It Was Nice While It Lasted

The weather has done a 180. We have been enjoying the nice cold air, the overcast sky, the windchill factor of 59. But today the sun is out. I really dislike the warm weather.

Well other than me complaining about the weather, nothing to much is going on. This past Saturday we went to our friends house and from there headed over to a Halloween party. We were there for a grand total of 30 minutes. With the FL-GA game we didn't leave til like 7, the party was practically over, since it was for kids. We missed the entry for the costume contest, the games, missed all the food. Well it wasn't that disappointing for me and ash as we were able to throw little mans costume on and off easily. Our friend however had to get his kids dressed, put there makeup on, but the worst, disappointed that the gators lost to those dogs. Although they were do for a win against fl.

I have to download the pictures but i will either post pics of little man in his costume later today or 2morrow. We are fixing to head over to the park, he loves the slide. So for now, i leave you. Have a nice day.

Another Average Day.

Well it is just another average day, just sitting here in the library. Yes i go to librarys. The weather has gotten more to my liking. It has been down to the high 50s at night and low 70s for the day. It rained a little today but it just makes my day better. The cooler temp seems to relax me. It also allows little man to play outside more without sweating. I like taking him out and go walking with him. He does so well that i swear if you turn your head for more than a second, he will be down the driveway stepping onto the street. We are excited about halloween, being little man will be dressed up and hopefully get his pops some candy. :) Well nothing really spectacular to say. I am going to go look for a book now. So latr.

well here is the pics i said i was going to put

our tents and site-

Carlee and Christian-
again-Carol and Lee-
Me and Ashley

Camping, Tried to Atleast!!

We had planned on camping for atleast 3 weeks. Tried going one weekend but turned out we couldnt. So we decided on the next weekend and WE MADE IT HAPPEN. Thurs morning we had all our stuff ready, we were just waiting on our friends to come pick us up. Carol an old friend of my wife, her husband Lee, and there baby girl Carlee. Well we get a call and they say there suv wont start, well thats nice! So we pack our stuff up into the van and head over there, things are running through my head, wondering what it is, i was thinking it would either be the battery, starter or alternator. Keep in mind i am not a mechanic. But we get to there house and i try starting it. Well the door buzzer works, lights work, i figured, ok not the batt. It trys to turn over but it dont, made wierd noise, so i figured it was the starter. Try jumping it to make sure but after 5-10 minutes it still wasnt. To shorten this, we had the cables on wrong, they didnt make a good connection. It was the battery. So after an hour and a new battery we were on our way to camp in Camp Blanding. 35 minutes of driving and we are there. Well turns out they changed there policy, couldnt tell me on the phone when i called a day prior! They dont allow dependents (me) to bring civilians on base anymore, not even for the campground. Well pardon my language, but why the hell cant i get 3 people on when there are about 100 or more boyscouts on the grounds. I was pissed, so we drove to a local gas station and planned our next move. We decided on folkston, a place Lee has been. Of course it is now like a 1hr45min drive or more north into georgia. So we are going to camp, no stopping us. We head north and we turn around and turn around again. Pretty much doing circles because carol is on the phone with her mom finding diff. tent sites to go that are closer, but they werent tent sites, they were pop ups and campers only. We stick to going to folkston but we turn once again, we instead head west to Ocean Ponds, a camping place on a huge lake that many hunters use, for it is a National Forest. We finally get there. We set up all our tents, get stuff situated, then BAM. Here comes the rain. I am able to start cooking when the rain left at like 0 dark thirty. We eat at like 0 dark forty five. Tried getting a fire but thats a negative, everything is soaked, no dry wood.

Next day was better, the 2 kids got to play in the water, us adults got some fishing in, Carol, Ashley and the kids went to walmart to meet Carols mom with some DRY wood, and pick some things up. Mean time me and lee got some more fishing in, but got interupted by a massive wall of rain. Other than all that everything else was pretty peachy, Well except the major amout of water that leaked into both our tents! I have pictures but i am having a problem uploading them, i will try and post them latr today or 2morow.

If this trip sounds fun, lets see if we can do a canoe/camp trip next year, that should be fun!!!

Is Bond Dead or Will He Live On?

To start off i would like to wish Roger Moore a happy 80th birthday today. http://commanderbond.net/article/2555 He is one of my favorite bond actors, Sean Connery of course is first, followed by Mr. Moore and thirdly Pierce Brosnan. But to my tittle now, is he dead or will he live on. I didn't really appreciate Casino Royale as a Bond film. As a regular movie it was good. But as a Bond film, no, it didn't have that bond feeling in it. And there are many out there who agree with me. Who feel maybe bond is about to be history. I am a big fan and i really would like to see more bond films coming out, i am all for new actors, but blonde is not Bond!!
Visit this link http://commanderbond.net/ to find out more about the past present and future of Bond, James Bond. The fact that they are scrapping what they have already written for bond 22 and now i am curious, will they ever make another bond film as good as they used to be???

Costume+Cute Little Man=Candy for Daddy:)

Well me and little man just got back from our little father son walk this morning, i am starting to take him for a walk down our street and back, helps build his leg muscles and gets him more used to walking on his own. A friend of ours actually came through and bought him his first Halloween costume. She wanted to do it and frankly we didnt think she would. She just bought a house with her boyfriend and both me and Ash feel like that was a BIG mistake. He says he doesnt want to get married yet because she is in school, and he wants to go to school, but that it would be to stressfull. There isnt anything stressfull about being engaged for a year or more now is there? I dont know, i was engaged for just a month or so.

But aside from that and back to my original reason for writing. She got him a cute little costume, i dont want to say what it is, you have to wait til halloween to see the pics. hahaha. Its only like 17 days away.

Well..........

So once again i was in the hotel room, and could not sleep. Didn't feel my boy role over and soccer kick me to make sure i am still breathing every hour. lol. But i got maybe 3 hours of sleep. On top of that he has just gotten over a cold which i have now gotten.
But to the point, i got all my paper work straight, which would mean only one thing, talk to my classifier for jobs, then sign. Well it is on hold once again, because i am married with a child, i have to have waivers for my traffic tickets and school. If i was single with no kids they wouldn't be as big an issue. So i have to go the headquarters nearby and talk to the CO (commanding officer), and get my waivers signed.
So hopefully i can have some good news about all this crap by the end of the month.

MEPS Take 2

Well tonight i am in the hotel again, will be going to meps tomorrow. Another long day ahead of me. Hopefully tomorrow i get some good news about the rate i want to go in and what kind of a bonus i can expect. My only concern is doing the physical again, it drags out the whole day. Having to do it a second time would suck. Well be sure to check back to find out what is going on next.

4 Shots + Crying = Lolli pop

Well, Tuesday morning was very interesting. We had to take Christian to the doctor to get his 12 month shots. We were the only people there, so we didn't have to wait very long.

They did a basic check-up....weight, height, eyes, ears, etc.....and then we waited for the nurse to prepare the shots.

When she was ready, we held him down and she stuck him.

Well needless to say, his deafening screams could be heard from the parking lot. He was twisting and turning, and trying to pull his legs free. The nurse put bandaids on his legs and handed him a lolli pop.

He grabed it, the tears stopped and out came a smile from ear to ear. The drewl pourded out of his mouth and all down my leg.

On the way home that lolli pop never left his mouth.

Lean Mean Diaper Throwing Away Machine

Its official, yesterday oct. 4 was little mans 1st birthday. He is now 1 year and 1 day old. Today he has learned how to throw away his dirty diapers. We change him and hand him the diaper, tell him to throw it in the garbage, and he sits up and walks into the kitchen and throws it away. He even tries saying it, he has the bage part down, of course it sounds alot like that bad word, b!?ch. But he seems to be learning very well. It may be a little early but we are going to try anyway, teaching him flashcard style. I mean it couldnt hurt.

But in other news i will be going back to meps sometime next week, probably like tues. That should be alot a fun again!

1st Birthday Party

September 29, 2007, That was our little mans first birthday party. It was alot of fun and turned out better than we had thought it would. This little guy knew it was coming too, he woke up in the morning nice and early, and was happy as can be. You know he knew what today was. We get to our friends house which is where we were having it, and he starts to smile and laugh because he sees the other kids, our friends kids, riding around on the 4-wheelers. This kid loves those things. I took him for a ride and he was laughing, he got mad at me when i turned it off.

So sometime after running those things for ever it seemed, we headed inside to open presents. He sat down with all these boxes around him and momma helped him open them. Well she opened some clothes but then made the mistake of letting him have a toy next. Its like the toys need to be opened all at once and last. He didnt want anything else, he wanted his little piano thing.

And of course you cant forget the cake! The pictures say it all!

Ok. Now to finish, this is really cute. We gave him a bath, dressed him, the kids played with him, and then we all went out to do some more four wheelin. He had just gotten on my lap, I took off and i mean i had only gotten 20 feet around the corner and he went back. He fell asleep
