Reading Buddies

Justin took some time to read Carter a book outside.

Super Duck

Carter was the first one in his class to have Super Duck spend the night! Every day a child is picked to bring home the Super Duck because of their well behavior. The have to read a book to the duck, bring him everywhere they go, and at the end of the day they have to write in the class journal about what they did together. As you can see, Super Duck and Carter wrote his skateboard together. :)

The Week Of The Eagle

Here is the beginning of the troops. I couldn't upload my videos for some reason (I will keep trying though). So I went onto the Fort Campbell website and took these off of there. If you click on the picture you can kind of see how far back it goes. The kids and I woke up at 0530 to watch the Division Run! It took well over an hour for all the soldiers to run by! What a sight!
And I made a mistake...my neighbor told me there was 2500 soldiers running...there was actually more than 18,000 soldiers! (Guess she was WAY off!)

Top View

The first group took off while the other units waited for them to pass and then joined the end of the line.

Week Of The Eagle

(There will be more clips coming...it is taking forever to upload.) This is the very beinging of the run. 2,500 soldiers ran four miles for The Week Of The Eagle! Very exciting to watch! Here is the first group, as they run by each unit, that unit joins them and it eventually becomes a VERY LONG LINE of soliders!

Early Birds

Mommy woke up at 5:45 this morning to find her babies were not in their bed! Apparently, Brother took his little sister out of her crib, carried her downstairs, gave her breakfast, and turned on the cartoons! Next time he wants to do something like this he agreed to wake Mommy up first!

Sign Language

Fingers to mouth; Food. Rubbing tummy; Please. Looks like she is blowing a kiss; Thank you. Touching fingers together; More. She DOES know how to sign ''Help'', she was just being stubborn in the video. She is also learning ''Mommy'' and ''Daddy'' at the moment. She is a very quick learner!

Just Like Daddy

Aralynn is like the energizer bunny. She keeps going and going and going. When ever we put music on, this is what she does... and she doesn't stop. She defiantly gets her dance moves from Daddy!
