One Last Beach Trip

We took one last trip down to the beautiful Florida Gulf beaches before The Welch's left.
I really am so in love with the Gulf and the amazing beaches. It is warm and so blue and the sand is so soft and white. It was a dream living so close and being able to go so many times. And having great friends to go with makes it that much better. 

Olivia is always ready for the camera. She is so fun to take pictures of.

 

We happened to go on St. Patrick's Day....so here was a bit of green.

All the guys standing around. Can anyone guess what they were probably talking about?????

Flying Helicopters I'm sure

And the ladies enjoying the warm weather

Cute Dave and Jessica

 

Oh Janan.....I miss being a 1 minute walk away from you. 

Another gorgeous Welch child

I am going to miss having such great little friends around for Ruby. I know she will meet new ones but this little Hadley was a crack up and so good for Ruby to see such an outgoing personality. Ruby is so shy when she is put in new situations that is is going to take a while for her to put herself out there and make new friends. 

 

Clint has Wings

So we finally made it to the day when Clint got his Wings!!!!!!!
I could not be prouder of this wonderful and amazing Man.
It's been a L O N G road to get here, but we did it.


Graduation was exciting.....See if you can find The Clint Man

 

Our Bishop is the one with the Trombone

 

It's really cool at the graduation the Graduates all stand up and sing.
It makes you feel so patriotic and love this country when you hear all those soldiers singing together.

 

Doesn't he look sooooo serious?

I went up and pinned his wings on him. 

 

 

And then Noah shoved them in a bit further

 

 

We are so lucky to have so many great friends and family.
My parents came out to help us pack and move. And my mom did a ton of sewing for me. She is so awesome. I wish I had her around all the time.
Eve came and got trapped into helping us pack a ton. it was so great to have her cute smiling face around for a few days. oh how we miss that happiness.
And Clint's good friend Noah came to surprise Clint. What a friend. 

Ruby even got her own wings. (So did I....Mine are little baby gold ones. I love them)

I love how she is admiring them. 

 

Seriously, I can't believe we are done with flight school. I love Ft. Rucker so much and miss it everyday. We  had so many great times there with so many great friends. I love that we get to meet so many different people, but I hate that we have to leave them.
We have now settled into our house at Ft. Bragg in North Carolina. I have so many pictures and posts to catch up on, it will keep me busy for the next few days. Clint is leaving us very soon for a very far away place. So we will be spending as much time together as we can as a family. But while he is gone I have so many projects that I want to do.

Disney World Day 2

For our 2nd day at Disney World we went to Hollywood Studios.
There were tons of fun shows and parades to watch so it was definitely a more chill day.
And I was so happy that we made it onto Toy Story. The line is always forever long.

Waiting for a parade to start

Pas decided to participate in the dancing.
Love it!!!

We got to see a ton of fun characters, and I'll tell ya what. It is crazy how realistic they all are. I just can't get over it.

That's Ruby shaking hands with Jessie

She was mesmerized with the Beauty and the Beast show

We had to get a shot of her in front of The Tower of Terror.
Yep she went on it. We are mean parents and made her go on everything at least once

The last show of the night was Fantasmic. AMAZING!!!!
I mean AMAZING!!!!!!
It is my favorite by far. I especially loved seeing all the characters on the ferry boat

Medicine Cabinet Makeover

I found this cute little cabinet in St. George UT when I was there last summer for a family reunion. It was $6 can you believe that.
I just couldn't pass that up.
So it made the drive with me back to Alabama,
along with this table and many other things.
I felt like I was moving all over again.
Anyhow....nothing special before, just dark brown

But I now love the distressed white. I used Greek Villa by SW and the cute little knob is from Hobby Lobby

I love having a place to put things that I don't want Ruby to get to, since she sprayed all of my perfume one evening with a friend. And when I say all I mean you couldn't breath in our house.
Lovely

Now it is time to take her down and pack her up and find a new home for her in WA
