But.......

But... he loved the box his toy came in most of all! Isn't that usually the case? Lol

Happy Birthday To Parker!

Parker insisted on mint chocolate chip ice cream for his b-day! (also Geoff's favorite) Does Brayden look like he enjoyed it?

Parker also loved his chocolate cake but....

Fun at B-Day Dinner...

Kelsi and Brooke are having fun at the B-Day dinner!

B-Day Dinner...

Does Jim look like he's enjoying Parker's B-Day Dinner?

Too Cute...

I went to a fun class at Traci's and made this bag and matching cards. I'm going to put pics of Brooke in them because the flowers remind me of her bows. Oh yeah, and I'm going to keep them cause they're too cute to part with!

One Beautiful Sunset!

This is a pic of Alex and her beautiful roomies just before they went out last weekend.
I think she may be having too much fun! What do you think?


This is a picture Alex took of the Rexburg LDS Temple close to her apartment. She even used her phone to take the pic. When she was home Christmas she kept telling me about the beautiful sunsets there. I told her that they couldn't be as beautiful as our Texas ones. I guess she proved me wrong. It is One Beautiful Sunset!

What Happened?

Ahhhhhhh! Spider man showed up at my house! He was scary! What happened to my Jordy?

Loved Catching Up!

For those of you who love the Hendersons like we do............ Jim and I were able to attend the Henderson-Proctor wedding. We had a great time and loved catching up with the family! Don't they look great!

Crazy, Huh!

This is part of a conversation I had with Geoff while instant messaging him the week after he got back from Qatar. While he was gone 4 of his friends were killed and he wasn't happy about it. The above pictures of him are what I saw while talking to him;

Geoff - Tell grandpa we've been working really hard all week trying to locate all the terrorists in Baghdad with all the stuff going on and because of my teams work, we were able to locate and kill over 200 enemy Saturday alone. And this week General Petraeus will be briefing our work specifically to Congress. Crazy, huh! My team has been getting a lot of acknowledgement over here. It has been a very rewarding week for us. That new coin I got was from General Cartwright who is the highest ranking General in the air force. Also a 4 star General.

Tell grandpa when I come back I can probably tell him some really cool things he'd like.

I wish I could do more here, even though we do a lot to help out. I feel bad for all the guys who have to go outside the wire everyday and risk their lives to accomplish things I just put on paper.

There was a civilian here the other day that said the only reason he comes out here as a contractor is because when he is here, a soldier is sent home. So every time he comes out for a few months someone gets a break.

Jennifer - You don't realize how much sacrifice war requires unless you have experienced it.

Geoff - That's true. It is nothing you could ever know without experience. Like yesterday, me and P----- were going to chow and 3 to 4 missiles shot just overhead us and made us jump and run and then today P----- told me she had nightmares all night about being killed by one of the rockets. It affects you in ways you can't even imagine. I think I have a completely different outlook on life and the kind of person I want to become.

Jennifer - Why did the air force General give you the coin?

Geoff - I helped his team out and they helped me out on the way back from Qatar.

There was a secret agent there that asked me if I could do somethings for him real quick without me knowing who he was or why, but I helped him out cause I wasn't doing anything else and then they helped me out with the flight back here (Baghdad). I flew on the General's personal flight, with his special agents and General Cartwright.

Jennifer - Wow!

Geoff - Ya

Jennifer - Did you tell your Sergeant you got the coin?

Geoff - Ya, I showed them all!
