This was another haunted ride.
This is a roller coaster shaped like the olympic rings.
These are the traditional Oktoberfest suits that the men wear but I also saw women wearing them, like you see in this picture.
These are the dresses that the women wear as a tradition.
LOL!!!! This is Scott's funny Oktoberfest hat..hahaha!!!

This is the opening day Parade for Oktoberfest 2008.
This is a Haunted house ride they had set up. The rides were so cool looking of course I could not ride because of Olivia and Scott could not ride because he can't handle the motion. So we just watched.
Some more rides and people
Me and Scott in our traditional Oktoberfest hats..Do we look German??? LOL!!

entering Oktoberfest
in Munich,Germany.

This is a popular festival food especially at Oktoberfest, its fish on a stick. This is it cooking.
The beer swallowed Scott!!!! LOL!! This is Scott enjoying the tradition of Oktoberfest!
Well I couldn't take part of the tradition so I pretended!! haha!!

fatty and rock in the park

Hello everyone!! I know Amy is getting ready to fall in the floor because this is two days in a row I have blogged...lol..I love you Amy!!! Well what you see here is our little boy Fatty getting his pill with cheese at night...he goes nutts untill I give it to him and he knows that he gets it after he goes potty at night and right before bed...So he will drive me crazy till he gets it..I made the mistake of getting my mom's dogs in this routine also while I was staying with her. She tells me Isabelle drives her crazy wanting her pill and cheese too.. OK on to the good stuff the other pictures you see is mine and Scott's first cultural experience with the Germans... So Saturday night on our way home from bowling we saw and heard live music,( FYI the Germans love American music that is mostly all they listen to they especially love music that we would say is terrible and they love the 80's hair bands) so we parked the car and walked up to the park we then saw this wanna be 80's hairband cover band come out on stage...Of course Scott and I start laughing..they were pretty entertaining..they had a lot of beer (its Germany what do you expect) another unusual thing to me was I saw like teenagers that looked like they were no more than 15 years old walking around drinking beer...All the Germans just drink their beer and have a good time no one was getting hostile or wanting to fight unlike us Americans we get drunk and wanna fight any and everybody...lol..not all of us of course. well I included pictures of the band from Rock in the Park an some shots of the Germans...I miss everybody..

My life's excitement

So the time is getting closer and closer and soon we will get to meet our little Olivia Grace. We are both getting really excited, I am really nervous. Scott claims he is not nervous at all (I don't really believe that and neither does his mother we think he is probably scared s***tless ha ha!!) but us women all know a man will never admit fear. I go for my first OB visit on Wed in Weiden (that's the city of the hospital I will be giving birth in). We also will have our hospital tour that night where we will see the birthing pool I will be having Olivia in. Well I got my US forces driving licence last week so I can now drive all over Europe. YAY!! the base has a wonderful gym, its so nice. Ever since I got my licence on Wed I have been getting up at 4:30am making breakfast for Scott and I and then we leave the house at 5:45am and I drive him to work he goes to formation at 6:30am and then I go to the gym and do the Elliptical machine for 45min and then the treadmill for 45min. Scott gets to the gym around 6:45am to do his PT but I don't see much of him. Last week I sat with him in his company because our car broke on us and we had to put it in the shop all day, so that was not exciting for me at all. I the gym offers a prenatal yoga class that I will start on wed. So hopefully that will be exciting. I have 2 FRG (family readiness group) activities next week with all the wives of Scott's Company which should be fun and hopefully I will meet some friends. Scott and I have been enjoying bowling and going to movies on base for weekend activities. He has found a new passion for playing bass guitar, I think he is really good and he just learned about 1 month ago. He just got a good deal on a new Guitar on-line so he is patiently waiting for that to come in the mail..I have broke down and taken a picture of my fat belly for everybody's entertainment so i hope you all enjoy it.lol... This is my belly at almost 31 weeks..my pants are too big for me that why they look funny not to mention i pulled them down..Stay tuned there are many more adventures in store for me and for you all to read about...

I am in GERMANY!!!!!!!!

This is a road sign to base.

This is a tower on base that Hitler used to stand on top off to command his army. (that is what Scott told me)

Hey everybody I know I have not blogged in a while. Sorry !!

Well I am excited about being in Germany our Apt is beautiful and huge...I will take pictures and show them later.. I have my first doctors visit with my German doctor on September 3 @ 2pm. I am excited.. I hear that I will have a mid-wife during my labor and delivery. Oh I have a phone that I can be reached at if you call me you have to dial the number exactly as listed
011-49-1-51546678197..My phone is a Blackberry so I can send a recieve emails at anytime and they go straight to my phone. My email is hoppinvblefty@yahoo.com... I also have Skype with a webcam to communicate my name on Skype is armybratsmama. I think I am going to like it here.The change is going to take getting used to. Well I will be on here more often because I hav othing better to do..I love everybody and miss you all terriably..

Well Amy tagged me and can you believe it I am actually participating.....So I am supposed to take a picture of something in my house that tells a special story and as you all know I am in between residences awaiting to move to Germany and not to mention I am in Indy visiting my sissy so I substituted my house for hers. I choose Amy as my item in "my" house that tells a special story in my life. Amy has always been my inspiration ever since I was itty bitty I always wanted to be just like her and she hated it...needless to say it only brought us closer. I am so thankful for the wonderful sister I have in my life. The coolest part to this story is we both are pregnant and due exactly 2 months apart and we are going to be sharing the most wonderful and miraculous gift God could give so close together and I am truly thrilled about that. I love you Amy!!!!




The next item to do was to photograph items in my purse I can't live without and I would say it would be my hand cream, Tylenol because since my pregnancy I have headaches all the time, Tums for that wonderful heartburn being prego brings, of course my phone that's my life all in one, and my newest addition to my purse i cant live without are airheads I am addicted to them now. There is one thing missing but he can't fit in my purse and he is so for from me but if he could fit it would be my wonderful husband Scott. I love you Baby..and miss you so much!!!

Well now I have to tag someone and I am going to tag my Mommy Karen and I know she is looking at this saying "I don't have a blog Courtney!" and guess what mom this means you have to start a blog. I need to keep up with you while I am in Germany so get to Ma I hope to see it up and running pronto!!!
