Our oldest TAra is a sailor. Dean and I had the best day in Chicago with our sailor. She had tons of food, coffee-all the things she couldn’t have did ten weeks. Now off to train for Air Rescue for the next year. It was incredibly hard watching her walk away from us tonight. We’re so proud of our 21 year old (turned 21 in boot camp) @tbw_dynamite #navy #navysailor #bootcampgraduation #ourdaywithtara #chicago
She’s the tiny one holding the blue flag. The Guidon I am told.
The Navy graduation was beautiful! Incredibly precise, it brought tears to my eyes to finally see my baby.
Navy Pier with Chicago in the background. Dean and I spent two additional days in Chicago, we loved it that much. So clean, and the ARCHITECTURE! Wow!
Navy Pier with Mom and Dad. I was 24 when I had Tara, Dean was 23. We have 4 girls now Tara 21, Reese 18, Kameryn 16 (almost 17), and Drew 14. The boot camp journey was more difficult on our end then I was expecting. I didn’t expect the emotions that we experienced but Dean and I did it together, and have grown even more close - if that were possible.
Mama and T
Chicago River Walk…a MUST
We HAD to find sushi! We’re Californians. Me being the Mama that I am made her put three napkins over her white uniform. Soy sauce stains BAD!
I snuck this. It tugged at my heart strings watching them walk together
