LEaVe.2

While we were at my parents house my brother Mat took lots of good pics for me. Here are some of them...
These are of Kenzie of course.

Here is a cute one of me and Kenzie.


And then there is Kenzie in a hole.

Leave.1

So November was a crazy month. We got to go on leave in Utah and Idaho. First we went to Utah and I got to see my sisters and all of my family. I hadn't seen my sister Amy in three years. It was the first time that she got to see Ben.

It was so wonderful to see my Parents. It was so hard to leave knowing that it would be at least three years till I get to see them again. So that is Mom and Dad. and then there is one of my Mom and Grandma

Update

There has been so much going on. Ben came home and we have been getting paper work done to go to Guam. One week and we get to go and visit family in Idaho and Utah. Both of my sisters are going to be in Utah too. It will probably be the last time that we make it home for about 3 years or more... So it is going to be so much fun. Ben is just excited that we get to be home for Thanksgiving. Which is nice for me as well. It is hard to make Thanksgiving dinner for just Ben and I.

We also got to get some pumpkins on Saturday. We had a lot of fun doing that. Ben pulled the kids in a cart. We got three bigger pumpkins and Tristan wanted to little ones. One for him and one for Kenzie. Which was very sweet!

Saturday night was the the trunker treat at the church. Kenzie did good. She was walking around at least. Tristan acted like he didn't know any one. He wouldn't leave my side. They got candy and had some fun. Tristan was a little brown dog and Kenzie was a little cheerleader. I think that they were very cute..but i am their mom.

CampINg

Ben got a three day weekend. So we decided to go camping. We were going to stay for two nights, but it ended up being a little chilly for me and i was worried that the kids would get to cold too. We had a lot of fun. We couldn't keep the baby clean. She kept putting everything in her mouth. And Tristan just loved the rocks. He kept moving them all over the place. And he even found a walking stick to use too. Which he liked lots. Ben even got his fix and got to ride his quad(four wheeler) around a bit. It will be the last time we go camping in California. I think, but with the air force you never know?!?!?

One year...

Well my baby girl is a year old. At this time last year i was still in the hospital with her. It is crazy. She just isn't a baby anymore. She is getting so big. I miss her being little and falling asleep in my arms. I am glad that she seems to be learning things so quickly. Well for her birthday we went and got some lunch and then we opened presents. After that we had cake of course. It was a pretty good day, not that she will remember any of it really. I am just so glad that Ben made it back for her first Birthday!

necklace..

I also went to Michaels today. I found some dog ears for Tristan for Halloween. And a couple of odds and ends.Then I got looking at the bead stuff and found some stuff to make some necklaces. And I think that they came together really well. So anyway here they are

Fun Stuff

So this is the stuff that Ben got for me while he was away. He got some perfume for me. It is an oil perfume and it smells so wonderful! And he got me a gold flower that will last forever. Also a wonderfully pink robe that has my name on it. He did very good. And he thinks that he has my birthday and Christmas covered we will see...
I was also having a bad day the other day and Ben went to run some errands and he came back with some orange and pink flowers and it made my day!
