Long post.....Part One

OK so its been a while since I have posted anything and boy have a ton of things changed!!! Well I will try my best to give you a quick little overview into whats been going on in our lives since April when we got home from Florida.
April-
Well Izaac and I got back from a nice long week in Florida only to come back and go down to the beach for Easter with my cousins. It was cold but that didn't stop us from having fun:)We got to go swimming at Mari's indoor pool and played in the sand by the boardwalk. No worries we left a note to the Easter Bunny to let him know where to find us, and Izaac was happy as can be when he woke up to see his basket, and he also got a mini trampoline from the "Yaya bunny"that was waiting for him when he got home, he loves jumping on it. Then it was back to work and school for us.



May-
Well nothing much to report here other then mothers day, my mom and aunt and some cousins came over for breakfast and a movie.And since Jason was still away at AIT, and we didn't have the money to go down to see him for his birthday but my lovely husband turned 27years old:) Izaac played soccer for the 1st time, he did really good. And we also took some picture of him at a local park. He is such a big cheese:)






June-
Man June was a crazy month! Izaac and I got to go to Great Wolf Lodge for the 1st time and we had a blast:) Then we had Izaac's graduation from Preschool/daycare it was really cute, we were glad the Mawmaw, Brittney, and Pawpaw Jim were able to come out and see him. He was so cute and he said he wanted to be a Chef when he grows up:) Makes me proud.
Then we went from his graduation to a family tradition, one we haven't done in a while, ROAD TRIP down to Texas to see Jason graduate from AIT!!!!!!
My mom, Ronald, Izaac and I drove down to Texas (25hrs done in 30hrs not bad if I so myself). It was great kinda like the old days when we use to drive down to Florida every year for vacation. We left Tuesday night after my mom and Izaac got home from Sesame Place,and we arrived in Houston, Texas around 11pm Wednesday night where we crashed. Then we were on the road to San Antonio to hang out with Jason. We had a blast we went to the River walk in downtown San Antonio and ate some great Mexican food.
Then Friday was Jason's big day! We were all so Proud of him and so happy to have him to finally come home:)
Jason got to come home with us so it was nice to have an extra driver. But sadly Jason was only home for 10 days and we had to get alot done cause we were soon going to all be moving to Germany. My family gave us a nice breakfast going away party that ended up lasting all day. Gotta love my crazy family.
So as June came to an end Jason came and left us again but this time he was going ahead to get things ready for us as we waited on our passports. Oh and here is a picture of my little Lila at 6months old.










































July-
Well since we knew for sure that we were going to be going to Germany I wanted to make sure that I got to hang out with my best friend Rachel and her boys before I left so we spend the 4th of July with them and we had a blast:) Then Izaac and I were of to Florida again to visit my dad and family but this time Izaac would be staying while I came home and finished working and packing for Germany. It was Izaac's 1st time being with my dad with out me and 1st time being away from me for longer then a week. He was there for 3 weeks!! I know I really missed him but I really needed some me time and I wanted him to get to know my dad and his family better. I know he missed me but I know he had a blast with my little brother Nathan who is only 6 months older, my dad said the were inseparable. And now Izaac has the kind of bond with my Dad, Lola Connie, Kenny, and Nate that is very special and that he did have before.
Well not much else happened in July except my birthday I am now 28yrs old and I had a great day, I hung out with my cousins Mely and Lia drinking Pina Coladas. And they made me the best cake ever:)Then the next day I went shopping with Rachel and went to dinner and a movie. What more could I have asked for:)


















August-
I tell ya August came and went! Well when Jason got to Germany he was on a waiting list for housing and so until he got a house for us we weren't allowed to come. Well on Aug 3rd Jason got to pick and see our new home, and so then all we were waiting for was our passports, and they came in on Aug 4th. Well My last day of work was bittersweet on Aug 10th. I flew out to pick up Izaac on Aug 11th had a nice time with my Dad and family we went to Disney World, gotta love that place:) Then we flew home on Aug 14th. Did some last minute shopping and hanging out with my mom the packers came to pack the stuff we were sending to Germany Monday Aug 17th the stuff we were putting in storage on Aug 18th and we left on the plane to come to our new home on Aug the 19th. whew just remembering it makes my head spin:)
Well we arrived in Frankfurt, Germany on Aug 20th at 5am, it was a great flight. It was nice to be with Jason again and have our family back together. Izaac was the happiest kid in the world to be with his daddy:)
The next 2 weeks we spent getting adjusted to the time, but we made some good friends and Izaac got registered for Sure Start, its the Pre-school they have here on base.












Sept-
Once we got adjusted to the time change, we were able to go downtown Heidelberg to see the sights and the castle. Izaac has become a very good photographer. So now I can be in some of the pictures with my hubby:)
Well Izaac started school on Sept 15th, he was mad at 1st cause he thought it was going to be like school back in the states where he was there all day ( cause even though he called it school it was really daycare), but when I told him it was only for part of the day he said he would try it. As we walked to school, yes we walked cause the elementary school is right behind the house, Izaac got teary eyed but was a big boy and went to school. He was very happy to see that one of the friends he had made the 1st few weeks we were here was going to be in his class. He had a great 1st day and came home and told me that he made new friends and loved his teachers. And we have had no more teary eyes since then:) Oh yeah I had forgot to buy him a backpack so he went to school with an earth friendly target bag, he was a good sport about it, but while he was at school I went and got him a real backpack he was very happy cause he also got a pokeman key chain for it:)









1st day of school:)
