Kaleb got a gift card for his birthday and a few cards with cash in them so he chose to get nurf guns for everyone for his birthday. i thought it was cute he wanted to buy something so we could all play together with that being said here is what went down when we got home.
it all started while i was rocking a SLEEPING baby in my arms and kaleb runs out and hides behind the couch. i then hear some whispering in the hall way on how they plan to "clear the room" for the escaped criminal. Kaleb begins to giggle, while jourdon and brett split up and take sides of the house. both carrying their new nurf dart guns they hold the criminal at gun point and make him lay down... jourdon then pats him down. as they check their info on the captive he escapes again. this same role play happened about 3 times before dylan and i decided to join in... we were the good cops, brett was the dirty cop and the boys where the bad guys.
i remember getting locking bad guys up in jail and getting chased by bad guys after by gun was stolen. Jourdon joined the good cop team and brett became a full on bad guy. Jourdon had the whole resting thing down!
"Freeze this is the police"
"stop right there or ill shoot"
"turn around and with your hands above your head back up to my voice"
"now down on your knees"
"Lay down and put your hands behind your back"
i think i know what jourdon will be when he grows up... he would even try to say something about their rights and to stay quiet or he will tell their lawyer. lol he was so into it.
this become a nightly routine for about 3 weeks then one morning all the nerf darts were gone... turns out jourdon all has a weird fettish with chewing on nerf material (he has done this to nerf balls too, not my kid hahaha)
we no play queen and king with their knights and jesters. i love this imaginary stage!!

changes near and far
on halloween this year my husband agreed to 4 more years in the army, altho in reality i know we have a minimum of 12 more years in this life style it still was bitter sweet! i am so home sick its not even funny and all tho last year around this time i was accused of putting my family on blast (which i still feel i didn't) i freaking miss every single one of them. i miss them on birthdays and holidays and even days in between. i miss family members that i have not seen in over 5 years... and people that i didn't realize had such an impact on me as a person! even if it was family members i only saw 2-3 times a year (or less) i feel like I'm missing those connections and i hate that my boys are not able to make those types of relationships! they don't even know what a cousin is.... i think about how so many of them have changed and it makes me sad knowing how fast time passes when you are not in it.
gosh i don't even know how to put into words all the feelings i have with out someone thinking I'm taking a stab at them but in all honestly i just want everyone who gets to spend this time of year with extended family to truly cherish it and soak up every minute of it!
its crazy to me the babys of my generation are in collage and making something amazing out of them selves!! not that i regret my family and getting married young because i don't... i just wish i could say i had a degree under my belt so you could say I'm jealous of my little cousins pursuing that life! there are babies in my boys' generation i don't get to enjoy and cousins their age they don't get to build a relationship with. and that just sucks! theres no better word for it
at the same time i miss germany and the life style and oh my goodness the holidays over there are so amazing and i wish i could experience that every year.
there are so many open doors in Brett's career right now i just ask for prayers that God has his hand in it... no matter where we end up or what brett ends up doing on a day to day basis i just Pray its where God wants us and needs us to be in our life. would i prefer the option that would put us close to home and amazing friends... yes. but sometimes thats not how it works and if we are meant to be in another location for brett to have the most out of the opportunities that he is presented with then i need to be happy and comfortable with that.
