Our Grocery Store Find!

We found this in our cabinet this afternoon, what a find!

Can I get some help here?

Man, this hurts!

The rescue.

Tyson's First Barbershop Haircut

Tyson had his first real haircut this weekend. His hair was getting too long for me, it was coming over his ears and too far in the back. 

He did so well, he sat in the chair and just let the barber cut his hair, no whining, crying or anything, what a big boy!!!!!!!!

Tyson thinks this is the funniest thing, I love his laugh!

Mashed Potato Man

WHAT A MESS!

4th of July

Well, for the 4th of July we decided to go to Sea World. We had a great time and Tyson enjoyed watching the Shamu show!

Later that night we decided to watch the fireworks that they do on base so we went across the street to the park to watch but unfortunately a thick marine layer (fog that comes off of the ocean) rolled in and we could hear everything but couldn't see a thing, maybe next year!

One, Two, Three!

Listen and you can hear Tyson count!

Leon's Promotion

Today Leon got promoted to the rank of Staff Sergeant (E6). When he was back east in North Carolina he was put on what is called a "board" where they ask a series of questions and he was one of the Marines selected to be meritoriously promoted! 

When Marines are promoted, they pick two people to put their new rank on each collar and he chose myself and Gunnery Sergeant Campbell, he worked with this Marine for a couple years and he and his wife were very supportive when Tyson was born.

After the ceremony we were able to enjoy a cookout and meet lots of new people!

Thank you

I don't have a video or anything, but I thought that some of you might appreciate this!

As you know, I have been teaching Tyson sign  language for a while now and he can sign several things including more, please, eat, drink, milk, hot and I have really been working with him to sign thank you lately.

Well, yesterday Leon, Tyson and I went to a farewell dinner for a Marine that I used to work with and one of the ladies there gave Tyson a cookie. As soon as he took the cookie I started to open my mouth to tell him to say thank you but before I could even say anything he looked at her and signed thank you and he does this cute little head nod when he does it too, I was so proud of him that he not only did it without being told but that he also knows when to say thank you, woohoo!!!!
