Busy Busy craziness!!!


Things just can't seem to settle down here! GAH! Chris found out last week that instead of testing for his promotion in June like he was thinking, he tests May 6th. That's right a whole MONTH early! Blah. SO that means no family time for us! LOL He's holed up in the man room pretty much from when he comes home til bed time, stopping for dinner, bedtime for Katie and then finally when he comes to bed! No fun for him! At least he decided to only take one class this 6 weeks, because I really think his head might have just exploded if he has to add another class to the mix! We went to Bowling Green this weekend...It was a nice little break. We didn't do much at all, but we got to go out for 30 minutes without kids!!! It was weird. We didn't know what to do with ourselves! Haha! How sad.... We're trying to make plans to go back later in May or so and we're going again in June for Mandy's wedding!

July can't come soon enough for me though! We're going to see my parents in Arizona!!!! I'm so stinkin' excited!!! I loved being there in January, but that was January....July is going to be a WHOLE different story I think! I'm more excited to be going with Chris this time and taking him sightseeing (yes I already have had him agree to go on a date with me to the Mesa Temple to go walking around. That was happy day for me!) So I'm excited and I think we might take a weekend trip to San Diego and MAYBE even Disney for Katie! It'll be so much fun (I hope) and now it's a matter of are we driving or flying! Driving in the Blazer adds at least 4 days on either end, but we can go visit San Angelo which we have been really homesick for (never thought I would utter those words.) On the other hand flying gives us more time in Arizona and not having to put the miles on the Blazer! Blah decisions, decisions! Well I think the kids are quiet for now so it's off to clean the house! We're having a baby shower here for one of my friends and the house is SO not ready for people! YAY!

Harmer Family Update

Things have just been insane here with us since we moved into the new house. Sicknesses and just all around fun for us! I figured I would update each person on their own!

Abby: She is a ball of energy now! It's amazing how different she is than Katie at this age! She's really mellow and just likes to take everything in. Not a fan of the tummy time though! LOL! She always wants to be held and loved on and is always smiling! We started solids about a month ago to see if it would help with the reflux. No luck yet, but you never know. She rolls now, but not often. I think she might be teething since she is CONSTANTLY drooling and chewing!

Katie Beth: Now this little girl is 2 going on 22! I swear she thinks she is an adult! She's turning 3 next month and I can hardly believe it! It's just so weird for me to comprehend! LOL! We are STILL working on potty training. I swear it feels like 2 steps forward and 3 back sometimes with it! We're going to try and get her going at the base preschool next school year and also in a dance class to get some of that energy out. We're at the why? stage and it's driving me a little nuts at times! She's talking all the time and loves helping with her little sister!

Chris: He is a busy, busy man! Now that he is off of Honor Guard I think he is BUSIER! Ugh! He's going to school full time and working full time! Right now he is taking a class called Managerial Econ and I really think the book is in some foreign language! He's testing for Staff next month so he also has to study for that! He's volunteering his tail off and also is going to try and run in the Air Force Marathon in September! Plus his normal duties at the clinic he's one busy guy!

Shelley: I'm pretty much still doing the same old. I'm going to be a Phoenix Spouse for the clinic, that pretty much is a person who welcomes newcomers, checks on spouses of deployed members and is the liason for the spouses at the clinic! I think it'll be interesting and help keep me busy! Still haven't had the chance to go to the new ward with the sicknesses we have been having, but hope to go soon! I'm planning to go to school in the fall and I think I'm going to major in Political Science. That's still up in the air! Hopefully it works out!

Well I'm sure I'm forgetting stuff, but as I think of it I'll post! Hopefully when the wireless gets hooked up I'll post some recent pictures of the girls and stuff!

Logan Tyler Hale



So my best friend Shelly (yes I know) had her baby Saturday. She is in Maryland now at Fort Meade, but we try to talk at least once a week. Little man was a whole week late! He was just too comfy I guess. I just watched a video on the family page and it was just beautiful. I'm not a crier and I was in tears. Maybe cause I wanted to be there so badly. Plus Tyler makes super cool awesome movies on his little mac. Hopefully sometime this summer I can make it out there to see him. He's just beautiful. I can't get over it! I love that little guy already!
