So It Begins...

Competitive Sports...well Kinda! Korry and I enrolled Kiley in soccer this season and we're so excited! But there is a catch...We are the Coaches of the 4 years old 3 on 3 team, LOL! I know it's Hilarious!!! Neither of us know the first thing about Soccer, but I did go to a soccer Coaches clinic last week while Korry was gone and found out if I have them all running the same direction and having fun I will be doing GREAT!!! So we have our first practice for 30-45 minutes this Thursday, so I am really excited and Kiley is SO excited!!! It's so much fun! She keeps on talking about it, so it's super cute to watch her!!! So anyway, I have a friend coming to watch and take pictures of our first game this Sunday, so I will put up some pictures...I am SO excited!!! It should be a lot of fun for all of us, lets hope!!! Anyway, I thought this was fun news to share! So I hope everyone has a Great day and I will Talk to you guys later!!! :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)
