SGT Lang

I should have posted these pictures of Jared getting promoted awhile ago, but here it is. Since Jared has been promoted to SGT, he has been to three other boards; Cook of the Quarter (in which he won first place and moved on to Cook of the year), Cook of the Year ( in which he competed against all the cooks in our area and won 2nd place, and then he recently went to Soldier of the Year (in which he competed against all the soldiers on our base [over 50,000 soldiers] and won't know the results until July 11th. However, the winner of the soldier of the year goes to Washington DC.) Jared is amazing!!!!
Here is getting promoted by his Commander. There were 3 other people being promoted, Jared was the highest ranking one.
After Jared got promoted everyone in his company came by and shook his hand (if they were lower ranking) and hit him in the chest (if they were higher ranking). It was fun to watch. I sure am proud of all his accomplishments.

Ariana turns 3

For her party we invited a couple of friends and went to Chuck E Cheese. She loves riding horses.

Emmalee makes sure the horse tastes good before riding.
Birthday cake wouldn't be the same without dinosaurs on top.
Daddy helped Ariana open her presents.

A Guessing Game (anyone game??)

What do you get when you give a 3 year old a bag of cat food?

We were visiting with friends in the lower level of our house when we noticed a quiet girl upstairs. We asked her what she was doing and her reply was this, "What!? I am upstairs." The door slammed shortly after her reply. We were curious and thought we would take a look. Thankfully, in this case, curiosity didn't kill the cat.

Okay, now for the guessing game. I am curious to see what you guys come up with. Any clue as how she got the food evenly spread out across the floor? No cat food was found on the bed, but cat food was found under the bed and the dresser.

Our Princesses

Ariana had a friend over and they played dressup.
Ariana loves dinosaurs and carries them around everywhere.

Books in Bed

I went to get the girls in the morning, around 7:00, and they both were awake reading books in their beds. It was so cute so I had to snap a shot.

Killer Cook

Jared took a two week course about cooking, and in the end, ended up cooking for some super high ranking guys.

Quick Update

Jared and I are both done with school for the semester. We are currently packing our house to show (I'll post pictures later) and it just seems like we are always busy.

Ariana is completley potty trained, which is so nice to save on diapers. I never have to ask her, she just always does it herself. Her and Emmalee teamed up and decided to pour finger nail polish all over the bathroom floor. Thank goodness it only got on the bathroom floor and the bathroom rugs!!

Emmalee loves to sing. She knows here ABC's and for family home evening we always sing I Am a Child of God, which she also sings. Her other favorite songs are Once There Was a Snowman and Jesus Wants me for a Sunbeam.
