WLC graduation

For the past 15 days Chris has been at WLC... its a training to teach them how to be leaders... Warrior Leadership Course.
Yesterday was the last day and Chris' graduation. It was a nice ceremony. We are so happy that he is done and back home!
My camera was acting funny... for some reason it wouldn't take action pics. It would do still ones fine, but the action shots are all blurry.
So here Chris is getting his diploma! So proud of him!

Here is the whole class saying the NCO's creed. It is pretty cool to hear a group of over 20 guys saying the same thing all together. You can hear the pride in their voices. Very cool!
We are so glad that he is home now! The girls sure did miss him (I guess I did too... but just a little bit). We decided to go out to eat for dinner. Chris wanted some steak so we went to a new steakhouse called Santa Fe Steakhouse. It was soooo yummy!

Can you tell she was happy to have him home?
We had such a good time out as a family! So glad this time away was only 2 weeks... instead of 15 months!

Since we were celebrating, Chris let the girls get dessert. They got to have some dirt pie!!! It was so cute! It came in a little flower pot and everything... crushed Oreos, chocolate & peanut butter pudding, and gummy worms!
We figured the girls would LOVE it!
Well, Ireland loved it! She really thought the gummy worms were cool! This was the first time they had gummy worms so it was all new to them.

Chloe actually didn't like it at all! She was actually scared of the worms! I picked one up and tried to get her to eat it and she screamed and tried to climb out of our booth! After that she didn't even want to eat the pudding and cookies! Another random thing to add to the list of Chloe fears!
Outside there was this Longhorn.... the girls thought it was neat. For those of you who know Chloe, this is actually a big step for her! She use to be scared of animal statues... wouldn't even get near them. So the fact that she is sitting on this is huge! And of course, we had to show off our Longhorn pride! HOOK EM' HORNS! :)
