Halloween Time

Here's a few random photos from this month.  It's been a fun and busy month.  Our days have been filled with pre-k, soccer practice, ballet practice, lots of Halloween/Fall activities, and hanging with some great friends.  My Grandma and Mom came to visit for a week in October.  AJ was sick the whole time, but other than that we had a great visit. 

AJ is recovering from double ear infections right now.  It's his first time being sick since moving back to WA. 

We move next month!!!  Already time to move again!  We will be home for a few weeks and then we will be off to Arizona for a short, but new little adventure. 

It's been great having Mo back home.  AJ is in love with his daddy, they are always playing around together.  AJ lights up when Mo walks in the room.  It's been nice to see since I was a little worried about the two of them bonding again with Mo being gone for so long. 

Gracie is enjoying her School, and she just finished up her soccer season.  She is loving Ballet and this week she is going to start cheerleading(God help us)

Wanted to get a quick little update out there.  I will write some more very soon.  Hope everyone is doing well and enjoying this amazing time of year.  So happy that its Holiday time....my favorite time of the year:)

Lots of Love, bri

Update on CPT Mo!!

Morgan is doing well right now.  He is getting things packed up to leave Afghanistan!!!!  It feels so good to type that finally!  He will be flying into WA around the middle of next month.  We will be there to welcome him home and then we have to stay until the end of July for there big welcome home ceremony and a ball that we have to attend.  We will then make our drive back to CA...making a few stops along the way to see friends:) 
Mo was officially promoted to Cpt. at the beginning of the month.  I think this is the first promotion that he is kinda proud of since being commissioned.  He seems to be doing really good though.  He can hardly wait to get home and just drink a beer :)  He doesn't even care what kind of beer, just a beer.

As for me and the kids....STAYING BUSY as always.  I think I've purposely stayed super busy this month in hopes that the time will go by quickly for us.  Our next trip is a quick trip up north to hang a few days with my bestie. 

I think that's about it for now.

lots of love to you all!

Quick B-Field Trip

We took a day trip over to B-field yesterday.  OMG it was HOT there!!  We went to my Uncle's egagement party, and we had a great time....lots of fun.  It was a super short trip, but it's always nice to see family and catch up.

Also....Kyle had to go back to the Stan this morning so I snapped a quick family photo of the Hackett Fam before the headed to the airport.

Mo is coming home NEXT MONTH!!!!  It is so strange to finally say that.  We are counting down the days.  He is doing really good, just hanging in there and trying to survive his last month deployed.  We will be heading up to the base next month to greet him, and then we will drive back home and spend the rest of the time with friends and fam.....good stuff! 

OUCH!

Miss Gracie took a little fall in our backyard today :(  She got scraped up pretty good.  She wanted me to take a picture for Mo to see, so here is her boo-boo....poor girl
