Packin it up for TX!!

So yesterday we picked up my mom from the airport. Today we decided to try Patti's Settlement again. The last time we went there with Moms Club, that is where Kylie had her accident of sliding down a paved street!! So today they were in a stroller and we had a lot of fun and ate some yummy food. I will post pictures at a later time!
We leave for TX EARLY in the morning.. We board at 5:30 AM!!!!! That is way to early for my eyes to be open, but it will have to work.
Please pray for us this week as we go to court hearings. My prayer is that we will just trust God and remind ourselves that He has a perfect plan for us.
"See" you all at the end of the week!

A week in review!!

So this week we have done a few things with Moms club. I will post some pictures! Today we pick up my mom from the airport and then Monday morning our flight leaves at 6AM!! We will get to TX Monday morning and we plan to go to Sea World for FREE. Tuesday we meet with Kyle's lawyer, Wednesday we will do the hearing and Thursday is our flight back home. We hope to do some sight seeing while we are there, take a little vacation on the Army's time!! After we get back, we will be here about a week and then the girls, my mom and I are headed back to good Ole Missouri to start on our house. We have to do some updating to it, so that should be LOTS of fun!!
So enjoy some pics please.

Why Children do what they do????

I have been asking myself today....why in the world do children act normal and polite in public with their friends and what not.....and then when they get home they are a total different person. It is like they went from an Angel to a Beast!!! This is how I feel today..AGHHHHHH.

This morning we went to a park play day with Moms Club and the girls did GREAT, played nicely, got along, shared. Everything was PERFECT until we got home, and what happened, I am not quite sure. They were totally different little girls. They were yelling, fighting, kicking, crying, whining, you name it they were doing it!!! WHY???? So after getting through lunch time, which I might add was a diaster as well, it was nap time. Oh no, they went kicking and screaming up the stairs to their bed. After screaming for 20 minutes(this is what it seemed like) it was quite and I thought something was wrong....so I go to check on them and guess what....they were SLEEPING!!! Priase the Lord!! It was nice to have 2 hours to myself with peace and quiet. After nap they were back to their normal little beings of playing and getting along. So I hope that there are not many of these days to come!

Ok...so we went to the doctor today to get an "official" medical term for Kyle's injury. We weren't sure if the doc would just do it right there in the office, because he hadn't seen his surgeon since May, but he DID!!!! This is such a relief to have. So now we are ready to go battle our case next week.
God is amazing when we keep our eyes on Him!!
Thank you God!

Can't sleep and going to see the doctor today!!

Ok....so I can't sleep, so what am I doing??? Blogging!! It is already addictive!
So we go see Kyle's Ortho doctor today to see if he will put a "medical" term to his injury. This is the only thing that is going to help us in fighting his case. So please pray for us as we go today to see him. Hopefully we shall come back with some GOOD news!!

Thanks to all who have been praying for us this far. It has been a long journey and we are ready for a change. God has been with us this far and we know that He will continue to guide us in our every step. We are placing our complete trust in Him.

Our first post in the Blog world......

Ok....so we have decided to join the Blog world to keep updated with our friends and family as we continue to grow and change as a family. So for now, we are still stationed at Fort Campbell, KY and Kyle is in the process of his medical board. This has been a LONG and drawn out process, but who is to say that anything in the Army is at fast pace!! So he is getting medically boarded for his ankle injury. We have to appear in court on Sept 3 at Fort Sam Houston, TX to battle it persay!! They didn't offer what we and the doctors thought they should have, so we are fighting it out and hopefully we will win!! We shall wait and see. Once we are out of the Army, we are moving back to the Kansas City area. We are actually going to live in Kansas City, KS. Kyle's grandparents have a house there that is paid for, so we are going to fix it up some and stay there for awhile. It is only 2 bedrooms, but at least we have 2 girls, so they can continue sharing a room. It has a big kitchen and lots of storage and a garage. So it isn't our DREAM home, but it will work and this is what God has provided for us at this time. We are excited to call it "our" home and paint and do things to it to be ours. We have been renting since we have been married, so we have just looked at WHITE walls the entire 7 years!!I will post pics when we get there and settle in. I will have before and after pics for you. We have really enjoyed being here in the Fort Campbell area. We have met lots of friends and will have life long friendships from them. I have been a part of Moms Club of Clarksville and it is an amazing group of women and their families. The girls have really enjoyed making new playmates. Here are some random pics of the girls since we have been here.
