I wanna be like Dad. . .

Kaden decided to try Daddy's O2 helmet on for size. Daddy thinks that Kaden's ready to fly in the wind tunnel. I, on the other hand, think that'll be a cold day in AZ. ; )

Yuma Proving Grounds' Housing

Here are some pictures of our house on base at Yuma Proving Grounds in Yuma, AZ. It's a brand new house, bigger than most of the houses "in town" and it's free. Fortunately it even has a back yard with built-in sprinklers so that we can have some grass. The front is what they call "desert landscaped" which basically means means rocks. Although, we do have a tree in the front yard and one in the back that we're attempting to grow. Trees and grass are hot commodities around these parts. I think that it probably has something to do with the cost of water out here. The average water bill for people in Yuma with a partial yard is about $300 a month. Did I mention that we don't even have to pay for utilities on base? It's a good thing since the military pays about as well as teachers get paid. : )

Daddy's Little Helper

Kaden decided to help Daddy work on the Mustang. We have to keep it up and running since it's our only car here. The company that was supposed to ship my Tahoe never came through. So, once again, my Dad's coming to the rescue and driving it out here. He should be here on Wed.!!

My future's so bright. . .

Even Kaden is finding ways to deal with the blazing desert sun!!

Back Up and Posting!

Hey all! I finally got my technical difficulties worked out. Here's a couple new pics of Kaden taken with my new camera that I got for my birthday. I'm planning on posting some pictures of our house here in Yuma soon!

Technical Difficulties

Sorry that I haven't been posting as often as I'd like to. I'm having major technical difficulties with this blogger thing! : )

Trying to Keep Cool!

When it's still 109 degrees at 7:30 at night, you have to do whatever to try and stay cool!! But of course, it's a "dry" heat. Yeah, right!!

Kaden's Favorite Pastime

Well we're basically moved into our house here in Yuma. It's on base (post-to Army people) and it's about a 30 min. drive into town, so it's taking some getting used to. The base is very small, but it does have a few essentials: a commissary, bowling alley, swimming pool, and where we're at every night. . . the playground. : ) It was 112 degrees today so we didn't spend much time outside. Kaden started at the daycare yesterday. He goes for a couple of hours in the morning. He seems to like it, although as you can tell by the pictures, he takes after his daddy in aspect to his favorite indoor pastime. I prefer to take a nap. ; )

Hot in Arizona!

Hey everyone! I decided to create a blog so that I can try and keep everyone informed of new happenings in our family. Maybe something exciting will happen to us so I have something to write about. : ) Hopefully I'll remember to keep it updated! Make sure to check it every so often and add your comments! Maybe it'll help me not feel so far away from home. . .
