Hillarious Family FUN!!

We bought Guitar Hero World tour and let me tell you, it is HILLARIOUS!! Rylan is a true rocker and a side of Wes comes out, who knows from where...Addie and I are of course the singers..ha ha ha.

We haven't been up to much just working like crazy!! Wes is getting closer and closer to officially being out of the Army...AMAZING!! He got a letter back from the Temple PD he is on their list as #5 choice...so as far as we are concerned that is pretty good considering the amount of people that applied. He has Waco testing this weekend, then San Antonio next week. Anyway...we are doing well, and staying busy. Here is a video and pic of the boys!

One step closer

Wes has taken his second testing portion for a city here in TX, he passed it and is on to the interview stage. He is very excited and nervous. Out of 70 people only 3 were chosen for the interview part....and he snagged a spot!! I am so very proud of him and all the great things he is doing for our family!! THat's all for our family right now.

Annoyed

Okay, so here is my complaint for the day...yeah, I am just frustrated.

I have purposely avoided some of my friends blogs due to their life situations and my own...I personally have been through alot in my life with my husband and survived every second...though difficult alot of the times with the military involved, it has been a huge blessing to have the military a part of our lives. Out of the 7 1/2 years of marriage Wes and I have been together a whole 2 years and some odd months. How couldn't you dislike the military for that? BUT like I said there is blessings that come from everything.

We have survived, and now we are on to bigger and better opportunities in our life. Wes has applied to MANY different police departments and is testing like mad. He has already passed one test for a city, and has one in Waco, and one in San Antonio next month. He will be all ready to get out of the military! I am so proud of him and the effort he makes every day to help our family be in the best possible situations. I am also working hard, and have been chosen for Partner of the Month runner for this month!! I was Partner of the month for March in 2007. I would love to have the title again..and my picture for a year!! Oh yeah and the 50 dollar gift card from the store. Ha ha ha. I am also working with Mary Kay and trying to find time to do it...I really wish I was able to get more time to do it. This week I am not working that much at HEB so I am going to be trying hard to get some bookings. Anyway, I guess for today my rantings and ravings I want one thing to be remembered....ALWAYS be grateful for your situation EVERY single day...no matter how difficult, it will get you some where even better another day. Love everyone as much as you can, no matter WHO they are. And remember someone out there has things alot more difficult than you, so don't be too quick to complain about something that someone else would be more than happy to take on.

Addison, and the Merry Go round

Cute girl! Addie loving the merry go round! Okay not so much anymore Really dad it's enough Okay really please STOP this thing! I am going to puke!!

I AM SO TIRED OF THIS THING!!!!!!
Really she loved this thing, I just thought the pictures were too funny to not put them up in that order. she was on it for like 30 mins probably. It was so much fun!! We really had a great time what a fun day!!

Family Fun

Rylan and his gift from Grandparents West Rylan just being goofy FINALLY he has lost both his top teeth!! Blowing out his trick candles, the house was quite smokey! Addie wearing her lunch box as a hat, it was so funny Wes and his little girl! Notice Wes's nose..it's broken

Me and my Booty together again at last!
Rylan driving for the first time...he was SO excited!

Such a sweet picture! I love this one!

Daddy helping Addie mini golf! What a blast!

Well since Wes has been home life has been very exciting! We have been able to do lots of fun activities together. This past week we went to Austins Park and Pizza in Austin it is kind of like Boondocks for those of you in Utah. It was a lot of fun!! It was Rylan's b-day this week also so Wes and Rylan spent the day together, which was nice for them to be able to just be the guys. We were going to buy that house, but the mortgage company will not finance us until Wes has a secure job outside of the military...so that went down the drain..but everything happens for a reason so we aren't too sad about it. It just gives us more time to look around and get things done that we need to. So here are some pictures of the last week and a half, I hope you all are doing well! Have a good week!!

MY HONEY IS HOME!!!!

HELLO HELLO HELLO!! Everyone, okay sorry life has been a little bit crazy!! I signed up to be a Mary Kay consultant 2 weeks ago, my new website for anyone that might be needing a little TLC it is www.marykay.com/Faith_West Check it out!! Lots of fun new stuff!!

Also, Wesley Arrived home on Jan 22 2009!!! Roberta came down to welcome home son # 3....waiting was a crazy mess!! I hate the waiting game! son # 2 will be home in a few weeks!! You can do it Marie!! I know you can!

The kids, myself and Roberta were an absolute mess when the soldiers came in...wow what a sight! There were over 300 soldiers that arrived home with Wes's group...like I said...AMAZING!! It was an overwhelming day. We are SO happy to have Wes home, it has been so wonderful to have him call me and tell me that the kids are picked up from daycare and to just come straight home from work...wow...what to do? It is fantastic!! We had our x-mas...sorry no pics from that =( the kids got all they wanted. It was a great morning!

Another big piece of news, is that we are buying our third home we are putting our offer in tomorrow, and hopefully be moving in, in April!! We AREN'T going over our heads this time!! We are being alot smarter than we were with our last house. =) We are very excited with the way things are going for our FANTASTIC 2009!! Wes will be getting out of the Army in less than 4 months!! Hope that everyone else's 2009 is as wonderful as our has been for us!! We love you all and miss you all! Hopefully we will be able to get up to Utah in a few months....we aren't sure with Wes getting out of the Army how that will happen...but soon..we hope! here are some pictures of the homecoming.

It's been a while

Hello!! Okay, so not much has really been going on too important to post. I was offered a leader position at work back when they re-hired me, and I just started that last week...it is a little stressful, but it will all be worth it once things are figured out. It is fun though.

Rylan is doing very well in school, he has all A's in school, and just doing great!

Addie is working very hard at daycare to be happy and be a brave girl...she REALLY hates saying goodbye in the mornings. But she is doing great, and has lots of great friends there. Her teacher is very good also!

BEST NEWS! Wes will BE HOME IN LESS THAN 5 DAYS!!! We couldn't be any happier, antsy, anxious, excited, crazy, ummmmm yeah...we are JUST EXCITED!! Thank goodness for all the stuff we have to do otherwise this last week would just be horrible!!

Roberta (my mom in law) will be here on Saturday so she can be here to welcome home her baby boy! She figured that since this will be his last time coming home from ANYWHERE, that she wanted to be here, and we couldn't be more excited to have her down here! According to Addie, she is sleeping in HER bed with HER. ha ha ha. So things are going great, we are super busy, and very VERY EXCITED to have our daddy here safe and sound!! Please keep him...and us in your prayers the next few days while he is traveling!! Thanks everyone! We miss and love you all!!
