a day from the deepest darkest recesses of hell......

:) oh what a day...

so we were supposed to be moved today....we woke this morning expecting our house to be emptied, and our stuff sent on its way... unfortunatley about 2 hours into the packing one of the german movers discovered a small nest of cockroaches... which cory immediatly destroyed, however, because the movers saw all five of the roaches they decided they will not move us untill we can prove the roaches have been destroyed... in fact they got upset with us because we had roaches. my responce was that we have had the maintainance people over multiple times to spray and poison and attempt the destruction, unfortunatly, all times have failed miserably... anywho, so we had the big head honcho pest control man over and he's going to go through our apartment and DESTROY anything that moves, that has more then 2 legs... anywho, so we got it worked out that we'll be moving our household goods on tuesday instead,,,,,SIGH.... BIG ordeal, theres a lot more that went on then im letting on, but i dont want to get restarted.... its late, and im to tired to vent..:D... anywho... so the main reasoning for updating is to let all our adoring fans know that we are now in the process of leaving this "fantasttically wonderful country..." (sarcasm included).. anywho. so yeah,.. we are computerless, and we are phoneless, and yeah, so as of now, if im able to update it will all be words no pictures for a very long time.. mid septemberish... so sorry,.. the joys of moving eh? anywho.. for our germany friends we'll miss you guys! keep in touch, you can e-mail sherry at Phyre_dancer@hotmail.com, if you feel like keeping in touch! for all my stateside friends, we cant wait to see you!!! come visit!!! we'll do sea world!! he he he...... LOVES!!

g'bye jazzy!! *sniff*

well we are one step closer to coming home, and I'm a little heart broken over it, but I'm also very thankful its over... so I've been in a bit of a panic lately because we had less then 2 weeks to find a new loving family for my kitty Jazmin.. you see, i had a vet appointment made to get jazzy up to date on her shots, and to schedule her to get her fixed, and well, as luck would have it, the morning of her appointment, i went into labor..so we had to cancel her appointment and when i tried to reschedule i had to accept the depressing news that she could no longer go home with us. she hasn't had a rabies shot yet, and she has to have one, and it has to be at least thirty days old before they'll let her on a plane.. and sadly, we don't have 30 days.. so i began to panic a little because we have less then 2 weeks before we are moving out of our apartment, and in with some friends, who i happen to know doest exactly like the cat. so my goal was to find her a new family before then.. well i called the vet clinic wondering what my options were and they told me of a fantastic website, i could post her on and if i was lucky some one would be interested. so i went ahead and did it, hoping and praying someone who needed a sweet and snugly kitty would find it. thankfully someone was listening! not even an hour had passed since i put up the ad, and my phone was ringing, so i told the lady about my sweet kitty, i told her our situation, and the cats situation, and she said she saw the pictures and LOVED them, and she wanted to know where i lived to she could come meet her, and see if there was a click. so i told her and she started to laugh, as it turns out, we live across the street from each other....it was a sign... so she walked over, and i let her into my apartment, and i handed her the cat, and there was a definite click....within seconds this lady found jazzy's "sweet spot" and had her purring... so the lady explained that she was planning on having this cat, but she needed to convince her husband. so she went home, and we decided to keep me from stressing out about it, we'd go see ice age 3, (way cute, way funny, just the stress relief I needed,) but we got home and the lady called to say her hubby was convinced and they wanted to come over and pick her up... NOW??!?!?! so now i wish i had stayed home and gotten in one last snuggle... then again it would have made it harder to let go.. any who.. they came and got her, and her belongings.. bed, kennel food bowls, food, what not, and she's hopefully in a PERMANENT home. the lady promised me she would be bringing her back to the states with them, she's planning on getting a pet passport so they can travel with her!! so i hope we did the right thing... the girls are sad, but they'll get over it.. it'll make things easier for the clean up, and well, i can sleep better knowing she's probably curled up in bed with her new owners, Cory was a bit allergic to her, so she couldn't be in our room... :) so now all we have to do, is get our apartment cleaned, packed, shipped, and we'll be done.. Cory's been doing briefings and out processing all week, I've had my dermatology appointment, i get to go in to get my birth control, cuz, i don't want another baby yet.... I'm good with the one i gots... cory's got a few more appointments, the baby has an audiology appointment, to make sure he can hear...and then we have a final WIC appointment where we'll get all the paperwork we need to transfer records and what not to Texas, so we can have some WIC down there, cuz, formula is expensive...

so we do have a lot to do. but hopefully the final week will be able to relax and spend some time with the amazing friends we've made here! hopefully...:D any who.. so that's it for now.. nothing new really... just a lot of "stuff" any who.. i have a few pics posted enjoy them!!

me-n-my baby boy!

he's so dang cute!!

i love holding him... he's just precious!

now some fond memories!

my little monster the week we got her...

my jazzy all growed up!! this is the picture that sold her.. the lady said she looked so regal..

she had the prettiest eyes... anywho... now I'm feeling all melancholy.... oh well..:D LOVES!!

Baby Shaun updates!

hello everyone!!
so we had the baby's 3 day appointment on the 29th of June, and it was awful funny, because the doctor started to explain what we already knew, most babies lose weight the first few days of life, and the goal is to get them back to their birth weight by their two week appointment. well as she was explaining this she placed my little man on the scale and wrote down what it said. then she stopped and startled to chuckle..he was born at 6 pounds 10 ounces, and at his 3 day he weighed in at 6 pounds 13 ounces.. OK so he put on weight instead of taking it off... cool! yay we were proud! :) so yesterday, being the 9th of July was his 2 week appointment! and they did the usual, checking everything, and then they weighed hi, and we are pleased to announce that my little man has put on a full pound! he's now 7 pounds 10 ounces! and he's so dang cute! see for yourself!

awwww precious!! :D he he he.. so he was also in our local news paper! Sherry submitted him into the "new arrivals" section..:) yes it has been clipped and saved for scrapbooking! :D

he's so cute, we can't get enough of him...

i finally got a picture of me with him..:) my chin is slowly getting better, I'm not so self conscience about it any more..:) i have an appointment coming up with the dermatologist, my usual medication isn't working as well as we'd like so we get to try something a little more aggressive, and thankfully because i chose to bottle feed, theres no medication i cant try!! so i can finally get to looking somewhat normal..:) hooray!!

any who, so the fourth of July came and went, we had a blast! we pretty much sat around all day and did nothing, until around dinner time, we went to the "rock in fourth" party the air force held, it was fun to walk around the girls got to get their faces painted!

the girl who painted nikoys face LOVED her, she said she was the easiest to please, all nikoy wanted was shapes.. a heart on one cheek, a star on the other, and a Circe and a square on each hand!!

Kaylee says : "it's a bumble bee" and she has a pretty firework on her other cheek..
we also let them go in a few bouncy castles, and do a few of those big blow up relay race thingy's..... they did fantastic! :) and had LOTS of fun!

Baby brother enjoyed himself too.. he had a nice long nap..:D

anywho, so after all the fun was spent we went home to barbecue some chicken! and wait for the fire works... which would have been fantabulous! if it werent for one thing...

the darn trees..... :) the ones they actually shot up high enough to be seen over the trees were pretty! and despite the tree's the girls enjoyed themselves...

so all in all, we've had fun! its been great! and will hopefully continue to be great! Cory finally got his separation orders, we're officially civilian as of july 30th! meaning we'll be on a plane home probably on the 30th!! so we're excited..we'll.. there will be people we will miss...we've made some amazing friends here and we'll be sad to leave, but thanks to the wonders of e-mail and blogger we'll be able to stay in touch!! any who!! baby's hungry!! LOVES!
