No visiters For a while

I new one of the hardest things about moving away would be not having everyone close to us. We have had a lot of fun in December my parents came Ben's mom and Brother came. But now it's just us:( We have a lot of work in the next couple of months so I know I will stay busy but it is always hard at first. We have had a very blessed Holiday with Family and events like Reagan's very first dance performance. And soon the kiddos will be back in school and the house will be so calm all day. I love having the kids home and wish I had it in me to homeschool but I do believe that is not my calling:) I hope everyone had a great Holiday full of Family and fun!!

Going to give it a try again

On our Land I love the trees with snow all over them

I am going to try to start the whole blog thing again! So much has happened in the two years since I have been on here. For one Elijah two we are out of the Marine Corps three two moves. We have bought a house in Idaho with 55 acres and could not be happier. The girls are love their school. All the kids are loving playing on the land they go out and sled almost everyday lately. We have had snow on the ground for about 3 weeks now so loving that. We have had to buy a new car with four wheel drive the 2 mile up the mountain drive was killing the mini van. But all I know is so far we love it. It is very hard being away from the family and we miss them a lot. But my Heart tells me this was right for my kiddos! Our new little town Emmett Id

Lost Marines

We lost Marines today and although no it was not Ben this time one of the men who was hurt is now in the hospital in stable condition in icu. He has been sadated and probably has a long road ahead of him. Although i will not write everything i know or have heard know this his wife and children are such good people and it has broken my heart that this has happen to them. I pray that he recovers fast and not only his body but his mind heals. This is a part of the war that not everyone sees first hand but i can say it was one of the hardest bits of news i have heard because she has been one of the sweetest people i have met in my life and my heart aches for her. I ask that you pray for her and her husband and their children.

We have a date

Just a small update to everyone Ben is coming home i can not post dates for saftey of our Marines coming home but stay tuned i will post pictures of him hugging all our little babies!

Walking

Mason has been walking for a little while now but is getting better every day. I finally caught him in a couple of pictures enjoy!!

We had to take him in last night and we are back to 6 breathing treatments a day and he is on steroid's which he does not like at all. Poor little bugger i pray that the meds work and he recovers fast. I will put a couple pictures up a little later.
