HOOAH!!!

YAY!!! My husband graduated Army Basic Combat Training on 10-1-10 at Ft Sill in Lawton, OK! It seems like such a long time coming because we have known about this since April. And we are so very proud of him! He has been gone since July 21st and still has 6 more weeks of AIT. He said we should find out where our first assignment will be sometime around the end of next week. So keep your fingers crossed it will be somewhere great! We would LOVE to get Alaska, Hawaii or Germany, but we will see where they want us! I have heard MANY people say "It's the Army...Hurry up and wait", so I guess I need to get used to this. That will be a HUGE change for me because as some of you know I am not good at waiting!

Other breaking news in the Yancey household...Silas is 100% potty trained!! A select few of you know exactly what I am talking about. Silas and I discussed this next step, well it was more of me telling him, but we are now COMPLETELY done with that phase! And I must say he is so very proud of himself. He said "that's not scary like I thought". This is VERY big news around here, we can't stop talking about it. And yes, I was one of those mothers who took a picture of this final step and sent it to Daddy and he was elated! I just can't for the life of me figure out why it took so long for him. I guess it is true when they say boys take a lot longer than girls!

More breaking news...Taylor passed her drivers test Tuesday on her first try! I didn't have any doubts, but I was so nervous for her (she said her foot was shaking on the brake and the gas pedal in her car)! I know what it would have been like around here had she not passed, so it's a good thing she did! She is a driving machine. She has already started looking for a job and is hoping she can still volunteer at the Woman's Shelter.



Homecoming is this weekend. I'm pretty sure in an earlier post I said that Taylor is all ready for it. The powder-puff game is tonight as well as the bonfire, the parade and the game is tomorrow (Friday) and the dance is Saturday. She is very excited! The Cameron Dragons are playing the Bishop LeBlond Eagles (St. Joseph, Mo). Cameron is not doing that well this season, we lost some great players due to graduation (go figure!). We are hoping to advance on our 0-5 record...maybe we can with the Eagles, they are 0-6. Fingers crossed we will pull out a victory, that will put everyone in a good mood! I will post pictures of Taylor in her dress soon...I still can't believe she is so grown up. It seems like it was just yesterday I was changing her diapers...

I hope everyone has a good finish of the week and has a great weekend!! And sorry Pops that it has been a little while since my last post!! I will try to do better! haha
