still nothing new..

ok first off, we'd like to welcome home Ben!! after six months in the desert he's home!! Merritt is thrilled to say the least. we celebrated our first "hangin out" by doing something Cory swore he'd never do...guitar hero....look i have pictures to prove it..

i don't think he knew it included drums other wise he probably would have played sooner..

so the girls got some new outfits, nikoys favorite is BY FAR, her valentines outfit.. it makes her look so much older then four..... its so not fair... *sniff*...my baby's getting too big..

unfortunately they had NOTHING for any girls between he ages of 18months to 3t...... so Kaylee didn't get a valentine outfit this year, but they did have an outfit that reminded me of something out of the 80's i HAD to get, when she actually puts it on i'll post some pics, ( i dont think Cory likes it..but he gets to cope..:)) anywho, we spent most of the actual valentines day in our Jammie's..

torturing the poor kitty.

Cory had to go to "work" to do a "quick inspection," and he ended up coming home with a HUGE "lumpy" (Winnie the pooh hefalump) for a Kaylee, and a HUGE tiger for nikoy and a little tiger for me!! but i also got a new fox key chain and plushie magnet!! so it was fantastic! i have a huge plushie tiger i've had since my junior year of high school, (his name is Bacardi..) and now i have Bacardi the huge tiger, and Smirnoff the little tiger..:) don't ask... i got Cory a new superman blanket ( we have so many blankets over here...thats all we needed was another one......:D oy) and it even came in on time!! it got here on Friday, but unfortunately cory had to work late and by the time he got off the post office was closed..sad.. so we tried to get it on saturday, but unfortunately the post office was closed....sadder.. and sunday it was closed and monday was presidents day so OBVIOUSLY it was closed.. so now its tuesday and so help me if its closed again im going to have a mental breakdown (which im never far from anyways...:D)
so yeah..corys gets his gift today..:)
anywho.. more pics...

we had fun decorating these cute little valentines boxes, the girls had fun making them and scribbling all over them, i had fun filling them and poking holes in them for the ribbons, it was tedious because the girls wanted to help and i ended up having to cut out an extra one because Kaylee decided one wasn't quite finished and needed it needed a bath.... in the potty.....so we tossed it and made a new one.....

see? pretty! so yeah.. that's all so far nothing else to report, sherry and baby Shaun are doing fantastic, we've decided he's going to be a world class wrestler or kick boxer, its fun to watch my tummy go berserk, it looks like something out of space balls..:D where the guy eats the soup and the alien jumps out of his stomach and starts singing...he he he...creepy...so yeah, also nothing new on Cory.. we still haven't heard back about his MEB. we've decided that if they allow him to cross train he'll go into being an LDS Chaplin's assistant, which is FANTASTIC because he'll have time for school!! wee! and if he gets separated, we have no idea what we'll do....so yeah.. we'll somehow survive....we'll just move in with mom..:D he he he...free loaders.. :)
