Amarillo, Here we Come!!



Our family took a trip to Amarillo so we could go house hunting, find a day care for Kale, and so that I could go on interviews. Kale did a great job, considering he spent much of the time in his car seat being carted from place to place.

This is the crib the hotel gave us for Kale to sleep in. It looks like a jail cell!




Of course we had to go visit the Big Texan-the steakhouse that serves a 72 oz. steak. Neither Kris, nor I, decided to take the challenge. The food there really was not that good, considering how famous the restaurant is. I think they pride themselves on quantity, not quality.



This guy did try to eat the 72 oz. steak, along with a salad, 3 shrimp, a basket of rolls, and a baked potato. I am not serve if he accomplished his task, as we left before he was done. We looked at the record for this place and one guy ate all that food in just over 8 minutes. Another guy ate 2 meals within an hour! Amazing!





We did get a lot accomplished on our trip. I have a job! We found a house that we are going to lease (until our current house sells), and we found a great daycare for Kale. We will be moving within the next 3-4 weeks. We plan to take possession of our lease house around the first of August. We are not really sure about the town of Amarillo yet. Everyone is so nice, and it has a definite small town feel to it, however, it doesn't appear that there is too much going on. We did see 3 guys riding horses on the interstate. Maybe I'll take up a new hobby?

Kale found his tongue!



This video cracks me up! One day Kale discovered that he had a tongue. He spent the entire day (literally) sticking his tongue in and out. It was hilarious!

Father's Day



Kris was out of town for his first Father's Day. Kale and I were sad that we couldn't be with him! He was in China, so we sent along cards, so he could open them on the big day. Once he got home, we celebrated by going out to eat Kris' favorite kind of food-Mexican!

Kale got Kris a massage and a new GPS system (since his broke). I love this picture of my two boys looking like "twins." Kale has lots of polo-like shirts, so he can look just like daddy!

Heather's Visit







My childhood friend, Heather, came to visit Kale and I. We had a great time together and I was so glad she got to meet my little man. She has an awesome camera and she took these fabulous pictures. I told her she is my photographer from now on! She even captured Kale smiling, which is something we haven't been able to do, until now!

Kale and the Cougar






We had dinner with some friends who have a 4 month old daughter. We laid Charlotte and Kale side by side and they were so cute! Charlotte kept grabbing Kale's hand and lifting up her dress. I know she had no idea what she was doing, but it was hilarious! Kris started calling Charlotte a cougar for going after a 7 week old when she is a very grown-up 4 month old!

My Brother



My baby brother leaves for Afghanistan tomorrow. Please keep him in your prayers. He will be there until January or February. He will be located in the province of Marjah. For anyone who wants his address, it is:
Lance Corporal LCPL Lack, David, R.
2/6 F. CO
Unit 76274
FPOAE09510-6274

We are so proud you, David Ray, and can't wait to see you! We will miss you terribly!
