Hello everyone! I'm so very sorry if you think I have been ignoring you. I HAVE NOT, I Promise. We are crazy busy right now getting ready for Brett's deployment. Any days we have to spend with Daddy are spent with him and only him. If you notice the the time of this Blog you will think I'm nuts, but it's the only time I have for blogging now :( Today we spent the whole day at the Family Readiness meeting. WOW, I did not realize how much paperwork this was going to take. We do have a Huge Support group. I even volunteered to help out on the FRG. That's Family Readiness Group. You all know me always ready to help! We have A LOT to do before Brett leaves. My load is not as crazy as HIS! Poor guy. Please keep him in your prayers. He will be at the Base this week and the girls and I plan on visiting during the week. This coming weekend we are headed to Santa Cruz for the 4th of July! One last Family Vacation before he's gone! The girls are soo excited, so am I! I will not be updating my blog during this time. Brett will be gone July 19-29, so at that time I will get back to you all. I'm just trying to stay positive and support my husband. I'm proud of what he is doing and who he is! I can't begin to express how blessed we are to have him! Please continue to keep us in your prayers. Love you all!

Has Anyone Seen My Teeth?

As you can all see Madyson has lost ANOTHER tooth! We are still trying to figure out how she is able to eat, but beleive me it does not slow her down. It was quite funny when she lost this last tooth. It was loose for the longest time but she would not let us pull it. Thursday night it took place. The Conversation went something like this.

Mady "Oh No It's Gone"

Mommy "What's Gone?"

Mady "My Tooth"

Mommy " Great we can put it under your pillow"

Mady " No I can't find it"

Mommy "Where is it?"

Mady "I don't know but I must find or I won't get any money"

Mommy "Maybe you swallowed it"

Mady "I know I did not swallow it, It's got to be here somewhere"

Mommy "You can write the tooth fairy a note"

Mady "We must find it" (sobbing)

Once we wrote the tooth fairy a note and she got her money she was fine. I think she swallowed it. Too funny. She sure does make us laugh and enjoy life.

WOW, It's been a busy week. Vacation Bible School was soooooooo much fun, but so much work. The girls had a blast. I ran the Nursery and it was a lot of work but I loved every minute of it. The girls and unpacking the house has kept me real busy. Brett has been gone almost three weeks and we miss him so very much. We pick him up from the Airport Tuesday. We are so excited. He will be home for two weeks and then off again. He leaves July 19 for Iraq. It's a Leaders Recon meeting. He will come home July 29 and then leave again for training August 3:( We are taking the girls to the Ocean for the July 4th weekend! Madyson is so excited. It's an early celebration for her Birthday since Daddy will be gone on her Birthday. I'll be honest, the last three weeks have been difficult for me. The girls seem to be doing better than me. I asked Mady if she misses her Daddy and she said YES. I asked her why she has not cried and she said "I'm trying to be a Big Girl!" I almost lost it. Why can't I be that strong? I admit there are a lot of tears, but I have found that God will give me the strength to make it through this. Thank you for all your prayers and support !

WOW! It's only been a week since Daddy has been gone and we miss him so very much. We talk to him briefly every other day. He's so busy. Please keep him in your prayers. The girls are doing good being back home. Mady had a play date with her good friend Sierra today. That made her day. Chloe went to Aaron's house for a playdate. It was nice I only had one child at a time today! I need those breaks once in awhile. I'm slowly but surely getting the house all unpacked. Moving back into the house you moved out of is very interesting. I'm doing things a lot different now. A new beggining! We went to our old Church on Sunday, Calvary Chapel Valley Springs and it was great. The girls did real well getting back into the routine. Thank you everyone for welcoming us back! We have missed you. VBS is next week and the girls are soooooooo excited. I'm doing the nursery. It should be real fun. I can get my baby fix.

Here's a funny Mady story for you. Mady said "look Mom I have a new freckle, I must be obeying". There is a story behind that one. It was real cute. Brett told Chloe and Mady that you get freckles from Obeying and Chloe said "THAT'S NOT FAIR" obviously she does not have any freckles. Now Mady thinks that's how she gets new freckles. What can I say Brett is a stinker. He makes us all laugh. (We miss you Daddy)

WOW, what a great day! Madyson's last day of school was a good one. In the morning Chloe and I worked in the classroom. In the afternoon we had a little going away party for Madyson. ALL the First Graders joined in on that one. I made her a scrapbook that everyone could sign and they all did. She is now offically a 2nd Grader! How did that happen. It seems just yesterday she was learning to crawl. Tomorrow morning we leave for Valley Springs! The girls are very excited and so am I. I'm just not looking forward to all the work ahead of me. At least we will be home in our own house! Daddy has been gone since Tuesday and we have not been able to talk much. Please keep my strength in your prayers. God Bless You all! I'm so blessed to have such wonderful people in my life.

Boy have I been busy! The girls and I took Daddy to the airport Tuesday morning. We miss him so much. I have been packing up and getting ready to move back home. It's a lot of work moving! YIKES! How we managed to get all this stuff into one little house is beyond me. I have also been busy playing single Mom! It's exhasuting but all worth it! My girls are going to help me through the next year. They are such a light to me. God is my strenghth and he will sustain me!
Today is Mady's last day of school. She is so very excited. Her class is having a going away party for her. I'm so glad they all love her so much. I will post some pictures later. Oh no look at the time........Have a Great Day:)

Well it's June 1st and daddy leaves June 3rd for Texas. WOW, time sure does fly by when you don't want it too. Today was uneventful. We went to Church this morning and then did some yard work with Nana. Brett is at work and the girls and I are winding down for the night. Mady is pretty excited she only has 4 days of school left!!!!! We are moving home June 6th. Soon we will back home to our very own space. Very exciting, but scary for me. Brett will gomne pretty much all the time now. I will have to learn to suck it up and keep moving on. The Lord will give me the strenghth! I must get the girls to bed.
