It's been awhile

Hello ya'll! Sorry for the lack of posting, just kind of in a bloggy slump.

The weekend before last or last weekend, I honestly can't remember when, we had a quad BBQ. There are 5 families in our quad, and 3 of us cooked out, one of the families was out of town, and the other one joined us for a bit, but for the most part it was just 3 familes.

One of the husbands is really into medevil fighting and stuff, and has armour, and he brought out a helmet and sword for the kids who live next to us, but of course the LT had to try them on, so here is the LT in the helmet.

The helmet was very heavy, and the little boys who live next to us tried it one, and the youngest one almost fell over from the weight, and the chains came to his waist, it was quite cute!

This is a short sword, it is padded so it won't hurt too bad, and the husband hit LT with the sword pretty hard on the helmet, and he didn't feel anything! Pretty cool!

We had a great time with everyone and enjoyed getting to know them. The family that lives next to us is going to be gone for a while, the wife, who is also Army, is on the mainland for 5 weeks and the husband leaves for a deployment soon and will be gone a year. The husband has 2 kids from a previous relationship, so while he's gone we won't see them, but they are just the best kids ever, they're 4 and 8 and very well behaved!

I am the only spouse who isn't in the Army, all the other families are double Army. The one who likes the medevil stuff is ex Army, but his wife is still in, and will deploy with Steven, when he deploys.

Things are going really well here in Hawaii, the weather is unbelieveable, and we are just having a blast. The LT is very busy with work, and even though this is a 4 day weekend for most here on the island, he has to work tomorrow for a little bit.

Tomorrow is also the birthday of the Army! So Happy Birthday Army!!!
