UPDATE

I figure I should probably update everyone on what has been going on in our lives the past couple of months. Jaydn has finally overcome her fear of her room and is now sleeping in there. I came up with the idea of putting a blue sheet around her bottom bunk so that she can't see out and it seems to have helped. She is also sleeping with her bedroom light on, but whatever works. Now I just have to worry about all the thunderstorms we will be getting this summer.
I took a girls trip to Las Vegas at the end of February. Diana, Kellie, and Aunt Patty all met me there and we had a blast! We spent 4 nights there! I will have to post some of those pictures later. It was great to be with friends again....we will definately have to do it again!
Robby came home for R&R in March! It was amazing to see him again. Jaydn wouldn't leave his side for the first couple of days. Every time he would think of walking outside, Jaydn wanted to make sure he was coming back. We took a trip to Kansas City and went to the zoo but mostly just stayed at home. It was incredible to have our family back together again.
I am back in school and will be done soon! I will actually be walking in the graduation ceremony next month! I will have an Associates in Science!! I can't wait to be done. Now I just have to figure out what to do with my life.
Robby will be home sometime this summer. We still do not know when but are looking forward to that day. We are hoping to make a trip to Idaho after he gets back and we will keep everyone posted. Also, we will be leaving Kansas for Ft. Lee, Virginia in September!!!!! Robby will be attending his Captain Career Course for 6 months. I am sort of sad about leaving Kansas but think it's time for a change of scenery!
Well I think that should about catch everyone up. I promise to try and be better about posting pictures!

Lt. Dan Band

Gary Sinise (from Forrest Gump and CSI: NY) has a band named The Lt. Dan Band. They came to Ft. Riley this past week and put on a free concert in celebration of Month of the Military Child! We had a great time during the concert and Jaydn had a blast.




My little RoCK STAR! She stood up there with the sound guy the entire concert and jammed out the entire time!

I really wish that I would have gotten her on video before she stopped dancing. She was having a blast. It's amazing how much she loves music.

She thought it was pretty cool to have her own dog tags.
We thought we would take this picture and then ask daddy if she could have one!!! It didn't have a price tag on it, which is never a good thing, but I can just imagine the fun she would have on it. Her and papa would have a blast!

DADDY

I have been SEARCHING for the perfect coin rack for all of Robby's coins and I FINALLY found one that I really liked! Robby kept telling me that he didn't have very many coins but I think he has more than he thought. This one is now full and I will be on the search AGAIN!


I have the sweetest husband ever! Last week I had a horrible dream about Robby leaving me and to remind me how much he loves me, he sent me flowers!!! I was completely shocked and surprised! Thank you baby, I love them.


He also sent Jaydn a stuffed puppy with balloons! The florist forgot to bring Jaydn's gift with my flowers so daddy had to call them and remind them. Jaydn was so excited to get something just for her!

Tulip Festival

Every year in April, a small town named Wamego, has a Tulip Festival! They have food, craft booths, kids games, and a petting zoo. We have gone almost every year and we love it. I think this was the coldest year that we have had but we still had a good time.
The day before the festival Jaydn was playing at the park with her babysitter while I was at work. She fell and hit her lip on a rock. She ripped off a good portion of her skin and had a very fat lip. I felt so bad but she is such a trooper!




At the top of the light house.

This was comical! They had an inflatable caterpillar...you went in the mouth and out the butt! You had to be there to appreciate how 'wrong' it was.

Mommy and Bug


It would such a better picture if she didn't have that fat lip! She's still gorgeous though...if I do say so myself.

Easter

HAPPY EASTER!!!!! Here's a picture of Jaydn while we were decorating our eggs! Her and daddy had a blast. I was shocked that Jaydn didn't want them all to be pink but she didn't!


I cropped myself out of the picture. Jaydn wanted me to go up there with her but I stood to the side. She was fine up there and told him what she would like!



My beautiful girl

Random pictures from R&R

Hey everyone! Sorry it's been so long since I last posted anything but it's been a very couple of months. Here are a couple of pictures of us when Robby was home on R&R! We had an amazing time and it was so nice to have him home!

Robby and I



The 3 of us! Jaydn was more than happy to have her daddy home!


The bear has almost become a part of our family....as much money as we spend at that darn store :)
