pics from the weekend

Daddy came home last weekend for his last four day....we went out to the zoo durn the day than me and him had a special date night with no kids, than sunday we had a family lunch with the hamiltons and family dinner with Jasmines godparents and Grandma Hitchcock...

first day of preschool

Today the twins went back to school, it will be their first full year of preschool....They seemed to do okay

Crystal enjoyed playing on the new trampoline and painting....she did use the potty at school, we are still working on potty training...she has learned to put her shoes on by herself

Courtney also enjoyed the new trampoline in the gym, plus she got to have a special treat at snack, chocolate milk...she seemed to love it but than they dont get it at home...she also can put her own shoes on and has learned some new words such as baby

Jasmine is taking more steps on her own, wont be long now....Me and her just got back from seeing daddy in Texas, they had some great bonding time together...they really havent had the time to form that bond yet

James will be leaving sometime in Oct....but good news is he will only be gone 9 months now, so not as long as we thought...

Two big first

Courtney is almost potty trained...depending on her mood and who the nurse is she will go use the potty chair....wont be long till she is fully there....she has learned the word no, and loves to use it...

Crystal wants nothing to do with being potty trained...she is learning some new words, and is actually starting to talk at speech therapy, her favorite word is no too

Jasmine is almost walking, she can get pretty far than lunges forward right to the floor...she can go to standing in the middle of the room now, without holding on to anything

We are still getting our new place together, but it wont be completely done till we get the rest of our stuff up from texas...

A quick update

Well me and the kids moved into a place of our own...a two bedroom plus den...we love it

Daddy was home for about two weeks and it was a blast having daddy home for a little bit, he got to help us move into our new place....we also did have Jasmines one year birthday party, it was fun to be with friends and family

We got some bad news last week...Grandpa Hamilton passed away..he was a great great grandpa to the kids...he will be missed...

We are back to being on our own, we have no interent till daddy deploys in about a month so I will only be able to update once a week

Happy 1st Birthday

Jasmine turned one today....she is now a toddler...

We went out to eat for dinner and it was great....I weighed her here at home and she is 21lbs 4ozs, so she gained about 13lbs in a year, not bad at all

I am also proud to say I am now nursing a toddler, we made it a whole year and plan on keep going till she is ready to wean
