Aadric found the coolest bug

Libbie's friend Katelyn calls Aadric a "Bug Freak". Thats an understatement! But we have such different bugs here than TN, its fun to learn about them, I know way more about bugs and reptiles that I ever dreamed,because Aadric has such a passion. After a few minutes with him, you can't help but think that the they are the coolest things too:)

We found out that this bug is called a "Leaf Footed bug" or
"Giant Mesquite Bug"
We found out from one of our favorite websites www.whatsthatbug.com

June 2nd Michael pins CW3!!!

Michael is pretty excited to be a CW3, it means more respect and the best part... more money each month!
Yeah!!!!

Kaedrin turns 5!!

May 31st:
Kaedrin has waited for a long time for this day and has asked daily for about 6 months,how many days until his birthday. He spent the day doing his favorite thing,(I'm glad his birthday was on Saturday,because that is the only day he plays the Wii) Then he had the cake he came up with,which was "white cake,with strawberries,whip cream and big marshmallows" Dad filled the Hot tub up and the kids loved that. Then the got to hit a pinata!

Sad news...

I wish I could always relay the good,but that is not what this life is always about. We found out this thursday, that our littlest Allan would not be born. 9 weeks gestation. We will look forward to the next time, hopefully soon.

Our new home In Hereford AZ!

Here is a picture I took from a flower in our yard.

Well,We made it and have finally settled. This month has been such an adventure. So I put our pictures and some captions on Picasa,It has pictures of our home, here is the link: http://picasaweb.google.com/jenneeallan

We are MOVING!!

Yeah, so it all happened pretty fast. We found out there was a chance we would PCS to Fort Huachuca AZ in March. April 8th we found out for sure. One week later we got orders and now on Friday our stuff gets packed and loaded. Wow, we both said it still hasn't hit us. We have loved it here. Our home,Tennessee,our neighbors,our ward, the people Michael has worked with,our foster care company, and out girls that we have had in our home. We are sad, but we may come back in a few years, or so the Army is saying. I don't mean to hurt the Army's feelings ( as if they had any) But I don't trust them, sooo we shall see. This will be our 10th move in 12 years of marriage and our 6th state. Libbie is sad to leave her best friend. Aadric is thrilled to go because there are scorpions, tarantulas, lizards and cool bugs. I don't know if Kaedrin gets it,but he said if we take the Wii,that is what he is excited about. What Michael is excited about is that he will be doing what he has waited a year and a half to do. Work with UAS's. And heading up the first training of a new kind of UAS. The ERMP. ( yeah, I don't remember what that stands for).
I am excited because we will be 10-12 HOURS AWAY FROM FAMILY!!!!!!!!

They are so sweet.
