Sanding the rust before the painting began. Notice Uncle Markie in red. Thanks to everyone who worked on Daniel's Eagle Project. Even Hannah. It was a 'blast'.

Especially after we got the air less paint sprayer.

Thanks everyone!!!

Just wondering if anyone took any pics of Uncle Markers big homecoming?? Please share if anyone has anything, Thanks-Love you all!

The last days!!!

This is the last set of random Pics of my deployment. It has been one crazy ride, One that I am happy to be done with. This first one is of me with my gat and a snowcone at a Baby bash concert. It was a concert that I would have never gone to or paid for, however it was a lot of fun.
Me in the transition tents with some delicious pizza and local Pepsi.
This is the night we were supposed to fly out needless to say we didnt make it out. This was the worst sandstorm to date. Everyone was so mad I had to break up two diffrent fights. I was sad But I knew everything would workout, and it did.
The most welcome sight of our whole deployment, going home.
Unwinding in Kuwait, I was a natural. I love you and will see you all soon all my love Mark jr

Happy Birthday Gregory!

Happy Birthday to the yellowest boy I know!! This is a big step birthday, my baby is now a boy! I am sooo proud to be part of Gregorys life he has a heart that I can't even begin to comprehend, he is so intelligent, he is such an awesome big brother and the best child I have ever had four years ago!!

The whole in my back yard, pathetic.

The dirt from whiting brothers, free.

The bobcat Brother Gibson rented for us to use, I am sure how much, but a lot.

The whole filled in after 8 hours of labor, thanks to Brother Fox, Day, Rohas, Faught, Elesworth, Ovley (my home teacher) and the man who made it all happen Brother Gibson. The way I felt at the end of today priceless, they all said this was thier pleasure and they couldnt be happier to do before mark came home.

Madeline and Dustin loving the new back yard. They palyed for a long time, and got really really dirty.

......THIS JUST IN.......

I received a phone call 30 minutes ago that Mark had landed in Fort Dix New Jersey. I am so excited that I had to share with every one, after all it's only 6:15 am. He will be there for a few days and his tentative date to arrive home is still the 25th. Yeah! it's such a blessing that he is here and heavenly father had answered our prayers. Madeline and I prayed really hard last night that we would here from him soon, because we haven't talked to him in a few days. He called us at 5:30 am to tell us he is state side. This next week is going to be very difficult and I am not sure I can keep it together much longer. We have all experienced the Military and how they work, and waiting is the worst especially when we don't his exact date. Don't forget about his party on the 27th and the out of towners are more than welcome to come, I just assume it might be a far drive. Well that's the latest and I will tell everyone when he arrives at the Armory for his homecomming ceremony. Were in the home strech now!

Against my better judgement..

I went ahead and posted about the baby, taking for granted that I have had three healthy and uneventful pregnancies. The baby miscarried and the docs believe it could have been an ectopic pregnancy. They are just waiting for some more blood work to verify that theory. All is Well, and we will get right back on that horse. Please don't feel sorry for us, I just feel bad that I didn't wait the recommended 3 months to announce and now the reason is staring me right in the face. I feel like a fool for getting so excited but we are just going to keep working on making a healthy baby!

Baby Wims expected (TBA)

I hear once your outnumbered it's just another baby...

Anyway, that's what people tell us...So here's to completely throwing off the parent to child ratio!

BABY WIMS
expected May 4, 2009

We can't wait!!!
