Last post




Well for final post here is Ani. We had her 6 wks and she was a joy. Kowen enjoyed Gulf Shores with the cousins and the kids enjoyed dad and ice on the trampoline. Without looking Kowen ended up naked, but they had a lot of fun. Well this will have to satisfy, the movie is almost over. Thanks, Catch up later.

Fun times









Well Kowen setttled for the the kiddie rides after some kicking n screaming, mom enjoyed driving all kids around, and around and around the track and Kandon and others loved the wall climbing and space attractions at Ripleys Wonderworks.

Dollywood







Just a few pics of our vacation in Pidgeon Fordge, Dollywood, TN. Swam in a river on the side of a road, paid a man in a suit to take a pick and saw beautiful mountains, deer on the side of the road, and rode lots of rides. Great fun with Grandpa and Aiti.



Ok Pics for Jeni and others

Well per request from Jeni, I'm trying to multi -task posting here and your RS blog then Watch Marle and me too. So here it goes. Hawaii is fine Jeni, so if ya get the chance try it. Especially if ya love the beach if ya don't then don't i guess. Military flights are the only way to get off economically which is ok in the summer. But beautiful and great weather. Anyways. We are gettting closer to moving on base, a smaller 3 bed though so we decided not to do foster care for a little bit. Kowen's big thing this week is he learned to say "Oh my Gosh." so cute. School started today so Hallelujah or however u spell it. Kandon's bummed because here you can't get on the grass without covered shoes and so his cast, open toes, no playing for him for 2 more weeks. Oh and has the strictest teacher. When I left them it is so funny to watch them at school and like a deer in headlights, don't leave mom. Of course Kowen is doing everything he can to take off his shoes too and go to school. We settled to just use the big boy bathroom by himself. Kilee asked for her tooth to be pulled by the dentist and after more than 18months of loose not loose loose, so close, to oh just pull the darn thing. She will need braces anyways. Well let me get some pics in here. Hope all is well with others.

Just Letting U know we are alive n well

Well, no pics this time just updating bc i'm here and doing it. Its been a long time. Well made it another year of school with kids. Kilee passed to second and Kandon to first hooray. They start next week another hooray for other reasons. We visited mom and dad in Ala. after landing in Knoxville, Tn and touring Dollywood and other places, seeing the mountains. It was a lovely trip. We are glad to see our family and get another Kids picture made with all their cousins. Took over 150 poses with all families and found only a few we liked. Just one group in paticular where everyone was decent but at least we had that one. Well before we left for the states we passed our first and only Foster child to her aunt and uncle. We called her Ani. She was beautiful. WE decided to postpone any others bc we found it hard to go to all the meetings and ask others to watch kowen who wasn't allowed. So we felt we were burdening others and will try it later.
We put poor Kandon through surgery on his foot. We got a plug/screw put in to hold up his bones so he wouldn't be so flat footed and it cause hip problems. So he has been in a cast for 2 wks and has 4 more. Well techincally this is his second cast bc first one lasted only 4 half days before we soaked it and now he has a waterproof cast that we paid a little for. He got it on tues. , Wed we went to the pool and it already ripped up the side abt 2 inches. oh well. rough on it. maybe they will patch it.
Cliff is in singapore on a short mission, but doing well.
It is hot here but nothing like the south, so i shouldn't complain.
WE are still waiting to see if we move on base in the next month or two. Other than that. We are well and bored. Hope everyone is also well. Glad to see everyones new babies are fine and darling. Wish the best. Love Nowell's
