Jake Graduates

For those that don't know, Jacob graduated on July 10th! Can you believe that the 22 weeks is over?? I am still not quite used to him being home so much. He has started work and is liking it. (except for the 3rd shift thing) The schedules are a little tricky right now. They change things all the time...which makes it a little hard for me to work. Have to make sure the children are taken care of. :) Nontheless, I am super proud of my guy!

OVER A MONTH

since i have been on here. hmmm. well, thank my employer partly. They banned this site at work so now I can't blog on my break. Though....I did have a great conversation with a wonderful friend tonight who shared a little blogging secret with me. Thanks to you dear friend. You shall remain nameless so you won't get caught at work. :)

um, so in the morning, I am driving to Jacksonville. Why??? we are closing on a house. WHAT??? Yep, if all goes well, Jake and I will once again be homeowners. PRAISE GOD! HE is wonderful isn't he? He has taken Jake and I and carried us this far through this trying time and we are nearing the end. I can't help but think of that footprints story. God is good.

Post later.

the new boys!

This is Jake sporting his new style. SLICK! In this picture he is in Talledega learning all about pursuit driving. Don't you think he is hot?? I love it! I am so proud of him and I miss him so much.

This is Cooper eating prunes. He had a great time as you can tell. He is growing up so fast. You know he has 2 teeth now and 2 more coming through.

And, here is my little man...Ayden! He got a haircut soon after Daddy did. We are spiking the hair and using gel. He is so proud of styling his hair and the kids at school think its "cool"

What is new...

we are in week 9 of the 22 required to complete the academy. i still have moments each week where I break down and cry. Though it has gotten easier for me to deal with the fact Jacob is gone during the week, I still have a hard time coping during the week. With the support of family and most importantly God carrying me through, the week is endured only to start all over the next week.

Ayden is playing baseball. We start this weekend with the games. I am very excited and so is he. He is such a great athlete! Dad and Uncle Ausbin are coaching. We have a good team, I think. All of the boys try so hard and they are cute!!

Cooper is about to be mobile. He is getting up on hands and knees. Won't be long until my baby is crawling everywhere.

AND last....we are in the process of buying a house in Calhoun County. It is a nice sized house and we have room for everyone to come see us...hint hint! We hope to close in May and for sure be in the house by July. WOW, it is getting so close!!
