MIA

I'm not going to write much here because I have a TON of pictures to put on here for you since it's been almost 2 weeks since I've done that. We had company and we were out and about every day, so I've got good reason for being gone, but now I'm trying to play catch up!

October 11 - We took lunch to Lane because he was on duty and most of the bast was closed down for the upcoming air show. I was so excited to see the planes practicing for the weekend 

October 11 - The nights that Daddy works late or doesn't come home Eden gets more freedoms before bed time. I let more things slide and this night she got to color longer and I loved soaking up the creativity of my budding artist. She's loving her chalk board in her room that Pop made last year.

October 12 - Imagine this done...because it's nowhere close! This is the state of my bathroom. The only function we don't have in our bathroom is the use of a sink, everything else works {it just isn't pretty...at all}

October 13 - Lane's cousin, Jacob is in Yuma for a few weeks and he was able to come over to San Diego with someone who came for a funeral. It was great to see him, and even better because Lane hasn't seen him since he completed boot camp and I hadn't seen him since their grandmother passed away last September.

October 13 - Kind of blurry because of the amount of zoon, but it's the C-130 with some jets. We saw this formation flying over the interstate when we were driving home from lunch with Jacob.

October 13 - My first long distance run to prepare me for my marathon in January. I'm not going to say it was easy, and I'm not going to say that it was all that much fun, but I did it and that's what counts!

October 13 - Lane in the hot tub. That's one handsome hubby I have!!!

October 14 - Eden loved Jacob! This is at the air show in the back of the C-130. It was funny to see how comfortable Eden was with the plane. She acted like it was her very own playground.

October 15 - Pictures to go in Hunter's room. Hunter, Pop, and Parker, all in their Navy uniforms.

October 16 - Eden eating lunch. What a pretty little girl she's becoming!

October 17 - Hunter standing at the fireplace. He's officially pulling himself up on everything.

October 18 - Coen and Eden sitting poolside at a play date. Only in SoCal can you have a pool play date in the middle of October!

October 19 - Hunter pulled himself up using the trash can {I told you he's pulling up on everything!} and it fell over on him. I had just thrown away some melted white chocolate and that's what's on his arm and face. I couldn't resist the picture. Look at that sad, sad face!

October 19 - Ugh, what a mess! Thanks Hunter...

October 19 - Eden playing the drums with the sticks she found.

October 20 - Eden wanted me to take a picture of her and her baby.

October 20 - Eden uses my phone to trace letters. I think I'm going to break down and purchase the full app so she can trace the whole alphabet. She can also match big letters to small letters and find a certain letter within a group of letters. I think it's a pretty fabulous app so far!

October 20 - My shoes for the upcoming Marine Corps Birthday Ball

October 20 Hunter's 3 tiny teeth.

October 20 - Eden and Daddy asleep one night. It was a week of late nights for Lane and Eden rubbed his face until he fell asleep, then she snuggled right in and went to sleep too. They melt my heart!

October 21 - The dogs are chewing on the hot tub cover again. I'm pretty mad about this...

October 21 - Hunter giving Nugget kisses.

Ocober 21 - Hunter makes a mess {just like his sister did} with avocados.

October 22 - We took Adam, Sara, and Leah to see Lane's plane. Leah wasn't too sure about sitting in the cockpit of the plane.

October 22 - Eden wanted to fly the plane.

October 23 - Our back yard looked like a bird watcher's paradise. This bird was on our basil plant right under the kitchen window when I was cooking dinner.

October 23 - Eden, Leah, and Hunter in the bath tub together.

October 24 - Hunter at the Automotive Museum in Balboa Park.

October 25 -  I hardly ever have people in town and done make it to the tidepools. I love them, I think they're beautiful, and I don't think I will ever get tired of how awesome they are.

October 26 - Leah and Hunter in their jammies together as Sara and Adam packed the car and the rest of their stuff in preparation to head to the airport.

October 26 - Eden had to go potty and she tried to go outside. When I realized what she was saying this is what she looked like, so I made her come in to use the bathroom...like people do.

October 27 - My knees have been bothering me after my long runs, so I have been icing them when I get home. I think Hunter might like the feel of the cold on his gums because he "chews" on the ice pack.

October 28 - I was "voluntold" by the squadron's CO's wife that I was in charge of the Christmas ornament to hang on the Officer's Club Christmas tree. These are what I came up with. The Keep Calm and Fly On ornament is for the O'Club, and the one on the left is for us at home. I'm pretty excited about them. I think they turned out really well.
