft. There is more room on the other side. I didn't take a picture of the room because I couldn't get a picture of how big they were, and I also didn't get a picture of the master bathroom.

Coming home

Hey everyone,
Can't wait to see you on this weekend. Happy Easter!

myspace

Hey I put a myspace together if you all would like to look at it you can click the on our myspace link on right side under links. Took me a couple days to get it the way I wanted it. Tina you will get a kick out of the song on there.

Catching up

Wow Andy comes home and was then informed he had to make up 25 flying hours so he will be going on a short trip on Friday and will be back Sunday, then on Monday and Friday he goes on an out and back which is just flying around here. If he didn't make these hours up he would loose his flying status. This really sucks since he was in training and wasn't excused. He is also trying to make up for the 2 weekend duties he missed while in Cali so he is staying busy. That is a lot to make up in a month, but they were able to get him in the last mission that was going out and on some out and backs. Well, hope you all are doing well and can't wait to see you all again.
Love you all!

Andy coming home

Andy is getting to come home today. We are so excited to see him. He is leaving at 1:00pm California time and will get home at 10:45pm out time. The girls are so excited about their daddy coming home. Alexus told me she can't wait to snuggle with him so I imagine tomorrow he will be busy laying on the couch with her. Shelby just wants to play with him. Them two are hands full. AND no I am not talking about Alexus. I am talking about Shelby and Andy. He has got her to where all she thinks she is supposed to do is play fight. Well, I will try and post some pictures of him with the girls tomorrow since it will be so late when he gets home.
We love and miss you all, Stephanie and the girls

Painting

Here is a picture of my painting and the other picture we picked up. The paiting rreminds me of the Chimney Rock Winery we went to see the other day, and we thought the picture was funny.

Another

Here is another picture.

Pictures of Cali

Here are some of the pictures that we took of the girls and of the vineyards. I hope you all enjoy them as much as we did. I am having to individually load them since on dial-up.

California

We are having a great time in Cali. I have to admit I was so nervous coming to California with all three girls since none of us had flown before. I am so proud of the girls. They never once tried to run out in front of me, and asked me if we could go flying again. The day after we got here we took the girls to Red Lobster and the mall. Yeah RED LOBSTER. Alexus and Shelby LOVE that place. We let the girls make a bear from Build-A-Bear. Alexus named hers Lisa, Shelby named hers Audrey, and Andy named Ashleigh's Cali since it was mine and the girls first trip to California. I think Andy has a new hobby, WINE. I never figured him to drink wine but he likes it. I am going to do either our livingroom or our kitchen in grapes. I found this beautiful serving platter and with Andy's wine glasses and the oil painting I am gonna go shopping for it will look good. Well, I will add more later. We still have a week here and are on dial up atm so will add our pictures later also.

We love everyone, and will see you all soon
