Lieutenant Heap!

So as you all know, Shayne is doing his Ordnance Officer's training right now and so far he is doing great! He has passed all of his tests with flying colors! He also had the opportunity to go to Gettysburg with his class. He got some really neat pictures and said it was awesome to see the sights after learning about it in school and seeing the movie. Anyway, I am so proud of him and the choice that we made for him to serve our country and protect our family!

A Day at the Park!

Shayne got off work at 10 this morning! Yay! And it was too beautiful of a day to stay inside so we went to the park! After the park we went to a really neat old house that had been turned into a toy store! Then we stopped by a chocolate shop ( the chocolates did not look nearly as good as Grandma's or Tricia's!) and then of course an ice cream parlor. And a warning to Grandpa, unless he wants to share, he better not eat any ice cream when we get back to Bozeman! I swear Payson can smell the stuff! And he loves it!! So needless to say, we had a great day!

Labor Day Weekend!

So this weekend Shayne had 4 days off so we did a few different fun things. On friday everyone on Post had a game day and competed against each other so we came to watch the games and play in the park.....And as fun as that was, we finally got to go to the beach!! We had so much fun! Payson preferred to sit on the beach and eat the sand over actually playing in the water so Shayne and I took turns swimming. Although I didn't get to do much swimming because every time I went in the water, the under current got the better of me and would wash me back up to shore! And of course Shayne thought it was hilarious! Which by the way, I have this theory about cheap sunglasses. If you buy cheap ones you will never lose them. No matter how many times they dissapear, they always pop back up somewhere. And if for some reason you do lose them, it's not a big deal because they were cheap. Well I had this $5 pair of sunglasses for 4 years that Shayne hated so he finally talked me into buying nice ones and chucking the old ones....and of course I was wearing them at the beach, got sloshed around in the water and they fell off my head and sucked into the ocean forever! So needless to say I learned my lesson about spending money on sunglasses when the cheap ones work fine! And Dad, I know you will appreciate this story! But after an amazingly fun weekend together, Shayne had to go back to work today, but at least it is only a 3 day week!
