SIbling Love

I absolutely love how much my kids love each other!

It warms my heart to see them have such a close relationship.

I am going to do everything I can to foster that love.

5 Year Wedding Anniversary

Dinner at BJ's

Bocci Ball at the park! THe Hollisters

new Friday night tradition

Being the family of a soldier isn't always easy

Daddy has missed Birthdays, anniversaries,

lots of holidays

but we are greatful for his service and will

always be here waiting for him to come home

and take his boots off

On Daddys Boots

Daddy is going TDY again. Thankfully we just heard today that it has been shorted and he will only be gone a little over a week this time! We all sure do miss daddy when he's gone. Such is life, as a military child and wife.

And So it Begins!

   Thank you for coming along on our journey! Im going to do my very best to post somewhere between daily and weekly. If you ever find yourself thinking, ' i wonder what the Hollisters are up to?' Stop on by and ill try to have something interesting or informational to read!  Feel free to comment on anything you read.
   A lot of people are curious as to my motives for the seemingly abrupt discontinuance in participation of facebook. Here's the skinny. Id rather have 10 close friends who genuinely care about what's going on in our lives and who will be there to share our highs and lows, than 500 'friends' who don't even know my children's names. I figure as a society we need to somewhat get back to the basics. Who can honestly say they dont smile when they get a letter or card in the mail saying they are thought of and loved? I can't change society. But I can change me. I vow to try to commit to my friendships and relationships and really reach out and strengthen the bonds I have formed. And create new ones as well.
   If you're reading this you obviously made the first step. So I promise, if ever you need a friend or family member, im here. I will do whatever i can to prove my love.
  My home is always open, and the coffee is always warm. Here we go on a new journey! Welcome to the Hollisters Handbook for Hooligans!
