K-Mobile









Kambry is on the move!! I've never had a kid mobile this early (she turned 5 months yesterday). She started pushing herself up and backwards a few weeks ago. Now she gets up on her hands and knees and launches herself forward. She hasn't figured out the hands yet so most of the time she hits face first! She's also found her squeal and it is loud (especially during prayer, driving in the car, watching your favorite show, when you're on the phone, when you think she sleeps-you get my point) She's really growing up fast. She wakes up in the morning and immediately starts looking for the other kids. She just too cute right now!

Now I'm on a mad hunt for a gate that's wide enough for my staircase.

Knock, Knock........



We made it to TN and I didn't lose not one child....or husband! I can't wait to update everyone on the comedy that has been our lives for the last couple of months. But for now, we are still trying to get out of boxes and learn to love the South all over again. Clarksville is awesome because everything you need is right here......well actually I mean every restaurant you need is right here!!

The kids are having a blast, especially because the Howe's (pronounced How's... :) just moved a few houses down from us. If you don't know the Howe's you are missing out! She totally bragged on us on her blog for helping them out while staying with them. She failed to mention that we totally moved in with them for almost 3 weeks! I can't explain it! In all seriousness, not one time did we feel we were unwelcomed. They exemplify charity and I can't thank them enough. (Rosie did get a little tired of us, but I think it had something to do with her Root Beer dependency!)

Strati is at Fort Riley now training and getting the kids adjusted and ready for deployment is challenging, so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I'll update later on the kids and especially the Phenom that we call Kambry but for now I'll leave with recent quotes from Layla who turned 5 on 5-5 and acts like she is 55.....

(In the car as we are leaving Ft. Huachuca after 6.5 years) "All Isley's crying makes me wanna blow chunks!

Layla: (Crying real tears) "I miss all of my friends in Arizona"
Me: Awwww, like who Layla?
Layla: Ummmm...like....ummmm Peanut (crying harder)
Peanut is Strati's commander's dog!

(After her teacher brings her crying to me in church)
Me: Layla what's wrong?
Layla: I just miss you soooo much...oh wait.....its time for snacks......I'm ready to go back now!
