Pretty Peanut

Just a few pictures of our pretty little girl today.

Maddie's First Playdate!

Today we met Jennifer, Hunter and Baby Jack at McDonalds. The bigger kids played in the PlayLand for almost TWO HOURS. Maddie and Jack... well, they slept, ate, burped, and then went back to sleep.
There was a birthday part in the PlayLand today... and Hunter and Joey landed right in the middle of it!! They crashed some kids 4th birthday party and ended up with party bags full of candy and balloons!

No Goodbyes in the Army

One of the hardest things in military life is saying Goodbye to friends. Last night we chose not to say "Goodbye" but instead said "Hurry Back" to our good friends, the Sharps. They're headed to San Antonio for two years. Our kids are so close and our babies were born just 5 weeks apart. We're going to miss you Gerry, Amy, Catlin, Jonathan, Benjamin and Aaron. HURRY BACK!!

I've Been Tagged...

At least I think I have been. =)


Ten years ago, I was... just about to get married. One month from today!!

Three things I am going to do today...put the groceries away, change a zillion diapers, pack more of the house up!

If I were a billionaire, I would...pay off all our debt, my parents debt, and the church's debt. I'd give a ton of money to the Pregnancy Resource Center and other pro-life ministries. I'd retire, build a nice house, and write that book I've been working on. I'd buy Rick a Jeep to go mudding in, build my parents' their dream house, and travel the world with Rick.

Five places I have lived...Florissant, MO; Hazelwood, MO; Lebanon, IL; Waynesville, MO. But within the past 10 years I've moved 10 times... in MO!

On my resume, you'd find these five jobs...Executive Secretary @ Westside Baptist Church, Customer Service Rep @ United Health Care, Center Director/Counselor @ the Pregnancy Resource Center of St Louis, Correspondence Desk Operator @ Western Union, Customer Service Rep @ Western Union

Papaw/Pastor Lindell


The kids have told me several times that Pastor Lindell is like a "Papaw" to them. Here he is with Maddie.

Fourth of July




We had a great Independence Day. The kids and I went to a pool party at the Carters house while Rick worked a day shift. Then in the evening when Rick got off, we had fun with sparklers and other fun fireworks in the driveway. Once the sun went down, we joined our friends out on Post to watch the BIG fireworks. Here are some pics of the kids enjoying the day.
