Sergeant Matthew Kent

That's right....Matt finally made his points and is now a Sgt.!!!!! He won't officially be one until he gets back from Ariborne school and has his pinning ceremony, but YEAH...we are so proud of him. He has worked so hard and Daisy and I miss him so much! Only a little over a week.

Daisy and I have been busy going to school, playing volleyball at church and hanging out with out LIFE group. Daisy has been a trooper when I go to play volleyball on Monday nights. It's a late night for her, but then I get to sleep in past 6:30am. Arin, a friend, watches her while I play. I think I'm finally getting the hang of it. It's a lot of fun and hope to continue playing for fun. Ig uess there's not much else to say. We are just getting ready for Fall and preparing for our trip to Ft. Benning next week. Hope you are all doing!!

Chuck-E-Cheese Please!!!!

Well, Matt left on Thursday to go to Airborne school down at Ft. Benning. He just happen to leave the same weekend Ike was supposed to hit the coast. He wasn't effected by the weather, but was by the gas prices as we have been here as well. Anyways, since he left Daisy and I have been doing our own thing. We went shopping for gorceries, ran some errands, played with Juna and last night Daisy made her first appearance at Chuck-e-Cheese. Kerri (our neighbor) invited us to go with them. Daisy had a blast. There were only a few rides she could go on, but we did them a few times each. She went on the carousel, in a safari jeep, rode with Chuck in a red car, rode on the hand of a clock and on a caterpillar. She was very tired when we got home and went straight to bed. Thank goodness. I've been able to get some homework done after she goes to bed with Matt gone. :) Getting ready for another week of school and waiting for Daddy to get home. Talk to you soon....

One year pictures

Yesterday we finally got Daisy's pictures taken. That in itself has been a roller coaster, from nobody being at the studio to Daisy being in a bad mood and not smiling. We did the best we could yesterday and I think they turned out pretty good. I.....yes the Mommy....finally got to take a picture with my daughter by ourselves! Matt has had a picture with her every time we went. I was so jealous. In some of the pictures she wore just her little bloomers that say Daisy on them...they were from the Milburns. In the other ones she wore the dress Grammie made for her birthday. In some you'll see she has a yellow daisy.....she wouldn't let go of it. That was the only way we could get her to sit still. How ironic! If you would like to look at the pictures and order some, just send me an e-mail at mrskent_superwoman@yahoo.com and I'll get the information you need.
Daisy has been a champ as I have gone back to school and we are trying to get back into a routine. She is staying with our neighbor Kerstin and her little girl that is Daisy's age, Juna (sounds like tuna, but J sounds like U). Daisy and Juna get along pretty well. It's still amazing how she just walks all around the house. Next thing she'll be running!!!! Hope you had a great weekend! Until next time.....

Daisy's First Birthday Party!

So we had Daisy's birthday party on Saturday. I was really stressing out about how it would go. It went really well! We started off the morning by making last minute food and icing the cupcakes (which was my favorite part). The party was at 1:00. A lot of Matt's coworkers came with their families, along with our wonderful neighbors. We have never had so many kids in our house at one time before. It was neat to just watch Daisy follow some of them around. When we gave her a cupcake she wasn't too sure to bgin with, but after we let her taste it she really seemed to like it. She didn't get really messy though like we were hoping. Then we opened presents. She got so much stuff!! She got lots of toys and clothes. She also got a new and bigger car seat, which we have to leave rear-facing since she's not 20lbs yet. Bummer! We had a great time and I hope all of our guests did as well. I can't wait for her next birthday!! Here are some pictures from the party:
