Its crazy weather here! Its been raining for WEEKS! so we weren't sure if we would be able to see fireworks. It rained in the morning yesterday, but stayed clear for the Firework Show last night. But it was so very cold! 57 degrees! We had jackets and blankets on... it did NOT feel like JULY!!! The girls were major excited for the fireworks. We didn't get home and in bed until about 12:30-1am. The fireworks didn't even start until 10:30 when it FINALLY gets dark here.
It was a fun time though. The girls got to see some ponies (but they had closed the pony rides right before we showed up) and jump in a bouncy castle and bouncy maze. We just sat in our chairs and ate popcorn, cotton candy, and roasted almonds and peanuts while the girls played with a little girl whose family was sitting next to us. Karis saw about 30 seconds of the fireworks, fussed like she was scared and nursed under the blanket and konked out right after they started. Everybody had a fun time, and the girls looked so funny when we got home. Konked out in their seats with mouths wide open and about to drool! LOL! And I forgot to get a pic!

The girls are doing good. Karis will be one in two weeks! This last year went by so quickly and she is such a little mischief maker! Wonder where she gets that from? LOL! She's standing on her own and walking while pushing things such as chairs and ride-on toys. So she should be walking soon! I don't know if I'm ready for her to be walking! She already gets into enough stuff!
Ruby is a little brat, as usual, she's 2, what do you expect? She's been getting mouthy lately and has an attitude that I do not like. I keep telling myself that Sierra did the same thing and I just need to get through this stage without killing her! She's a cutie though... that's her saving grace.
Sierra is just way too smart for her own good. She remembers EVERYTHING! So make sure you don't tell her on Monday that we will go to a movie on Friday, because she will remind you!!! And she's into puzzles lately. Ever since a friend from the Netherlands visited and her children brought puzzles. And we've gotten her some hard ones for like 7 year olds and she is still doing them real quick. At least she enjoys doing them over and over... and over and over again! Oh and she is becoming quite the little photographer! She loves to use Mommy's camera to take pictures of her sister and Mommy and Daddy. She actually took this picture of us when we went outside for the few hours of sun on Monday.
Dustin and I are doing good. His job just got switched to a different squadron and he is on a normal schedule. No more nights, weekends, or weird shifts!! Oh, and he will get all Holiday's and Base down days off! I don't know what I'm going to do, I'm not used to him being home. LOL! He might get on my nerves! But he's enjoying being the 'supervisor' at work since he added that extra stripe to his arm! HAHA! I'm still doing full time daycare and have about 6 kids during the day (it fluctuates and the kids rotate, but most days I'm at 6 kidlets running around). I just keep telling myself that we are trying to get out of debt... If I can just stick it out another year and we will be good!
