He's almost done...

 Jon comes home in 2 weeks and 2 days!! He will have been gone for 5 1/2 months. I can't even begin to explain how excited I am. I just got back from visiting him last weekend and it was the best weekend I've had in a long time. It was so good to see him and actually get to spend some time with him off base. I was also able to meet some of the friends he's made. He's made some pretty good friends. We did some shopping, watched some movies, hung out with some of his buddies and just relaxed. I forgot to take pictures, but then again we didn't do a whole lot worth taking pictures of. So I'll just post a few of him in the past little while.

Here's the picture of him that was in the Jubilee of Trees. George Washington Academy did a patriotic tree and my nieces go there, so they brought a pic of him. It says 

"PVT Jonathan Evertsen 

308th Medical Company 

Serving in South Carolina 

Uncle of Emma and Hanna Lindhardt"

They are now given off base passes on the weekend and a couple weeks ago they went to Wal Mart and Jon found this cowboy hat. So of course he had to buy it.

 Ready to party :)

He only has 1 1/2 weeks of school left, then out processing, graduation and then he's on his way home. Dec 15 (or 16th ish). I have a feeling these next couple weeks are going to drag on and on. :)

A few of Taeg's

Grandma gave T a cupcake for breakfast

 and he absolutely loved it!

 I bet you'd never guess these two are cousins.. haha

T and Lucas

 He's so happy right after bath time.

 Grandpa put him on uncle Russ's motorcycle and since then he thinks he needs to sit on every bike he sees.

 Bundled up for the first time all year....so cute!

 Owl beanie

 He's in the  "do it myself" stage and it's driving me crazy. It wouldn't be bad if he could do it right, but he still hasn't quite figured it out and he makes a HUGE mess trying to get the spoon to his mouth. But he insists none the less...and this is the end result.

 So I ended up putting him in the sink to clean him off.

Halloween

Yes I know this is almost a month late. I've been such a slacker. Blogging has been on my to do list but just at the very bottom and for some reason I've been dreading doing it. But, I finally decided I needed to bit the bullet and do it. So here it is....

Taegen looked so cute in his little Army uniform. The one he's wearing is a little small for him, so I had Jon send me one from on base. It was supposed to show up on Halloween day from UPS, so I was thinking it'd be here around 3 or so. Oh boy was I wrong. It didn't show up until 7:30. We were already out trick or treating by then. So it was almost a waste. I say almost because I still LOVE it and plan on having him wear it when we go pick up daddy from the airport. They'll be twinners and it'll be so cute! I'm so excited (Only 22 more days!!!!)

Trick-or-treating at the mall

 After the first couple houses of trick-or-treating T just wanted to sit in the stroller and eat his sucker. It was past his bedtime and he was so exhausted in this picture.

 We took the kids to the little pumpkin patch on bluff street to get some pictures. I couldn't get a shot of Taeg's smiling for the life of me...but here's some anyways.

 Lucas was not enjoying it as much as Taeg's and Berk's
