Don't hate me...I'll try and make it up to you

Where have I been you might ask? Well with 2 growing toddlers who keep me on my toes, my ministry as the Coordinator of MOTs, Women's Bible study & some health issues, you can figure that out for yourself.
Well it doesn't matter, because my blog is back, renamed "The Ocho" (a homage to Dodgeball & my husband's weird fascination with that movie). I will try, in the next few weeks, to fill you in on all the lastest happenings of this year...wow, can you believe it's May?

Anyway, to wet your appetite (I know my kids are cute, I'm not gonna lie) here are some pictures of our last few weeks.

Steve had to go out to a Air Force base near Las Vegas for a couple of weeks and for 4 wonderful days we joined him. Got a killer deal on a room (one of the perks of being in the military) and had a wonderful time, just being a mommy and not having to deal with cleaning and laundry and 2 animals vying for my attention.

2 of the cutest kids I know.

MGM has a killer pool, complete with lazy river and a nice reef area for the kids. We spent quite a bit of time out there.

Shark Reef Aquarium.

A great view made even grander by 2 cute kids.

In between the weeks Steve was gone, March ARB had their Air Show. So fun to bring the kids this year because last time we went we didn't even have Gideon and Esther was too young to throughly enjoy it. What an awesome, awesome day....plus always fun spending the day where daddy works.

Esther and Steve showing off the Predator. So funny that this is a picture of the drone that Steve works on now and in the background is the plane Steve used to work on.

Gideon checking things out.

We met up with Esther's BF Sydney and her brother, Riley. Man, did those kids enjoy those loud jets. Esther said those were her favorite.

A picture I should probably frame for my dad for Father's Day.

Capturing the moment of Steve's arrival home.

What can I say, post-bathtime is a crazy time.

A great Mother's Day picture of my grandma, my offspring and mysef.

Seriously one of the cutest pictures Steve has ever taken of Esther and her Nannie.

So I hope you can forgive me and keep me accountable on keeping my blog current. My kids are growing so fast and in the words of Steven Tyler "I don't wanna miss a thing."
