May 5, 2007....Deployment Day

We took Kevin to Fort Bliss early on Saturday morning and spent most of the morning with him. He sent us away before they had to load the buses, which was real hard. But then, saying goodbye is never an easy thing. The hardest part was driving away, seeing him standing in the parking lot and not being able to turn around......

We miss you and love you! See you soon......

Look, we have the same smile.......

Caitlin pouting. No telling on why.

Us

Kev and Nic

No, we did not forget Nic, he was asleep
Bre taking a pic of us. She loves to take pics!

What is that???

Does he look confused or amazed? Nic could not stop staring at the garage light last week!

Amry Wives Prayer

Dear Lord,Give me the greatness of heart to see the difference between duty and his love for me. Give me understanding that I may know, when duty calls him he must go. Give me a task to do each day, to fill the time when he's away. And Lord, when he's in a foreign land, keep him safe in your loving hand. And Lord, when duty is in the field, please protect him and be his shield. And Lord, when deployment is so long, please stay with me and keep me strong. Amen.

Kevin mowing the yard....He loves it!!!

How cute are they?
Kev flying kits with his girls. Not sure who has more fun with the kites....

Elephant Butte Lake, NM

We had such a great time on the lake! The five of us rented a pontoon for a few hours. Kevin let the girls lead the way at times. It was the perfect way to spend his last Sunday of no work for awhile! Going out on the pontoon made both of us want one, so of course, Kevin has started looking into it. I am not too sure if Bre enjoyed the boat more or taking pictures! She had so much fun taking pics with my camera.

Us

The girls had a blast running



Nic.....swallowed by his lifejacket! He slept the entire time out there!

Bre leading the way!

Can you tell that Caitlin is enjoying herself?

On the way to Elephant Butte, NM

We spent the day together driving through a small part of New Mexico, ending up about two hours away from our house, in Elephant Butte. Elephant Butte Lake is the largest in NM, right in the middle of the desert!
