And the baby is a...

So I made Terence a card to tell him the sex of the baby... So here's the pics! See for yourself what the baby is! :)

Gideon????

Ok so this is quite possibly the most hilarious thing that has ever happened to us. We had this cat. His name was Gideon. We got him off Craigslist last year for FREE when we were looking for a mouser, you know, because we live in the sticks. So he was the best cat EVER. Probably about 5 years old. All this loose skin like he used to be overweight, green eyes, fixed, and BIG. He snuggled inside, and caught mice, and spent half his time outside, bonus because it meant less mess in the litter box.

Terence was deploying, and my parents didn't especially want a cat at their house. So Terence asked around at work to see if anyone wanted a cat. Then when he thought he might be coming back he just tried to find someone to cat sit. He finally found someone. So they watched the cat, and we left to go to WA.

When he got home he started asking about the cat. Because of scheduling issues and busyness it took him almost a month to get the cat back. When Gideon came home he acted funny, wouldn't jump up on the dryer to eat his food, he was extra clingy and needy to Terence, and he wasn't really interested in catching mice. Weird.

So I get home a few days ago, and I start to suspect, this is NOT Gideon. First, he is smaller, and all his extra skin is gone. Then it hits me, this cat is NOT fixed. Finally I realize the thing that really makes him look different is that this cats eyes are light brown/yellow, and Gideon's eyes were green, super green. This is not my cat.

So who would pull a stunt like, that is what I want to know, and why? I don't care too much as long as he's nice and catches mice. I think the thing I'm most annoyed with is that now I have to pay to get this cat fixed, wormed, and vaccinated. The great cat switcheroo. Who knew things happened like that except in movies??? Hope you had a good laugh. I did.

Day 9

Last day of travel! 590 miles! We made it home about 5pm. The kids were super excited to be home and so was our little dog. I think he got the short end of the stick on this trip. He wasn't allowed to get out of the car except for walks and potty breaks the whole 9 days. What a champ, he made it! We'll see if I get revenge played out on my later! Haha!

Day 8

Today was our last day with the Oddens. :( We had so much fun though, running errands, lunch at Panera Bread, and LOTS of playtime! Terence decided he'd rather I tell him the sex of the baby then hear it accidentally so I made him a card(with Steph's help!) Here's some pics of it! Sad and super excited to be heading home tomorrow morning! NC here we come!

Day 6

We drove another 650 miles from Fort Riley, KS to Fort Knox, KY. This was after not getting to bed until midnight, and then waking up at 3am to Jeffrey crying because Ryan woke up and puked all over him. I swear one day we'll get through a road trip without any vomit, but Terence says I have to wait until all the kids the house! So we were on the road by 7 and made it to my good friend Stephany's house by 7:30. The drive was great other than one puking incident and I even got to pull over and snatch some flint from the flint hills! I know I'm a dork but I've always wanted to grab some! :) I also got the BEST gas mileage in my van this section of the trip!

Day 7

Today was spent just relaxing and playing and relaxing! The kids played inside, then outside, then inside again. It was so good to spend so much time with good friends! Steph and O stayed up until 1am just talking(shocker!) :)

Day5

We covered 480 miles from Denver, CO to Fort Riley, KS. It was a nice quick trip. The kids did great. We were stationed at Riley when the kids were little so I thought it would be fun to war dinner at their old favorite restaurant. Not my favorite place but the kids were so excited. We even ran into someone my hubby worked with in Alaska. See people, small Army world! :)
