Conversation with my Son

We were walking through the mall today looking for tennis shoes...
Our conversation goes a little like this:

Jax: "Can I get earrings like you and Macie, Mommy?"

Me: "No Buddy, earrings are just for girls."

Jax:"Ok."

We walk into the shoe store browse around and a man comes and asks if we need any help....

Jax: "Excuse me man, earrings are for girls. My Mommy just told me I can't have some. How come you do? Did your Mommy not tell you they are for girls?"

Me: " Umm...Sorry, kids...ha ha?!"

And we quickly hurried out of the store.........

Gotta love 4 year olds!

Sheppard AFB

Well, it is official.....we are outta Abilene!!! I think I am a mix of sad, excited and impatient!! I will dearly miss all of the wonderful friends we have made in the last 5 years here in Abilene. So many of us have kiddos the same age and we have watched each others' grow up so far. I know we will keep in touch and make visits, but it is still kinda sad! I am super excited for Noah. This will be an awesome opportunity for him. He will be a B-1 instructor. Plus, the best part is he can't deploy!!! That is such a huge relief! Noah is leaving tomorrow and heading to Wichita Falls, he starts work on Monday. We sold our house here but don't close until the end of September. So, the kids and I will hang out and see Daddy on the weekends. What's the reason for the impatience.....we bought a new house up there and don't close on it until the first of October!!!! I am super excited and can't wait to start decorating and making it our home! More on the new house to come....
