Movin' to Fort Campbell...

I feel like I have been so busy... I have missed updating our little blog. My hope is to be able to keep this up again. I am going to start from February until now so...

Everyone knows Nate joined the ARMY back in August of 2009. He went away for Basic Training and we didn't see him until Christmas Exodus. He then left for Airborne School... it was suppose to be for a couple of weeks, but turned into 2 months. We found out that we were being stationed at Fort Campbell and were OK with that until they dropped the BOMB on us. He was going to be deploying sometime between May 1 and the 15. I was of course devastated and didn't know what I was going to do. Everything in me wanted to stay in St. George, but Nate wanted us to move to Kentucky. After major melt downs etc... I decided to move to KY. With the help of family and friends, we were able to get our house all packed up. My mother in law and father in law helped us move our stuff ALL the way to Fort Campbell. It took us 3 days and was one interesting trip. I am one of the biggest wimps and I drove through tunnels, over bridges and in a pretty bad storm. I handled it all pretty well if I do say so myself. My girls were amazing... they really didn't complain the whole time.

We arrived in KY/TN on February 28. It had been almost 2 months since the girls and I had seen Nate. It was awesome to know that we were going to be a family again even if it was only for a couple of months.

Happy BiRtHDaY Kennerbug...

I can't believe my BABY is 3 years old today!! She was so excited from the time she woke up until the time she went to bed... We woke up and had her fave breakfast (cinnamon pull apart bread) then headed out to let her pick out a gift and her cake. We were lucky to have Auntie Candice here visiting, but really wished Abby and Dom could of come with her.

We are also really missin' the DADDY on this special day, but know he is doing a great job protecting us!!

She picked this little dress out and Auntie Candice let her put it on in the store (Gotta love Auntie Candice). She was in Heaven!!

When we got to Wal-Mart, we couldn't decide on just one of the Princess cakes so we bought 4 (Ariel, Cinderella, Belle, and Tiana). They were adorable and tasted fantabulous!! Ariel was my FAVE... it was decorated so cute!!

As you can see, Kennedy enjoyed them very much...

After we ate cake and ice cream we headed over to Ci Ci's Pizza... Kennedy LOVES pizza and I knew she would pick it for dinner.

Kennerbug... I sure hope you enjoyed your day! We love you little lady!!

Happy BiRtHDaY Regs...

The Big ol' 5

I am so sad, but yet very proud that my little/big girl is 5 today. I asked her what she wanted for her birthday and she kept telling me, "I donno." I made a couple of suggestions and one of them was gettin' here ears pierced. I was totally shocked when she said, "Momma, I want to get earrings." I told her that it would hurt and she still insisted. So we got our GPS out and found a Claire's.

We had such a fun day together (just us girls), but we really wished our Daddy was home to celebrate with us. He was at least able to call her and wish her a Happy Birthday. It made her day to here his voice... you should of seen her little face light up. Daddy is Reagan's best friend!!

We also made a trip to Wal-Mart so she could pick out a cake and some ice cream. She picked a cute little strawberry cake. It was actually really good!!

I think she had an OK birthday with her momma and sisser. Maybe next year we will know people and we can actually have a little party ;)

Proud to be an Army Wife...

I wear no uniforms...

no Blues or Army Greens,

but I am in the Army...

in the ranks rarely seen.

I have no Rank upon my shoulders...

Salutes I do not give,

but the Military world...

is the place where I live.

I'm not in the Chain of Command...

orders I do not get,

but my Husband is the one who does...

this...

I can not forget.

I'm not the one who fires a weapon...

who puts my life on the line,

but my job is just as tough...

I'm the one left behind.

My husband is a Patriot...

a Brave and Pride Filled Man.

The call to serve his Country...

not all can understand.

Behind the lines...

I see the things...

NEEDED to keep this Country free.

My husband makes the sacrifice,

but so do our kids and me.

I love the man I married...

The Army is his life,

So I pledge to support my Hero...

and stand among the Silent Ranks...

known as...

The Army Wife!

Peacock Anyone?...

So I'm sittin in my car waiting for Regs to come out of Preschool and I notice this huge bird lookin thing sittin on this car in front of us. I decide to get out to see what the heck it was and got a little nervous cause I had no idea what it was. As I was tryin to get close to it... the teacher came out and said, "What are you doing?" I pointed over to the car and she told me it was a peacock and it just mills around all over the neighborhood... my girls thought it was the coolest thing ever so we took some pictures.

Pickin Up Our Soldier...

The girls and I were so excited to be pickin the Daddy up from the Airport

We got the call early in the morning letting us know he would be there earlier than expected so we rushed down to Vegas to get him... The picture above was us gettin ready to head into the airport to get him. The girls were ecstatic!!

As he was comin down the escalator Reg's got pretty excited...

Kennedy on the other hand wasn't to sure for a minute, but warmed up really fast...

The happy fam finally together after almost 5 months...

We have 2 weeks with him and we will be stuck to him like glue until we drop him off to go back!!

Finally Got to See The Nater...

There is no words to explain the excitement of seeing someone for the first time in 4 1/2 months. I had the biggest butterflies flyin around in my stomach. As soon as our eyes met each others both of our eyes filled up with tears of happiness. It felt so rewarding to put the blue cord on my 11 Bravos shoulder.

I can't tell ya how proud I am of my husband. He continues to amaze me everyday. We had a great couple of days together, but sure wished it could of been longer. He will be home in a couple of weeks for Christmas Exodus then he will head back for Airborne School. I can't wait to find out where our first Duty Station will be!!

This was our last picture together before we had to say good bye. We were headed to Church before he had to report back to the barracks...

Nate... we miss you beyond words and can't wait to spend a couple of weeks with you at Christmas time.

"I Like Dress Up, Mommy!"

*She was talkin to her Daddy!

This is our little Dressin Up Queen! Reg's use to like to Dress Up, but not to the extent Kenndy does. Her life revolves around playing dress up. When ever we are going some where she will ask me, "Mommy do they have dress up?"

Kennedy... you are too much sometimes, but that is why you are soooo loved!

Halloween Festivities...

We had such a fun night. I took the girls Trick or Treating for the first time this year... we had soooo much fun. We got to talk to our Dad for the first time since he left for the whole day! He was on the phone with us while we Trick or Treated so he was kind of with us....lol. We started out with the cousins at Auntie Carrie's and Uncle Shane's. The kids all looked so stinkin cute.

Our Visit with Beneva...

I can't exactly remeber when Geneva came to visit us, but I know it has been a very long time since we have seen her and we miss her a ton!!! She came to spend the day with us and brought the girls some Princess Stickers. We went to Red Robin for lunch and had a really good visit with her. It was sure nice to see her and wished we could see her more often.

Geneva... thanks for the fun little gifts and lunch (it was yummy)! We miss you Lady!

The Tired Girl...

Kennedy is just too much sometimes... she asks EVERY night if we can go to get an ice cream. This was one of the things we would do with Nate when he was home thus creating a horrible habbit...lol. Anyway I thought I would take them cause we hadn't been in such a long time, but as you can see she was too tired and was falling asleep while she was eating her's. It was the funniest thing to watch. She was asleep, but she just kept licking away.

Papa's Pumpkins...

Papa planted these little decorative pumpkins and decided to let the kids decorate them... they had a blast!

This is my niece Alexis...

And the Reggers...

and the Kennerbugs...

They turned out so cute and they were a hit thats for sure!

We also decided to make a little video for Natey...

Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs...

Reg's really wanted to go and see this movie, but I new that Kennedy wouldn't sit through it. Usually my niece Alexis watches my kids and they are really comfortable with her, but Regs wanted Alexis and Tayler to go with us so I decided to see if my Father in Law would watch the Kennerbug. We watched it in 3D... movies are so fun now a days!!! We had a good time and we decided to go to Spoon Me afterwards... MMmm it was yummy! I had a good time with all the kiddos!


Kennedy wanted to be in the picture too so I let her wear my glasses!
