Fishin And More Swimin













Went up to the new swimming
pool here on post. Nathan had a blast! It has a few water fall things for them to walk under. We have been on a fishing extraviganza lately. We went on Saturday, did not catch anything, but we got stuck in the mud. Luckily a truck came a helped pull us out. Its amazing how a little mud puddle can trick you. HA HA. Jamie's sister and the kids went with us last night to do some fishin at the spillway. I brought Nates life jacket not knowing what it was going to look like. I am sure glad I did! The kids each caught 1 'small' kitty fish each, and I caught one too. Nate had fun holding the kids minnows that they brought. I think they named all of them.

Ahhh the sound of drills and hammers!

Well its finally time for some upstairs neighbors. The upstairs has been vacant for over a year now. Fort Polk is up-grading as many of these on-post housing with new fixtures and cabinets. They have been working across the street, and now have made their way over here. It should be ready by June. We are both excited to see who moves in considering usually couples with a young child live in these.
Please pray for good neighbors and another friend for Nate. :)

They made it!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am soooooooo happy the fish made it to Illinois! He wrote me a note and this is what it said,

"Hey, I got them today and all was well except for one that doesn't look like he will make it. I think he was being picked on because his tail was a little messed up and coupled with the stress of the trip it took its toll on him. Thank you "

Fun In The Sun Round 2






Well I brought Nate's pool from the backyard into the front yard so that the neighbors little boy could soak in the raze with Nate. Soon the upstairs neighbor then bought a bigger one and brought it down. Her two ye. ar old daughter and her friends 3 year old son came to play. Soon we had kids coming from all over the street asking to swim! So we had to designate some pool rules. We had an adult pool, middle age pool, and the kiddy pool. Nate is a little rougher then the kids his age, he tends to play with the older kids, but I guess that is because he is not around kids is own age. Used Banana Boat SPF 50 sport, and Nate was the only one that did not get burned......
(product review HA HA HA.)
We are going out again tonight when the sun goes over the house so the others dont get burned again.

Thanks To CashCrate!!!





Well I just could not resist adding a garden to this humble home of ours. Jamie buggs me all the time for doing this. He says we put these gardens in and never get to enjoy them, and someone else does. HA HA HA I figured this was a treat for me with my little computer greens I made.
Thanks mommy for inspiring me, from your daughter who said she would always grow vegetable gardens! :).

Busy Day











I am sorry I have not put anything on the blog lately it has. been a non eventful week. Church service was really good this morning. He talked about the heavenly and earthly things and atitudes. We went to Aligator park and tried Nathans first fishing trip. He did really good and understood exactly what he needed to do. The fish were not biting, but he had a good time.
Then we headed over to Warrior Park and let him look at all the World War machinery. We then went to the park and let Nate go crazy. The weather was so nice and cool it was a perfect time to enjoy the outdoors here at Ft Polk.
After a nice long day Jamie grilled some dogs.
