HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Hope everyone had a great New Year! We are pretty boring...................we just ordered Papa Johns Pizza, put the kids to bed at 7:30pm, Nic fell asleep on the couch at 9:30pm and went to bed by 11pm. Isaac was the only one that made it past midnight!

There was not much to do so we took the girls to the park first thing New Years Day. Then we went to Target and got some Christmas Decorations for next year since it was all 75% off! Madelyn had a free pizza to Pizza Hut for reading last month so we took her there for lunch. That's it from us!!

The last of Sea World........

Sea World's last day open was the 31st of December, they will be closed until February 28th. So we thought it would be fun to take the girls one more time to see MuMu (Shamu). We even got Brynlee on the Shamu rollercoaster and she DID NOT like it (she is like her mom)! The weather was perfect~ 68 degrees, slight breeze, cold enough for pants but warm enough without a coat! We splurged and got a funnel cake, churros, and popcorn............Mmmm! See ya next year MuMu (Brynlee thinks he is taking a long nap)...........................

I could not even watch them spin on the tea ups~it made me sick! Oh yea........our camera is broken so these are taken with the phone-that is why they aren't that great, nor did we take very many :(

Ho....Ho.....Ho..........

I think Santa Clause came to our house this year........................

He brought daddy a new watch.............

New clothes, dressups and shoes for the girls.........

more shoes.............

New knifes, perfume, lotion, and clothes for mommy........

and even more stuff for us, like: horses, V-Tech game, cleaning caddy, candy...mmmmm!!

THANKYOU SANTA! Please come again next year. We will be good!

Ho Ho Ho........!

Merry Christmas!!

Christmas Dance

Madelyn had her Christmas Dance Recital yesterday. She did a really good job! All the girls were toy soldiers or dolls. She kept trying to smile the whole time without ruining her lipgloss. She is such a girl!

Afterwards we went to the River Walk, took a boat ride to see Christmas lights and learn about the history. It was a fun evening!
We hope everyone has a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

The Latest.........

We've ALL been waiting and wondering what is going on with Isaac and his career?
Well...............we are STILL waiting-I feel so helpless. I feel so hopeless at this point.

Today we found out that the waiver WILL NOT be approved. They would like to do another MRI follow up in 3 months. I PRAY with all my heart that things will clear up on it's own. I guess Texas is our home for a while, a long while.

Heavenly Father is looking out for us. I guess I may not fully understand what he has in store for us and our future? I am just grateful to have extra time to spend with my BEST FRIEND.

UPDATE

Don't get to excited................we STILL are not sure what is happening with Isaac.
Last week was the MRI
Today was the doctor visit to get results: the medial rectal muscle in his eye is STILL inflamed, BUT it's smaller so they think more time and it will be gone.
Since this week is THANKSGIVING week, a lot of people are out of the office, so there is NO chance the waiver will go through. So on to next week.............

His options: (if waiver gets approved)

*will get him a class in Phoenix as soon as possible
*will start class here in San Antonio next September
~The problem is that he may have to wait until 2010 to get into a class because they are behind. let's hope someone drops out so he can take their slot!
~he will still have to get another follow up MRI

If waiver does not get approved:

*he will have to go fly another aircraft-most likely a UAV
*get another job with the Airforce

On another note:

*Brynlee pooped in the potty and has peed her pants several times.
*Madelyn sings Mama Mia soundtrack ALL day and MOST nights. She is VERY loud and cute.
*Nic got ear infections in both ears after a spout of Bronchitis. All is well now......I HOPE

Hope EVERYONE has a really yummy and happy THANKSGIVING
