Applejack's Pumpkin Patch



Today was Aiden's first visit to a pumpkin patch. We are really lucky to have a very good one here, about 20 minutes from our house. So, we went and spent the afternoon playing at the pumpkin patch. They had a big slide... And a petting zoo... There was also a pumpkin cannon, that Aiden and Jeremy both shot off. The first pumpkin exploded into little bits and pieces, and the second one flew so far out into the corn field that it was never to be seen again. They also had a hay fort. And of course they had the wagon ride out to the actual pumpkin patch. By the time we left, we had spent an entire 2 hours wandering around, but we found 3 "perfect" pumpkins to use for Halloween. Hope everyone else has a great weekend, because we sure are!

FURNITURE!!!!!!!!!

This is going to be short...really short. WE HAVE FURNITURE!!! Finally, after 2 months without it, we have furniture and our stuff. The movers came today, and unloaded all 9100 lbs. of it. We got about 15 huge boxes unpacked, and stuff set up in the rooms, next comes unpacking. Thank god for my mom being here, it should go a lot faster with her! Pictures will come sometime in the somewhat near future. Bed time for us now, sooooooo tired!

Just 'Cause

I have been horrible lately about sticking up pictures of Aiden. So, I thought I would make up for that and post a few of them from over the last couple of months. The first one is Aiden wearing Daddy's boots. He absolutely loves to wear Jeremy's work boots, and tries to put them on at every chance he has. They come of off Jeremy's feet, and immediately go on Aiden's.
Next up, is Aiden's first visit to the dentist. This was in August before we had left New Mexico to come out here to Kansas. He did a really great job of staying still and opening his mouth up for the dentist to look in, once he got past the fact that she was wearing scrubs. Scrubs mean shots and iv lines to him, since he has spent so much time around doctors due to being so early. But after we got him calmed down from that, he was more than happy to let her see his teeth, just like a big boy.
And last, but not least, here is a picture of him in our front yard here in Wichita. He really likes having so much grass to play in, even though he isn't quite sure what to make of it and all of the trees yet. He does like the sound and feel of the dried leaves crinkling in his hands though, and he does that a lot. Hope you all enjoy these pics as much as we do. Until next time...

Soon

Ok, so just a short little side note...We get our furniture soon!! October 6th it will be delivered. And thank heaven for mothers, mine is coming for 2 days to help me with the unpacking. Between she and I during the day, with Jeremy added on in the late afternoon, we should easily get everything unpacked in that 2 days!! I am sooo excited! Ok, that is all, enjoy life and be good.

Not quite Nowhere Land

Well, we have decided that Wichita is not quite Nowhere Land. So far we are enjoying the area a lot. There is a lot to do, and it seems to only take about 15 minutes to get to anything we need. Which is a very nice change. We have a house...and obviously, internet, finally! We don't have much else, being that all of our household goods, and furniture is still in storage. The military is slowly getting things online, and one of those things is the retrieval of household goods. And we didn't have internet access until today, so we weren't able to set up delivery until today. So, hopefully we will have our stuff soon. The house is nice, old, and super small compared to what we are used to, but it is home for the next several years at least. Aiden is doing great, and really enjoying the playground that is only 2 blocks from our house. The dogs are loving having a back yard again, and Jeremy is enjoying getting to actually do his job finally. He is having some back trouble again, and will be going to the doctor again for that this week to see what they can do about it this time, if it is the bulging disc again. I am doing pretty well, unpacking and trying to get ready for our actual furniture to get here. So, in total, we are all doing good. Hope everyone is having a good month!

Kansas

Ok, well we are here in Wichita now. We got here on Saturday, and have been staying in a long term suites hotel off base until we can get into our actual base housing on the 15th. We do have the address and everything, so if you would like it, email me or call me and let me know and I will get it to you. Until then, we have been making due with what we have. The past week has been pretty slow, Jeremy has some time off to get things with the housing sorted out, so that was nice. I do have a couple of cute pictures to stick up here from before we left NM. The night before we left I couldn't sleep, and I looked at both Jeremy and Aiden while they were sleeping, and they were both sleeping in exactly the same position. Just on different sides, it was so cute, they looked so much alike I HAD to take a picture right? So, I have a picture of each of them from that night :).

On a much sadder note, I heard from my mom today about a family friend of ours. A very dear man, Art Hutchison, who was like another grandfather to me, died on Tuesday of a heart attack. I am hoping to go home for his visitation and funeral this weekend. I just wanted to put his name out there in the world for others to know one more time. Art Hutchison was a wonderful man who was willing to do anything needed to help a friend in need, and I will truly miss him.
