No Computer :(

Well, my computer has some problems and will not work for me, so I am out of a computer for a while. I guess I will be coming to the library more to check my emails. I have to send my computer to my mom to see about getting it fixed, the down fall of living in Germany. I never realized how much a computer means to me until I do not have one. I feel so out of touch with family and life.

Some pictures

Here is Devin at his first baseball game. He seems to like it and the weather is perfect for it.

I seem to have many American flags all over my house because I have been collecting them to send to Iraq for Memorial Day. Jarom likes to take them from me for fun. You can see it in his face!

A new trend in our house! Jarom started it, cereal out of the container.

Less than 200 days

I just had to post that it is less than 200 days til we see Daddy again. Even though 200 days still sounds like to many, at least it is not 365 days! Have to think positive :) I am just looking forward towards coming back to Florida the end of June for a month!!!!!

I have never really thought to much about Memerial Day until this year. I really do not like this Holiday I have come to realize. The reason for this is I keep seeing things on TV about wives that have lost their husbands at war and how they remember their soldier, not my favorate thing to think about.

Our first bike ride

I got a bike trailer for Dane's bike last October but never used it because it got to cold outside. I finally got it hooked onto the bike and went out. I was SO tired afterwards, but Devin loved it. Here are some picture we took while I took a break!

This week

Within a few days, we have been in Germany for 1 year. I can not believe it. Time flies...deployment needs to also!! I live and breath Army now so forgive me. One thing I remember when I first got here was the wonderful fields of yellow flowers. I love it! Here is a picture I finally got since I had to slow down driving. It was a cloudy day but you can see all the yellow.
April is the month for Military kids, so they had a kinderfest! There was much more, but I did not take pictures of everything. Here is Devin on a pony.

Always have to have the bouncies!

They had a little parade on Post

Beginning of parade

I have a weakness!

I do not know why, but I have such a hard time letting people help me. I guess I want to be super woman and do it all. I think I feel a little scared to rely on someone else even if it is a one time help. I really do not know why I am this way. A family from church offered to come and help me in my huge yard this weekend. It almost stressed me out all week thinking about it. Why?? I just wanted to call them and say, "my yard is not bad please do not waist your time to come over." But "NO" my husband talked me out of it! I kept my mouth shut and let them come. I could have never gotten all that work done by myself. They cleaned up things I would have never bothered with, but it looks so much better. Maybe this is what they call "good stress." I am thankful for the members of my ward and all they do to help each other as a ward family. Thank you :)

Devin

I have to say something weird is going on with Devin. He is actually helping me more. I asked him to do something and he actually does it, very weird for Devin. I normally have to tell him like 5 times before he would do something of me. He is such a helper with Jarom. I see him do the same as I do with Jarom to calm him down, so cute. I put my hand on Jarom's face and say, "it's okay." Devin has the same, so funny! Watching Devin be so gentle is very weird! I think having siblings might be a good thing for Devin or maybe he is finally growing up!
