Please pray.

I know, I'm way behind, AGAIN! Read Lee's blog, he's MUCH better at keeping his current.

I just want to ask each of you to get down on your knees and PRAY for the soldiers and families of the Iowa National Guard. It's been a TOUGH week because of this and this. Pray that God will comfort families, heal injuries, give strength to surviving soldiers and families at home and use this to turn hearts to Him.

"I lift up my eyes to the mountains, where does my help come from? My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth." Psalm 121:1-2

Listen to this.

Best and Worst of G and B

We have good days and bad days....

well, with these two it's more like good minutes and bad minutes :)

Sleeping is good :)

Yes, he fell asleep on his 4-wheeler magazine.

Different day, same outfit...he doesn't nap daily anymore, but often needs it,
so if I can get him to be STILL for a few minutes, he's usually out.

Getting along...GOOD!!!

SHE picked out her clothes, but she's smiling so it's all good!

She is MAD because I took the baby powder away from her!?!?!?

GRUMPY!!!!!

In all fairness, Grant has bad days too...however, when he acts up it's not quite as cute as when she does it. I know, not fair, but a 4 yr old (ALMOST 5) being naughty is a lot different than a 1 yr old (ALMOST 2) being naughty...as far as the cute factor goes.

Covered Bridge

A couple weeks ago, Grant was asking if we could go to a covered bridge. Now, living in Madison County, covered bridges don't really seem like a big deal to me...but Grant was insistent (as usual) so we went. They had SO much fun!!!!

It was close, free, and no work involved...I think we'll be going back :)

Cedar Bridge

Cuties!!!

I did have to explain to G that we couldn't take that rock (aka piece of the fire place) home.

INGOA Rec Dinner

Iowa National Guard Officer's Association Annual Retirement Recognition Dinner, yeah, that's a mouthful. Anyway, Lee and I usually go to this event each year. This year, I went with three other wives who's husbands are also deployed.

Here are a few pictures!

Nicole, Heather, me, Heather

Pretty cute dates, but I REALLY missed Lee!!! I felt like I should be wearing his uniform name tape on my dress, because people weren't quite sure who I was without being on his arm.

Thank you to Mom and Roger for staying with the kids.


P.S. My camera is HORRIBLE!!!! I can't wait until Lee gets home and I can use the good Sony that he bought. I'm currently using a Canon that I bought because it was a little cheaper than the Sony...I got what I paid for :(
