Assignment Night

Last Friday Shay had his assignment night. It is the night we finally get to find out what aircraft he will be flying. He has worked so hard this past year and we are so proud of him. Because of all his hard work, he was able to get his first choice! He will be flying the C-17 and our first duty station will be at McChord AFB in Tacoma, WA! We are happy to be back with family! We do not have orders yet but we know we probably won't be up there until at least June. Shay still has to do a 4 month C-17 training at Altus AFB here in Oklahoma and then another month of survival training. I will stay here in Enid while Shay goes to Altus. It is about 3 hours south of here. It will be tough to have him gone with a newborn but will will see him on the weekends. So if anyone wants to come visit me I would love the company! We are excited for this new chapter in our lives and know it will be challenging as a family but we know this is the right thing for us. Here are some pictures from assignment night...

October

We have officially entered the third trimester and the holiday season! I am now 27 weeks and growing! Reagan went to her first Halloween party yesterday. Shaler wanted her to be a cowgirl and so she is. However, he has learned that next year he should ask what she wants to be. The two of them have had a grand debate because she wants to be and Ariel princess. No shock there! Oh, how we love age 3! Here are some pictures of my growing belly and her Halloween party

6 months or 24 weeks....

Here are some pictures of my growing belly for those of you requesting pictures. I just hit 24 weeks this past week. Everything is going great and Reagan is already wanting the baby to be here. She can't wait to be a big sister! We have 5 more weeks until Shaler's assignment night which is where we find out what aircraft he will be flying. We are excited to know where are lives are headed.

Happy Birthday Reagan AND......

It has been way too long since I updated everyone our family. It has been a crazy summer with trips, pilot training and friends moving. The best part about this summer is we can finally say we are expecting another little girl in January! It has been a long year with miscarriages and progesterone treatments but we are happy to say that we have a healthy baby girl! Reagan is so excited to have a baby sister. All she talks about is helping change the babies diaper and rocking her while singing to her. She will be a great big sister!
This past week was Reagan's 3rd Birthday! I can't believe that it has been three years since she was just a newborn. We had a fun party with friends. She enjoyed every minute, especially the presents and cake.

Track Select

Last Friday Shaler had his track select which determines his next trainer for phase two. He got the T-1 which is the track for flying most heavy aircraft. He is going to miss flying the T-6 but is excited about the new opportunity with the T-1. Here are a couple photos from that night. I forgot to turn the flash on so some of the pictures are fuzzy.... :P

Skatetown

We took Reagan roller skating at the indoor rink this past weekend. She had so much fun! We were impressed with how quickly she picked up on it. She had fun with her Daddy and with a few or her friends.

The past couple months.....

We have not done a whole lot these past couple of months except that Reagan keeps on growing. We got Reagan a big girl bike for Easter which she loves. She can finally keep up with all her friends on their bikes. The weather has been nice so Shaler has been enjoying his BBQ. I think we do a daily run to the commissary for meat! Reagan loves helping both outside and helping me in the kitchen. She is our little chef! Shay is more than half way through his mid phase which means about 5 weeks until track select!! He is loves flying and is enjoying himself immensely. He says he goes to work everyday but I believe he is having too much fun for it to be called work! Well I hope to keep everyone more up to date this summer!
