The Mr. on TV!

Well actually the clip from our local news features a few other swimmers in our Coast Guard shop. These guys are just so humble and most absolutely hate the attention of interviews and being on TV. They practically draw straws to figure out who HAS to be on TV. Totally crazy huh? I sure wish my guy would volunteer more often, I would love more pics and clips for mama's scrapbook and blog! I think the video does a great job showing what the Mr. does on a daily basis and wanted to share it with you!

Day at the Air Show

Look at the happy little family at The Mr.'s Coast Guard Air Show today

And

this is more like us.....

Or this....

When will the day come that our daughter will find us embarrassing? Just around the corner I'm sure! To be or not to be? A dork that is! I think we have decided to fully embrace our role as a dorky dad and a wacky mom. Let us all unite and fill our homes with silly laughter, crazy dances, and weird british accents! Hey the kids might roll their eyes in public but I'm pretty sure a little smile lurks behind their gasp. One day these will be the memories they cherish.

Welcome Aboard!

Welcome aboard friends! I'm so thrilled to begin our journey (or should I say voyage) into the exciting life I call "The Mrs. to the Rescue". That's right, I'm the Mrs., the loving and oh so supportive wife of my hero, The Mr.

The Mr. is a Coast Guard Rescue Swimmer, on call and ready for high adrenaline rescues at all times! Our life as a Rescue Swimmer family is filled with excitement, thrills, and daring escapes. Do you catch my sarcasm? We like to think were funny, love to laugh & live hard, and frankly I'm the one doing most of the rescues around here!

Seriously though, we are a proud Coast Guard family and represent one of the many that sacrifice to fulfill the call. The call to help when no one else can, to spend nights alone when our other half is on duty, to raise our children far from their grandparents, to scrape by paycheck to paycheck, and to pick up and move your entire life every 4 years.

Well it's a life we embrace and try our best to sail through it. Ok, that's about all the nautical double entendres I can drum up for one day so I'll leave you for now. Anchors away! (I could not resist)
