Another Sunny Day!!

We've been outside to play at the playground just next to our house!!! It was great to sit in the sun for awhile and watch the kids romp around. Wales and most of England is supposed to have unseasonably nice weather for the nest few days so I'm going to try to make the most of it.

The twins are down for a nap and I'm doing some spring cleaning...sort of. I can't find my back medication so I've been a bit on the sore side today but am hoping to walk it off at the gym tonight. I did zero exercise over the weekend and am needing to burn off some calories!!

Cole is teething big time, it shows in his diapers and on his little red cheeks! Poor baby.. I've been spiking his hair up and making him wear his kilt alot so maybe he's just mad at me? Not sure..

Best thing I've heard all week!!!

EVERYONE needs to go to this website: www.glassbooth.org


If you don't understand the questions wikipedia is linked to the issues so you can understand the questions. Do it and figure out which candidate you are best suited to vote for and just hope you have the chance to vote for them! It is so important, I cannot stress this enough. It is a privilege to have the ability to vote for the next American president. I have alot of friends who wish they had a say in it!! Quit being apathetic!!!

Sun's Out

Hurray!! The sun is out, we are headed out for a walk soon! Yesterday marked yet another milestone for the twins. They are officially out of their newborn carseats and into the big kid carseats. The new one arrived in the mail yesterday and I have zero shame in admitting that I was wiping some tears away as I installed the new ones. They look like spaceship seats, with little jets all over them too! I guess the good news is that they are easier to get the babies into and out of! Now I just need them to be potty trained and I'm good as gold...

They got their first birthday presents in the mail yesterday. Tim's cousin Bev has 3 and half year old twins as well and sent them some musical instruments and a dress for indi. You can see them performing below:

Ug.

Another Sunday. The weather remains awful, BUT I'm not being tortured in America with the dreaded Super Bowl. I hate the Super Bowl. Football scary sport, steriods anyone?? I used to watch it for the commercials. I couldn't care less about who wins. Those stupid commericals really bug me. Especially when I think about how much the companies pay to have them aired. Moving on......

We have a fire going in the livingroom, the kids are playing nicely together for the moment, and I'm recovering from a very social weekend with pals. We are being very civilized right by listening to classical music. Whelp, that's all from this end! Hope you all had a killer weekend, looks like the weather is a bit rough everywhere right now so bundle up people!!

All Hail the conquering Hero...

Hiya folks. We've returned from a long day on the base. Tim had an award presentation for "bravery" in Afghanistan. And by bravery, I mean, behaving like a total hero!!!



Tim's been very tight-lipped about his experience in "the Stan" since he's returned and I had heard it through the grapevine that he had done some serious Rambo stuff warranting this award. Basically he took out some Taliban guys who were firing at some Marines on the ground. The Marines were not quite sure where the enemy were firing from and were in dire need of help. Tim had been in the same spot a few days before and had a hunch. He had very little fuel and guided his wingman to a spot he had been two days earlier, allowing his wingman to finish the job, only for them to crop up somewhere else. Now, with very very little fuel, Tim fired at them from VERY CLOSE UP and succeeded in completing the mission and saving a bunch of dudes!! Tom Cruise better shut his pie-hole and quit pretending, because the real deal is out there people....



So all of this is being read aloud in front of this whole room of important people and I'm listening to it thinking " they can't possibly be talking about Tim?" , totally slack-jawed and looking like an idiot I'm sure. Not to mention my babies babbling loudly and trying to escape my arms...

Needless to say, I'm a VERY proud wife at this moment.



Right, well, we forgot the camera. Sorry. But here is the only pic I could muster before the battery died: Plus a vid of Tim playing with Cole
