Marine Ball

We went to the Marine Corps Birthday Ball last weekend and we had a lot of fun. Our friends were really nice and watched the girls and took some family pics for us. I've been meaning to come on here and give an update but this week has flown by.
I wore a dress to the ball that I have worn to a ball four year prior. Except this time it was a little tight and I didn't wind up drunk at the end of the night. lol. Wearing it brought back fun memories. All last week I was worried about whether or not I should have even gone to the ball. I was worried about all the little stuff...which to be honest isn't abnormal for me. I was worried about what dress to wear..the shoes to wear with the dress..how am I going to do my hair..then I would go maybe I shouldn't even go. Then Mitchell would say "It won't be the same without you" and then a friend told me she felt the same way until she realized it was going to be a night out with her husband. Then I realized she was right...and that's just what it was a Great night out with my husband!
For new updates we have Mitchell's Dad coming out to visit this weekend with his sons Nick and Jordan. Mom and Dad Burke are coming out to visit for Christmas..yay!! I can't wait to see them! Our Friends Bobby and Brooke might be coming out visit right after..another yay!! A friend of mine who miscarried this time of year last year is about to have a baby, she's 37 weeks along...another yay!! So many yays!! Another friend of mine is knitting little booties and hats then turning around and selling them on a web page and craft fairs...so far is turning out good...if any of are interested here's the web page: http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=6400792. They're very cute!
For us...Mitchell is trying to get recruits lined up for next month..when he's not here helping out. The dishwashers motor blew out the weekend before last and he's been for each step of the way to get the new dishwasher put in.
Hannah's learned how to pull herself up on things and its looking like she might have tooth trying to come through. These girls just don't stop growing. KalieAnn is just growing more and more independent. Along with a little sass and some attitude. Well I need to go make this clan some lunch..put Hannah down for a nap, then get things together for KalieAnn's swim lessons. God Bless!
