Jacobs first time swimming

Unofficially, we're moving in October - end of. :o)

???

Ok, I need to update already. I have no CLUE when I get to move. We were told that Blake wouldn't start Engineering school for 7 months but then he got an email that stated he has BOLC II (more training) in Georgia from mid-Aug to end of Oct and THEN he goes to Missouri the VERY NEXT WEEK! Sooooo.......everything is up in the air again. :*o(

Well, do I need to update!

I didn't believe my father in law when he told me it had been a month since my last post. But . . . oops! I made it back from New Hampshire and a week later went back East (again) to see my hubby! He had Memorial Day weekend off and so I got to spend a week in Georgia and see him (almost) every day.

We went shopping at the commissary and this is the first time that Jacob has ridden in a shopping cart like this. He was OK for a minute and then wanted OUT!!

On Tuesday, I took Jacob to the doctor for a well baby visit. At (almost) 7 months he's 29 inches long and weighs 23 lbs 7 oz. Is it bad when the doctor mentions "Jacob" and "Jenny Craig" in the same sentence? (LOL)

Today, Blake called me and told me that he is going to be an Engineer in the Army. He will be going to Missouri for training and I will probably go with him because the school won't start for months so that West Point and ROTC grads can go too. It will be exciting! Church history sites are somewhat close so we'll be able to go visit. Neither one of us have ever been before so it'll be an experience. We won't know for sure what's going on for another month or so until Blake gets official orders but we're thinking I might be able to move right after OCS in July. If that happens I'll be so excited! OK, maybe more like ecstatic! :o)

Updating my life . . .

There's been a ton of stuff to happen in the last little while. I'll post a whole bunch of stuff to get us up to date . . .

First thing . . . Leo Carrillo!! Melissa's husband, Zion, came with us for part of the time and then had to go home. Blake was in Basic Training, Matt was on a mission, so the whole family wasn't there but it was still a blast. There were a few firsts for everyone as well as things that happen almost every year.

The three babies from left to right . . . Jacob (5 mos), Melissa's daughter Brooklyn (or Tia) (5 mos), and Heidi's daughter Afton (6 mos). (Is it just me or does Jacob seem like the oldest and NOT the youngest?? Tee-hee!)

We always go with the Green family and it always seems to rain at least once while we're there. This year was no different.

The (almost) Family
Picture

Blake graduated from Basic Training and we went to South Carolina to see him. I was allowed to drive him to Georgia for Officer Candidate School so we were able to spend a few days together before he had to report. He'll be in OCS until July 16.

Jacob's first time in an airport. He did pretty well!

Blake's in the very back row, second in from the right. You can see his beret sticking up.

"Where's my family?" He hadn't seen us yet.

One of the newest Soldiers for the US Army!! And Jacob :o)

Jacob and I didn't go home after dropping Blake off at OCS. We went to New Hampshire for two weeks to visit my sister and her family. That trip will come later.
