A tradition of Strike Fighter Week is for all the spouse clubs to play each other in Volleyball.

It has been A LONG time since I played volleyball.....

We got second place over all!

Way to go Gypsy Chicks!

Another tradition of strike fighter week is to paint the O Club parking lot. Since our guys were gone, we decided to represent. The Black Lions had painted it so we decided to "tag" it Gypsy style.

"Mutha" is the award given to the squadron who excelled in spirit and sports competition during Strike Fighter Week

August: Cliff Note Version

Wow August was busy for us! Here is the cliff notes version of the last 2 weeks of it.

First off we had the Scott Summer Soiree where we celebrated Jane Berry and Jason's March's nuptials in Las Vegas. I got to catch up with a lot of my Phi Mu sorority sisters and it was like no time had passed at all. Jane Berry certainly knows how to throw a party!

Jane Berry and Jason. You can tell they are a fun couple :)

Roommates Reunited! Always an adventure.

Ellie and Ava have started interacting more and it is just precious. The fights have also started but they aren't as prevalent as I predicted......I know what you experienced Moms are thinking: "You Just Wait!"

Shopping is in her blood baby.

This is what their hair looks like when I don't do it.

A Bean sized chair

Pop Pop's gals

New Jammies! You can tell Pen is jealous that we didn't pick her up some.

Ava's "Happy Hour" of chocolate milk in her new fun cup from Ms. Kara

Ava's reward for being well behaved during back to school shopping

New Car Seat! Unfortunately, she has to gain 2 lbs before she can ride in it.

Calling Daddy

Ava randomly started calling Uncle Garrett, "Uncle NeNe". We love it and hope the name sticks!

Ava was so excited for Uncle NeNe to visit because he is the King of Rough Housing just like Daddy

Ellie checking out what is going on

Buddies

Pink Shoes!

This picture makes me SO SAD because I realize how fast Ava is growing up. I mean who poses like that at two years old?!

Bean's first pair of shoes! Ava steals them and walks around with them on her tip toes. No pink shoes are not safe in our house.

What a good little house wife
