12 months...

A year ago Savannah was on the B team for her middle school tennis team.  She was cool with that, but had aspirations for A Team.  This  year she is on the A Team, and her cute tennis skirt is too short and has been banned.  Personal growth.


 Last year I figured out my camera doesn't do well taking pictures of people on stage.  This is the best I got folks.
Last year Chris attended the commissioning ceremony of "his" cadets from BYU-Idaho.  This year, he is finishing up his time at Boise State University and is going to be commissioning.  In 15 days.  But who's counting.
Last year we were working on getting our family a little more fit and active....this year...still working on that.

This time last year we drove to Driggs, because the Army decided Chris couldn't drill with the National Guard Unit he was serving in, and we went to turn in his stuff.  That was hard.

But a cadet in their unit and holding up a E-6 slot makes him...well, how do I put this nicely?
About as useful as a football bat.


 So he cleaned out his locker.  And it was kind of weird.   Well a lot weird.  Maybe we should have kept the piece of tape that read "Old Man" to remember how much he was loved in the 937th?  Maybe it would just end up on the bottom of his boots and I would have to clean it up.
SSG "Skip" Thomas with the dh.
SPC Jeb Baker on the fence about something...har har (eye roll)

SSG Rob Parsons (retired last month)...Chris misses those guys.  I even miss those guys.  Firefighters are cool!
Maybe just because they toys are so much fun for my kids to play on...

What will this year bring? 
THAT is going to be a lonnnnng story I think...
