Joe came home Saturday night! My friend Vanessa came and took pictures for us. I'm pretty sure I would have missed the whole thing if she wasn't with me. The directions I found online on how to get to the gym were wrong so we were driving in the middle of no where! She called our friend Dana and her husband told us how to get there. So thankful for friends! We got there just as the white buses were pulling up!

 

The girls were really excited and Jack did awesome (we got there around 9 and Jack goes to bed at 7, I put him to bed and woke him up before we left..I was thinking he would be crying the whole time!)

 My friend had a hard time getting the pictures because this reporter guy was in the way!

 

Joes been home for three days now and we've gotten SO many projects done. I think i'm ready to sit and do nothing for a day though :)  Today was mostly fun, we went shopping for some new clothes for him since he is so dang skinny! But I love shopping and he is really good about wearing the things I pick out for him so it was fun. We also went to lunch at firehouse subs, yum!

Joe is pretty tired too!

 We made turkey hands tonight after dinner

 Taking a break watching a movie

 Jacks new big boy bedding

 Joe fixed my car..I thought it was pretty strange that he sat IN my car to fix it, but whatever it takes right?

 Pretty Lily

 More projects..this one is for Jacks party

 Bean bag toss

 Jack loves to help daddy

 Joe put up a gate so Jack would stop climbing up the stairs

 Finally got my new faucet put in! I bought it like two weeks after Joe left, so i've been waiting a long time!

 Taking a break

 I don't remember the last time I blogged..these are just some random pictures from my phone

I havent heard back if we won the family photo shoot, but i'm planning on doing pictures myself anyway so i've been trying to figure out what I want us to wear. I found this dress (which is too short) at Kohls and with my coupons it was only $3! I really liked it on the hanger, but i'm not so sure about it on :( It came with the thin belt, but i'm not sure I like it with that one...Vanessa said that one looks best though

 I also need to find brown leggings... Or I could try some thick tights?

I'm planning on wearing cowboy boots, and buying Joe a cowboy shirt..you know the ones with  pearly buttons... We live in Texas, so why not ;)

I take a lot of pictures of Jack on my phone since he's the only one home all day :)

 We worked on our welcome home sign. Joe will be home so soon!

 I cleaned out my car...haha

 Jack at the park

 Ella voted for Mitt Romney. I asked her why and she said the other guy already had a turn and she wanted to give someone else a chance

 Someone told me today, oh your baby is so cute, is it a boy or a girl..really?!

 Lily loves to color
