Leaving to see family

Adeleah and I leave tomorrow morning for 16 days with my family. During that time we will be at the Oregon State Fair for 11 days and there I will get to see a lot of my family and Gabes. It will be nice to see everyone before we move to Okinawa. Well Adeleah and I are about to go pick up Gabe from the base and get to be with him for the night. I hate how he was gone for a week and now we will be gone for two. I wish he could come with us:( Anyway, hope you all have a good two weeks and that everyone starting school with have a good time. Talk/see you all in two weeks.

This and That

1st- I got my hair cut just over a week ago. I love it. I really needed a change. The only thing I wish is that someone could come do my hair everyday for me. But it really hasn't been that bad because Adeleah likes to sit in the bathroom and play with everything she can get her hands on. So it lets me do my hair, and lets her eat everything. (not a great picture it is off my phone)
I just really liked this picture and thought the grandmas would like it too:)

2nd- My baby is growing too much, I can't believe she is going to be 6 months in a few weeks. Before I know it she is going to be one. It is hard to think that she is eating real food and playing with toys and just everything. Oh and she has two little teeth on the bottom. I found the first one and then about a week later/few days ago the other one cut through. (Picture)The other day I put her in it and she would just sit up on her own and play with the top of it/not the toys, what holds the toys. But I wouldn't change anything about Adeleah, I love her so much and she is just a joy to have.

3rd/last-Happy Birthday to Gabe. Sunday was Gabes 28th birthday. Gabe thinks he is old, which he isn't. But it is crazy to think that in two years he will be 30. I love my old husband:) We had a nice day just being together here at the house. He had to get ready to leave with the navy to the Bahamas, so we didn't do much. For his birthday I got him wii sports resort and a game for his psp. Wii resort is a lot of fun and Gabe played it more then he needed to and it put us up late packing. Anyway, Gabe left yesterday for a week to the Bahamas. Its not as fun as it sounds, they work a lot and unless you drink there really isn't much to do. Hopefully he will be back before Adeleah and I leave next week or it will be three weeks before we see each other again. This is the 2nd time since having Adeleah that Gabe has left, for the navy thats pretty good. Thankfully so far it has been pretty good with Gabe gone, Adeleah makes it easier then when it was just me alone. So we'll see how the rest of the week goes:) And hopefully I will hear from Gabe soon. I always hate it when hes gone, but love it when he gets home.

Oregon State Fair

Adeleah all ready for the fair.

Since my little family is going to move half way around the world we thought it would be good if Adeleah and I went home one more time. This way our families get to see her one more time before the move. And for those who know me and my family, you know how state fair is a thing that my family does ever year. All growing up I would miss the first week of school to go to the Oregon State Fair and show our draft horses. It is something that my great grandparents started a very long time ago. Anyway, Adeleah and I are going to fly out to NV and then drive up to Oregon with my parents for the fair. Plus this way Gabes family can come see us too. The very sad thing is that Gabe won't be able to come with us because of work and he is going to be gone the week before we leave. And we will only get one day together before I leave and that is if he gets back by then:( I am excited to be going to fair though, I get to see a lot of family and with moving it is just nice to be able to do.

Well about the move to Japan, we heard yesterday that we should be here til after the new year. Gabe will be with HS-11 till dec and then have sometime off before he starts schooling and then after that we will make the big move. Hopefully we should get the actual orders here in 2 to 3 weeks (that what we were told). And then that should tell us all the dates and everything we need to know about moving and getting things ready in Japan also. Gabe and I both have mixed feelings about this move. We are not excited about the housing over there, it is small, like a two bedroom is between 850 and 900 sq feet. Plus it is just going to be very different from what we are used to. Although we did pray about it and this is what we felt was right for us at this time and so we just have to remember that the Lord will be with us. And one nice thing is that we will get to travel all over and get to see a lot of that part of the world. Oh and I am going to kill myself over there, they drive on the left side!
My mom got all of the grand kids a pair of these. My great grandpa wear overalls everyday and so my great grandma got a pair for all her great grand kids and my mom wanted to carry it on.

5 Months Old!!!

Looking at daddy.
I love her smile.

This is a cute little outfit we/gabe had to get her yesterday. And I know I didn't need to put all three pictures of her in the same dress but I just liked them all:)

I can't believe she is 5 months already! She is the joy of our lives and we don't know what we would do without her. And she is growing up way to fast for the both of us. Gabe keeps telling her to stop it, but she just won't listen to daddy. Adeleah loves her toys and loves to play with us. She loves it when we play with her toy cow and make moo sounds, I want to get a video of it. She is starting to eat rice now and seems to like it. I had to start her on some food because she was driving us both crazy when ever we had food. She was always trying to help us eat:) The one thing I don't care for right now is that she will start to cry when ever we leave the room and she seems to want us right by her to play. So I will be happy when that is over. Adeleah is now in her own room and has been for about two weeks. She is doing fine other then the fact that she wakes between 6:30 and 7:30 ever morning. Which is fine because I get more done when I get up earlier in the morning. But it would be nice to sleep in with Gabe on the weekends. But I know that my sleeping in was going to come to an end at some point, its part of having children. Oh and she loves to talk very loud, which she is doing right now:) It is very much bedtime for her!
Well other then that she is just a joy to have and we love her very much.

Adeleahs farm, she likes to eat the pig and horse.

These we Adeleah and I playing the other day together.

As a side note: We do not know when we will be transferred, all we know right now is where (Okinawa, Japan). We hope to find out more this week about dates and everything. Right now I am just happy about finally getting orders but as for the rest of all this, I just don't know what to think. I mean in a year from now we will be living half way around the world and in a place were we don't know how to even talk to the people. But we have prayed about it and so I will be putting a lot of faith into this whole thing. And the main thing is that we will still be together as a family.
