Updates.


The Chaplain sent us pictures he took of Luella and Kyla at the Army's birthday party. Here Luella is watching Tim get hit with a pie, or three.


Here Kyla is giving Luella water. It was such a hot day!


Luella had her 21-month sick baby appointment yesterday. She's 34 3/4" tall and weighs 30 pounds. She has a vocabulary beyond a 2 year old. Plus, she either has allergies or a summer cold. The Dr. prescribed Benadryl when we think she needs it.
On a bright note, yesterday was also the first time she counted to 10 all by herself! She really counted to 14, but skipped over 11 and 13!
Today we celebrated the Army's 233rd birthday! Tim's unit had a cake cutting ceremony and a Class A inspection. It was really awesome seeing everyone in their dress uniforms. Even the joint military personnel showed up in their dress uniforms.
After cake and lunch, Tim's unit also did a fund raiser - sponsoring pies to be thrown at others. Tim got three pies in the face! His consistently mostly marshmallow fluff, whipped cream, chocolate and strawberry sauces. Along with the pies, they raffled a Father's Day gift basket and they raised around $660! All the money raised goes towards paying for company t-shirts, the 20th Support Command annual ball, organizational day, and other fun stuff.
On Monday we start swimming lessons! Luella's good friend Sigrid and her mommy - Pastor Paige - will be in class with us!

KIDS!

Luella picked out her own outfit. She was cold, so long sleeves and pants. Then she was hot, so flip-flops. She loves her hat, so that worked in her mind too. Katja just looking cute, so had to take her picture too! Bath time for the girls and Luella decided that making Katja's hair stick straight up means she's a boy. We really don't know where she gets this from! Sorry if you're offended by the baby nudity/ inadvertent mooning.

Tim plays Army in WV.

Image
This is the Center for National Response. It's right off I-70 in West Virginia. It was part of the interstate, but the tunnel thru the mountain was too difficult for the state to maintain , so they let people train in there. They can make it rain, blow wind up to 40 mph, fires, explosions, all kinds of awesome training. Here's Tim's company at the entrance to the tunnel. Tim was playing Army while we were hosting Ginger before her big move. Tim and April Miller - team leaders discussing their missions from the day. Tim and his company commander, MAJ Alex Lovase discussing football, or something. Take cover! They have paintball gun attachments to their weapons so you can see where you got hit. One of the missions was to rappel down this hill... Then wade thru this tunnel for 1/4 mile in icy cold water to get to the objective site... As you can see, it was a really long day. Tim was the commander for this mission. The Soldiers had to traverse thru a collapsed tunnel....

Early Birthday Celebrations! (8/6/11)

Image
Kyla found Goobers sleeping on Kati's diaper changing table this morning. He was so cute laying there, Kyla had to get the girls in on a the picture too. We decided to spend this Saturday afternoon celebrating Kati's birthday. We went to see Cars 2 in the movie theater. It was cute, but like most sequels, the original was better. Kati had a coupon for a free meal to Famous Dave's. It came with a Roman candle! Look at the shocked expression on her face with the BIG CANDLE! Kati tried to blow out her candle, but it just wouldn't stop! Luella on the other end of the flames wondered if she really needed her eyebrows! This kid loves her ice cream! Happy early 3rd birthday Katja Johanna!
