We have had a great weekend going to bbq's with new friends and neighbors. Friday night we hung out at the Fornes home sitting outside talking and eating while the kids ran around playing up until 9 pm. Then yesterday our neighbors so graciously hosted a bbq for everyone in our complex..more great food and lots of fun for the kids. It is so nice to hear everyone's stories and find out how they ended up here too. Brandon is fishing this morning so the boys and I will venture outside eventually, but for right now we are watching Curious George in our PJ's. I am getting over a nasty head cold and thankfully no one else has it!

great weekend
We thoroughly enjoyed our long weekend together as a family. The boys had lots of trips to the spray park, pool and regular parks. Carter and Daddy fished quite a bit and caught a lot of fish. Brandon heads back to class tomorrow, but the next weekend is not too far away. We are really enjoying our time here much more than we expected. The boys and I are thriving socially!

Spray Park
We are so fortunate to have a new spray park that is within walking distance to our house. The kids loved it and I see us spending a lot of time there this summer.

TGIF
The kids and I had a fun morning at the neighborhood park. The housing office was hosting a cookout with hotdogs, so we took full advantage. We are very excited to have an extended weekend together as a family. Brandon is off next Monday and Tuesday and we have hopes for a road trip down to Dallas,TX. Carter is most excited about staying in another Laquinta Inn and Suites.

Long Day!!!
This Saturday did not go as planned. First off it was raining pretty hard this morning and that put a glitch in Brandon's golf game and the parade. Then little Wes was being awfully fussy and I picked him up to find out he was burning up! So out came Tylenol and Motrin and a big nap.

busy week
This week has been quite busy and we have taken zero pictures. We hope to change all that this weekend when we go to the Armed Forces Parade here in Lawton. It is supposed to be the largest in the country so we should get a lot of pictures.

Our house
Here are pictures of our "finished" home. We only hung pictures in the living room to make it more "homey" but left the rest of the walls pretty bare. I cannot wait to get the new bedding for the boys room and make it cute!

90% there
We are about 90% settled into our new home. I must admit I like this house better! The kitchen looks small but has so much more space than our older one. All of these houses have been deemed historic, so needless to say they are old. They have so much character, I love it!

Happy Birthday Wes
Wesley turned the big "2" today. He has grown up so much these past few months... for example putting 3-4 words together, kicking balls, walking up and down steps by himself, reading himself books, saying "i love you". We tried to come up with somewhere special to take him for his birthday..and we hit the jackpot. We visited the Science Museum of Oklahoma. We had to make an hour drive north to Oklahoma City. Once there we were pleasantly surprised at all the great activities there are for children there. Carter and Wesley were both highly stimulated for over 4 hours. They had a great time!

check in day
Brandon officially checked into Fort Sill today. His class doesn't begin until 11 May, but his orders stated he had to check in by 01 May. Of course they put him on leave until class starts,,he is using his PTAD leave now so he will not be charged any days leave. The boys and I dropped him off at the Marine Detachment (Brown Hall) around 0930 and headed .3 miles to our house..talk about convenient. Anyway, he was there about an hour and was happy to see quite a few officers formerly from 10th Marines.
