Our fun Day at Snoopy Park

We had such a great time at Knott's Berry Farm...Here are some memories from our exciting day!

Fat and Sad...

So. among the many reasons I HATE having my boys gone, the most recent of all the reasons is that I have put on weight. I think it's a combination of depression eating and not realizing how active you are all day with a 4 year old, a 3 year old and 1 year old. I don't know what to do because I can't possibly get that kind of aerobic exercise during the day without spending time in the gym and let's face it I hate going to the gym. This is like a vicious cycle, I'm sad because I miss my babies sooo bad so I eat and than I look in the mirror and hate how I look so I stay in and than I gain more weight and on and on...I HATE this, I HATE missing the boys like this, I HATE not being a mom, and I am soooo excited to pick my babies up this Friday for Knott's!!!

I love these!!

I got these pics from Dave today and I just love them!!!

Halloween

1. My BFF Amber and Optimus!




2. Amber and Bumblebee.



3. Jack (Optimus Prime), Gregory (Bumblebee) and Allie (princess), sooo cute!



4. I love this picture because yesterday when I was talking to Gregory on the phone he was telling me that William was a pumpkin and than he said "Mom, he is such a sweet little pumpkin."

They gave him the boot...

Ethan hurt his foot while running with the double stroller at the Air Show almost two months ago. He complains about the pain so frequently that we went in to have it re x-rayed today and they found that it should have been casted when he hurt it way back in August. So they gave him the option of a hard cast or a boot and of course he chose the boot, here he is trying to be sexy with what he calls his robo-leg.

The boys new house in Arizona

The boys are going through a lot of fun changes, they are just about to make a big move to Arizona with their dad. They are all set to move in in November now that their new houses is officially theirs! I love this pic because it's one of very few pics I have seen of the boys recently! I miss them sooo much but am glad to see that they are happy and doing well.

The Art of Intelligence...

Ethan and I were so excited when we decided to invest in a new mattress set, one that would finally allow Ethan to sleep with his feet on the bed. I, hesitantly, let Ethan run to Bed Bath and Beyond to pick out a sheet and comforter set, in my previously appointed color theme. We decided that William would need a nap and he and I would stay home and nap on the new bed. Well I apparently was more tired than he was and fell quickly to sleep, only to wake up to a little art project he had been working on for the last twenty minutes. William had colored our mattress in the most vibrant orange permanent marker he could get his little hands on. Needless to say I was not thrilled, this may have been the most expensive thing we have bought and all in money from our own account, soo exciting. With the boys being away I have found some new appreciation for Will's art work...I was noticing how it was really smart that he tried to fill in all the circles. Granted he's only 18 mos so I think it shows intelligence that he thought up a strategy for placing the vibrant color. Man that boy amazes me and maybe someday I can sell my mattress for more than we payed for it because it will be the early works of the famous William Wagstaff.

We Are All Home

Greg, Jack, Will, Becky, and Ethan are all back home again. 'Nuff said.

I couldn't narrow my favorite pics down so here they are...

First of all oh my goodness, my husband is so stinkin' handsome!! it's hard to imagine that he is just working because half these photos look like a modeling shoot! Hehe, I am so proud of you Ethan and it really is cool to see you doing what you do! You amaze me everyday sweetheart and I hope you know how much I personally appreciate you! I love you Ethan

Take a Look

So the big, bad, Airmen has finally graduated and here is my Operational Badge. It is an Eagle with a globe in it's talons. Very Cool. I am now part of the operational Air Force and I also get to wear my A1C stripes.

Congratulations Ethan...

Congratulations Ethan, you have worked so hard and sacrificed so much and now you get to see the rewards of that!! Happy Graduation and Promotion Day! This is something that you have accomplished all on your own and you should be very proud of that!! I am so proud of you and appreciative of all you do for our family...I know this was a difficult time for you and you kept yourself going and motivated and YOU did it...CONGRATULATIONS from the bottom of my heart!

Hello From Lackland

So this is me in Lackland. Not a lot goes on here and not much to say except I graduate from Tech School this Tuesday and upon graduation I will be A1C Wims (notice the stripes!)

And then of course the other picture is of myself on the way to the mini-mall to get some Dr P. and frozen pizza. Gotta love the bachelor life. I will post more photos as the days go on and as I get to wear my operational badge.

My Wife.

All of you have met my Wife. If not her name is Rebekah Rose Wims and she is the most awesome person that I will ever meet. She has a killer smile, a great sense of humor, beautiful ideas, and a heart of gold. Did I mention that she is a knockout too.
I just wanted to take a moment and tell my beautiful Wife that I love her with all of my heart and that I'm so blessed to have her in my life. I love you Becky. See you very soon!

Hello everyone.

Hi guys.

So tech school has only a week left and then I'm free of Lackland, and get to be home with my family! Obviously I can't wait.
Then we go onto Germany for the next couple of years. And don't worry because we will fly everyone out to come see us. A little FYI for you- this is my first time being on the site, since I have limited internet time. So be sure to thank Becky for setting everything up. While we are in Germany this will be an easy, and great way to communicate so Thanks Sweetheart.
I apologize if I haven't been able to talk a lot while I'm here. I try to just focus on my classes so I graduate on time and can be home, back with all of you, as quick as I can.

Please take care of yourselves and know that I love you all.
-Ethan
