Be Thankful

Fall my favorite season and what makes the season better Yankee Candles of course. Also Thankful and Gratefulness I keep trying to drill into certain peoples heads that the reason I am happy and unstressed most of the time is because I am thankful for what I have, I am grateful when people do something for me or give me something and I look at every should be negative situation and figure out how to put a positive spin on it and to make it work to my benefit this has come in very handy in my life and in this life style we are living..So be thankful for all your blessings.

 This is our thankful tree the girls had a blast writing out what they thankful for so much fun was had that when the girls friends came over they asked if they could add a thankful note to our tree...

Masquerade Ball

Masquerade Ball once again a reason to dress up and put on sparkles and glitters. Actually this time around I wasn't 100% sure if I was going to make it back in time for this ball so I didn't go crazy with this Balls attire dress I ordered from Macys it was exactly what I wanted black, classy and with sleeves...masks ordered online from ebay and black slippers to save back pain heels were killing me in the past such a waste of money. necklace from last ball I think we have attended enough balls that I have enough accessories to cover all future balls and events...I know a bunch of wives say they have no interest in spending money to attend these Balls but with smart shopping you can spend less the $100 easily..it is definitely worth the experience to attend at least one Ball during your Army Service time.

Surprise, Surprise look who's coming for dinner

Well I am all about surprises right now first I showed up at nanas then I showed up at my Pachenko's parents house, stopped to see Pachenko's GrandMa then it was off to spend a couple days with my parents 

 The girls and my mom next visit I need to get a better photo and probably should grab one of my dad and the girls...the trip was only a couple days since we spent so much time waiting around in Ohio for Noah to be born but we will be back soon...next we were back down to Nana's to spend some time with her before flying back across the ocean...

We got to spend Cousin Heather's birthday with her the girls were happy to share that special day with her..Pizza, punch and cake the girls never pass that up...

Impatiently waiting to meet our grandson...

I will forever love this photo this is the only one that will ever be made public because Kate veto'd the rest lol we were trying to get Kate to dilate and have contractions so she is squatting on the floor well Rae got on the floor too and was giving Kate instructions on how she is suppose to squat and sit on the exercise ball to get this baby out...come on Kate get on the ball you can see the smirk on Kate's face 

 Well we didn't get Kate to go into labor so it's induction day...before

 Look at that I am not even going to tell you how quick my grandson flew out it was super fast and when he is older I will watch him for super powers...

 Kate, Noah and 3 of her little sisters who made the trip to Ohio with me to be there for Noah's birth..wow my babies are aunts...

 I became a nana so very strange love this little ball of joy

too many photos to post I decided to leave and head back on to my nana's after Katie came home from her couple day hospital stay it was important to me that she get in to a routine with Noah and learn how to do the mommy thing on her own since I live across and ocean and am not right around the corner...I have to say each and every day since she became a mom I am extremely proud of her she has become a wonderful mommy

Gypsy Girls Fun

The great thing about having Gypsy blood is your ability to land anywhere in the world and be ready to go explore. We can flourish anywhere the wind blows us in this case the wind blew us to Ohio USA. So while in Ohio the 3 little Gypsy girls and I were killing time waiting for our oldest to go into labor. Well the girls and I who after waiting for what seemed like forever to us for his baby to come out to fight the boredom we went off on an adventure and found the Columbus Zoo well it was Nov so it was a little chilly and most of the attractions and animals were away for the winter season but hey we are Gypsies and still enjoyed our adventure...It is such a benefit to children especially military children to learn to be resilient we just never know where the wind or the Army is going to blow us next but no matter where we land we will flourish and explore...
