Teaching Hudson how to suck on the rocks

Showing some couisinly love

Just a super cute picture of my boy!

I thought since I had done a post on Little Will and his cousins that I would need to do one of Baby James and his cousins.  Baby James liked meeting all of his cousins, he just didn't understand how exciting they were as much as his brother did.  He'd get very upset whenever mommy would hold baby Hudson.  Even to the point that when I was holding Hudson he came over acting all sweet and then he bit him!!! 

No videos!!

So yesterday I tried to post a video of James walking, because Hello!  What could be cuter?  Right?  Put for some reason blogspot wont upload a video from a mac.  They sent me to a help center and from what I could tell there wasn't anyone who knew how to make it work.  When William gets home tomorrow he said he'd look into some way to cheat the system, such as posting the video on You Tube and then copying it from there.  Hopefully we will find a way todo that.  I know that it would be a total bummer not to be able to post videos of the boys here.  Especially with James first birthday coming!  But for the next little bit there will be no more videos.  If anyone else know how to make it happen please feel free to let me know!

Lil'Will and his cousins!

So Little Will is madly in love with idea of cousins.  He has loved is Cousin Trent and his cousins Hunter and Alyssa, when we lived in South Carolina.  Well, ever since we went to New York he has cousin fever.  He can not get enough cousins.  They are friends who love to play as much as he does!  And they are the same size and age as him!  There is nothing  better in this world.  They are almost as good as grandparents!  He is constantly asking if he can go and play with his cousins.  He is also always getting his phone and calling a cousin.  Most of the time it is cousin Mason.  We laugh that his cousin Mason is going to be getting in trouble for going over his cell phone minutes if Lil'Will ever gets a hold of his number!  One day he was on his phone and I asked him who he was talking to and he told me his cousin Myles.  I asked him what they were talking about, because it was a very animated phone conversation, even for  two year old!  He told me they were talking about batman and spiderman, then quickly turned around and continued his conversation!!  So cute! 

This  is cousin Silas with the boys in the bath.

Silas and Lil'Will playing in the rain.  Cousin Ella was kind enough to let Lil'Will borrow her pink rain jacket.

Ella and Lil'Will walking in the Bronx.  Lil'Will went straight up to her and grabbed her hand.  It was very sweet.

All the Juenger Cousins!

It was almost like looking in a mirror!

Some recent pictures of William and the boys

So here are some pictures of William and the boys before he left for his cpec (sniper school)  class.  For those of you who don't know he quit that class after a few days when he discovered that they have to have 270 hours of extra training a year.  This means that you have to do this training on your off time.  There was a man there training with them who was using his vacation days to keep up his certification.  When William realized how much time he would have to devote to it he decided that he didn't like it that much.  So he quit.  It came as a surprise to all of us.  He had a perfect score when he left so he was given some slack from the instructors.  I was glad to have him home though.  We only had him for a week before he left again. This time he is gone for a week.  He is basicly there so the teachers can be certified to teach them when they go for their actual training before they deploy.  We miss him terribly.  Lil'Will is having the hardest time because his daddy always puts him to bed.  It is their own private time.  Well, Tuesday night was an especially hard time so yesterday I went through some of the pictures and printed them out and put them right next to his bed.  He told me that they made him very happy.  Since I was going through them I thought that I would post some of them here.

Lil'Will and his favorite person in the whole world!

Baby James and his daddy

They love to drink out of daddy's camelbak!

It is a constant fight.  Who can drink from it more?  As you can see Lil'Will usually wins.

We are New York bound!

So we are super excited about leaving in a few days for New York!! It has been a roller coaster of a trip already. Williams squadron was supposed to have an inspection the week of the New York trip so it was going to be just me and the boys. Then they postponed the inspection for the end of June so they were allowing leave again. We put in for it right away and last week we were told that he could not get leave due to the few solidiers who had gone to Iraq weren't going to be allowed to work until that Saturday. So they would be a man short. So I was back to going again with just the boys and then yesterday He calls up and tells me that he will be going to New York with us!!! I am so excited. A new guy will be coming from Tech School so he can take Will's place!!! Lil'Will is also very excited to go. Yesterday we were at the super awesome playground and its near the airport, so there were all these airplanes flying over us. Lil'Will was very excited about the planes and kept telling me about them, So I told him that we were going to be riding on a plane on Wednesday to go see Papaw. Well that made him very happy. So fast forward to this morning. He got up and came and found me getting ready for church, so while I was getting ready we made small talk. I then asked him where we were going today, since we were going to go to church, one of his most favorite places. He then responded that we were going to ride in the plane to go to Papaw's house! He was very excited and started to make all sorts of animal sounds, since Papaw has a cow and goats! When I told him that we have three more days until we leave for Papaw's house he started to cry! William told me that is what I get for telling him about Papaw's house to early. Needless to say our family is excited for a family vacation. We haven't had one since before William joined the military! I hope to continue adding posts while we are gone so look for updates.
