Blue Lips

We went to the commissary one day & MJ was really good so we let her pick one 1 thing of candy. She picked out the baby bottle thing that had some powder inside. I'll let you guess the color. Showing us her tongue:


She liked having blue lips & tongue. She would keep going to the mirror to look at it.

My Crazy Kid

MJ is one of the most funniest kid I know. We never know what she'll come up w/.

Ben's aunt gave her this singing microphone that plays "Be Our Guest". She really don't know the words so she make her own... it's really funny to hear her try to sing.

We were watching TV one evening when MJ come in wear this:

Snow, snow, & MORE snow

We whole 3 1/2 years we have lived here it's NEVER been this bad! It's been snowing off & on for a while now. Here's some ramdom pictures from the last few weeks.

It's snowing is really hard here: Mollie these are for you. I know Ben will not miss shoveling snow when we leave here:

We're Coming Home

As many of y'all know that we'll be coming home to Little Rock Air Force Base in Jacksonville, AR in late May:

Yes, we are VERY excited! Me & Ben met & got married there. We moved to Abilene, Texas & had MJ before getting orders to Ramstein AFB in Germany. We've been back to the states since Benjamin & Janaye's wedding on October 2007. We're hoping to move to Vilonia since it's close to the base & we like the school distract. Plus, my best friend Allie lives there too! We got to Germany in late May 2006. MJ was still so little. It will be nice for her to be around both of her grandparents. We've been lucky to have this opportunity to live here. We've also been lucky to gone to some wonderful places & had some great visitors a long the way.
