Pictures of our summer travel

Kendra, Kayla, Katelyn, and I have been doing alot of traveling this summer and have been lucky enough to see many of our family and friends. Our stops have included Fort Leavenworth, KS; Boise, ID; Cheyenne/Hillside, WY, and we are currently in Pueblo, CO. We will make our way north to Fargo, ND and will then head back home to Fort Campbell. We have also been lucky enough to meet Tom's and Becky's significant others - one pictured, one not! :)We are so blessed to have so many wonderful people in our lives... I wish we had more time to spend with everyone, but I will take what I can get! I hope everyone is having a great summer! Hugs, Stefani

More pics of our handsome army men:-)

For those who don't know... Scott deployed with the Army this June back to Afghanistan for another year. My brother, Ed, deployed, with the Air National Guard for a 45 day rotation in Afghanistan. Due to different obligations, always military related for both, Scott and my brother had yet to meet... until they both ended up in Bagram, Afghanistan at the same time! So, I threatened them both (with thoughts scarier than the war zone they are in) that they better try their hardest to meet and I better get a picture of them meeting for the first time! Low and behold I received the above picture in an e-mail from Scott! They were able to meet up with one another in Afghanistan. It must have been a bit sunny because Ed looks like he is squinting, but I was so excited to see a picture of them both! They look great and I am so proud of them both!

Anyway - I just wanted to share this picture with everyone! Have a great summer! Hugs, Stefani :)

Mean Machine. . .Turns into mud machine.

Here is Steve's new toy. . .The Mean Machine! It is huge!!! Just keep in mind that Steve is 6'2" and that truck dwarfs him!



Here is Steve breaking in his new truck. Yup, they got it stuck out in the middle of nowhere. There were there for 13 hours waiting for help to travel by convoy from up north.
This is the ONLY time Steve will ever be able to reach the turret while standing on the ground. Compare this to the first picture and you will see how buried this vehicle actually is, how deep it has sunk into the mud pit.

On a different note, notice their shirts? Aren't they neat. Instead of having to wear their shirts and the heavy ACU top, they have these new, lightweight shirts to wear. Helps keep them cool. I guess they got those shirts just in time.


That was a long day for Steve and the rest of the guys on the truck. But there Steve is, looking at the mess they're in and smirking, still finding the humor in it all.

New Music

Alright, I thought I could create two play lists, one for my blog (check it out!) and one for this blog, but I have to fill a play list to start a new playlist. So somebody needs to get on the sight (just push, "Create your own playlist") and make some music for our family blog!
Sheralan, how is Steve? Maybe you could fill everyone in on what he's going through right now, I'm sure Devri, Chelsea, and Kathy would want to know, plus then we can all be on the same page!

Lil' mail problem

If you have recently (within the last 3 weeks) sent Steve any mail, please let me know because I'm trying to keep track of what he'll actually get after they had a bit of a problem with the mail. Four mail trucks were blown up and so he may not get some packages.

From Tom

Looks like Tom is actually taking his dates out to someplace nice!
