A place to call Home

So Donny and I moved into are own place just a little over a week ago and I'm so happy and Hailey is to she has her own room she just started sleeping in her own bed we still have some work on that but she is doing good. Yesterday we got everything put together we still have some things in boxes and they will be staying there for now but you have to remember we moved from a house to an apartment, I think we had about 20 trips to goodwill and 1 trip to the dump but it's all together and we can now call it home and we are so happy

I finely got it

I finely got one of him smiling it only took me 4 months but i got it, I love this one he is such a handsome little man.

Baby Foods

I started Landyn on some rice cereal on the 4th he did really well and he likes it i think i have feed it to him a few times since then and he does really well with it as you can see he has it all over his face and when Donny saw it i thought he was going to get sick he can't handle food all over the face but there is more to come.

4 Months

Landyn is 4 months and 7 days old today and i can't believe it he is getting so big way to fast, I took him in for his 4 month check up on Monday and he is 13lbs 12oz and 251/4 inches i thought he was maybe around 15lbs but not just yet but soon he is such a happy baby and i couldn't ask for anything more

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.
