Grandkids are GREAT!!

While Brittany has been visiting with Steve in North Carolina, we have had the chance to keep Ian here and it has been lots of fun. As you can see by the pictures, he has a lot of character. He loves being Batman (Jax -the dog- is Robin) and has spent lots of time in his costume. Uncle Kevin even tried on the mask. Ian has decided that he like the Darth Vader mask even better than the batman mask so it makes it pretty interesting. Today he told me that Santa wasn't going to bring me any presents for Christmas because I wouldn't let him go out and play in the snow. I guess I better get better between now and Christmas. We have had lots of fun with him and are so excited to get Steve home to spend time with him too.

He's back in the USA!!!

Steve called this morning to say he is on American soil and safe and sound. They were still on base so we only talked for a minute. Brittany got there yesterday morning (Saturday) and checked right into her hotel and then got a call from the family of Steve's roomate for the last 15 months. They invited her to dinner and then came to get her this morning to take her on base. It was really neat and made it a lot nicer for her. Steve finally admitted to her that even though he had said he was fine hooking up with her later, he was REALLY glad she was going to be at the hangar when they arrived.

He will be at Fort Bragg for a week or so and then back to Germany to check in with his home unit and should arrive here in Utah sometime the first of December. We will keep you all updated. YEAHHHH!!!!

Beauty School Dropout

Ali had to dress up for work on Halloween so she thought and thought and finally remembered the movie Grease. She decided that the Beauty School Dropout was very appropriate for working in a beauty salon. She was surprised that many of her friends didn't get it but all her teachers and her boss thought it was perfect!! She looks good as a pink-head!!!
