Joe's Graduation

The Happy Graduate!

(Actually he was laughing at me b/c for some reason my camera was

 being slow and wouldn't take the picture!)

Last October Joe graduated with his CCAF degree. CCAF stands for Community College of the Air Force. This is an associates degree that the Air Force has to applies credits from military training to be put towards a college degree. This can also be transferred directly into a bachelors degree. Using a program called AU-ABC, Joe can take this associates degree and start as a junior in college (having his first 2 years complete). This is a great opportunity that I am grateful the Air Force provides for us. He has plans to continue his education, but is still indecisive as to what area. Depending on what happens career wise in the next year will determine what he will pursue....more on that later. I am so proud of Joe for this accomplishment. Congratulations Joe!

Halloween 2010

This was at Joe's work. They had trick-or-treating at the passenger terminal

Lauren a bit under-dressed...Nolan having a great time!

Nolan was walking too slow so we turned around and grabbed his scooter. We ...huthum...I mean they probably got twice as much candy using the scooter in between  houses!

Our baby lion was all tuckered out...sucker in hand and all!

Owen's First Haircut

Owen was way overdue for his first haircut. I never imagined I would be the one giving it, but one day I just got this grand idea that I was going to give him a haircut and so here you have it. Not the best haircut I've ever seen, but it still looked cute. He has since had a professional haircut and it turned out much better. I watched how they cut his hair and am thinking I may give it another try using their technique. The greatest part about boy haircuts is that the hair grows back within a few weeks!
