My Tribute To You Gentleman

And GentleWomen too I guess.....I have long since been proud of all the things that my husband has accomplished and does accomplish now, whether it be putting up a pot rack in our kitchen, or making shelves for a bookcase...but nothing makes me prouder to have him than the fact that he is in the military. I know there are "haters" out there not thinking the military serves a purpose other than to blow up countries that we had no business being in in the first place...but hey this post isn't for them now is it?? Anyway, I felt kinda sad that there weren't any basewide festivities so to say going on for Memorial Day yesterday (there were of course in Arlington/DC) but well little ol' peons such as ourselves can't get anywhere near there when the big Mr. Obama comes out...so we took our $.99 flags from Michaels and found the base cemetery and planted some flags on the graves of these brave men and women that sometimes seems like time has forgotten, but we haven't and I plan on making this a family tradition every year, yes even if in Korea....think Korean War Memorial...aha!! Anyway, I hope the kids got something out of it but I know I sure did knowing that somewhere above there are some spirits hopefully smiling that one little family down here on earth has not forgotten them or their ultimate sacrifice so that I can live in this land of freedoms!! ;) Thanks alot Guys and Gals!!

A few weekends ago we traveled up to VA to visit with Chris's family and to celebrate his sister's graduation from college and let's schmooze the college graduate smuckity smuck!! And this is where she chose to go...huge botanical garden with a huge house on it....that's about all I know but it was nice until Kyle was looking a little too close at the Koi pond and fell in!! Oh yes...FELL IN and was floundering just like one of the fish....wasn't very deep though so don't get your drawers all up in a wad that I wasn't worried more than I was about him. He sure didn't like being all wet though and so I thought it would be a very mean momma thing to do to take a picture so no funny hahas at my baby's expense!! ;)
