The videos are just some of the fun we have every minute of the day. She is such a comedian. Both her top teeth are about to poke through! A lot of the words she says...or tries to say she has a little lisp. It is the sweetest little sound ever! I am trying to get stuff ready for her upcoming FIRST birthday. I need to get it together soon. It will be here before we know it. I want to have her's and Zach's together because he will be 30 on the 13th of August. They are only 5 days apart. Well, other than her we don't have much else going on. We have been trying to sell some things on Ramstein yard sales to get rid of stuff we don't use anymore or need. We have so much CRAP! I am so excited, but really nervous to come home. We have been here for the last three years, but a lot has happened during that time. It has been just our little unit over here, and now we will be back in the states (hopefully) and back to drama. We are going to have to make a lot of adjustments. I am sure it will be fine, but just a little nerve racking! I am excited though! Zach and I are ready for a change. We have lots going on, so I will for sure keep you posted!

Copy Cat

Ok, so this is by far one of the cutest videos I have gotten yet! We were having lunch today and just playing around. She started copying me! It was the coolest thing ever! She never ceases to amaze me! You will love it!

Rain, Rain Go Away!

Germany wouldn't be Germany without rain....I guess. It seems that another gloomy, rainy day is just waiting to spring back into action when the sun comes out. I had a lot of plans this weekend to work in the yard. A lot needs to be done out there. However, on Saturday the rain gods had other plans. So, we stayed inside and played games with Marlee and just hung out. Our AFN Decoder went out on Saturday too, so no TV. That wasn't so bad because it isn't on too often during the day anyway. We took to the base to do our usual run through. Nothing of course...then dinner...then bed. Sunday felt like it melted away so quickly. We did a lot that day, and then I went to a going away party for my friend Sara. They are getting ready to PCS outta here! I am a bit jealous I have to admit, but our time is coming up. One of her clients (she does hair) put together a little dinner party for her at India Palace. They had great food. Some of her other clients came and it was a nice evening. Did I mention they had great food??!!!!!!!! I posted some pics of the weekend. Hope everyone had a great one too!




So, this is Sara. We have been here together for a 3 years and never had a picture together...crazy, right?



...and another one...makes 2!




These are some of her clients....and my eyes at the bottom!



This was the best Indian food I have had in a long time. I had some chicken with coconut curry cream sauce with cashews.....YUM!



So, my hair is fro-e....I parked forever away from the restaurant because I couldn't find any parking...then it decided to rain on me. I couldn't find my umbrella in the car, so I had to run with slippery sandals on and a present, my freakishly huge purse, and trying not to get my pants wet. It sucked!


A cool picture...not taken by me...


Me so excited about my dessert....before I tried it! It was supposed to be homemade ice cream with blah blah blah pistachios, and blah blah blah. It was a strange texture and interesting to the taste buds.



These are some great pics of Marlee! We always have fun!



Wanting to help mommy vacuum! She loves the vacuum, and when it is on she screams to mimic the sound it makes. So funny!




Playing with Oscar! She loves him....he does his best with the hair pulling and chasing. She loves when he barks!




She is trying to crawl over my legs here.




Model Pose #1




Model Pose #2




Model Pose #3.....She has got these down doesn't she???!!




She is trying to pull herself up....she doesn't have it quite yet, but it isn't too far off!

She loves to be outside so much. She crawls over to the door and slaps the glass like..."Mama, let me go outside...PLEASE!"




She is strapped in I promise!! It is strapped to the counter.




Her sweet Pigtails!!


Her hair is getting so long in back...See



As she crawls towards Oscar....She squeals with excitement....He whimpers with despair! "Please don't pull my hair...Again!!



She loves eating her big girl food! She won't really eat her old stuff anymore.



Marlee is changing day by day! I just want it all to slow down. Things here are fantastic! I wish I could say I am exercising like a mad woman...sadly, it isn't so. I am just tired of it. I still have a goal and am still on my way to achieving it. Zach is doing great as always! He sets his mind to something and is headstrong. I tend to make excuses. However, they are the best excuses ever I promise! Stay tuned....
