2nd Lieutenant Brett Hernandez

Brett officially commissioned on August 22, 2008. Yeah for Brett! The last two years of hard work are finally paying off! We are so proud of him! Super-Duper proud!

I pledge ALLEGIANCE to the flag

of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

and to the REPUBLIC, for which it stands,

ONE nation, under GOD,

INDIVISIBLE,

with LIBERTY and JUSTICE for ALL.

"Experience teaches us that it is much easier to prevent an enemy from posting themselves than it is to dislodge them after they have got possession." - George Washington

"It may be laid down as a primary position, and the basis of our system, that every Citizen who enjoys the protection of a Free Government, owes not only a proportion of his property, but even of his personal services to the defense of it." George Washington

That is why I am proud to have my husband, the father of my children, serve this country. In the words of Toby Keith: " I don't want to die for you, but if dying's asking me, I'll bear that cross with honor 'cause freedom don't come free."

FAMILY PICTURE TIME!!

We had Maddy's 3 year old pictures done and got some of the family too! Here they are!

So as not to leave anyone out, here's baby Jack.

Cutest little 3 year old in the whole wide world!

Liberty's First Day of Preschool

Liberty started her second year of preschool today. Once again, like last year, she was super excited to go back to her teacher and her friends!

We are so proud of our little Liberty!

Madison's First Day of Preschool

Maddy started preschool today! I can't believe she is already old enough for this - but she is so ready! We are excited for her!

Maddy getting ready

All ready to go! Isn't she the cutest?!

"You want me to go home, Mom? No way!"

She had so much fun at school that we had a pretty hard time getting her to leave!
