Farewell my friend

Today i received an email from a friend telling me that an old friend of ares that we went to school with killed himself and his wife Friday morning. He's not the first and he's not the last person to come back from Iraq and end up with PTSD. I hadn't talked to him in a log time but the few times that we did talk he didn't seem like a mad person yes he had some problems but what person wouldn't after being were he was, I don't really know what to say about all of this all i know is I'm sorry for his family and for his wife's family. Jason you will be missed you were a good friend. Here is part of the article from the paper.


The Nellis Air Force Base airman who died in what is believed to be a murder-suicide Friday morning was being treated for post-traumatic stress disorder, a base spokeswoman told the Review-Journal today.
What role the possible disorder played in his death is still unknown, Capt. Amanda Ferrell said. The airman, 25-year-old Jason Matthew Klinkenberg, was receiving treatment in response to events that took place during a five-month tour of Iraq between 2005 and 2006, she said.

Klinkenberg’s death came after a roughly two-hour standoff with police inside an apartment at the Craig Ranch Villas

Police said Klinkenberg’s wife contacted a friend, who called police about 5:30 a.m. claiming that Klinkenberg was holding a gun to his wife’s head.

When officers arrived, Klinkenberg retreated into the ground-level apartment and fired shots out of the window at officers. Police did not return fire.
About 8 a.m., SWAT officers entered the apartment to find the couple dead. Clark County marriage records show he married his wife, 23-year-old Crystal Klinkenberg, in July 2007. The Clark County Coroner’s office will determine whether the incident was a murder-suicide.

Klinkenberg was a vehicle operator with the 99th Logistics Readiness Squadron. Ferrell said he had begun receiving treatment for PTSD on base but was eventually referred to an off-base specialist.

Laughing

So last week the kids and I were in the bedroom cleaning up and Landyn was in his bouncer playing and i heard him and he was laughing so here is a video this it what he does when mom is folding laundry

update

So we have been in Washington for a week now and i am soooo happy to be back a few day s after we got here we had a play date with my friend Marissa and her two kids Hailey had a blast it was really nice outside witch was good the kids played outside in the back yard and Hailey loved it and to tell you the truth so did i, i didn't have to worry about her taking off or trying to run out in the street it was so nice so i think when we get are own place that will be one of the things on my list is a fenced in back yard she really enjoys being out side and for her to just go out and run it helps her get all of her pent up energy out and we all know how crazy my kid can be she is a wild one.

Well the kids are adjusting well with everything Hailey stills ask's to go home but i think that because we don't have all of our stuff and a place of are own i think that's why she is asking to go home but hopeful when we get a place of are own she will stop asking to go home or she will be like her cousin Caroline everytime she go to visit Nana and Papa she will walk in the house and say "nana and papa im home" but all together we are happy to be here.

3 months

Landyn is 3 months now and i can't believe it time sure does go be fast he has been sleeping through the night for a few weeks now well when he gets a bath ever night then he will, he is a really happy baby the only time he really cries is when he's hungry or tired or if he needs his diaper changed and then when his big sister sits on him then he gets mad. He is doing really well and we couldn't be happier

12 days till moving day

Well we are looking at leaving for Washington the first or the second of February, I am hoping we can have Landyn blessed before we leave. I'm not really looking forward to the drive i think if we leave at night it will be ok that way Hailey will sleep for most of the drive but with Landyn i'm not to sure how he will do, let's hope he will be a good travler....

Kiddie Kandids

Today we took the kids to Kiddie Kandids to get some pictures done, Mom wanted some nice pictures of the kids before we left. So Hailey had more fun playing behind the curtins then getting her picture done until the lady starting playing with her, Landyn wasn't really intrested in it i think he wanted to sleep more then anything and the only way i could get one of them together was for me to get in the picture with them oh fun!!!!!

Ear Infection

So today we went into Salt lake we were going to get the kids picture's done but we decided not to because thay have been sick and we thought it would be better to wait till they got better and i'm glad we did because we left Kiddie Kandids and wen't home and the whole way home Hailey cried she did not feel good so i thought i better take her to the Doctor and it was a good thing i did, She had a temp. of 102.3 and she has an infection in both of her ears.

This is the third ear infection she has had this winter so the doctor told me that if she has two or three more that we need to take her to an ENT and maybe get tubes put in her ears. So far this year is not starting out so well i just hope that it get's better not worse.
