Eventful Days

Well lately we have been just getting things ready to leave here and head back to the good ole USA!!!! Cleaning, packing, making appointments; you know this is a process! Caden was playing with Taylor and the neighbors child and they got rough and Caden fell and busted his head. At first I thought okay its just scratched a bit and there is just all this blood but he is fine. Then I cleaned the blood off and I saw this!

Then I moved his hair back and saw this.......

So we were on our way to the hospital, which is about 20 minutes away, and our faithful neighbor comes out and says he called the Aid station for his unit and they were ready and willing to fix him up right away. So we went right down the road and took him. The man that fixed my baby was so nice. I was concerned because of dealing with the unexpected, but this man knew what he was doing. My baby boy sat there all big in his daddy's lap as he cleaned and stapled him up. Of course he yelled a bit, but nothing like I expected he would! He is a tough little man.

So after we got back home he wanted to see his staples so I took a picture for him to see.

I hope this didn't gross you out that much!

Today, 24 hours later, he is running around acting like nothing happened. Michael is wanting him to be extra careful but hey he is a 4 year old boy, how careful is he really going to be!

On a lighter note, we have made reservations for our temporary lodging here and at our destination. So we will not be homeless for a little while anyway! I just hope this flight goes smoothly! It is such a long flight and we haven't made it since Jessi has gotten older. The flights before she just slept, but I am thinking that is not going to happen this time! I guess we will find out next month!

Hope I haven't bored you too much! Until next time, have a blessed day!

Great 4th of July

Well yesterday was the 4th of July. We all celebrate our independence in different ways. Our family had a cookout with friends and had a great time. We started in the back yard on the slip n slide with good food and music, then went to the lake for a little play time. Here are a few shots for your viewing pleasure!

Enjoying the day!

Bella

We have gained a new family member. Her name is Bella and she is almost 3 years old. She has been with many families and now she has finally found a home! She has only been with us for about a month now, but she has left her paw print on our family! She will forever be a member in our family! So without anymore waiting, I give you Bella! This photo has been entered in a Pet contest on I Heart Faces.

New Things on the Horizon.....

Okay, so today I thought WOW I have a blog! I haven't been on here in like a year or more. So here I am with a little update. I have stopped digi scrapping because of lack of time. I have always had a passion for photography so I am taking that to the next step, as it is more portable. Maybe one day I can get back into scrapping but for now I will just be posting pictures and updates on life.

Taylor has now finished the 1st grade! WOW right?! Caden will be starting Pre-K in the fall and Jessi is running around here like she is in charge. We are still in Germany for another couple of months, then we are off to Washington state!

Okay, so here are some of the latest photos I have taken!

Jessi

Taylor

Caden

Hope you enjoyed! Until next time!

Lookeeeee What I did......

Twice in the same month, I may be on a role. LOL

So I've been trying to get my mojo back... I joined a new site, nothing wrong with the old ones just found a new one to be a part of, got some new kits and scrapped a couple of pages. With Jessi scooting around its easier for me to do things that don't require holding her.

So here is my latest work:

Jessi's First Christmas kit: Frosty Chocolate by Babydoll Scrapz




Jessi's First Picnic kit: Spring Breeze by Babydoll Scrapz




Jessi's First Easter kit: Breath of Fresh Air by Babydoll Scrapz




Ok so that is it for now. Maybe I will get back on my scrapping track now. Hope you enjoyed! Have a great day!

I am still alive!!

Sorry I haven't been on the blog lately. I have a lot going on and have not found the time to do any scrapping or blogging. So I got a minute tonight and decided to update!

The weather is finally getting nice and we can go outside again most days. Baby girl has had a fever for no apparent reason and the doctor couldn't even find out what the heck was going on. She is better now but for about 4 days it sucked bad around here. Taylor and Caden are doing fine. Taylor got his report card the other day and is doing GREAT! I am so proud of him and I find myself telling him so much he is probably tired of hearing it, LOL Caden is learning too. He knows all of his colors and shapes and we (Taylor and I) are working on teaching him his ABC's. Taylor is so proud to be able to help teach him.

With summer approaching and school winding down with this deployment:) we are gearing up for some traveling. I want to see some of this beautiful country. Taylor and Caden are wanting to see a 'real' castle they say. So I have some castles in the plans! Who knows what else we are going to be doing. I will fill you in on all the details as the come up!

On a heavier note, I am in need of some prayers. My nephew has had many brain surgeries all of his 12 years of life. He recently had a life threatening situation and had to have a major surgery. He usually bounces back rather quickly but this time he hasn't. Please keep Rain in your thoughts and prayers. Hopefully he will go home from the hospital on Monday!

Hope all is well with your families and hope you have a great week! Until next time.......

It's Time

Ok, so I haven't done any scrapping or blogging in a while. Sorry! I have been kind of down and we are all sick too. First, it was me, then Caden, Taylor and now Jessi. And it sucks BAD!

We have now started 'the countdown', we have 8 weeks left until the return of Michael. If we were told the truth, that is! So we are preparing the house for a celebration! When Jessi sees his photo she gets all excited so hopefully she 'll know him.

So sickness and readying the house has NOT stopped my camera from flashing so I have lots of photos to scrap. So I was checking some out last night and this is what I came up with. Hope you like them. All work is done with kits from Dee's Delightful Designs.

Love Always kit

Until next time............. Have a great day!
