An absolute awful day packing.

So, I actually started packing the boys' things up today and it was a lot harder than I thought it wuold be, I actually cried the whole time. It was a horrible day, sometimes I feel hit by a truck harder and harder. It is way to real now. I only have one day left and I hope I can get through it being positive. I know we have many journeys and opportunities in our life that not many people can say they have done, but we have absolutely loved it here in Virginia. I had such a rough day today I called my best friend Roseanna and later on she brought me a cheer up present that actually made me cry more. To make me cheer up she brought me a humungous diet coke, 5 ms. fields chocolate chip cookies and a willow tree angels and I have alot of them and I love them so much, they have all been gifts to me. She got me the I love you angel and it is beautiful! Thank you Roseanna, I don't know what I would have done without you today, you have been such a blessing! You made the rest of the day great! ! See you tomorrow at the football game for our final goodbye :-(

American Idol

I love watching American Idol. I have been a faithful watcher for every one of the 8 seasons. This one is the best yet so far except for the year that Carrie Underwood won, that was my absolute favorite. Last night had me so nervous because all of the last 5 are so good. I was so sad when Adam was in the bottom 3, I could have cried and then they sent Chris to safety I could have cried even more. I really don't think the results show needs to be an hour long, too many commercials that drag that whole hour out and makes it feel like a 3 hour result show. I only stay up to watch it because I enjoy my mommy time to myself after the boys go to bed, that is the only time I have to myself and I love every minute of it! Anyways....back to AI, I really want Danny or Adam to win. Anyways...the other reality tv show I love is Dancing With the Stars. This is the first year I have actually watched. My mom got me hooked on it, and I won't miss a single episode. You all should watch if you never have, I didn't think it would be good, but it is great, I really enjoy it. I guess if I had a talent, it would be to be able to dance like that.

Easton's first giggly laugh out loud!

So, today Easton laughed outloud, really loud for the first time!! It was so cute I couldn't stop laughing. He actually started laughing at our neighbor friend Jon. Jon wasn't even trying to make him laugh, he obviously thought something was funny about Jon. Lee loved seeing his baby brother laugh, so he started doing all kinds of crazy things to make him laugh more. I remember when Lee first laughed and it was just as special and I couldn't stop laughing with him either. I gotta say, my boys are pretty darn cute, all 3 of them!Mommy and Easton relaxing after a busy day.

He is such a happy baby, isn't he beautiful!

Here he is rolling over, he has been rolling over for about 3 weeks now.

I had to hold him still here for this picture because he is always rolling.

Look at this face!

Look at those baby blues, just like daddy's.

E loves his swing

Lee took these pictures of daddy and Easton. Lee would rather take pictures than actually be in them.

I feel like I am constantly blogging and posting pictures, hope you don't get tired of them. I take a lot of pictures every day. I just can't stop. I absolutley love my little family and like to show them all off a little bit, okay maybe a lot a bit!!

4 days left in Virginia

Well, most of you know that Harley is in the Navy and we have lived in Virginia for almost four years now. This was his very first duty station, and we have loved it here. We have had made great friends and have many wonderful memories here. Now our time is up here and Harley got stationed in Guam, so far away!! The kids and I are going to Illinois this weekend to stay for a month and a half. This gives Harley time to get everything wrapped up here and finish all of the other things like help getting the house packed up. He will be in IL around June 1st. We will all fly out to Guam around the middle of June sometime. I am very nervous about this, first of all it is so far away and second of all we have to start all over like we had to here. The first thing I want to do is find a good church, that is always the second best family we will have. It is supposed to be beautiful there, just like paradise. I have heard all good things about Guam from many people. We will be there for 3 years, seems like a long time, but time has flown by here. I think that the boys will love being on the beach all the time. I am very sad to leave VA but excited for new things and opportunities that are coming our way. I will miss some of the very special friends I have made here, and you all know who you are. I love you all and you all will always have a special place in my heart. As for you in IL, watch out the Ragle boys are coming to town!! I am very excited to see all of you. I haven't been home in 15 months, that is a LONG time!! I feel like I am getting addicted to this blogging already, there is so much to talk about and I love posting pictures. Hope you don't get too tired of it.

Last weekend we went to Busch Gardens and had a blast. It was our last big outing in Virginia with some good friends of ours who we will miss dearly. They have a daughter Lee's age and they consider themselves girlfriend and boyfriend. Her name is Lauren and is cute as a button.

This picture is supposed to be like we are stomping grapes but of course there really weren't real grapes in there. Lee was soooo excited the whole day and didn't get too worn out believe it or not. We thought he would sleep the whole way home bue he talked instead. Here are some pictures of our exciting day. Sorry the pictures are on top because I can't figure out how to get them on the bottom. Still learning.
