Hey Family......
Just an update on what's going on around here.....
Rick finally got his orders to SUBPAC here is Hawaii so that is one thing we can breath easy about. We are stil waiting to hear his exact transfer date. And as soon as he transfers he will be hitting the books. We are going to the Submarine Birthday Ball next Friday and he is doing the invocation.
Britt is still wrestling with going to school here or not. All I can do is pray. We went to an awards ceremony Monday where they gave her the Presidential Scholarship. Above is a picture of her with the school mascot Sharkey.
They asked Joshua to come play Varisty this year but after some discussion he decided that he would rather be a guaranteed started and see some serious playing time on JV this year rather than ride the pine for Varsity. So he will stay on the JV team.
Becca is getting ready to transition to high school and is very excited:) She will be cheering on the jv squad this year.
Zach just wants Aunt Amy and Unlce Ben to get married so he can get a mowhawk and die it blue....
Me, I love my job....but I did I apply for another job doing the same thing for the Army...making $10000 more a year. I don't want to leave my current job, but we need to prepare all we can for the upcoming retirement. *sigh*
Sunday we will be going to church and then having friends over for dinner....how about you guys?

Hi family
Not too much new stuff going on here. I was on vacation last week, a week I didn't even ask for off but I'll take it! I did NOTHING all week and it was great.
It was a week for the ncaa tourney. Ben's family takes it very seriously and I've heard about past years that were crazy. So I decided I would take it all in! It all started on Sunday. That was Selection Sunday, where who ever I don't know, decides which teams get which seeds and where they will be playing. UCONN got a #1 seed! They were put in the west, where they've won it all in another year. So everyone is pretty excited about that.
Monday I got to hang out with Nino. It was suppose to be nice out, but of course it wasn't. So we hung out inside playing all day. Ben's sister was in town and we had to meet one of Ben's friend's new lady friends, so we went out Monday night to grab a couple of drinks. Well, the place we went to was having karaoke that night. Even after a couple I couldn't go up there and sing, no way!
Ben and his sister went up a few times. I had a good time, we never go out so it was nice.
Tuesday and Wednesday I really didn't do anything at all. Slept in both days, went to the mall to get my hair cut but too many people were there so that ended that. Cole came over on Wednesday with Nino so we could go get a baby shower gift for one of the girls we work with. Me and Ben went one time to Babys r us with Nino and Nino kept asking one of the workers if he could get a job there. Ben told Nino that if he wanted to buy something he would need money and to ask someone for a job. So he did, and he didn't get the job:(
Then on Thursday....I cut up some veggies and made dip for the long day of basketball ahead of me. We went to Ben's parents house to watch all the games. His parents were there, his brother, one of his friends and a friend of the family came to watch UCONN, who kicked some major butt. The veggies went over very well and there was food all day long.
Friday the same thing.
Saturday the same thing. I made some chili cheese dip at half time and that was gone in 10 minutes. So for my first tournament, I had a great time. I filled out a bracket which was a good way for me to cheer for teams, otherwise I would have been bored out of my mind. Basketball from noon til past midnight isn't so bad if you have good people with you, good food and a good bracket!
Then it was back to work on Sunday :(
That's all that's going on with me...I miss everyone so much.

Hey Family....
What's shakin? I know I need to finish our Hawaii vacation blog....I just have been crazy busy. I think Benehana is next....followed by our trip to Anna Millers for PIE:)
I have had the crud....as we have heard that Jenn and the girls have also had it...love it when kids share their germs:) I have to wean Zach from drinking from my cup...bad habit.
Go on over and check out my blog for pictures of Zach with his shaved eye brows......I blame Amy and Ben:)
Rick is in port four a couple of months...then he does a couple of weeks before Britts Graduation...then shore duty...whatever that means. Britt still has not decided about school...for me the choice would be easy...but what do I know?

ninos bday party
hey everyone,
this is alittle late but ninos birthday was fun. of course we got snow so three kids couldn't come. but we did have four others plus nino. the theme was star wars, and tony found a ballon that sang the star wars theme, we still have it and it is still inflated, awesome hearing that everyday! but the kids played musical chairs, which amy was the musical chair leader, pin the tail on the donkey and sword fights. one of the younger kids beat the crap out of nino and caden, the two older ones. it was very funny. we got him his first bike with a lighting mcqueen helmet, he rides like a madman. amy got him a darth vader costume, which he puts on everyday at some point.
miss everyone
