Our Crazy Adventure...

So we have moved across the country, some 2000+ miles. and we drove both cars for 4 days. we got some really interesting looks as we all piled out, 2 adults, (one of them quite large by now) 3 small children, and 2 stupid dogs (who just wouldn't stay on a leash). Everytime someone asked what we were doing, we would tell them and they would laugh and say "good luck with that" seriously though, we had an amazing trip. the kids were all perfect angels the ENTIRE time, and we had alot of fun in the hotels along the way!


<--somewhere in Virginia...

<--obviously

<--one of the many rivers we crossed that the kids loved!

<--I think this is Indiana?

<--this is what i saw alot of the time i looked over, Sammy or Adrie with thier head in the box of fish crackers

<--we stopped for gas here somewhere in illinois?

<--we stopped at alot of cool rest stops along I-70 but keeping the dogs contained was a challenge.  funny thing is i am pretty sure they did not eat for the entire trip.

<--we had to stop and play on the playground!  I have no idea where we were at this point


<--no idea

<--st. louis...my photographer is 5.  and that was the scariest city i have ever driven through!  People are crazy there!

<--kansas city, mo.  our favorite place!  our hotel had a water park attached to it and we had a blast that day!

<--kansas...nothing.  super flat with nothing to see.  very boring.

<--the kids all took turns driving with dad in the truck, and i think that was the key.  it was a special treat to have him all to yourself for the whole day!

<--in every hotel we had to get one of these carts and the kids thought it was the funnest ride ever.  poor daddy had to push it though! and it didn't really fit into the elevators

<--kansas city and some of the slides the kids would eventually go down.




<--the best part was that everyone slept all through the night every night, and we never had a single problem.  amazing.

so, in case you didn't know...

There has been a few things happening since we last posted...a few BIG things. First of all, we will be adding baby #4 to our family this July! It has been really fun to watch the kids get ready for this new special baby. They are getting very creative with the names they would like to name it. Also on our agenda, is a GIANT move across the country, to Feyetteville, North Carolina! I have never lived anywhere except Utah and Colorado, am a little freaked out...and did I mention that we will move about a month and a half before the baby comes? Awesome timing I know. ;) We are moving because Chris is doing Special Forces Training over there and we will be there approx. 18 months. Adrie was really excited once she realized that it would be close to the ocean. She went ahead and told everyone she saw that "we are moving to the beach!" Gotta love it.

october now...

took Chris up to the airport last friday to send him off to SFAS (special forces assesment and selection). http://http//youtu.be/FTVLKGsZCKc this is what he is doing, and it has been a dream for Chris for a long time (not the SFAS part, but the after affects) he tried it last year, but he couldn't finish because he blew out his knee. i hope he is doing awesome. Love you Babe!!!

the last bits of summer































we had such a great time...sorry to see it end

Darryl D...































So my little man is a tornado. He never ever stops! He can demolish an entire house in less than 10 min without breaking a sweat. he is a little boy through and through!he is very into catching bugs lately, and unfortunatly, we have an abundance...

So the kiddies started school...






















Adrie was so excited to go to school all day, she said that school lunch was her favorite time.







Samantha also started kindergarten this year. She has the afternoon class, and she is with her best friend Lillee. Thank Goodness for that!
