Forever...

Wow, it has been too long since I have updated this thing! This has been a crazy few months! We got put on the "Vulnerable" move list...and I should know by now NOTHING is certain in this job field, but a few weeks later we got taken off and we were told we would be here another 6 months to a year longer. I actually thought I would be a lot more upset than I am! I am actually a little relieved Kiley will start school here and I will be able to meet her teacher and be able to be so close to the school. I have also made friends here and am not ready to have to make new ones, lol!
Today it snowed here...FINALLY! Man it usually is already freezing and cold and would have snowed here tons, but today was the 2nd time it had snowed this winter. So it has been kinda weird without it. But it was so pretty, it was nice. The roads were awful, but that's just Montana for you...and the drivers have NO IDEA how to drive in this weather, it's awful! They drive insanely fast and they are surprised when they slide and wreck...I would say it's just commen sense, but ya never know, lol!
So our Ice rink is FINALLY opening here and Korry is Thrilled! Has already gone and gotten Kiley and Brendan skates, so cute! He is ecstatic that he will be able to teach them how to Ice Skate! I will be sitting on the side lines taking pictures! I am excited! I think Korry is going to try to become a ref. at some of the games. Since we don't have the money for him to play and right now he Definitely does not have the time, this is the next best thing! ;o)
Korry came home last week with tickets to the "Holiday" express, I guess it's Montana's version of the Polar Express! Kiley and Brendan...mostly Brendan, are SO Excited about it. My Mom will be here, so she will be able to come too, so it will be a Very memorable Night!
We're all ready for Christmas. I put the tree up and got all the presents wrapped and underneath it a week before Thanksgiving, Korry thought I was nuts! I was just so excited! We went to Denver for Thanksgiving, so we weren't going to be able to put it up when we usually do, so he finally helped me get it upstairs. I had a Blast and so did Kiley and Brendan!
WOW, this is LONG! I hope everyone had a Great Thanksgiving! I Will post pictures of our Christmas Decorations soon! We Love and Miss all of you who aren't here! Hope to hear from you soon! :o)

~Protect Marriage~

So, I know I am going to get some flak for writing this, but after seeing this video, I felt like I could not just sit there and let my voice not be heard! This is a touchy subject and I am not writing this to bash anyone, but I do feel like there is a voice that is not being heard because they are afraid of "Political Correctness". In my opinion Gay Marriage is wrong. I believe this because that's what the Bible teaches. My children will be brought up knowing this as well. I feel this is something that lies in the hands of Parents! I think schools who teach same sex marriage and give you no alternative are taking away my right as a parent to teach MY child. It is honestly one of the most horrifying things I have ever heard of ... that if my child goes to a school in a state where same sex marriage is legal that this WILL be part of their curriculum! They will send home books that teach this and I strongly disagree! There is no other option, you can't opt out or be notified when they teach these things. Because it's legalized it will be taught just like any other thing! They will not let us teach ANY sort of religion or even have a prayer,BUT they can teach this?!?! I watched this video and thought it was very informative! It's about a couple who lives in Massachusetts and sent there 5 YEAR OLD son to kindergarten and the school sent home a packet about diversity and there was a book about a homosexual couple. They are teaching this to FIVE YEAR OLDS!!! Since I have a 5 Year old, I know how impressionable they are and how things like this bring up questions. I know I am the one who should decide when and in what manner my child should learn about these things!

Right now in California there is a huge issue coming up on the ballot for election in November. As most of you probably know same sex marriage has been legalized in this state. Proposition 8 would overturn that decision. Many people think that this may not be that big of an issue, or that it is just a sign of the times and there is no point in fighting it. But it is a big issue and we need to fight for marriage. The consequences that come from allowing same sex marriage are much more than just a person's right to marry whom they choose. Gay marriage will be mandatory to teach in our schools to children as young as 5 years old. It also puts our churches at risk for attack. Churches will be sued for not allowing same sex marriages and possibly lose their tax exempt status, not to mention the lawsuits that would come from preaching against same sex marriage. We cannot allow this attack on marriage, families, our children and our churches. Right now there is a huge push for donations of time and money. They are running ads on television that are having a huge impact on voters. This is an issue that affects more than just California. Please visit www.protectmarriage.com to make a donation. Please do anything you can to help so that no matter the outcome of the vote you can feel good about where you stand.

I will be the first to say that I do not think this will stop in California! We need to take a stand now and not let it spread! I am sorry if this offends anyone! I have to protect my family and the values the bible teaches! Here is the link to the video about the family in Massachusetts. It's very enlightening, please take a few minutes and watch it!

Our Family is Growing by 2 Feet...



Yes it is true. We are adding another addition to our little family! I am 10 weeks pregnant! We are super excited! It has BY FAR been the hardest, most nauseating pregnancy this far, but hopefully as the "wonderful" first trimester ends, so will the nausea! Kiley and Brendan are both THRILLED and they got to see the baby during the ultrasound and they kept saying, "The Baby is on TV"! So that was Super Cute!! Anyway, I hope you all will keep all of us and this growing baby in your prayers, it would be Much appreciated! I hope you all have a Great week! :o)

Sunday, September 21, 2008

So we went to our first military ball this last weekend and it was SO much fun! I mean a "little" cheesy, like the grown-up prom or something, but it was a good time. The food was good and the company was fun too, the speaker was a waste of time! But the VERY fun part was the getting ready part, getting all dressed up, going on a grown up date with my husband that was LONG over-due AND we got to Dance!!! YAY! But going back to the getting ready part...I got to sit around that morning, take a shower and go to a salon and get my hair and make-up done and then just come home and get my dress on and GO! It was a lot of over-due pampering and a lot of needed fun! So anyway, I am glad we got to go! I think it will definetly be a yearly thing! So anyway, I hope you all had a Great weekend and I hope to hear from you all Very soon! Love and Miss you all who are not here in the Great Falls!!! TTYL!
**MUAH**

Scrapbooking...

SO I am leaving tomorrow for a weekend scrapbooking retreat. I swear, I am SO excited! I try to scrapbook once a week and still get NOTHING done! I am SO excited to have almost 3 WHOLE days to work on things and "hopefully" get caught up on Kiley & Brendan's scrapbooks. We shall see. I am sure all of you who don't do this kind of thing are like..."what the crap are you going to do ALL weekend long"...and the answer to that is EVERYTHING I can!!! LOL! The only down side to this is I am going to miss Kiley and Brendan SO much! This is the first time I have spent the night away from them since Kiley was born, other than 2 nights when Brendan was born...but I am nervous, but Extremely confident in Korry, so I think this has a bright side too, I think he will see a "TINY" bit of what I do all day long. SO we shall see what my house looks like when I return. I told him he had to take pictures of Kiley on Sunday morning...I am excited to see what in the world he will do with her hair, lol! I think he will do great though! He is excited. He wants to take them to the movies and to fly his airplane, we shall see how overwhelming the movie is...lol...stay tuned for updates next week. Anyway, I hope you all have a Great weekend and I hope to hear from you all soon! :o)

~All My Girls~

GIRLS IN MY CIRCLE
When I was little, I used to believe in the concept of one best friend.
And then I started to become a woman. And then I found out that if you allow your heart to open up, you will be shown the best in many friends.
One friend is needed when you're going through things with your partner.
Another friend is needed when you're going through things with your parents.
Another will sit beside you in the bleachers as you delight in your children and their activities. Another when you want to shop, share, heal, hurt, joke, or just be.
One friend will say, 'Let's cry together,' another, 'Let's fight together,' another, 'Let's walk away together.'
One friend will meet your spiritual need, another your shoe fetish, another your love for movies, another will be with you in your season of confusion, another will be your clarifier, another the wind beneath your wings.
But what ever their assignment in your life, on whatever the occasion, on whatever the day, or wher ever you need them to meet you with their gym shoes on and hair pulled back, or to hold you back from making a complete fool of yourself........
Those are the Best of friends It may all be wrapped up in one woman, but for many, it's wrapped up in several.....
one from 6th grade, one from high school, some from the college years, a couple from old jobs. On some days your mother.
On some days your neighbor.
On others, your sisters, cousins.
And on some days, your daughters.
So whether they've been your friend for 20 minutes or 20 years,
AND ONLY IF YOU'D LIKE TO,
pass this on to the women who have been placed in your life to make a difference,
And don't forget to send it back to the one who gave it to you,
if they have made a difference in your life

So Busy...

I don't even know where the last months have gone. All the sudden I haven't posted a blog since April and the summer is pretty much over! How did this happen?! Well I will give a brief re-cap on the last few months! We went to New Mexico to visit my Family there at the end of June first of July. It was a lot of fun! We had a Family Friend take our pictures with my sisters family, my mom and my Grandparents. They turned out great! We also got to take the kids to the zoo, Aquarium and Amusement Park (Cliffs) in Albuquerque. They had a blast! You take advantage of those things and think they're not that great until you live somewhere where there is NOTHING, lol! So we enjoyed that So much!
We had Brendan's Birthday party when we got back, the 19th of July. He had So much fun! We had it at Jumpers Gymnastics. He had about 12 kids there and they just got to run and play and wear themselves out for 2 hours, so it was a good nights sleep for all the kids AND the parents!
Then today we celebrated Kiley's 5th Birthday! CAN you believe it!? I can not believe she is 5 already! It seems like I blinked and Brendan turned 2 and she turned 5! But we had hers at S&L Bounce. It's a fun place with all these bouncers and she had about 14 kids and they all wore EVERYONE out! There was a boxing ring and even the parents got to get in on that action, lol! It was a lot of fun! She had a Disney Princess party and I am pretty sure EVERY present she got was Disney Princess of some sort, lol! But she loves it all and can't wait to wake up and play with it all again tomorrow!
We decided to keep Kiley home from Kindergarten for one more year. She is 4 days before the cut-off so she could go now, but Korry and I talked about it and she would graduate when she was 17 and she is already pretty small for her age and if I can keep her with me and extra year, I am ALL for that! :o)
So anyway, I am pretty sure that's all our news for now! I hope everyone is doing well and we hear from you all soon! Love and Miss those of you who aren't here! Come see us before we move! :o) TTYL! :o)

It was SO refreshing to have a productive day like that!!!! It was one of the Best Days in a LONG time!!! I REALLY needed a nice day!!! I MEAN REALLY REALLY!!! I have never had SO much fun working in the yard before! I put down fertilizer in the front and back yard and filled in some holes our lovely dog has been digging. We also got to plant some grass and cleaned up all our leaves around our fence and all around our house! So it was SUCH a Productive day!!! And I have a Secret...I can totally put this on here because Korry NEVER reads my blog! I went to the BX (base shopping center) today and bought our swing we wanted to get for our anniversary! I was SO excited! They only had ONE left!!! And they are going to deliver it Tuesday morning ASSEMBLED!!! Because that was the only one left!!!

It Was So MUch Fun!!!

So this weekend has been kinda crazy! So yesterday after waking up from their naps, Kiley & Brendan were sick! Actually none of us felt very well! I had a Headache that I could not shake that had made me sick to my stomach and my throat was killing me from drainage and Korry pretty much the same thing, but not as bad. So anyway, it was a LONG night of kids waking up, crying and coughing! So needless to say we were hoping that the soccer game we were supposed to coach today was canceled...BUT it wasn’t, so we waited it ou and Korry was going to go coach and the rest of us were going to stay home. But Kiley said she felt fine and so we all went and Brendan and I stayed under a blanket and Korry coached and Kiley did such a Good job!!! It was SO MUCH FUN!!! It was utter Chaos, but in a 4 year old adorable kinda way! They all had a Blast and Korry got complimented on his soccer coaching skills! I was impressed how well he handled 6 girls AND all their parents! SO anyway, Here are some pictures of Kiley’s first official Soccer game and Korry’s first Coaching job as a daddy!!! Hope everyone is doing ok, we are still trying to get better and the weather isn’t helping, so PLEASE continue to send warm prayers and thoughts our way! LOVE YOU!!! :o)

Busy Weekend!!!

So this weekend was Crazy! Well I guess the last week was crazy! Korry was TDY this last week and so things were crazy! But Friday I had an Easter Egg hun for play group from church and there were a TON of kids there and so that took up all morning and then had to run home and clean up the house, since Korry was coming home. Korry came in at 11:30 that night and so I had to get the kids up for that and they were "Happy" about that! They did pretty good though! So the next morning we had to get up and go to a carnival on base for all the little kids! Kiely & Brendan really did have fun! There was a cake walk, bouce House and all sorts of cute little games, but it was PACKED! But still fun! Then we had a short nap and lunch and then we had a Birthday party to go to that afternoon, it was So much fun! They both had so much fun! THEN went over and dyed and painted Easter Eggs at a friends house. Then today we had Easter...which started out kinda bad. Our alarm didn't go off, so we woke up 30 minutes before we were supposted to leave for church...and EVERYONE knows how fun it is to run around and try to get things done when you're in a hurry...this is definetly where we get into the majority of out arguments, lol! But it turned out fine. We weren't that late and it was fun! Then we came home, had the Easter Bunny, hunted Eggs and ate lunch! It was a Hectic weekend, but the kids had a Great Easter Weekend!!! So thats always a good thing! Here are some pictures of our "whirl wind" weekend! Hope everyone had a Great Easter and has a Great week! Love Ya!!!

Looking Back...

Korry and I have been married 5 years in 3 days and I have just been thinking about the past 5 years and how much both have us have grown as individuals and as a couple and it's amazing!!! We met and then got married less than a year later. We definetly have had our ups and downs, but have survived and have become better people because of it! We always have to remind ourselves that "God Won't Give You More Than You Can Handle" and although I think sometimes there is no way thats true we succeed in those situations BECAUSE we have one another to lean on and draw in support from them!

We have so much to be thankful for in this relationship! We have a Wonderful relationship, we have 2 amazing Children, we have happiness and love! We have grown together in our Christianity. I was once a very big cynic about church, I had been burned a lot in that area and Korry brought be back to the heart of it. It's not other people you should be worried about! It's about YOUR relationship with God and thats what the foundation is built on! Although I have Many amazing relationships because of our church. I am definetly protective and will always watch people more carefully because of what has happened in the past and I am not sure I will fully trust Everyone in that area, but the important thing is that we have a relationship with God and thats in the middle of our relationship as well. And we are building that relatiohsip with Kiley and Brendan and it's amazing to see them grow in that area, especially in this young age, Ah to have the heart and eyes of a child! Wouldn't that be nice sometimes! I am not saying this is the easy way to go! We struggle and have hurdles each and every day of our lives, but the important thing is to keep the finish line in your head and what is going to be important at the end of all this!!!

But anyway, I am so excited about our anniversary. We are just going to go to dinner and we're buying each other a swing for our back yard! I am SO excited! We both LOVE being outside during the summer and we work hard on our yard for it took look nice, so it's going to be awesome to have somewhere to sit and watch the kids play and just be able to be outside relaxing!!! So as soon as we know it's not going to snow any more we're going to go get that! YAY! No more snow and a swing...can life get better!? I submit that it can not, LOL! (inside Joke...Brian Regan is Awesome).

Anyway, I hope each and every one of you have a Great rest of your week! We love you all! COME SEE US THIS SUMMER, those of you who aren’t already here!!! Love You!

How did we Learn SO Little when we were in Kindergarden?!

So Korry and I decided we would kind of map out a curriculum for Kiley so she would be ready for Kindergarden since we have decided not to send her to pre-school. So we went to Barnes and Noble and got some books for pre-school and Kindergarden. And let me tell you, they are doing a LOT more in Kindergarden now then "We" were when we were there! Ya know like color and count...yeah they are supposted to already do that, lol! Well Kiley was actually pretty ahead in this area, more so than I was anyway, so we zoomed through the first books and she seemed bored in the Pre-K stuff, but is learning TONS and loving the Kindergarden books. SO I am excited! We have been writing upper and lower case letters and now we're getting into the Math and reading! Thats where I was shocked, I don't know about you, but we learned BASIC math in 1st Grade and now they know most math in Kindergarden, kinda crazy! But anyway it's some Mommy Kiley time and we both are enjoying it! We usually do it M-F for about 45 minutes. So it's fun, but not too over whelming for either one of us!
I am So excited for Easter this year. It was fun last year, it was a BEAUTIFUL day and we dyed Easter eggs and did the whole Easter Bunny thing. So this year Korry will be TDY until the day before, so it's kinda up to me to get everything ready and I am SO excited! I have the kids Easter clothes and they are SO cute!!! They don't do anything with the kids for Easter through the church, which was surprising and disappointing, but we will Definetly do somethings. I am Just really hoping the weather agrees with us and helps us out and is Beautiful like it was last year, so PLEASE keep that in your prayers, lol!
We have now been planning our summer and I am SO excited that Korry will be here! There were going to be SO many things I hadn't even thought of that he was going to miss! So we were going through and I am SO excited for it to get warm and to start it all up! For 1 he is promoting. Which is awesome that we get to be there for it. He was also going to miss the Air Show, which he is kinda in charge of the PR part of it, so that will be fun also! And not to mention the only good thing about living here is the Summer!!! It's warm and Beautiful and I am Absolutely looking forward to it and I am thrilled he doesn't have to miss it!!!
OMGoodness, so Brendan has such a strong personality! He & Kiley are my amusement each and every day! They crack me up! So Brendan has started this thing where he will flex his body and he will make himself just shake...so whenever we ask him to show us his muscles he will flex and his face gets all seriouse and he shakes, It's Hilarious and we all clap and he Is SO proud of himself, it's Absolutely Adorable!!! He talks all the time! He can mimmick everything we say and then some! He is So perceptive! They are just amazing kids and we are So extremely Blessed to have them as kids!!!
So I think as of now that about it! We Hope this finds everyone doing good and I hope you have a Great week! LOVE YA!!! :o)

Once Again...

SO we found out yesterday that Korry is in fact not being deployed this May! Which I know you're thinking..."Thats Great". It is, don't get me wrong. I am relieved he is not going to miss the kids Birthdays and the summer with us, not to mention just 6 months away from his family, however...OMG...this is the SECOND dad gum time this has happened to us! Get us all anxious and ready for him to deploy, make plans and then just to find out it was all for not! They need to get their poop in a group and have all the information BEFORE they tell us he's getting deployed!!! Anyway, we're waiting to see if there will be another deployment in the mix of all of this and I pray this is it until his next cycle, whcih "SHOULD" be next May, but I guess this is the fun waiting game we all LOVE so much!
ANYWAY, last night the kids had a make-up class fro Gymnastics from when they were sick and it was at night so Korry got to go! It was so much fun! He really enjoyed being able to see what they did, how much they learned and how much Fun they have! It was fun, however I think it was a little much for him! I LOVE the morning class, it's SO realxed and calm, but MAN the night class what complete CHAOS!!! So loud and crazy! So I will not be switching anytime soon! LOL.
I have been listing things on e-bay like crazy! I was up until almost 3 this morning listing things on there! If you need any girls or boys summer clothes, let me know! It's fun, but very time consuming. Very worth it in the end though, I get to buy them clothes for THIS summer, which is a blast for me!!! YAY! :)
I think that is all that is new with us right now. Our lives are a bit Chaotic right now, with just everyday life I guess. But it's fun and keeps me on my toes, lol! What doesn't kill us just makes us stronger...Right!? :o)

First Timer...


I have never been that great at keeping a blog! I have one on myspace, but rarely put anything on it. So this is new to me! Things here are kinda crazy! Korry will be leaving for about 8-10 days in March to go on a TDY, over our anniversary, fun fun! So we found this out and then he will then leave in May for 6 months to Florida! So with this said, it should be an interesting summer! Kiley and Brendan are growing like weeds! Kiley is almost 4 1/2 and Brendan will be 20 months at the end of the month! So things are crazy with a toddler and pre-schooler around here! They are both in Gymnastics and LOVE it! I think we all needed this little break from everything and get a little bit of excercise without having to freeze! Although it is getting warmer, it was in the 40's today! And for us it's like a heatwave, lol. Anyway, that is all for now, but I hope everyone has a Great week! TTYL! :o)
