Weekly update

Wow so I am getting really bad about blogging but I have now set time in my calendar and in my week to write at least once.

We went to a real working Texas ranch this weekend and had a blast. Clayton got to see Zebra in the wild (well sort of in the wild), ride horses and go swimming in a creek. All first for him it was so cool to have the opportunity to experience those things. I will add pictures once I get some. I was so wrapped up in having fun with him I forgot to take any but luckily there were some friends who did.

This week has been pretty busy. Since the division Jason is assigned to is moving to Fort Carson, CO there are a lot of people moving to different locations and moving with the unit. Basically when large groups of people move around like that there are a ton of farewell parties and events. Between Jason and I it seems we have invitations every other day! So Clayton has been passed around quite often lately.

Let's see what is he doing now....eating all "table food", he has been bottle free for a month, he can climb on the couch, he is crazy about this bear/blanket that goes everywhere!, he went to his first concert (Gary Sinise and the Lt. Dan Band), and he is cutting his back molar!

We bought him a new bear so now there are two exactly the same. I had this fear that the movers would pack up his and then he would have to move without it. I wasn't prepared to deal with that so I bought a back up.

Tomorrow we start swim lessons...I am so excited! The next post will have pictures and if I stick with my plan there will be updates much more often!

Long month

Ok a little summary since the last time I wrote.

1. Mother's day was great. We went to the park and had a nice quiet picnic. Pictures with be posted soon I hope.

2. Jason is working on this crazy LSAT class and will be taking the LSAT on June 8th. There is a program through the Army (FLEP) that will pay for him to go to law school with an additional 4 year commitment (I think). So he will be a lawyer in the Army. He takes this class 3 hours a night and takes all the computer time away from me!

3. Clayton has an ear infection that will not go away! he has had it for a month and is on round 2 of meds. If it is not cleared up by next Tuesday we may be going to an ENT and discussing tubes.


So this is where I have been! Oh but good news....Jason is being promoted to Captain in June...YAY!!!!!
