Mo-Bear is coming home!!!

Morgan will be on his way home for R&R soon!  He's actually already started his travel home.  He is at Kandahar AFB right now and he will have to wait there for about 5 days!  He will then head to Kuwait and from there probably to Germany or Ireland, and the next stop be will be in the states!!!  We dont know where he will be flying into yet!  Once he hits the U.S. he has 15 days of leave!!  The kids are going to be sooooo happy to see him!!  I'm just excited because this means that he will have about a month off of work and that's a month of him being out of harms way!  He has a lot of traveling to do in the next week so please keep him in your thoughts and prayers!! 

3rd Times a Charm.....Right?!?

I had the joy of talking to Miss Delaney Lynn tonight!  Boy, that girl is cRaZy!!  She was all giggles and laughs tonight.  I would say one word and she would start cracking up....she has the best laugh, it's contagious!
I don't know....I just started thinking about how strong this little girl already is!!   Here she is getting ready to have her 3rd surgery(which is a lot considering she is only 4 years old) on Tuesday, and she is sitting on the phone with me laughing and being her silly self!  She is such an amazing little girl!!  For those of you who don't know what's going on with her right now....Dee has had constant sinus infections that antibiotics wont take care of, she is getting her adenoids removed for the second time, tonsils removed, and she also has some kind of mass in her sinuses that the Doctor couldn't make out.  So they have to go in and do a little exploratory along with cleaning her out.  Just think about how miserable it would be to have a constant sinus infection and runny nose?!  I would be a miserable person to be around....not dee though,  She has her moments like any other 4 year old, but she is happy and wonderful the rest of the time. 

I really feel that everything happens for a reason.  I pray that this is the last surgery she will have to have for a looooong time!  I know my sister doesn't think it, but she is so strong for being able to deal with all these medical situations with her kids.  I don't know how I would act if it was one of my mine.  They get sick and I want to cry because I know they don't feel good.  You never want to see your kids in pain, especially when they are so young.  I give her mad props for holding it together so well.  And I'm s  proud of both her and Kyle for taking her to Stanford and getting her the best care!! 
Her surgery is on Tuesday so I'm heading up there on Monday so I can stay back and watch Tanner along with my two kiddos since NO little ones can be in the hospital because of the stinkin swine flu!!!  They will have more fun back at the house torturing me anyways :)   PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE pray for Dee on Tuesday!!  We need that mass to be NOTHING!! and for them to clean her all out and get this little girl feeling good again!  She needs lots of thoughts and prayers PLEASE!!  I appreciate it so much.  Hopefully she will be up and feeling great by her 5th Birthday on November 4th :)  That would be so amazing!! 


I will keep you all updated on what happens.
Love ya,
Bri

Talked to Mo last night!

Mo-Bear called last night!!!! I hadn't talked to him since Sunday so I was glad to hear from him. HIS R&R DATES WERE CHANGED!!!! He's not sure why they got changed on him, but they did get switched to December 1st now. So he will probably be home around the 3rd?!? And who knows if this date will change as well? No, he wont be home for Christmas either:( HE will just miss Christmas, but that's ok...I think we will just have an early Christmas since it will be so close now. Heck, we might just celebrate AJ's b-day early as well that way he wont miss it! Although I was really looking forward to seeing him in a couple weeks, I think that this will be great to have him home so close to Christmas time!!! It's our favorite time of the year and it's such a bummer when we don't get to spend it together......now we wont feel like we missed out on it as much :)

He is doing good though! He gave me a list of some stuff he needs...I will post what he needs on here in case anybody is getting ready to send a box OR you can always hand the stuff over to me to add to a box that I'm sending if you don't want to worry about the shipping. I make sure that he knows who stuff is from and everything :)

What else, what else????? They switched their work schedule as well. They now work 3 days on the mountain that they watch out on, and three days off. It gives them a little more time to actually get a day off to relax. I guess that even when they are off they get called out on emergency things so they were ending up not really getting any time off. So, I guess this is going to work out better for them.

Around HERE:::Things are good! I just got done co-hosting Nancy's Baby Shower. It went well. It was a fun time and Nancy got soooo much wonderful stuff for Baby Sumo! She is going to be set for sure! I will post some pictures as soon as I get them loaded on my computer!

My mom has to move the Salon!! The building that they are in is getting tore down to put up at Auto Zone I think...it's some kind of auto store. We have been looking for new buildings and are pretty much between two. So once we get that narrowed down we will be moving the salon!! It's going to be bigger no matter where it goes so that will be kind of nice....more space is good!

Gracie and AJ are great! Gracie is a busy little gal at preschool and AJ is busy around the house and any where else he goes. He's always on the move and still getting more teeth in so he has his grumpy moments!!

That's all for now...I will post the list of stuff for mo and the pix as soon as I can!

Love to you all!!!

Kyle got home on Saturday night!

Kyle got back this last Saturday! He arrived in Sacramento Airport around 9:45 pm. The kids were so excited to see him and welcome him home.

Waiting...


AJ is so excited and tired...

AJ being silly. See his teeth?!

Britt made the kids some signs...

these vets were there to welcome home service members. A group of Marines were on the same flight as Kyle was.

Britt digging a sign out of the trash

There they are...

Ok, so look at the vet in the picture below....you know this is why they welcome these guys home. There is nothing in the world like it...

Big papa see's his big mama :) ha ha...

He hasn't seen AJ since he was 4 months old.....he has changed just a little bit.

So the Hackett Fam is all back together and enjoying their new home and new schools.
