Lee is finally a USA CITIZEN!!!!!!

Today was a wonderful day! Lee was able to finally be sworn in as a citizen. We left the house this morning at 550AM for his 730AM appointment. He had to take his citizenship test and of course he passed it. So we were out of there by 745AM. Then Lee informed me that the swearing in ceremony didn't start until 2PM. So instead of using the gas to go all the way back home we went to a mall and walked around. After getting breakfast we ended up being at the mall for 2 1/2 hours. Wow do my feet hurt. We got lunch and headed back to Homeland Security for the cermony. We went through security and while Lee filled out the last bit of paperwork the kids and I waited in the small auditorium.

Lee waiting for it to begin.

They gave the kids flags to wave. Both of them loved their flags. I even got Stephane to wave his. It was so adorable.

Still waiting.

Swearing in.

Getting his official citizenship certificate.
Outside proudly waving their American Flags.


I would like to say how proud I am of my husband. He has done so much for this country and it is so great to see him to finally be official. He is excited to be able to register to vote and be part of that process. I love him so much.

4th of July

On the 4th of July we went to Lee's Sgt's house. We had fun.

Before we got there they were mowing the grass and found some baby rabbits. Marie-Eve got to hold one and she thought it was way cool. You can't really see it but it is in her lap.

One of the girls there bought Marie-Eve some goodies. One of them was this red, white and blue streamer. She loved running around with it.
They also had a slip-n-slide. She really didn't do it well (only because she can't really run) but she had fun trying.

Of course, she got to do sparklers. Can you see how long that thing is? I couldn't believe it when I saw them, I have never seen them that big.

And finally the fireworks. It was Marie-Eve's first fireworks.

Visiting Brittany

So it has been a while so here goes what has been going on in the last couple of weeks.

On the 2nd of July Me and the kids went and visited Brittany and her family. She lives so far out there but we had a blast. Benjamin and Marie-Eve played so well together that I didn't want to leave. They live just up the hill from a lake and the kids loved it. The water only comes up to just past Marie-Eve's waist at the deepest part. Benjamin wanted to catch tadpoles but Marie-Eve didn't want anything to do with it. She is such a girl.

Stephane and I had fun on land. He loves to smile for the camera. LOL
Marie-Eve helped Jared bury Benjamin in the sand. She really didn't help much but it was fun.
Then it was Marie-Eve's turn. She thought it was so cool.
Brittany made her a mermaid.
