Joshua Graduates

Joshua graduated from Tech School on May 12th here at Keesler AFB. He was going to have to do some on-the-job training, but the reserve doesn't have the funding for it right now, so they are sending him home. Now we just come back for one weekend a month and 2 weeks in the summer. We are packing up this week and will move back this next weekend. Below is a picture of Joshua's short ceremony that they do for them. There are always classes graduating, so that is why it's not a huge thing. They did let me come and watch, so that was nice.Here is Joshua and the class that he graduated with.
Last week, we took Kylee to the beach a couple of days and took her 9mo pictures. It gets too expensive taking her to a portrait studio every 3 months! Anyway, here are some of them. The wind was blowing quite a bit the first day, so her hair was going everywhere!
She has been into clapping normal now lately. She thinks everything is exciting and claps!She likes the new bucket and pail that we got her, but she would rather get the sand out of it than put it in. She likes to take everything apart (she must take after Joshua in that!!)

First Step!!!

Kylee Paige is 9 months old today. Wow! She has grown so much. She took her first step on Sunday night. She actually took two steps, but at different times. She hasn't done it since, but I know that time is coming sooner now (that's kinda cool, but scary!!).
Joshua is graduating from Tech School on Friday!!!!! That means that he can live with us again. He had to help with the Special Olympics this weekend that take place on Keesler Air Force Base. It's not bad, except for that he doesn't get to leave base until Sunday after their (Joshua & his roommate) Special Olympian leaves. Oh well, he is almost done living on base anyway. After that, he will probably have some "on the job training" that he will have to do before we go back to Louisiana.
These pictures are from this week when I was with a friend of mine and her twin daughters. We took them and Kylee to a park on the Navy base where she lives. Kylee got to play in the sand for the first time. She didn't quite know what to think of it, and wasn't extremely excited that it wouldn't come off of her hands, but thankfully kept her fingers out of her mouth. That would have been interesting. She had a good time.
She also tried watermelon today and didn't know at first what to think of the texture, but soon wanted more. I knew she would take after me with loving watermelon. She didn't have a chance with how much I ate when I was pregnant with her last summer!!
