So far

Okay so Aaron is finally in Oklahoma. I drove with him last week. We took Haylee with us(she can still fly for free) Connor and Hannah were off to Aunt Becky's and Grandma Greenwood's and Grandma Lesher's. I was only gone for 6 days. They got to spend time with everyone. By the time Friday rolled around i was ready to leave. With the swine flu going on ,and I was going to be flying I wanted to get home to be with my kids and be there in case anything were to happen.
I was really proud of myself I didn't even cry when I left Aaron. Of course I will miss him but i was ready to get home to my kids and be done traveling. We figure driving was about 20 hours. We had to stop every 3 for Haylee. It was a long trip. Aaron has started school. He says that it is boring. He learns it really fast and there isn't much to it. I am hoping that he can come home over memorial day it would be a break right in the middle of the 6 weeks. It has only been 3 days, but we are doing okay. I am hoping to get caught up on some projects. With it being the end of the school year the kids have a lot going on at school. And the swimming pools will open soon. So i hope that the next 5 1/2 weeks will go by fast. But who is counting right!!

So I had to take Haylee to a nutrionist today. She is 19 months old and only weighs 16 and a half pounds! She is in the zero percent tile. So we have to "power pack" her. Extra calories! How would that be to eat all you want TO gain weight. She has 3 weeks to gain 1 pound. I hope that she can do it. She is so little. Everyone always asks how old she is and is surprised that she is 19 months old.
By the way for anyone who doesn't know yet. She is FINALLY walking! She started to walk about 3 weeks ago, and hasn't stopped. She is so quite too. She walks up to you and you didn't hear her so you turn around , and knock her over. I guess that she figured out that she out walk faster than scooting to get away from the kids.

WE HAVE A SCHOOL DATE!!!!
Aaron finally has a school date. May 1. We are so excited. We have been waiting 6 months for this. We had no idea that it would take so long. Waiting and not knowing was a killer. His school is in Oklahoma City. He will be there for 6 weeks. We figure 6 weeks is nothing when he was in Iraq for 6 months. After he is done at school, he will start working at the Salt Lake airport. While he goes to school I will stay here. I am going to drive with him there and then fly home. We are stopping in Clovis to see all of our friends. It is so nice not to be in limbo anymore and we can start making plans for the future. This has been great news and we are very excited for what the future has in store.

Las Vegas

We just got home from Las Vegas last night. We had a good time. Aaron loves to gamble and play in the casinos. We walked the strip and went to the Coke and M&M factories. We got the kids some fun things. We went to the outlet mall and the miracle mile mall. We did alot of shopping. The highlight of the trip was going to Phantom of the Oprah! I have always wanted to see it . It was my valentines present from Aaron. I loved it, it was a night that I will never forget. We saw the water show at the Belligo that is always a favorite. My kids stayed with my sister and my parents. Haylee is teething and doesn't feel good so she wasn't alot of fun to watch. The other kids loved it though. It was great to getaway,but good to get home.

Hannah's first day of dance class

Not very much was accomplished. She ran around the floor the whole time. But she had fun
