TWO MORE WEEKS!

Chris' New "Toy"!

Allie on Daddy's new toy! :-) Chris has been wanting a riding mower for some time now. It use to take him a few hours to push mow our whole lawn - now he should be done in no time! :)

Daddy and Al
I even tried out the new mower. I will really enjoy having this mower next year when Chris is in Iraq. It would be hard push mowing the whole lawn and watching two little ones! :-)
Check out Allie's tattoo! :-) Don't worry Grandma's, it washes off! =)
Going for a ride!
Making sure everything works!! :)

Jane Wayne Day!

Two weekends ago, Chris' Battalion had a Jane Wayne Day for all the families. It's a day for family and friends to hang out with their Marines and see some of the things they do on a daily basis. Here is Allie trying out the obstacle course.
Hanging on all by herself - making me very nervous! :(

Allie in some kind of Big truck! :) Learning how to drive!
