Happy 25th Birthday Matt!

WOW! Matt is 25 today. He's getting old! This morning I got up and made cinnamon rolls for the birthday boy. I had to wake Daisy up to celebrate with us. Then he opened up his presents. From Daisy he got a book by Tim McGraw called "My Little Girl" and from me he got a Night Stalker blanket. Tonight we are going to Old Chicago for a birthday dinner of pepperoni pizza. Here are some pictures from this morning:

November Already!!!

So it's November! Wow how time flies....its seems like just yesterday Daisy turned 1!! Well I guess since the last entry, we attended the Fall Festival at church. Daisy was a pumpkin, Matt was Danny from GREASE and I was Sandy from GREASE. We had fun handing out candy to all the children. It was a long couple of hours though. Last week Matt made a trip to Florida for a few days for work and I have been going to school. I guess when you're in school that's all you do. Our upcoming adventures in November are the weekend before Thanksgiving Matt and I are going to a marriage retreat in Nashville at the Opryland Hotel and Mama and Daddy are coming up to keep Daisy. That'll be our first time leaving her alone over the entire weekend. It'll be interesting!! Then for Thanksgiving we are flying to Maine for the weekend. What a busy couple of weeks we have ahead. I also had finals to be studying for..YEAH!!

FUNtastic Fall!!!

Well we have been keeping busy since Matt got home from Airborne school. We have definitely been enjoying the beautiful fall weather, on the days that its cool!! We went to a fall festival a couple of weekends ago, here in Clarksville where Daisy got to pick out her own pumpkin, decorate it and she got to ride a pony! She really liked and sat very well. Then last weekend was the BN Fall festival for Matt's shop. We had it out at Cav Country. They had face painting, a chili cook off, tic-tac-toe, a hayride, infatables, swings, a pumpkin patch, and lots more! We had a lot of fun! Daisy got to get another pumpkin and this time she really did pick it out herself. Then we (or I) decorated it with poka dots! She also got her face painted with a pumpkin, but would sit still long enough for then to finish it so she just ended up with a orange dot. :) Then that Sunday, Nana and Papa stopped by and went to church with us. We ate lunch at Cracker Barrel and then hung out for the afternoon. It was really nice for them to visit. Yesterday we went to Dunlop Park and took Christmas pictures for our Christmas card. Those pictures you'll have to wait and see when you get it! :) Thanks to a friend we were able to keep it cheap and simple. She took great photos. The rest of the weekend was spent relaxing and watching football. Score for GA Bulldogs and Notre Dame, they both played great this weekend!! Hope ya'll have a wonderful week and Happy Halloween!!!!

Matt's home from Airborne school!!!

Matt finally got home Friday night from Airborne school. It was a long three weeks, but he made it through without breaking anything!! He graduated Friday morning. My parents went to the graduation because Daisy and I couldn't go. With gas prices and driving all that way by myself was a little too much. They got pictures of his graduation and here they are....

We've been busy working and going to school and taking care of Daisy. He finally got pinned this morning during formation. I got to do it and we are so very proud of him!! He has been very busy making his way up the ladder and deserves every bit of it. He'll soon be going to WLC, Warrior Leader Course, as part of becoming a noncommissioned officer. It's here at Campbell and last 14 days, so another 2 weeks without him. This weekend, we are going to try and relax some. Tomorrow afternoon I am going to a friends house to help out with her kids (her husband is deployed and she just had a little girl on Friday). I'm staying through the night, so Matt will be a single parent for a night. We'll see how that goes!!! :) Have a wonderful weekend!!!

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.....
