We started the year in Las Vegas and ended it in Florida with our Mama.
Seath,
In March Seath turned one. In June he learned to walk (at the time he found his mode of transportation faster) just before his daddy left for four months. Now he is all over the place and into anything and everything he can reach. He talks all the time and is all boy. He loves balls and cars and he even started head butting everything and everyone. He is very sweet and loving, he will give you endless hugs and kisses. He loves his mama (great-grandma) more than anything and will sit in "their" chair yelling mama and patting the seat for her to come sit back down. At his last doctors appointment he was almost 35inches and 31lbs. He is very tall for his age.
Rory,
Rory started Kindergarten in August and turned five at the end of August. She is the youngest child in her class. She also started Girl Scouts this year, she is a Daisy. She is 45.5inches and 43lbs. Rory went on her first big girl roller coaster this year and LOVED it!! She loves school, teachers, and her friends. She is full of energy and always on the move. She is really into Doc McStuffins, Hello Kitty, and Pinkie Pie from My Little Pony's. She is looking forward to Cookie Sales.
OK,
This year he hung up his badge and beret to go into the medical career field. This caused us to move from Nellis AFB to Keesler AFB. He then had to go to Fort Sam Houston for four months for phase one of his retrain. He only has 30 credits left for his BA. With being in the middle of his retrain and college degree he does not have much time for much else. Even with all that on his plate, he still makes time for the family and an active member of our Girl Scout troop.
Amber,
This year has been long with many ups and downs. Three months after moving across country she had to move again. The bad part to that is she had to do it while OK was gone and she had Bronchitis after having whooping cough. The good thing was within a week of moving she was better. In September she was able to get three days off with OK while her mom watched the children (she went out to OK's phase one graduation). Amber took on being room mom for Rory's class and leader of Rory's Daisy troop. She also started back to college this year for her Teaching degree. She is starting with her AA and will end with her Masters in Secondary Education. She also had her first anniversary of turning 29 this year.
The family,
We started the year in Las Vegas, NV/Nellis AFB and in May we moved across country to Biloxi, MS/Keesler AFB. Three months after moving into our new house we had to move again due to unforeseen circumstances. Thankful Amber was able to go to the First Sargent who got a large group of people, along with the Commander, to help her move.
This year ended very sadly for our family with the death of our Papa. He had been fighting cancer for the last 18 months. We lost him on December 7, 2013. It has been hard on everyone. Thankfully where we are stationed at now gave us the availability to be here with mama and papa when he passed and able to come back to spend Christmas with mama. Here is to hope that 2014 is a better year for all of us than 2013 was.
Both the top and bottom photos were taking in October 2013.
