Bald with a BANG!

There's no denying my husband is a very handsome guy. (if you disagree, get off my blog..now.) So, when I asked for pictures of him lately--you can imagine my smile turned upside down when he sent me these beauties....apparently, the whole squadron shaved their heads--fantastic ideas boys!


this was one of the first few days..halfway done...??
and here is the full monty---he's still pretty cute to me. even with that giant gash in his forehead.
he smacked his head on a hornet stabilizer (you know what that is, right? yeah, neither do i) and the mustache is always my favorite thing about deployment. ugh.
bald, gash on forehead and creepy mustache...i still love ya babe!

Top Papa's 90th!

This past Sunday we celebrated Garrett's Grandfather's 90th birthday! He is an amazing man who is loved by so many people. There were over 100 guests at the party! My kids call him Top Papa (because they have a Papa already), and he is just as lively and fun with them as I'm sure he was with Garrett. My sister in law, Kelly, is due very soon and will be having his 20th great grandchild! Needless to say, I can only hope that Garrett got some of those awesome genes!
Happy Birthday Top Papa!

Adjustments...

With the start of deployment came some BIG changes and adjustments in our lives. We moved out of our house in California and back to the Midwest! The kids and I will be flip flopping between Garrett's parents house and mine. With almost a month under our belt, we're getting settled and really enjoying being around family.
