Partial Blog!

I know, it's been a long time, and Ira asked me to update it, so here is a partial post from the last 5 1/2 months of our crazy busy life! Ira is now at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri this is what Ira has been up to: He left for MCT- Marine Combat Training, he left on Aug 23, 2011, and graduatED on Sept. 20th, 2011, he went straight from MCT to his MOS school (job school basically). It was a  LONG 3 1/2 months, and I cannot wait for the next 3 or 4 months to finally be over, so we can be together as a family again, and actually live in the same house. I moved to Missouri to be with him, and to live off base, and see him after work, and possibly on some weekends. Well come to find out, they are making me move back to AZ next week. They don't want any of the students to have any distractions while he is going through his schooling here in MO, so they are letting him have Friday off, and take the weekend to drive me home. I have never loved and missed someone more in my whole entire life. I'm so proud of his accomplishments, and not gonna lie, he is super sexy! He lost 30 lbs in boot camp, and did the same stuff at MCT, but even more hardcore then what he did in bootcamp.So he is super sexy! ;-) I LOVE YOU IRA! P.S. Being a marine wife has definately been hard, but there are benefits.... like his uniforms!

 First swim of the summer with Aunt Mariah and Uncle Taylor at their apartment complex! (First week after Ira left for boot camp appx. May 20 something)

 Went to Las Vegas to go help Brad & Rachelle out when they had baby Sophia, went bowling with the family the day we left, lots of fun!

 Savannah, such a cutie!

 Mom & Hendrix, he was in such a bad mood at this point! lol, really tired!

My favorite pic ever! lol, so sad, but yet so cute!

I'm so bad for taking pics at church, but look how cute he is.... come on? lol

 I LOVE those cheeks!

The flowers Ira bought me before he even left for boot camp for my birthday! Almost a month in advance! I'm the luckiest girl in the world to have found Mr. Perfect!

 He is so proud of his mess!

He had this tortilla on the tip of his nose for like 30 mins, it was so funny!

Hendrix got a little dirty, so we wanted to do a quick bath, I love his hair in these 2 pics!

I love this pic, my dad just LOVES Hendrix, and thinks he's the funniest kid. They have a lot of fun together. Hendrix will have fun bugging him again in the morning asking for more yogurt pretzels.

Freaking cute Tyden being so cute, I love this pic, I caught it just at the right moment, just a cute kid!
