Sam after she drew all ove herself. Thank lord it is washable marker.

Ceilidh on the computer with Wally looking at himself in the reflection.

Well we've hit the two week mark. Only 26 more weeks to go till BIG Wally is home.

I kids are doing great. Actually I am surprised everyday at how strong they are. I know little Wally and Sam and still young but it's Ceilidh is just out of this world. I mean yeah she has bad days but so does every other 8 year old. She could have become a complete NIGHTMARE!! with Wally being gone but she has been awesome.

I am praising the kids so much they will all probally all have a complete melt down in the next few days...lol.

We are all staying busy. Ceilidh and Sam are both in gymnastics. I take Wally and Sam on a few playdates during the week. We have also been trying new things. Wally and I tried baby -n- me Yoga let's just say it ain't for us. To foo fee. Next week I am going to some work-out classes. The classes themselves are $2 and then it is an additional $1 for each child you put in the childcare so $4 alltogether. Can't beat that. I have been telling mysef that if I find the classes to hard that I am just gunna remind myself that it is a kid free hour....lol

I spelt video's wrong ...LOL.

Now everyone can see how Sam acts around people...SCARED. She doesn't even like other kids. You can see how she reacts when another kids gets on the trampoline. She's nuts let me tell ya..LOL. It's to funny in the vid Wally takes cause you can hear me talking to Stephanie bailing on Rec rollers...LMBO

Alot of things have been goin on since I last posted..... We are building a new house,Sam turned 2. well only two things I guess but they were both really important.

Getting the house has takin up alot of our time. We had to go pick out cupboards, flooring, etc. We decided to build in highland Park subdivision. It is only about 7 min down the road from base. I am not sure if it is even 7 min. I might time it one of these days just to see how long it actually is. The hosue will be ready for us to move in Nov 20 2008. I will be movin on my own with the kids since Wally will be away then. I am not to worried about cause it has to get done. I am going to be looking around for a moving company I know that much and a few of my friends have offered there husbands to my disposal.........lol.

Oh and I forgot......again. It was our 3 year anniversary and we both forgot the day came and past and then we went oh crap yesterday was our anniversary...........lol. We just had so much goin on it was insane.

Sam turned 2 on July 31. We had a little cake and ordered some pizza for supper. We are having some friends over today to celebrate both the girls birthdays.

Wally started wearing his Tan combats now in preparation for going overseas..... That was a bit scary seeing him getting ready cause now we know it is just around the corner/ Although next week they are back to wearing the green ones cause the tans ones go to get dipped in some weird stuff that helps with the bugs over there.

Wally in his new combats.

This is the layout of the main level of the house. there are only some small differences. we got a double garage and there won't be a wall in the kitchen cause we went with an island..... and the plane will be flipped cause we got a corner lot.

Well here we are

We made it safe and sound to Cape Breton in 24 hours I would like to add. The kids were great on the drive.

While driving through Quebec (right outside Montreal) we got to see the police use a spike strip to stop someone in a high speed chase. It felt like we were on an episode of Cops. The Police apprehend the driver only about 4 km farther down the road. I think they did a great job considering only us and another vehicle pulled over ( on a six way highway).

We have been having typical Cape Breton weather. We have had the furnace on everyday except for today since we got here on Saturday. Today however was nice and we spent it at my Aunt Cathy's in Mira.

Today was Ceilidh's 8th b-day so I took her to the movies to see Wall-E but we had to leave early cause she puked everywhere. Poor thing!

That's all that's new on the home front. I'll be posting again soon. Although I won't be able to add pics till we get home.

On Saturday a Local Water Park had a Military Appreciation day. Military members and there families had full access t everything with the exception of food. The kids had a great time as did me and Wally.

The Ritchie's and Tenants came along with us. All families had a wonderful time. We are thinkin about making a camping trip there in Aug.

Lets try this again

So here we go again. I am gunna try blogging AGAIN. As we all know I failed at it before the dropshots was just such an easier option. Now I have filled another dropshots account and Wally will not let me begin a star account...... The reason being we have our credit cards paid off and he doesn't want me to put a monthly fee on one of them...... Understandable when I can just find another method to post pics for free.

There have been a few things goin on with us.......

Ceilidh had her b-day party last weekend. She was really excited about being able to have a party with friends from school.

We had to go this weekend and buy extra toiletries for Wally to have packed for this coming week. As they have to have some of there stuff packed to be sent over to Afghanistan.

Ceilidh will be done school this week. Its hard to believe she is finishing grade 2!!

And we are gunna be headin for home next weekend.........YIPEE
