I have posted several different pictures, but there are a ton more on the photobucket account. So check them out there!
We went hiking today on post, the kids had a blast... We didn't make it to the top of course, but it was an adventure none the same... then after dinner me and the kids convinced Chris to take us to the fair :) We all had a blast!!! Its been two years since they have been. This is the first time all four enjoyed the fair and all four rode without being scared!

January 24th 1975
Sierra Vista (the town we are in) opened the FIRST McDonald's Drive Thru in America! How cool is that!
The drive thru window was constructed so the soldiers could order food without entering a building. Back then, according to the Fort's Commander, the soldiers were not allowed to enter an establishment while wearing their work uniform.

The Boys Started School
Well, Tuesday was the first day of school for the boys. So far I really like the school and they seem to really enjoy it as well.
Their teaching methods are really different from public schools and I am actually excited about it. I really think this teaching method will really really help Jacob out. We shall see.
They are very active with their lessons, take TONS of field trips (two in the next two weeks alone) very hands on and take tons of recess and wiggle breaks. They push technology, computers and thinking out of the box...
All the homework is independently lead...meaning they were given the instructions on how to do it in class and the work sheet is instructionless... They come home and complete the task.
Today is their early day.. I get to pick them up at 1 o clock on Thursdays...

Home Sweet Ft. Huachuca!!!
We made it to Ft. Huachuca. It is breath taking beautiful. Mountains EVERYWHERE! I may pinch myself in the morning to make sure I am not dreaming!!!
We rode by our new home today, it looks great. So excited. I opened a side door to the garage and was greeted by a spider on my hand! LOL I almost screamed, but I controlled myself. The back yard looks larger than I expected.
We are meeting at the house tomorrow at 2 to do the walk thru and then going to the office to sign our lease papers. Hopefully we will be moving in tomorrow by five...
I will definitely update soon, not sure when our internet will be hooked up though!
