The USMC Ball 2010!

Happy 235rd Birthday Marine Corps!  This year the Ball was held on beautiful Hilton Head Island at the Marriott Spa and Resort.  We're so lucky to live just barely an hour away from there, but we still made a night out of it and stayed!  The kids were well taken care of in one of the conference rooms while they all played, watched movies, did a little arts and crafts, ate pizza, etc.  We had a great time with new friends and I, once AGAIN, borrowed a stunning dress from my girlfriend, Stacy at: http://hammietime.blogspot.com/.  After wearing Stacy's gowns for 2 years in a row and LOVING them, I'm excited to see what I borrow for 2011! lol  I think it may be MY turn to buy the gown and let her wear it next time though ;)

Our Little Honor Student

Ava has been on the Honor Roll ALL but one quarter this year in 4th grade.  This is from Nov.  I'll post the other award ceremonies later in chronological order as I blog.  We're so proud of Ava and how hard she works in school, sports, girl scouts, church, home, etc.  Congrats Ava and keep it up..................or else!! ;)

All of the 4th grade Honor Students! HOORAY!

Congratulations Captain Ellis!

Or as Renee likes to call him..........."Capt. Silky Pants" (because of the sexy green silky PT shorts he wears! lol)

In November Jason was promoted to Capt. FINALLY! Seemed liked it took forever (I was just anxious for that pay raise! HA!) Cameron and Sara came for the ceremony and we both (me and Cam) were able to pin J! It was such a nice day standing alongside the parade deck in front of the Iwo Jima Memorial (except for being eaten alive by SAND FLEAS!!!!) 

OOH RAH CAPTAIN ELLIS! :)
