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.
Brandon officially started CCC (Captain Career Course) on Tuesday. He was able to meet his small group leader and the other members of his small group. They split all the Marines up into separate groups. He actually did not even go in at all today because all the classes were for Army only.
The boys and I have been exploring and checking out different activities for children here on base. We have been going to a play group at Nye Library and there is also a weekly Explorer's Club we are going to check out next week. Carter is signed up to take swim lessons in July and he is very excited. The boys are also going to a local church next Friday night for Parents Night Out from 6-10. Brandon and I are excited to have a "date" night finally!
As for me, I attended another Marine Detachment (Mar Det) coffee on Tuesday night. We played Bunco and it was really a lot of fun. All the ladies here are super nice and very welcoming. Yesterday the whole family and I attended a spouse's orientation for CCC. It was interesting to see the perspective the Army has on spouse participation (polar opposite from Marine Corps), but interesting. We are having our first CCC coffee on May 26th.
Busy Busy Busy!!
Wes is still doing great in his big boy bed and the boys have adjusted wonderfully. Some recent new/funny things they are doing:
Carter: trying to tell time, obsessed with ice cream, still all things Cars, loves watching the Penguins from Madagascar, sprinting around the park while Brandon times him, of course talking non stop
Wesley: saying "more cookie please mama" "dada i got cracker" "night night momma, love you" " lightning mcqueen" "look turtle!" he loves singing/listening to baby bumblebee, trying to count, sitting on the potty, looking for "cows" as he calls them.
