New Fish on the Block

When we first got our fish tank we bought four fish to go in it. Two of them were the really small basic goldfish and the others were a bit bigger and members of the koi family. The small fish ended up dying within a week ... wasn't too surprised. The fish Aaron had picked died while I was cleaning the tank to first time, so mine was left the lone survivor. It was on it's own for a couple weeks before we decided to get another one for company. Unfortunately, mine died not long after getting the new guy, who's unofficial name is Nemo since it likes to jump up at the filter. 

A week or so later we bought a plecostomus to help keep the tank clean, so it's just been Nemo and the "sucker", as my sisters would call him. The day Aaron came back from the field to do laundry we ran to the store to grab a couple things for him when he went back and since Caleb was good Aaron let him pick out another fish. So here we have Nemo ...


and "the new guy" ...

Having a Field Day ... or 10

A couple weeks ago Aaron's company went to the field for 10 days so it was just the boys and I around the house. We spent a lot of the time hanging out with Brandy and Natasha to pass the time until the guys got back. When we weren't there we were hanging around the house acting goofy ...


I love this one of them .... Jensen's face kills me!


Figuring out his brother's bed




We ordered a pizza one of the nights and the boys and I sat at the table together to eat. They were so funny sitting there sharing cheerios and giggling about nothing.





Halfway through the field a few of the guys got to come home. Aaron volunteered to stay out on guard so they wouldn't have to bring all of their gear back (he did end up getting a few hours to do laundry). Since Gary came back him, Brandy, and the kids came over for a bit to have a look at Murphy and his brake issue and to look at some clothes they had picked up for Ally. The kids had so much fun running around the apt and playing in Caleb's room ... then they attacked Gary.


All the fun just wore Caleb out. Not even 20 minutes after they had gone he was racked out on the couch ...


Peach Fuzz

Caleb loves watching Aaron shave, but he's never been able to reach the electric razor ... until Aaron set it on the lower part of the bookshelf. I walked out of the bathroom after pulling Jensen from the tub to see Caleb, his hair all slicked back and looking adorable, attempting to shave his face just like Daddy.



He was so careful about it ... he must have been taking very good notes while watching Aaron.

Fishing & Park


When we first got to Hinesville and started looking for housing we stopped by a complex of townhouses that Aaron was interested in. The one that had been listed ended up being gone, but as we were leaving Aaron found a little pond with a track going around it and a park to the side of it. Ever since then he's been itching to get back over to it to see what's in there, but I'm not too fond of the area it's in so we've just always gone to Holbrook which is a little farther away. 

I finally gave in and we drove the 3 minutes over to the pond. Aaron brought his poles and Caleb "helped" him pick out a lure. 


Jensen and I sat and watched the two of them for a bit



Caleb really enjoys fishing with Daddy, but after a little while he gets bored and the play ground calls his name. The three of us ended up on the swings as usual while Aaron finished up on the water.

Waiting on Waffles


Aaron found a biding site a few weeks ago and decided he was going to try and win something off of it. He ended up getting a $45 waffle maker for $10 which was a bit of a surprise. A few days later and it was here. Of course it took us a week to actually use it, but we did eventually get around to making some yummy heart shaped waffles. 


Getting Caught Up

OCTOBER 

Woo! I am almost completely caught up on here! I can't believe I was so far behind, but with the move and all the annoying issues we have been having blogging wasn't exactly at the top of my list. 

This month we had some park time with the Warnocks before the guys went to the field for 10 days. Caleb loves going to the park on post here so we invited Brandy, Gary, and the kids to join us.
