Tomorrow is moving day! I can't believe we're actually leaving 29 Palms! This post will be short and sweet. Josh will be here any minute. The girls are in bed and I just wanted to hurry and let everyone know I probably won't have access to a computer til we get our house in June so don't be expecting any posts!! I can only imagine how many pictures I'll have to show you when that day finally comes! :)
Love Love!!

Queen Procrastinator=Me
Look at my little 16 yr old hairy boyfriend!!
I should nottttttt be online right now but I'm a self proclaimed procrastinator! I promise it's in my genes... :) Honestly I can't do anything right now anyway because we are out of boxes. And it's suuuuuper windy outside (what's up with wind and the desert?!!!) and it's a chilly 52 degrees YUCK! I'm cheap and not willing to go buy boxes with my credit card, but I'm too lazy to go looking for boxes too! Actually, not too lazy, I just don't want to get the girls out in this weather. I need Josh desperately!! My friend has some boxes that lives over here but I can't just leave the girls in the house by themselves.. Yesterday was our preinspection & he was seriously the nicest man ever!! He was just like, "it's not a white glove inspection, we just like to see that you tried cleaning it". When we moved out of 801 Aztec in '08 the inspection was totally WHITE GLOVE they were opening doors and looking in the cracks for DUST/DIRT! As if packing up and moving isnt stressful enough, let's add INSANE CLEANING to the list! Thank you LINCOLN MILITARY HOUSING for taking over 801 JUST in time for our move! You're awesome!!
Kinsley is doing GREAT with potty training!!!! I know this is TMI to some people who don't have kids but I was so proud of her this morning, she felt on her little booty and goes "Mama, I think I need to go poo poo" and what do you know, she went and got on the potty all by herself and went!! You can only imagine how much I praised her. I think its been a whole entire week since I've changed a dirty pull up!! & after THREE YEARS of changing dirty diapers EVERY SINGLE DAY you could say I am one Proud mama!!! :)
Tomorrow is Friday and Josh will be coming home
Saturday is moving day
Sunday is cleaning day
Monday is final inspection & we're off to Camp pendleton :)

Overnite Beach Trip
Hidey Hidey~!~!
Thursday was Kinsley's first serious potty training day, and I have good news, she's getting much much better! I think she has told me 2-3 times "Mama, I think I need to go tinkle" and she's gone and done it! (I've found she thinks the word "tinkle" is hilarious and it makes it fun for her to be able to say it..) I told her on Friday NO MORE PULL UPS! Only big girl panties. I do ask her every couple minutes if she needs to go and I take her in there even if she says no, but I think it's only been two or three accidents but I don't care, She's ALMOST THERE! Woo hoo!!
Saturday Josh came up with the bright idea of getting a U-Haul and putting our things that's already packed up into storage. So, that's what we did! We fit a good bit in there! And that'll make things easier for us on Saturday, too. So that's what we did Saturday, packed,loaded, unloaded. Then Sunday he needed to leave earlier than usual because he had some tests to do. He stuck around as long as possible but then said he needed to really go. I told him I wish we could go with him.. And he said well go pack! So I did :) We followed behind him and he also had Dallas with him so we had to stop shortly after to let him out to use the bathroom, Kinsley then decided she wanted to ride with him, FINE by me because she was fighting her sleep so it was constant whining and I was ready to have 2 hours of quiet or at least listening to the radio. We fiiinally got to Oceanside and we got a room at the Comfort Inn. It was such a nice room! So big!! He went & took his tests then we went to San Onofre (the place on base where he works and where we're requesting to live!) I want you to know it has a sign right before the housing that says "San Onofre Beach 1/2 Mile"!! 1/2 a mile? Are you kidding me?!?!?! I was a giggly little school girl when I read that and we drove down to it. I could just imagine me strolling the girls down to the beach everyday! I was so amazed. It was really chilly cause it was like 7pm before we got there! But we stayed and let Kinsley play for a little bit then we had to go back to the room & get to bed cause Josh has early mornings..
I don't know why I'm being such a baby about Josh being away from us but he really misses us too! I guess we are just use to being together. I just feel like I'm missing a huge part of me when he's not here! And I don't have as much fun everyday with him being gone. I find myself saying "I'm bored" and I NEVER say that!! But like I said , I am being a big fat baby. Cause there's so many ladies out there without their men for months So I have no room to complain!! Anywho we got up this morning and I took the girls to another beach on base called Del Mar.. Once again VERY chilly but I let Kinsley play for a long time because I didn't want her little smile to go away. But then she ran up to me and said... "Mama.. I peed on the beach... Ober dare (over there)" Haha! That was our ticket out of there.. We drove all over the base just sight seeing because It was my first time being at Camp Pendleton's base!! I have to say I am sooooo excited to live there! It's just so different from 29! There's green EVERYWHERE, not sand, haha! Flowers! It was just beautiful to me, maybe I'm just easily amazed. After a very long time of wasting gas, we got to the San Onofre beach again and I was hoping to hear from Josh so we could go eat lunch with him but by the time he got signal he had 5 minutes to get back to class :( So, I decided we'd head home.
We're now home and I need to finish packing everything. It's not much, thank goodness :) I am truly going to miss 29 Palms. Josh & I both like it here. It's not a lively town but we like that about it.. There's a ton of stuff we won't miss though thats for sure! Can I just say 115 degree weather in the Summer?? I won't miss you!!!!!!! ;) But he & I both have made great friends out here and we will miss everybody..
I have pictures (of course)

I feel good!
FINALLY! A day without headaches and fatigue!!!! I think it was back in January my friend Chrissy suggested Green Tea supplements for a little bit of energy boost. So I started taking them every day and noticed a big difference in my energy level (Thank GOODNESS! Mom of two, definitely take all the energy you can get!) But I ran out of them probably a week or so ago, and ever since then I've been having headaches and I am soooo tired!!! Today I had no choice but to run to Wal Mart & buy some! I took two and I feel so much better. SO, any moms or even non-moms out there needing a bit of energy (and I hear they're just plain ol, "Good for you" & they curb your appetite, too) I suggest "Mega T". But to clarify, I'm not trying to "lose 20lbs!" like the box says it can do. Anyway! I'm through w/ my advertising campaign paragraph....
Other than going to the beloved Wal Mart today, we also went to Yucca Valley Self Storage to make a payment for the storage building we'll have. It seems really silly to me that we're moving out and putting our things in storage for not very long at all and then moving it out and moving into another house. But it's what we want to do and I'm REALLY excited also because we will get to see Josh hopefully every day instead of just the weekends.. I can't wait to get to Camp Pendleton in 10 days!!! Josh told me today that HOPEFULLY we'll get the housing that's closest to his work because it's in walking distance of the PX, the commissary (I think he said that) the Library OH and it's just a mile-ish to the beach! He said you can see the ocean from the commissary(or PX, don't remember), uhhh I don't think I could Be more excited! I'm really hoping we get that housing so he'll be close to work and I can MAKE myself walk places instead of drive. He's planning on selling his Jeep to his friend so that knocks us down to just one vehicle but I've never minded sharing! :)
I am getting so discouraged with Kinsley and her potty training! I never thought it would be this difficult! She's so stinkin stubborn. I've tried harder today more than I ever have, hopefully it'll get easier and I am REALLY hoping that once we're living w/ Megan & Elijah (he also turned 3 in March) she will want to be a big kid like HIM and go potty! Help Megan!!! haha :)
Tomorrow is Josh's grandmother's (aka GRANNY!) 70th Birthday!! I thought she deserved some pretty flowers on such a big birthday so I ordered her some on ProFlowers.com (oh my word, I wanted to buy them ALL!) and she got them today and called me crying, she was SO thankful and it just made me feel so good for doing something nice (even though she very much deserves it). She's such a sweet woman and I am so thankful Josh had her in his life to grow up with & we have her to love and appreciate now! We love you Granny!!!!
I took pictures of all 3 of us today so you'd have something to look at.. And I also did silly pictures yesterday on this website called FaceInHole so I'll put them for your viewing pleasure.
Lots of Love,
Chynna
Please excuse Kinsley's unladylike pose, it's the only pose she'd do.

Packing;what I do best.
Hidey!
Josh got home late Friday night but I had a yummy dinner waiting for him! To make a long story short, he is staying in school, therefore we will still be moving out May 1st. Still be moving to Camp Pendleton in the end and still non-deployable (my favorite words)! Today my little Abby had to be Mommy's alarm clock.. around 6! Yikes! Not to mention she woke up at like 1 to eat, which hasn't happened in a while, but she got shots yesterday so I think she was just in a bit of discomfort! Actually I took both of the girls to the doctor yesterday morning, Kinsley was a nightmare! All he wanted to do was get her weight, and she cried and fought me and the nurse to not get on it! It was SO embarrassing!!!! All I could think of is how I wish Josh was there to help me, maybe scare her into doing it or something, I don't know! I mean I even bribed her with gum,candy,cake, I even said the magical words "CHUCK E CHEESE" and she still didn't budge!!! She has been STUBBORN since the day she was born though, that is a known fact. Finally I got on the scale WITH her and jumped off just in time for her feet to FINALLY sit on there. My word! That wore me OUT and that's exactly what I wanted to do to HER but I couldn't lose my cool in front of a nurse and her doctor, otherwise they may just think I'm crazy and refer me to a psychiatrist. And I just couldn't fit seeing a psychiatrist into my schedule yesterday.
Anywho, back to today.. I'm not a hugeee breakfast eater. Don't get me wrong I love BACON and BISCUITS but in the mornings I'm just not starving but I've always heard to not skip breakfast. So yesterday I looked online for a good Smoothie breakfast. I can drink in the mornings, I can handle a smoothie. So I bought me some frozen strawberries and this morning I got the blender out and actually made myself a strawberry smoothie! That's the closest thing to healthy food I'll probably ever come, so be proud of me! :) It was really yummy so I guess I'll start making them every morning.
Since I was up so early I got a head start on my first day of packing up.. I realized quickly that packing by myself isn't going to be a easy task.. One minute in to packing, Abs was crying wanting to take a nap.. I get her to bed and finally start packing! Then it's only natural that Kinsley's doing she shouldn't be. She's typing like a maniac on the computer keyboard and all these boxes are popping up on the screen asking "Delete?".
... Ohhh the JOYS of packing!!!!
I've actually accomplished a good bit in the tiny amount of mommy free time I've had though! Can't wait for Josh to come home this weekend and really help me and help us find more boxes. Well, I hear my little one making a dirty (hahah TMI??) and Kinsley's eating something I DID NOT give her so I've gotta run
Love!!!!

Ball pit turned Swimming pool
Yesterday was another beautiful HOT day so I decided to take Kinsley's old "ball pit" and turned it into a swimming pool! She was so thrilled, I even put Abs in her Bumbo so she could join in on the fun.
Someone help me! Kinsley has been talking like a baby for a few days, and I'm just about to go crazy. It's not constantly all day, but she won't quit! Instead of saying (like she use to) "mommy, I want sumpin to eeeat" she will say "EAT? EAT? EAT?" In a baby voice. And just now she looked out the window, with that baby voice "Pool!? Pool!?" I keep saying Kinsley, PLEASE quit talking like a baby and talk like a BIG GIRL I know you can! But she keeps doing it, and it's not cute or funny anymore. I would better understand this if her SISTER was talking like that because I've read that sometimes the older children will talk like the baby when they start talking but she isn't talking yet. Ahhhhhhhhh!
Anywho, onto Josh and his update.. Yesterday was really his first day at his school. They had to get up early to PT (and I mean EARLY!) and I'm not sure what else they did. Whatever they did, he didn't like, apparently. He called me and told me he's afraid he's not going to like being an instructor.. I'll keep my opinion to myself right now and just tell you he's coming home this weekend and we're going to talk about it. So hopefully Monday I'll have an update for you! Other than that, he's sooo home sick! He keeps telling me he misses his girls, especially Kinsley. And that he went to the store and saw a pacifier on the ground while walking in and thought of his baby and got sad. Haha he's so cute! I'm glad the feelings are mutual! We don't like him being away either, Kinsley has said so many times, I wish Daddy was here.. I miss daddy.. Daddy will take me to the playground when he gets home today! We're hoping he gets off work at a decent hour today so he'll come back today instead of tomorrow!
Well, guess that's my update for now!
Have a lovely weekend!

Big splash! Abby looks like she didn't appreciate it!
Kinsley "swimming" :)
