Promotion


Dusty was meritoriously promoted to Staff Sergeant on July 2, 2009! He worked very hard to achieve this promotion and he certainly deserves it!

Baby Shower


It's still hard to believe I'm having a baby boy! On June 27, 2009, my friend Melissa hosted a baby shower in my honor. It was a great time filled with games, food, and gifts. I am so blessed to have such amazing friends and family.

A Trip to the Fire Station


Our meetup.com group planned a trip to the local fire station. The kids watched a video about water safety and took a tour of the shiny, red fire trucks! It was perfect timing to discuss water safely because swimming lessons are right around the corner!

Family Day for RSS Tempe

So far Recruiting duty has not been the most family friendly duty in the Marine Corps. I was pleased when Dusty's new boss planned a family day at the park. It was great to meet the other families. Plus, it's always nice to spend time with Dusty. He works so many hours that we hardly see him before dark on weekdays.

Camping






At the end of April we went camping at Roosevelt Lake. It was so nice to be away from the T.V. and telephone. The girls enjoyed riding on the boat with grandpa and playing in the water. One of grandpa's friend brought a hose and a mule for the girls to ride. What a wonderful weekend!
