I don't think were in Kansas anymore!

Well, it's been a little while and a lot has happened since then. On September 7 the moving company came to our house and began the packing process. After a very loooonnnng 3 days, our house was empty. I fear that not all of our stuff will have made it in one piece, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed! On Friday the 10th, we signed out of our house after living there for 5 years. It was a sad day. Rod came into town on Thursday night to help us drive across the country, which I am extremely grateful for! We spent a few last days in Kansas hanging out with friends and getting ready for a 3 days drive.
On Monday at about 920 we headed out of town :(. It seemed like it took forever to get to Kansas City where we had to stop at Cabela's. It was a blessing that we had to stop because we noticed that the tire on the boat trailer was about to blow. So after getting a new tire, we were on the road again. The first day we drove about 475 miles to Mount Vernon, Illinois. The second day was uneventful at about 400 miles and then the last days was about 400 miles. We were so happy to finally be in Virginia but not so happy to start house hunting.
We were suppose to get a house on post, we were number 1 on the list, but they stopped building houses and didn't have one for us. So we spent our first full day house hunting. I was discouraged and very stressed. The only thing we had really found was an apartment and I didn't care to do that again. The second day was SO much better and will sign a lease tomorrow for a 3 bedroom 2.5 bath house with a garage in the country. I am excited and relieved to finally have somewhere to call "home" for the next 6 months! Tuesday the movers come and deliver our stuff and then the fun of unpacking begins :(...anyone want to come help!
Today we were lucky enough to relax and go to Virginia Beach. Jaydn loved the beach and I will post pictures very soon. We also saw a shark, a pod of dolphins, The Blue Angels who were flying in an air show which was amazing, and a helpicopter! It was a great day!

THE Bogar's

Here's pictures from the time we spent with the Bogar side of the family! They are goofy but boy do I miss them!

Sarge! Sarge turned 13 this year, amazing that he is still around. But for how much longer, we don't know. It will be a sad day for me when he is no longer here. Love ya Sarge.

Jaydn and Papa on the four wheeler. No papa is not PREGO, he has apples down his shirt. This is the first time ever that Jaydn has ridden in the back of the four wheeler. Even the next time she rode, it was in front of Papa.

The tractor is slowly replacing the four wheeler. I think the smile says it all.

Jaydn and Grandma W...she doesn't like to say Witch

Robby and Grandma

Papa at Rooster's..yummy. He even got to see some pasty white A** while eating dinner.

Jaydn and Papa in Elk River. we are so glad that Papa got to spend as much time with us that he did.

Shooting Gunny..jaydn's gun.

I'm still in shock that he did this. I sure hope it ran correctly the next day.

Sadie and Kasey

Kasey and Sadie were able to come and see us on their way back home! It was so good to see them again. Jaydn had a really good time playing with Sadie. It really makes me wish that we lived closer. I had always envisioned our kids playing together, but I guess life is never what you think it will be.

Jaydn and Sadie hugging...although I'm not sure Sadie was in the mood for it.

Me and Kasey(Boog...is that still ok to call you?) I miss you girl!

Jaydn helping Sadie to dance

Sadie and Kasey! I can't tell you enough how much I admire you! You are a fabulous mom and Sadie is a very lucky girl.
On a side note, there is a box of clothes coming your way :)

IDAHO!

Sand Point!!!

Cody, Travis, Jan, Me, Robby, Jaydn, Rod, and Max at Silverwood....we had a BLAST

Jaydn and Daddy being super silly

Robby and Jan before they went on a super crazy roller roaster...they are crazy.

Robby, Rod, and Jan

Jaydn and Max...this was their taxi that they took around swimming area all day. The water was like ice, I am not sure how they were in there so long.

Well it's been awhile since I've posted anything and I'm sure there are a few of you that are frustrated by that (sorry kasey).
We had a fabulous time in Idaho and go to see lots of people that we have missed greatly! I think that for the first time ever, we didn't run ourselves ragged on this trip. We still kept plenty busy visiting everyone and doing our things, but I didn't feel as stressed, thank goodness.
Here's a few of our favorite pictures...ENJOY!
