I just got back from WI to see Brock one more time before he flew out to Afghanistan. He flew out on Fri morning at 1:00am! They flew to a small country called Kergestan or something like that! They will be there untill tomorrow or the next day. Its been great because they have internet in their tents so we can email back and forth untill he leaves. The trip to see him was a blast! I drove out there with Brocks parents and Swayzi. We camped at walmarts and campgrounds along the way. We also stopped at Crazy Horse and Mnt. Rushmore. Swayzi traveled so good for a 2 yr old! We were all so impressed. Once we got to WI we stayed at a campground in West Salem WI wich was about 30 min away from Ft. McCoy. We toured the countryside and saw some really cool old barns and farm country. But mostly we just enjoyed our time together and tried not to think about him leaving! Now its back to reality and school is starting so hopefully that keeps me busy! The kids are very excited for school and sad summer is already over too! Lets just pray this year goes by fast!!

Well Brock has been gone for almost a month now! 1 down 11 to go! The kids are staying busy with summer activities. Going to Grandma and Papos alot swimming and catching Frogs. Kivan caught the tinest frog i have ever seen the other day! He loves catching bugs and frogs. He is all boy! School starts in 3 weeks and I am so not ready to send my kids back to school! I love having them home for the summer and getting to play and just be kids! I guess we will be doing the dreaded school shopping here soon!
