- Jackson's neck has miraculously healed! There is only some discoloration left that I'm sure will go away in time. So thankful that he doesn't have any more pain and we are no longer getting dirty looks from passer-bys!
- I'm super proud of my hubby! On Friday Mike began the instructor upgrade course. It lasts about 2 months and is extremely hard, but when he is finished he'll be an instructor! I think it speaks very highly of him that they think he is good enough at his job that they want him to teach others. The only downside is that the upgrade requires a lot of studying and reading, so we won't be seeing as much of him over the next couple of months. Everything has it's price!
- I've been crazy productive this weekend and cleaned the whole house and cooked a bunch of yummy stuff from our bountiful basket! Literally I don't think I sat down at all on Sunday until dinner that night. Speaking of dinner, Mike smoked a yummy brisket (as usual) and Kennedy literally shoveled it in her mouth. I could not get the bites on her plate quick enough! Glad she is such a great eater!
Down:
- This whole past week, as I mentioned in my last post, there was an 'exercise' going on here on base. During the exercise sirens and fake bombings would go off periodically through out the night as well as the jets doing night flights. Mike is super off schedule due his shift changing to 11:30pm-11:30am and then back to a regular schedule on Friday and this week. My sleep was so interrupted from Mike leaving right when I would get to sleep and all the sirens etc. Let's just say I was more than ready for the whole thing to be over. I'm pretty sure I can speak for everyone else on base too whether you have children or not!
- While I'm super glad I cleaned the house, honestly you wouldn't even know it if you looked around today. I think it is entirely impossible to have a clean house with children! Yet another parenting lesson for this neat freak to absorb!

Favorite Things:
My Dad and I are both big connoisseurs of kitchen gadgets. Between the two of us I'm sure we could stock a Bed Bath & Beyond! Last year for my birthday he gave me this apple slicer, peeler, corer. It has been great for many reasons. It's perfect to cut up apples for the kiddos that are peeled and also to make delicious apple pies like I made yesterday! This is a picture of this magic gadget in action. It retails for $19.99 and can be used for potatoes too!
