WE LOVE MORENO VALLEY

Today Shawn found out that he will be a Marine Corps Recruiter in the beautiful city of Moreno Valley! Thank you everyone for the prayers...we couldn't be happier. We had no idea where we might be stationed. We could have been stationed anywhere in the United States and with a lot of luck and a lot of Shawn sucking up to the right people, we are one of the lucky families who get to stay in the area we already live in. The commute is just about the same as he's been doing now (maybe even a little less of a commute).

Shawn will get a company car, cell phone and gas card, BUT these items can only be used for work related things. He doesn't get to take the car home, but it's still great.

Just as an update on Shawn's recruiting classes...he was 5th place in the fitness/running section, and 2nd in his group during the communications/public speaking class. He also recently scored 97% on a written test. Shawn doesn't like to brag about stuff, but I like to brag about him!

Oh yeah, he also just got selected for a promotion. Next year he will be "Staff Sergeant Sundquist"

Melissa and Ashton's Visit

This weekend we had Melissa and Mr. Ashton come for a visit! Mr. Ashton and Kiley were sort of friends, but they have completely different personalities. Mr. Ashton just wants to play, have fun and smile all the time and Kiley just wants Mr. Ashton to leave her alone. She is a total beast sometimes, but I still love her.

We could regularly find Joe in the same spot doing
the same thing...all weekend long.

Little Einsteins

Kiley apparently loves the show The Little Einsteins.

Whatever it is she is doing, she immediately stops and stares at the t.v. when the show comes on. Once the music stops, she might go back to playing or crawling or eating or whatever, but for a few minutes she cannot be distracted from her Little Einsteins.
