My mom being up close with the camera.
This was Ashley's best friend in Boot Camp her name is Bourbon.
Look at my sister, we are so proud of her!
It was so nice being able to be there for her graduation. Everyone did a great job at staying in formation!
After the graduation. When John saw her he gave her a big hug and picked her up off the ground. It was a sweet moment!
Ashley is free at last!
At Buckhead looking all nice in her blues!
We are here!
She looks so sexy and bad ass. Now nobody can mess with her.
This is the Marine's creed, This was an awesome thing to read,
The Marine Emblem.
Ooray! Ashley thank you so much for letting us all come to your graduation and bring you home! It was a nice vacation! I'm so proud of you and love you very much!

We are all so happy for Ashley!
This pic is so cute! My mom has missed Ashley so much and it was nice to go around her squad bay and see where she slept and where it all began.
My siblings, dad and I in the squad bay.
She was so happy to eat real American food! She was so happy that she made it and became a Marine!
Talking to pappaw. This is a great picture!
Mom taking a lot of pics of her on the phone but this one is cute!

She looks so good!
Her platoon is the last one. So proud!
I don't know what the circle is and where it came from but it makes for a great picture!
This was the schedule that was going on of all the activities that were available for the day. Ashley is home til April 12th. She has recruiter's assistance and will be working in the recruiters office. So glad that she has that time off!

Happy March!

Happy March! I can't believe that its March. I'm so looking forward to March. My family and I leave on March 9th for SC to go see my sister Ashley graduate from Marines Boot Camp. We can't wait to see her! We will be home on the 14th. I have missed her. I will take pics and post them on my blog asap.

My Valentine's Day!

My husband is so great! He got me this bear that he got at Ramstein AFB, Germany and I love it! I sleep with him every night.
The beautiful card that I got from my Valentine! Thank you baby! I love you!


This is my favorite one!

I have had a great Valentines day! I wish that my husband was here with me to share it but we will celebrate next year and i can't wait!

Pictures I found from a month ago

My oldest brother John is a trip. I really do think that he should be a male model because he has some silly poses.
My brother Larry and his daughter Allie! What a beautiful baby she is! She is a darlin!
My two nieces playing with each other. They love each other!
Allie looks so much like her dad! You can definitely tell that Allie is his daughter!
Allie, I love you so much and I love being with you when you are here!

Superbowl 2011

My aunt Carol (my mom's best friend) and her husband Ron came over to our Superbowl party. It was a lot of fun! As you can see in my hand, she brought my favorite, chocolate with cherry in the middle. Right after I took this picture, the cherry went all over my hand but its cool because I washed it off.
Having a great time at the party!
Playing Up And Down. It was really fun! I was the winner!
Getting ready for the par-tay!
My husband is from Liverpool, PA and so I was rooting for the Steelers because he was and plus I don't know much about the Packers. But I really didn't care who won because to me its just a game.
I couldn't find a Steelers hat so I had to use one of the hats that I had here at the house. The only one that I could find was my Air Force Lackland, AFB, TX hat that I bought in San Antonio when Ben was graduating from Basic. I think I look sporty don't you think?
I don't know why I'm making this silly expression but I was being funny while eating my chocolate at the same time.
The fix ins for the party!
Getting ready to play cards.


Go Air Force!

My mom's famous Chilli! It was delish!
My dad smiling because his team, the Packers won.


Had a great time and I loved everything about the Superbowl! Thanks to all those who came!
