Yep It's My Happy Dance

If you been following along on this crazy roller coaster ride for the past 10 months & 2 weeks - I bet you can figure out why I am Happy Dancing around my house tonight!

I got the STOP sending mail email today from our Rear D & the "this is how Homecoming will go"  newsletter!! We are so close I can almost taste it to having my husband home after deployment number four. We have only told the boys a time frame that dad may arrive. Seeing as I've been there done that a few times I know that exact dates are  not a good thing to hand out. But oh how I am relishing the fact that we are almost DONE!!

Done skyping, done mailing care packages, done chatting on Facebook, done, done , DONE!! YIPPIE!! Now to make it through these last few little weeks by keeping busy. I think I can manage to find things to do that I didn't quite get around to finishing....lol
I hope all you still going through your deployments know the end does come eventually. I wish only good things as you travel on down the deployment road- you are never far from my thoughts. Now to start making hair appointments & planning the outfit....thank goodness.

Home to Washington

We traveled back to Oregon today to check on Banyan & we where so excited to get to bring him home with us! Jeremy was thrilled to learn we would get to take him home in the van to stay. We had another two hours of class & then off we went with Banyan & James. James is a friend's Medic Alert dog who was in Oregon for some extra training. He needed a lift back home to his Josh so we let him hitch a ride. The pups where so well behaved I almost forgot they where even in the van. Jacob came along with us & had a lot of fun. We are now all adjusting to the new puppy. Heidi is mostly unaffected & Panzer is not thrilled even a little bit! Hopefully after a few days everyone settles down into a good routine. We have lots of hard work ahead!

They gave Banyan to Jeremy- he was so happy

Jeremy was telling Jacob that Banyan was all his!

He Makes Me Happy

Happy Father's Day to my amazing best friend & husband! He is the best dad to our four boys & it always makes me smile when I see them goofing off together. We are so blessed to have eachother. I am so glad God joined us together & blessed us four times. I made a short little video using background music I heard from this weeks song link up over at Goodnight Moon. It's Lindsey Ray  "You Make Me Happy"  the lovely Crafty Camo Lover  had it linked up. When I heard it I LOVED IT! I must have listened to it all day long on Thursday. I hope you enjoy the video & everyone has a Happy Father's Day. 

 

My dad, my brother with his son Chris, my husband with our oldest Hunter on the boys first camping trip together in Alaska in 1998.

Also happy Father's Day to my wonderful dad! I love you very much & am so blessed that God put you in our lives. Here is a picture of my dad with my four boys who love him so much too.

This was taken when my youngest was only two weeks old- I really hope to get some updated pictures this summer when I go home to Tennessee for a week.
