John's Valentine Party

I went in for John's Valentine party at school. I was too busy scooping ice cream for sundaes to take many pictures but I did manage to snap off a few.

Predators Hockey

We went to the Nashville Predators' game two weeks ago. We had so much fun!!

John and Gnash, super bummed it was blurry but Gnash was walking off so we were rushed to try to take a picture.

Clara found a stuffed Gnash to get her picture with.

The crew playing air hockey

John on the kids' play rink.

Gnash coming down from the roof was a highlight.

It is hockey so we have to have a little fight going on.

Clara with her pretzel.

New Year's Reception

For being in the Army for almost seven years of active time now, we spent the first six without any reasons to get dressed up. Since Burt got back from Afghanistan we have certainly made up for that. We had a New Year's reception at our new brigade commander's house in mid-January.

Reading Counts

John has been working hard all year to get his Reading Counts shirt. You have to have 50 points worth of passed RC tests to get it. I think that it is a little hard when most of the books you test on are 1 point books. He was the 2nd in his class to get it and he was so proud. We were so proud of him too!

Last Day on the Ship

We went to an ice show and it was really good.

My desserts, sad to leave all this good food!!

They told the wait staff it was Mary's birthday so they came and sang Happy Birthday to her. Picture with Kung Fu Panda for John.

Ice Sculpture

Loved all the fruit displays
