Greetings from Missouri

We are in Kingdom City Missouri ......in the Ozarks......What is Ozarks???? Everything went good today....carpet cleaner was early and fast......Realtor was early thanks to carpet cleaner being early so we were on road by noon.....and here we are already in middle of Missouri, we drove about 6 hours total and have 4 left. BTW.....Hawaiian punch or any drink with red dye will not come out of carpet....we got stuck with red spots.....but oh well live and learn. We get our new house tomorrow and get to see our new town .....we are all excited. We are in the middle of a big storm so I will sign off......Have a great weekend Ya'll.

Ugh Heat

They loaded one truck.....not enough room so now some of our stuff was put on another truck, and will be put in storage until there is another truck heading west.....WTH ??? It has been Day but I am not gonna gripe just pray tomorrow is better....right??? That will make the moving Gods smile down on us, right????????? At the end Kael had snuck a can drink into the Living room and Miss Sage stuck her finger in the hole and Hello ER......We had to say goodbye to her birthplace.....right???? Shes ok .....no stiches just a bandage which she will not keep on its on the underside on her right pointer finger knuckle....Dr was happy she was already on antibotic for Ear infection so at least I had one blessing. Get carpet cleaned and get on road tomorrow hopefully into IL......gotta get to KS by Sunday afternoon to get inspect done.....Please keep those prayers up.....I need them......

Day 1

So 1 guy came and surveyed .....get a call 2 hours later from our coordinator, Terry, that packers will be here between 8-9 tomorrow I guess that means we got 3 days of packing .....by now we have constant headaches, I have a zillion pimples from stress, and so on......so if U call and I bite your head off please forgive me ( I don't think Brian has one left ). Whats funny is no matter what I would still be stressed, I could be doing my 100th move and have everything under complete control but still be stressed until we have this House done, Packed and cleaned and turned back over. And then of course I get a different kind of stress when we arrive in KS....LOL. Today's whopper....Kids ped office is charging me $50 for a copy of Our records.....people not in military does this really happen to you alot???????????? I am still in shock !!! Off to bed .....Kael has a tooth filling @10.

Pics from Kael's last day ice cream party.....he shared with Maddie ( Brian and Maddie went )

We are Back....let the stress begin

We had a wonderful time in NC, loved seeing family, could have done without the heat...or Humidity....ugh!! We got back to 10 voicemails from movers and moving companies....ugh. They will be here Monday to do a survey, start packing Tuesday and pack it on the truck Friday.....I think I'm ready, I think I'm ready.......I did get the kids Bathroom tub/shower scrubbed tonight, they had a rubber ducky theme for 5 years now....its time for new but I'm clueless??? What is good for kids??? probably no theme right???? I'm still trying to get thru e-mails....so hopefully be back to blogging tomorrow with current pics....LOL.

HAPPY FATHERS DAY ALL !!!

Book List

I always hit The Happy Housewife on Thursday for her book list and all the other blogs who link with her to show their Book list. I always get great books that get read to the kids. Well I have stopped lurking and I am gonna post my own list of titles we are reading this week.

1) My Friend Jamal by Anna McQuinn/ Teaches young children about how friendship can transcend cultural differences.

2) Stand Tall Molly Lou Melon by Patty Lovell/ What happens when you look "different" and the school bully starts picking on you.

3) Saving Strawberry Farm by Deborah Hopkinson/ Set in the great depression it gives a look at what happens when friends and neighbors come together to save the farm.

4) All the places to Love by Patricia MacLachlan/ Great story about a Great old American Farm.

5) I'm your Peanut Butter Big Brother by Selina Alko/ Another book about appreciating our differences but the illustrations in this book are why I grabbed it off the shelf...just beautiful.

Well That's it I hope you enjoy it and hopefully next time I will know how to link the titles so you can actually see the books...still learning...LOL....

We will be off the Blog until Next Saturday....enjoy your week and don't forget about Fathers Day !!!!

A Good Night

We had our neighbors over tonight for a cook out and I think we are all exhausted now. But I did get to go to Fresh Market and Trader Joe's today to get food......man I could spend a fortune in Fresh Market but I actually did pretty good.....if U have one near you go get some French Vanilla Pound Cake....on sale this week for $2.99 for a loaf.....OMG yummy !!! I will really miss our neighbors Brad, Tara, Alex and Anna.....: (

Tomorrow is Kael's last day, complete with Ice cream sundae party and school year slide show, after that he has Asthma Dr appt @ 5pm and we have got to get ready for our trip South. Now be warned there will be no internet access for a week on Friday ( How will I survive??????????) but I think we will be so busy we will never notice...........YEAH RIGHT !!!

Kael's Fun Day( Field Day )

Daddy said poor Kael had to hold his pants up for all events....see what happens when you decide you are too big for Mommy to be picking out your clothes.....LOL....but I will check from now on. He and his Best buddy Armand had a great time though.
