End of summer 2007
Well I have had such fun this summer even though Jeff is gone for a little bit of it.
Isabella is still having trouble with her talking in school. I am racking my brain trying to figure out how to discipline her. She is really into talking on the phone already to her friend. I'd think she was a teenager! She is always worried about what she is waring lately too.
Chloe is talking very well. Everything she says is cute! I even tried to get her to say " Supercalafragelisticexpealadociouse" and she really did try to say it. She is into everything lately though and has figured out how to pull a chair up to a counter and get up and get what she wants. Chloe also got on a horse for the first time at the farm. She wasn't so sure, but quickly loved it.
Cole is still really into building blocks. He would do it all day if I let him. He is really into the movie "The letter Factory". He points out letters he recognizes and he says there sounds. Chloe is even trying to sing her alphabet too. Cole also is loving all his hoodie shirts. He can't wait for cooler weather so he can wear his hoodies.
Isabella and Cole are planning there combined birthday parties. Jeff is only back in between there birthdays so we are doing one big one while he is here. We ar
e doing a Hollywood movie party at home. I'll take lots of pics for ya'll.
The new puppy is still a hand full. Scout has now pulled some wires out of the air conditioner unit out back and I had to pay lots of money to have that fixed. I hope he gets better before I decide to get rid of him.
Jeff is coming home soon. We are counting down the days here. We miss him so much. I just can't get it together without him. I did learn how to mow the lawn with a push mower and weed eat all by myself. I also seeded the yard with my sister's help. I hope we grow more grass this year.

First Week alone
This week we did a lot of swimming. I had so many people reach out and invite me over to stay busy while Jeff is gone. Thanks to all of you, you know who you are. We really need to get a pool in our back yard. We want t salt water pool some day.
Jeff is going to be gone for a little less than a month in CA doing some training and helping with the border patrol. He has been gone since last Sunday. I am really starting to miss him and hate him being away from his family, but that is his job. I can't blame him. He is three hours behind me and is flip flopping his schedule to nights so I don't hear from him much. We are on opposite schedules.
I am trying to train the puppy, Scout this week, to sit and lay down. Yesterday I caught him up on the couch and chased him away. Later on I went to watch TV and found my remote chewed up on the couch no longer working. No TV for me! He is going to be a lot of work.
Yesterday, Sat., Chloe started swimming without me holding her up. She realized her water wings were keeping her floating and she had a blast and couldn't stop laughing in the pool when I let her go. She is finally not scared of the water. So now all the kids are trying to swim in the pool.
Isabella had a better week at school. She gets in trouble a lot for talking to much and has gotten plenty of notes home and the teacher switched her seat. I told her she would start getting spanked if I got any more notes home and now she is doing better. She is working on reading color words and number words. She has had two test already in the first two weeks but she is getting most words right on the test. She is a real leader type of person and quite the perfectionist so it bothers her when she makes mistakes. She gets that from being a big sis. Oh by the way she helped me change Chloe twice this week while I was busy making breakfast. She is a great helper.
Cole is having fun this week. He is really getting into Leap and Tad and learning his letter sounds. He still has trouble pronouncing certain letters like S,T, L,R and P. I am going to let him meat with a speech therapist to get some ideas as to what sounds normal and what I can do to work with him on speaking more like a big kid.
Well, hope we have a better week and have lots of events to tell you about.

Summer Time
This is our first family page. I hope you all enjoy getting these and stay informed of our bigger milestones and events in our family.
This summer so far we have had many events. Chloe had her second birthday party. It was fun, we made homemade personal pizza's. The electricity went out in the middle of making every one's pizza. Chloe loved all her gifts and eating cake of course. It was great seeing all our friends. Chloe is definitely in the terrible two's and is testing me everyday.
We also took a trip to AL to have a break from the army life. We went to the zoo and Callaway Gardens and stayed in a nice rustic cabin with Jeff's parents. We loved it.
Jeff also built a pond with a waterfall and a pergola and tons of nice trees. We see deer frequently in our back field. It's a very short walk to the river behind our house also.
Isabella learned how to ride her bike without her training wheels. She is so proud of herself! She also just started first grade and is doing pretty well ,but the teacher said she talks to much.
I joined a gym and I am trying to get into shape. I also am still participating in the bible study group we formed for women with little kids.
Recently we went to the free benefit concert on base and saw Brad Pasely and Kellie Pickler. That was also really fun and the kids loved the glow sticks at night.
This summer Cole and Isabella learned to swim with little help from us. They can swim with arm floats on finally.
Jeff also was promoted to a WO-2. I threw him a surprise party that totally suprised him.
We got a new puppy from a shelter that had saved him from a car accident. He is a Fox Hound mix of some sort. We named him Scout bc/ Jeff is a scout pilot for the Cav.
Well that's all we did for the most part.
