New bike

Brian bought Abbey a new bike and she thinks she's the greatest thing on two wheels.

Yuma Territorial Prison

On the way back from CA we stopped and played at the Yuma territorial jail. We climbed around and had a great time.

SeaWorld

After Disneyland we went to SeaWorld. It was a fantastic place. We sat in the splash zone and we all got soaked!

These are HAPPY tears

We had the unbelievably wonderful opportunity to have had Brian home from Iraq for 18 days. It was the fastest 18 days we've ever experienced, but worth every millisecond. He was able to change his flight from Dallas to here to an earlier time so we could surprise Kassidy at school. It was so wonderful. Abbey had warmed up to him by the time we got to the car in the parking garage. We got him home to shower, since he hadn't had a real one in over 6 months!! Then we got Kassidy. She couldn't believe her eyes at first then she ran across the room and jumped in his arms. She was crying and Brians said, "you are crying" to which she replied,

"These are happy tears daddy!"

Even her teacher was tearing up!

This says it all

The last piece of the chain

Well it happened. We broke the last ring on the girls chain! Brian will be here this afternoon and we are so very excited. It was the first thing out of the girls mouths this morning.

We will be "logging off" for a while!

Our love to all.
