Best Beach trip EVER!

So we went to the beach and had lots of fun! Mike and i are from the west coast where the water is COLD so it was so awesome to play in water that was warm! The girls loved playing at the beach and loved going fishing and seeing dolphins. It was a great family vacation!





the first time we have ever been to Florida!

why Kadee why?

She did it again for the millionth time. Yes that is her hair all over the place and that isnt all of it. you cant tell in the pics of her head how bad it actually is, its REALLY bad unfixable cut to the scalp. atleast she left some down at the bottom! She cut some off the sides too, so the only way to make it not completely noticable is to pull it all up but even then it all pokes out everywhere so she has about 6 clips in her hair always now!


The other day Kadee got bored and decided to Have a snow day! She dumped out the entire contents of a foot powder bottle, the poor dog was sleeping in the closet and got snowed on but didnt even wake up for it. The picture again didnt do the damage any justice, i vacuumed forever and its still all over!


Last night we think Kadee turned on the gas on the stove and left it on ALL NIGHT. I woke up so many times last night and had some crazy weird loopy dreams and everytime i woke up and smelled something weird. finally at about 3am i realized what the smell was, GAS and ran to the kitchen and saw the gas was on. our entire house was filled and it was awful, i wasnt sure if it was bad for us or not so i googled it and said we could be poisoned or something and that we needed to call the fire department because we could explode. FREAKY! Mike of course blew it off and said we were fine, and went back to sleep. Once the windows were opened it got better and i was able to breathe better. Im so grateful that I was finally able to realize what was going on, we were truly blessed that we didnt blow up last night!

IBOLC Graduation

The Graduate! Mike is FINALLY finished with IOBC (Infantry Officer Basic course) Hooray! Now he is going to Ranger school, boo! Im not too thrilled with him being gone for atleast 2 months but I know he needs to do this and has been waiting to go forever now so its about time. He leaves Sept 13th and is supposed to graduate Nov 11th if all goes well, apparently a lot of it is luck, hopefully they like you so they arent jerks and recycle you just because they can. He is VERY anxious to go but is very ready to go also. After Ranger school is over he will immediately start airborne school which is 3 weeks and then we will have 5 days to clear out and move. Im so proud of you babe for putting up with a bunch of crap and getting through it! Watch out Ranger school G.I. Mike is on his way! Oh ya he made the Commandants list! go mike! i put a video of all the guys singing, i love listening to them all sing it's hilarious!

a FIRST for us all

FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL!!!!

So today was Kadees very first day of school ever and since she is our first child it was the very first day of school for Mike and I. Mike got back from the 10 days of being in the field yesterday so I was SO EXCITED that he got to be her for a milestone. We sat down with her last night and talked to her about what to expect at school and what she needed to do if she needed to go potty and that we dont go to school to hit or bite and that she needs to always share and listen to her teacher. I was nervous because Kadee definitely has a mind of her own and most of the time always does her own thing regardless of who is around, i mean shes really social and LOVES to be around other kids but if they are doing something she doesnt want to do she will go off and play by herself, which is a lot of the time. Ms. Rowe her teacher said she did really well, she blended well with all the other kids and had no problems. I was relieved! Kadee practically kicked us out of the classroom when we dropped her off, some of the other kids were hanging around their parents but kadee ran off and said bye. That was it and I had 3 hours to do whatever, i didnt know what to do with myself, I only had one child with me and and extremely easy child at that. I think Kloe really liked having one on one time with mommy, she loves her sister but she also loves her mommy!

Its time to PRIVATIZE

So my sister sent me an article of a woman who found someone on the internet selling her son. No joke, This person stole a picture off of her blog and was trying to sell him. That hit home a little bit, I had a guy from Holland awhile back email me because he wanted to know why I had named our daughter "Kloe" and why i had spelled it that way. I asked him how he found me and said he had googled the name "family de Kloe" and got our blog. So that was weird, he was really nice and emailed me some pics of where he lived, very beautiful but again I dont think I want just anyone being able to read my blog and see my family. So it's time to make things private. Mike being in the Army also is another reason why it's smart for me to privatize ourselves, some things will be coming up in our lives that shouldnt be out in the public eye. Anyway leave a comment and give me your emails if you want to be a part of the Happenings in the Conforti World.


Sorry i havent updated in awhile, nothing is really going on other than Mike being gone for the last 3 weeks and then being gone for another 2 and then being gone for 2 months and then 3 weeks and then possibly a year. So Im trying to enjoy every second with him that i get with him. After Saturday i might have something worthy of blogging, I get to go watch mike in the field attack a town at night. Its going to be pretty cool! There is going to be air assault, and massive things exploding, mortars and grenades going off, its going to literally be a war zone, and we get to watch. im excited!

P.S. I will be private in 2 weeks, so hurry and give me your emails!

G.I. JESSICA

Watch out here I come! Today was soooo fun! Today was family day in Mikes training, we were invited out to go learn to shoot machine guns!!! We had a quick briefing then a quick lesson and then we were able to shoot the guns with our husbands by our sides. It was really cool to be able to see what Mike does at work, that usually never happens! We got to shoot 2 sets of blank rounds on 2 different guns. I think one was called the b240 bravo or something like that and then we got to shoot one set of live fire rounds at targets. I had so much fun hanging out with Mike shooting these monster bad machine guns! It was really hot and I was dying, I dont know how these guys do it everyday with a million pounds of gear!
