counting down the days..

We got to see Molly Jane this weekend! The Mentzel's came over Saturday morning and brought Fiesta House for breakfast. We had a great time just visiting with them. I'm sure Mom and Dad were glad that Molly slept so they could have peace and quiet after a long night, but we were secretly hoping she would wake up so we could play with her! :) I didn't take any pictures and I'm kicking myself for it.

We had Scott's going away party Saturday afternoon. We just had our immediate families over for a cook out and enjoyed the beautiful weather. I worked so hard getting the house spotless all week then everyone was outside the whole time. Funny how things like that always seem to happen. :) But at least we still had a clean house when they all left! We had a great time with everyone. Ashtyn was the star of the show! She wore herself out running around like crazy. Excuse her diaper, but she got a little messy while eating and we had to strip her down. Aren't Lee and his girlfriend the cutest? They are so sweet.



tell me this baby doesn't get lovin' :)





On Sunday morning before our small group started we had a welcome home party and breakfast for Roy at church. He has been in Iraq for a year and we are so glad he's back! He looks great and was SO happy to be home! I'm so excited for Megan (his wife), too, that he is back because it was a long hard year for her with him gone. She stayed strong by the grace of God.. that's the only way she made it!


Roy is on the far left with the Razorback coffee mug (welcome back to Arkansas!!!) Rusty is next, he's our Sunday school teacher, Scotty, Bill, Derick and Bryan
Here's Megan, Sancha and me


After church we headed out of town and went to Shreveport to pick up Scott's uniforms and stuff for training. We went on base, picked up his stuff then went down to the boardwalk. We ate lunch at Copeland's Cheesecake Factory. My meal was really good but Scott didn't like his all that much. But it's okay because we hit up the chocolate crocodille and pigged out later! I had a graham cracker dipped in chocolate and white chocolate and a pretzel dipped in white chocolate and Scott had a carmel apple rolled around in a crunched up snickers bar. It was DELISH! I also got some jeans for $25 at Banana! It was a nice quick trip down there and we got back early enough to veg out for the rest of the afternoon.
