SIGN???

While we were in Fayetteville with Ken I realized I had forgotten to bring a bottle for Reba. I went to the PX and bought more. In hopes that we are having a boy so that we can keep the pattern going I bought a package that had a blue bottle in it. Today I washed dishes and the one blue bottle that we have got melted around the heating element. Not only can't I get it out but I am wondering if this is a sign telling me that our pattern has ended. What do you think? I finally ran the dishwasher again to melt it more so that I could pull it out.
By the way, melted plastic in the dishwasher doesn't smell the best. :)

I didn't know what to name this blog so I went with the years that the birthday people are turning. We had this party a little early so that I could be home for it and have some fun with them. We had dinner at Johnny Carino's. For those that don't know this is an Italian resturant. We had a very good time and enjoyed the presents that we got.


















The following day being Easter Sunday we went to Duke Gardens. This is something that Lisa did growing up and plans on doing each year that we are back here. While we where we decided to take some pictures. I hope that you all enjoy these because it will be a while before you see me in any of them.

The following two posts

The next two posts have been requested by several people who haven't seen Reba in a long time. There is one of all of us and the other is mostly of Chloe. Both are adorable and I hope you enjoy it. I'm not going to promise pictures or posts again soon because you all know how well I do with that. Its all I can do to survive normal everyday life without Ken. We miss him so much. The kids tell me that they are ready for Daddy to be out of the National Guard. In a way that is cute and it is also very sad. We have been lucky to be able to talk to him as much as we have in the last little while. From the sound of it we won't be able to talk to him much for a couple of weeks. We are just looking forward to the time we are going to have with him in April before he leaves for Iraq. Enjoy the posts and we hope all is well with you and yours.

No camera of course

On Sunday night I was talking to Ken and Reba was playing with the garbage. She was standing up and holding on to the side of the garbage can. I told her no and she let go of the garbage can. She was standing all by herself! I couldn't believe it! I couldn't get to my camera and Ken was on the phone so I couldn't use that camera so I was out of luck. I was frustrated but at least Ken was on the phone and got to hear my reaction when his daughter stood for the first time by herself. I know I need to get some pictures on here but that will have to wait for another day. Sorry. By the way, in case you don't know Reba and I get to go to Mississippi and visit with Ken for about 36 hours this week. She is the only kid that I don't have to pay for a plane ticket for and Chloe has school anyway. Chloe and Jared are going to stay at my friend Sharon's house. They are really excited. I am so glad to have her near to help me out. I hope that I don't take too much advatage of it. Also, Reba is walking along the furniture and she runs all over in her walker. Literally runs. Chloe is doing really well in school and Jared is having fun with Mommy and Reba. He misses Chloe while she is at school. Luckily Sharon has a two year old daughter that Jared loves to play with. That's all for now. I hope you are all doing well.

Family Goodbyes

I just wanted to share our pictures that we took in Monroe before Ken's departure ceremony. Chloe especially loved taking pictures. Jared's are the ones of the grass and the ones of Reba were when Chloe was playing with the zoom but they are so cute.

We get to do this all over again when he actually has to leave us. We are grateful that he is staying with us for a little longer but now we have to prepare all over again. Oh well, don't look a gift horse in the mouth.
