Happy New Year!

We went over to Darron & Ann's on New Years Eve and had a great time. We ate tons of food and played cards until about 11:30 p.m. Then we headed home and watched the ball drop on Dick Clark's Rockin Eve. We played the Wii after that and then hit the rack for some much needed shut eye.

On New Years Day, we went to see Adam Sandler's new movie, Bedtime Stories. I recommend it as it was pretty good and the kids loved it. After the movie we hung out at home and once again gave the Wii a really good workout. The picture to the left is a picture of one of the games Monte, Brady and Nathan bowled. Brady got 8 strikes in a row and wanted to take a picture of it for the blog. With that game, he made it to pro status and is quite proud of himself. I used to be the best (Wii) bowler in our family, but now Monte and Brady have surpassed me and I'm trying to figure out how that happened....ha ha. Then later that evening, Monte and I left the boys with the Wii and went to another movie on base. We saw the Transporter 3 and it was great! I love Jason Statham. He's one of my boyfriends, along with Daniel Craig....ha ha. But seriously, the movie was good. If you liked the other two Transporters, you'll like this one.

The rest of the weekend we pretty much just hung out. We tried going fishing on Friday, but it started clouding up and sprinkling. The mild rain was no big deal, but the wind picked up and it wasn't so much fun anymore. We were pretty bummed out too as it was the first time we've been to our secret fishing spot since we moved back. Nate was very insistent that he bait his own hooks this time, so we let him. The picture to the right is the result of his hard work. I don't think you can see it really well, but he's got a lure with three different rubber worms on it. He was so proud of it that I had to take a picture.

I'm really looking forward to tomorrow. The kids go back to school......yeah! It was great having them home the first few days, but then they began to get on each others nerves, started fighting, arguing and picking at each other and consequently, driving their mom up the proverbial wall. It will be so good to get back to our old routine again.

Monte heads out into the field on Thursday. He was off so much this month, that its going to be hard getting used to him being gone again. But, they have to continue training for deployment, so I just have to roll with it.

Well, its time for me to sign off and try to kick Monte's butt at bowling before we head off to bed. I pray that you all have a wonderful 2009. God Bless! :)
