We're headed to Washington DC!

Hello everyone! Sorry it's been a while. Well we finally got orders and are officially headed to Andrews AFB in Washington DC. I am getting excited. I can't wait to see four seasons and there is so much to see. Austin can't wait to play in snow. The last time Scott and I talked we decided to have the truck shipped to California and we will drive to DC. Of course we want to see some sights and visit my family in New Orleans. I want to see the Grand Canyon and Scott wants to see the Hot Springs in Arkansas. It should be a fun trip. Anthony is doing well in Tennessee and has made lots of friends. Scott will be home in early July and we can start making plans for the move. All is well with the family. Mom and dad Sutton are still trying to figure out what they are going to do. I think life is pretty uneventful with Anthony not being there, which isn't a bad thing. Mom and dad Croucher are having a blast in Alaska. Their time clock is all off. I think they are sleeping in the day and fishing at night. I attached some pics of the King Salmon. I wish we were there to catch some. Scott would love that! Nanny thanks for the encouraging words....I needed them. I think the only birthdays for July are Nick Gilbert on the 21st, Skip and Wes on the 13th(same day) and Nanny on the 26th! Happy Birthday! Oh, Austin did great with his summer job! I'm glad to report Sandy wasn't lost, starved, or lonely. I know he is happy to earn his money and can't wait to spend it. It tickles me to watch him change his mind every 5 minutes trying to decide what he wants. I have to say this summer is flying by. We have been hitting the beach, riding the dirt bike(yes I wiped out hard), and hanging out with his friends. Well I hope everyone is well and will post soon!

It's Summer time!!!!!!!!!!!

We are kicking the summer off right! We decided to hit the beach which is located on Bellows Air Force base! We love this beach! It's located on the southern side of the island. The beaches are so different depending on where you go. If you hit the North and West sides most are surfing beaches with huge waves. The rest are geared towards anything from snorkeling and spear fishing, to wave boarding and body surfing. Most have very strong currents and lots of dangerous coral. Some are perfect to see colorful fish, turtles, and perfect for finding sea shells. We love Bellows because there is no coral and the currents are not so bad. The water is about waist high and is perfect for boogy boarding. The kids just love it! We also camp there too! Hopefully this summer is full of fun and excitement. I want to do as much as possible since we are leaving. Even though we have been here 3yrs I still look out every morning and take in the beauty of this island. I never take it for granted. I have been busy looking at houses in Maryland. It is so difficult to look for places on the internet. I was so worried about Austin's school. I want to make sure I find a good location with a great district. I know you all remember what 5th grade was like. I know I do and I remember how cruel the kids were. Cross your fingers. Thank goodness I have found a few local people who have helped me so much. I was told Calvert County is the place to be. I want land so Austin can hop on his dirt bike and go. We want Paulie to be able to run and play. Now a pool would just make the whole tour that much better. We want to be near water for lots of fishing and camping. I really do miss going to Mississippi and going canoeing. One of the really great things is location. No matter which way you go you are bound to drive into someplace awesome. We plan to take advantage of the area. I am getting excited! We wanted to say "Happy Birthday....Kim!" she will celebrate on June 13th! Well that's all for now. I'll be in touch!

Update....Last day of school!

Hello everyone! Today is Thursday the 7th. Today is Austin's last day of 4th grade! Austin has worked so hard this year. Thank goodness he has mastered multiplication and is improving in comprehension. We are so proud of him. I took some pictures of his friends and the school for you all to see. We are going to have him start 5th grade here on August 1st. We think it is better for him to have this experience instead of keeping him home until we move. I am so happy I also bring Paulie to vet today to remove stitches and hoody! Yay!!! I can't wait to give her stinky cute self a bath. Next week on Wednesday the 13th, Scott leaves for the desert. I am sure he'll keep in touch. We are busy getting his desert gear ready. I think the highest temp is like 130. I'm not sure, I just know it's terribly hot! Stay safe, honey! I finally remembered to take pictures of my new furniture so here ya go. I think that is all for now. Oh, I wasn't sure if you all know that you can leave comments. I check them daily to see if I need to update anything. Until next time.....

It's Saturday!!!

Happy weekend! I had to show everyone how sad and pitiful my poor dog is. Paulie is almost 2 and we finally got her spayed on Thursday. Let me tell you it felt like I was dropping my child off at kindergarten again! I brought her blanket to make her feel better and she stayed over night. When we picked her up Friday morning, she was sooooo sad. I felt terrible. I know I'm a sap! Paulie is learning to manuever around the house a little better, she gets caught on things still. My poor baby. I forgot to announce that Miss Casey Lambert graduated last week! Wow we are so proud of you. Congratulations! Happy Birthday Robin miller and Jeff Miller! If we have any other birthdays let me know. We do have a wedding announcement. Ashley Courtney and Brett Croucher Jr. will be married on July 28, 2007. We wish you a wonderful life of health and happiness! Scott is working this weekend. Anthony is doing so well in Tennesse. I think he started working today. I'm curious to see how that went. I hope everyone is doing great and will write soon.
