Ben and Max

Happy 4th of July! Ok, so it's a little late. Story of my life right now. :) Anyways, we had company over the holiday weekend. Both of Ben's Papas were here along with several cousins. It was really good to have family here. This is a picture of Ben and his cousin, Max. Max is from the Chicago area. But all in all we had Kathryn, Alex, Dad, Papa Dale, Max and Cody here. I had to work of course. But it was a good weekend. We missed Nana Merry and Granny Midge. Hopefully we'll get to see them soon.

The Nature Center visit June 2008

I have my nieces, Kathryn and Alex staying with me for the summer. We decided to go to the nature center in Jonesboro. We all had a great time. Here are some pictures from our day at Crowley's Ridge Nature Center.

Ben's One Year Old Pics

Here are a couple of pictures that Josh's parents took for Ben's one year old pictures. More to come.

HAPPY 1st BIRTHDAY, BEN!

Benjamin turned 1 year old on May 5th, 2008. I can't believe it! We had a great time, aside from missing Daddy. Ben and I ventured to KS for the big event. Everybody was there to help us celebrate the big day. He is definitely one spoiled (loved) little boy. No longer a baby as you can tell. Thanks to all that attended and for the wonderful gifts. You all truly made us both feel special. We love you all.

Greetings from Iraq!

Hello everyone! Back in the desert again. This was actually a sunset in Kuwait a couple of weeks ago. We are now in Iraq and working with the unit that has been doing our mission. They are extrememly helpful and we are looking forward to getting started. I hope everyone is doing well and I will try to keep everyone updated as much as possible. Thanks again for all of your love and support.

Well, he's on his way into Iraq as I type this. He's been in Kuwait for the past two 1/2 weeks. So he gave me the ok to send out his address. Please let him know how much he is missed.

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter! We had a wonderful day today. Ben and I participated in our first Easter Egg Hunt at the park. We got 3 eggs and a little bunny. It was a beautiful day. I really think Ben enjoyed it. He loves being outside. Doesn't quite know how to walk in the grass yet. It's all new to him. I love just watching him explore new things. Tomorrow we will be having lunch with Mike, Brooke and Emery. It's hard to believe that we met them one year ago. BJ, we miss you so much. Stay safe. We're all praying for you. Look at our little bunny.
