Six Flags

Today was one of those day where I kept thinking I should take a picture. But, did I? No.

So here is a small recap. A good friend in from DC, nutty B, Sarah F and I took the troops to safari drive threw and six flags. We did the safari at nine am which worked out great because it was feeding time and the animals were very active. The drive through the Safari was about an hour, driving at 12 mph. Most of the troops were in utter melt down mode after 45 minutes. And, because you can not get out of your car one three year old peed in a snack cup which was then carefully balanced by Momma until she got a chance to throw the specimen out the window.

Six Flags was also more enjoyable for W than I had expected. Despite the fact that a friend has said over and over again how much she had last year with her two year old son. There were a few kid friendly rides, and one area concentrated specifically on toddlers. W was to little to go by himself on all but one ride. I acted fat and not pregnant and went on the rest with him.

Just for the sake of getting the word out. Buy your tickets on base at the ticket place. I think it's called ITT but I might have it's abbreviation confused with the college ITT. Either way, it's the ticketing place on base. We got the safari and six flags for 33.00 and parking for 11.00. Normally we would have paid 60.00 at gate or 37.00 if bought online. Plus, 17 for Parking and Safari upgrade for 12 bucks. Two and under are free. Yikes that get pricey!

I hope we get to go again someday. And, I hope you do too.

Wyatt loves slides! For the first time today he decided the bigger the better. Here is on the biggest slide at Wacky World, the play ground on base. He not only did this repeated time, but he also scared me half to death climbing up a ladder and falling head first off the swinging bridge. Thank-goodness wacky world was smart and put down tire sheds as mulch. The extra cushion help break the fall. Oh, and No he didn't cry! W said "boom" wiped his hands and took off sprinting to keep up with his, almost four year old, buddy Jackson.

Fwd: Looking good, looking good!

W version is "ookin good ookin good". He made sure I knew he had his glasses on. Things to note, he had to remove the Paci for this picture and he has his cell phone tucked in next to his leg. Also, apples and juice cup and I am sure somewhere in that seat there is "poobies" and "nommie". Translation: little people, and money.

Wyatt's funny face

Cousin B

On her 6 birthday!! Yikes! Also her birthday marks 6 years since D and I married and moved away from Ohio. We literally left the day after she was born and started our drive to Texas where we stayed for 4 1/2 years. So, thankful we are now closer to her! Oh, and the rest of the family too!! ;)

Cousin L

Put on Moms shoe, wouldn't take it off!

Double jogging stroller

After looking for about a week on craigslist, I finally found what I was looking for. A double Bob jogging stroller. Retail for way too much money somewhere around 500.00. I brought it for 80 bucks!!! God is so good and I love Craigslist.

Pump it up

Montgomery has several kid friendly activities. Here is one we visited on Friday, Pump it up. Basically, think inflatable bouncy castle, inflatable basketball court, inflatable jumbo two story high slide and a inflatable obstacle course.

Wyatt spent his time either jumping, sliding or running in circles squealing with delight and pointing at which activity he wanted to try next.

From 930 to 1100 he jumped he's heart out. It only cost 6.60 for the open jump. This is a new weekly adventure! Sorry the pictures are blurry! I only had my iPhone with me. And, yes I was in every single one with Wyatt. I even got to slide several times. :)

Montgomery Museum of fine Arts

Yes, I took my 17 month old to the fine arts museum. I am trying to start art appreciation at an early age!

Ok, They have an amazing kids area. Some activities were too advanced for Wyatt, he did his best to keep up. They had easels set up for drawing, a picture framing game, a abstract picture turned into racetrack with remote control race cars, blocks, books, puzzles, a puppet area, a thermal body dance wall, and a patch work Velcro quilt. Wyatt explored it all. He even wanted to sit on the easels and color. We stayed for about an hour and a half. Admission was free! I think we will return again soon.

We are Pregnant

We feel so blessed to announce that we are expecting a new arrival in August. I am seven and a half weeks pregnant. We are praying that everything continues to go well. After a little scare at 5 weeks (I had some unexpected spotting) all seems to be settling down. We also thank you for continued prayers and we know that God is in control no matter what happens. In the mean time, I had my first experience with morning sickness at six weeks. I thought it was going to last forever and I was convinced I was having a girl. But, I woke up the morning of week 7 and haven't been nauseous since. Which also convinced me its now a boy. Granted, I am eating everything in sight. We will keep you all posted.

Squadron officer school

We arrived in Montgomery a week ago. Since then, I've converted this tiny studio apartment into a livable space for our family.
The kitchen is miniature but it is stocked with the basics. A refrigerator, microwave, sink, oven with stove burners, and ample storage for our five weeks stay. We even were supplied with a toaster, coffee maker, a few pots and pans, silverware, dish-ware, and kitchen utensils. What I needed extra the "loan locker" let me barrow.
Such as:
Pizza cutter, high chair, baking sheets, muffin tins, pie plate, extra silverware, large drinking glasses, cheese grater, can opener, and an extra laundry basket.
A few tips for soon to be SOSers.
After polling my girlfriends, I found it useful to bring with me some of my most favorite kitchen gadgets. A cock pot, cutting board, my favorite knifes, extra dish cloths and towels, extra wash cloths, DVDs, books, our own queen size sheets and pillows, a memory foam mattress topper, blender, our pack and play, extra quilt and blankets, night lights, flashlight, laptop, printer, cleaning supplies, and vacuum, curtains, tacts, tape, hole punch, and a mini broom and dust pan.
Now it feels like home sweet home... Alabama.
