Really need some rest.

I have been so sleepy. Maybe it is because I have been staying up past twelve almost every night or the two flights of stairs in our house or the bday party or maybe the extra workload from not having chris to help or maybe from being pregnant I don't know.....I have been in VA for a month now and I can't say I don't miss my friends in Missouri I didn't know how attached I was to those ladies until the day before we left. Chris has been gone for 17 days!! It feels like forever. I get to see my mom alot and am thankful for that I wish she would come and stay with us for the year .....I don't know why she wants to stay in a smelly old apartment. Contimplating on whether or not to find out if I am having a boy or a girl and going to meet with the midwife on friday. I think I might just have a surprise just for fun I am sure by the time I venture out of the house I will have had time to shop online for some clothes I will just get some yellow and white layettes and diapers of course. Okay I am sleepy and going to be it is 11:24 pm....

Deployment #3

Sigh....Yet another deployment. It seems the deployments get worse and worse each time. the first one to Quatar for 4 months, a relatively safe place and short time period. The next tasking for Iraq for 6 months (2 months completed) after 2 months of training a little less safe and alittle more drama. The next one just 9 months later to Afghanistan for 365 days! So sad and I am 3 months pregnant. However we are still blessed and have no need to complain, we are all alive and well and are getting to spend some time with family in VA. Week one is done though just 51 more weeks to go!

4th of JULY NOW and THEN

vs

ON GOVERNMENT

"It is impossible to rightly govern a nation without God and the Bible." President George Washington

"Whatever we once were, we're no longer a Christian nation." OBAMA

ON EDUCATION

"As a student of history, I also know civilization's debt to Islam." OBAMA

“What students would learn in American schools above all is the religion of Jesus Christ.” --GEORE WASHINGTON

In Benjamin Franklin's 1749 plan of education for public schools in Pennsylvania, he insisted that schools teach "the excellency of the Christian religion above all others, ancient or modern."

"But we also recognize the importance of good medical care for women, that we’re also recognizing the importance of age-appropriate education to reduce risks. I do believe that contraception has to be part of that education process." OBAMA

George Washington in a speech to the Delaware Indian Chiefs May 12, 1779

"It is the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey his will, to be grateful for his benefits, and humbly to implore his protection and favors."

Charles Carroll - signer of the Declaration of Independence Portrait of Charles Carroll" Without morals a republic cannot subsist any length of time; they therefore who are decrying the Christian religion, whose morality is so sublime and pure...are undermining the solid foundation of morals, the best security for the duration of free governments."

ON LIFE

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--

"I think it’s very hard to know what that means, when life begins." OBAMA

Patrick Henry said, "It cannot be emphasized too clearly and too often that this nation was founded, not by religionists, but by Christians; not on religion, but on the gospel of Jesus Christ. For this very reason, peoples of other faiths have been afforded asylum, prosperity, and freedom of worship here.” [May 1765 Speech to the House of Burgesses]

"Which passages of Scripture should guide our public policy? Should we go with Leviticus, which suggests slavery is okay and that eating shellfish is abomination? How about Deuteronomy, which suggests stoning your child if he strays from the faith?" OBAMA

Family Photos 2010

A Trip to the City

Today we went to Lees Summit and Independance Missouri. We took pictures at Target the boys did so well nobody cried and the photographer got some really great shots. christian smiled so hard his eyes were closed in about half of the pictures so that made it alittle easier to pick out which ones I wanted to buy =) Can't wait to get them back in a couple of weeks =) We took them to the Target cafe to reward them for their excellent behavior then to Costco and then to Chick Fil-A =)

Mountain View

So Good to see our family at Mountain View Baptist Church =) Love the Postma Family. I really hope we can go back to Vegas and serve the Lord with this church someday =)

Circus Circus

Circus Circus was alittle dissapointing because we got noah the all day pass but he didnt ride one thing he was so scared.....the only thing he rode was the baby merry go round that you put fifty cents in to ride.....Lesson Learned. Praise the Lord for God's protection Christian almost jumped off a roller coaster as it was starting to go really fast backwards.
