Walter's 9th Birthday!

Walter turned 9 years old last week. I can't believe he is 9 already. I don't know why, but 9 seems so much older than 10. He will be starting 4th grade in August. Wow. For his birthday we had a party at Chuck E Cheese. It was a lot of fun. Two of my friends had kids with birthdays close so we had a group birthday party. With Gil being gone, I loved having to do very little for his party. I even ordered a Chuck E. Cheese birthday cake. One of the best parts was not having to do any clean up. Walter's favorite part was getting to go in the Ticket Blaster. He caught 950 tickets (not all individual tickets-some were worth more than others). Walter is such a great son. He has always been such a great big brother. He is a very good example to them.

Spouse's Tour!

My FRG (family readiness group) group was able to do the Souses Tour on post. It is a day spent getting to learn about the post, do a flight simulator, go repelling, and do an indoor shooting range. I was very excited to get to do it. I really enjoyed the flight simulator. It was a blackhawk simulator.


We had lunch at the DFAC and then went to the repelling course. We got a tour of the obstacle course and then were supposed to go repelling, but the key for where the equipment for us was stored could not be found so we did not get to repel. What we did get to do was a lot of fun. I really enjoyed myself.
