Liz's snowman

Here is our neighbor's snowman with all the accouterments

King of the Tramp

Cadburry and Daisy enjoyed their perch on top of the tramp in the sun.

Its better to bark at everything when you are 3 feet higher.

Snow Day Schools out!

We woke up to sleet, snow and ice on Tue morning so the kids and Mike stayed home.

Brock and Grace had another sleepover on Tue night with Cadman and Daisy.

The tramp got covered in snow and ice and eventually caved in from the weight.

Sleepover

Grace had a friend sleep over on Sat night. MB made a yummy heart cake.

There were lots of Webkinz games and they stayed up late to watch Hanna Montana's movie.

Daisy slept in her friend's bed.

Can you dig it?

Sassy girl goes for a scooter ride

just try and catch me...

FM Team,

I would like to personally congratulate the officers who were selected for Air Staff assignments. I'm sure they will find their Air Staff tour to be challenging but rewarding. Individuals have not yet been locked into specific Air Staff positions and some positions may be determined just prior to arrival based on organizational need. We look forward to them joining the team.

Regards to all,

JHG

HON. JOHN H. GIBSON, II

Assistant Secretary of the Air Force

(Financial Management and Comptroller)

Aren't we cute?

Grace and Daisy snuggle in the chair with the warm woolly blanket

Say Ahhh

Grace likes to take self portraits...this is kind of a frightening shot of her dooley-bopper.

Promotion Party

MB & Lt Col select Vaughn threw a party at the club with all the other selects. There was plenty of food and drinks for everyone.

You get to put on oversized rank and tape it on your collar.

Mike and MB got up with the some of the FMers from 72 CPTS.

22" Rims

Which one is bigger...Grace V's long legs or the tricked out rims of a Chevy in the Walmart parking lot?

We bought this flower for our neighbor Stella and it was the first one to bloom.

Thunderdome Entertainment

There was OK flag waving guy with the pointy boots.

The Thunder girls danced and the baseline fans waved their baloons when there was free throws.

We had very good seats right in the corner.

Thunder Win

Our awesome friends Mr Chris and Ms Holly invited us to a OKC Thunder basketball game against the New York Nicks.

They actually won the game but it was close even though they were up by 20 points in the third quarter.

Brock was very excited with his squiggly balloon and souvenir cup.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year all! We were lazy all day and stayed in our jammies for movie and parade watching. Did you have your black eyed peas? Make sure you eat one for every year you are born. Even Daisy had her 3. We took the tic and terrier out for an evening stroll so we can say that we started off the new year with our healthy PT program.
