Matthew jumping from a plane.

He is the 11th jumper on one side... This was from a week ago when we got to see him jump for the first time.

Silly boys being boys and a man jumping from a plane!

Levi was having a pillow fight with daddy!

He then took a break from fighting and was being cute for us.

Bruce was playing his leapster instead of pillow fighting this time.

Levi got daddy.

And now he is resting and is worn out!

Daddy looks more tired than Levi, but it's Levi's bed time!

The boys this morning.

Levi and Bruce are finally both smiling well, but Levi's eyes are closed!

Big brother Bruce is letting Levi lay on his lap. He must still be tired!

Paratroopers coming down after jumping out of an airplane!

One of these guys is possibly Matt, but we aren't sure! He jumped twice in 7 days and we got to witness the second time! It was really fun and neat! Bruce loved it and so did I, but Levi wanted nothing to do with it!

Levi after dad's jump also!

Update!

The past 3.5 weeks we have been busy! Matt went to Haiti on January 14 and was gone for 6 weeks and 1 day. We were only given about a 10 hours notice before he was scheduled to leave. It was a different experience for all of us, but we were so proud of him for his humanatarian aid help. He got home on February 26, 6 days before my birthday! The greatest present ever. Since he missed both of the boys birthdays we had a late present opening for Levi the day Matt came home and then we went to Ihop like Bruce requested.

The past few weeks we have gone to a childrens museum, which the boys (all three) loved very much. And Monkey Joes, which is a big room with a ton of jumping houses in them. We have been having tons of family time and enjoying each others companys while we have the chance, since we learned that Matt could literally leave any second.

The boys are getting so big and are so much fun. Levi loves to play outside with Bruce now. He also loves to be a boy! They are very ornery, but lovable little boys! Levi helps with laundry by handing me the dirty clothes, and Bruce helps too.

Levi loves to eat and does so very quickly. He eats more than Bruce does and more quickly sometimes. Bruce has learned our address now and can write all of his letters and numbers, and spell and sound out words. He goes in May to enroll in kindergarten! We can barely believe it.

Levi is running now and loves to wear his shoes! He growls at us and blows kisses. Levi likes to hug Bruce and then knock him down. Such ornery little rugrats!

Matt got to jump out of a plane last week! It has been a long time since he has gotten to do that and it waa the first time since coming to Bragg! He loved it and is going on another jump tomorrow! We are planning on watching tomorrow and taking pictures!

We are all doing pretty great! Planning on a trip to the beach soon and some fun Easter things! God Bless all!

Pictures from the last 2 weeks...

The boys were very happy to have their dad back!

A blurry shot of all of us.

Levi liked to play with mommys birthday balloon.

Levi was trying to give Bruce one of his puffs.

Messy boy after eating some of mommys strawberry birthday cake!

Playing football.

Bruce was using chalk and Levi wanted nothing to do with it since we wouldn't let him put it in his mouth! He decided to put things in is pail instead!

Bruce loves to be outside!

We went to Monkey Joes yesterday!

A quick picture of us!

Bruce caught the ball!

Levi was trying to ignore daddy here!

Pausing for a picture.

He likes the soccer ball. He didn't want to kick it though, only throw it!
