The Gohn Family

Back in Germany

2011-12-16T13:55:00.000-08:00

Oh where should I start? So much to write about.

The O'Neil family came to visit us in Colorado in October. We had a wonderful few days, actually much too short for my taste. We showed them a little bit of Colorado, mainly the mountains, indian cliffdwellings and did some hiking. It was great, and we all were sad to see them leave.

Jason put in his retirement package. Next year August we are done with the military. It looks like we will move back to Missouri. To say exactly move to Springfield. I look forward to be with our friends and church again, but I have also heartache to leave my wonderful friend and niece Sina and her family!!!!! God knows, and HE is good as always!

On another note, my mom arrived in October to stay with us till March. 2 weeks ago, my cousin Andrea called us to let us know that her mom, my aunt Hilde (mom's sister) got killed by a car. It was terrible. We decided to fly to Germany for the funeral and to be with my cousin Andrea. We arrived here on the 7. of Dec., the funeral was on the next day. It was a very sad time.

Leeanna and Tommy stayed at Sina's, Jason had to work, which left my mom, Timothy and me to fly. Last year in Nov. we had to bury my dad, this year in Dec. my aunt Hilde. It made me realize how important it is to keep friendships up, to spend time with friends and loved ones. Because there will be a time when you realize what was really important in life. It should be our Creator, our family, friends, lost souls and then the rest. We should never put aside a chance to witness, a chance to share our faith and hope. And yet, how often do we put the Lord first? Just something to think about.

We will be flying back home on the 19. of Dec, next week. Can't wait to see the rest of my family again.

Whoever reads this pray for wisdom and guidance, please. Pray for the ones I got to witness here in Germany. Catholicism is so strong here, and the people are so blinded. I am so sad for them.

Well, it is time to go to bed. It will be great to look at places to live. Good Night!

Looks like I am getting better in keeping up with my blog. I just read Carie's blog, which included a letter from Sam. He is in Mexico helping a church in their ministry. Please pray for them, for their safety and their missions work down in Mexico. Their family is very dear to my family and me.

Jason told us yesterday that his retirement may come up as soon as June next year. It is a little scary, but we know that God is in control. Now the question is: Where does God want us to live and serve? I wished again that HE would write letters or emails. We do want HIS perfect will. I like Colorado because I am close to Sina, my niece, but I also like Missouri because of our friends and church. Well, I trust that God will show Jason the way. Guess it will also depend on where he can find a good job.

Back from Family Camp

2011-07-28T07:29:00.000-07:00

Here are the friends at Family Camp, during the service, front row: Hannah Means, Ashlynne, Libby, Leeanna and Tabby.
What a difference in size: Jackson, only 2 weeks older than Timothy
A visit at the Cliff Dwellings in Colorado Springs.
We are saying good-bye to Camp Pomme de Terre
Grandma Bev at out camp ground in Iowa.

We are back from Family camp in Missouri, back from our vacation. We had a wonderful time with our "old" Church family. As a matter of fact I got saved on the only Sunday we worshipped with Calvary. Well, maybe I was saved before (which I still think I was), but every time I heard about the rapture I thought, what if ... I will be left behind? It scared me. So I asked the Lord to guide me. I went to the altar to pray and had a feeling I need to talk with somebody. Pastor Merrick directed me to a lady who didn't know my past. We talked for quite a while, and finally I asked the Lord to forgive me and save me. Even if I was saved already, now I know without a shadow of a doubt where I will spend eternity.

Tommy and Leeanna were in Texas to spend their summer visitation with their dad. Jason picked them up in Arkansas on Saturday. It was great to see them again. The following Monday we drove all together to Camp Pommes De Terre. It was wonderful to see old friends again. The Means came also, and I enjoyed so much seeing them, visiting and catching up. They still have a special place in my heart.

The preaching was great, as a matter of fact, the Lord spoke to me (and also to many others, Leeanna included) on the last night of camp, Thursday night. It was about having a duty as a Christian. How much witnessing are we doing? Do we put faces to the "great and small, standing before the Great White Throne"? The ones spending eternity in hell? We need to go out and talk to everybody we come in contact with.

But the best of all happened on Wednesday night, the 6. of July. Tommy got saved. He thought he got saved when he was 5 years old, but had doubts. That night he felt a tug on his heart, and he made it right with Jesus. I rejoice with him!

After camp we spent a weekend with Brother O'Neil and his family in Springfield, MO. We had a wonderful time of fellowship, just like we had with the French family the weekend before and the Lawhons. Brother O'Neil showed us around. It is a beautiful countryside. We felt like buying land and moving there. But we will see, what the Lord has in store for us. We took Leeanna and Tommy back to spend 3 more weeks with their dad on Saturday.

After that Jason, Timothy and I went on to Iowa to see his mom. She is in a nursing home and not very happy. We had Sina and Ben's pop-up camper and stayed on a nice camp ground. The weather was nice, not too hot.

We are back in Colorado now, weather has been great, sunny, but rain every evening. The only thing growing is still only the weeds in our yard. LOL. We need to do some landscaping.

We will pick Leeanna and Tommy up on Saturday and then spend a week with Sina and her family, before she is having her baby.

OK, that is all for now. I will try to attach a few photos. Have a wonderful weekend!

A Cup of Coffee and a Piece of Cake

2011-03-27T20:50:00.000-07:00

It is awesome what our "German afternoon coffee and cake" can do: Last week, during my daily coffee and cake time I got a call from a wonderful friend of mine. Actually it was her husband (with her by his side) trying to call my cellphone. I didn't recognize the phone number and was also on the phone with my mom in Germany, so I didn't bother answering. After this "person" tried to call again, I was wondering. When finished talking to my mom I checked my voicemail, just to find out, it was Sam Means calling, telling me that they are having a piece of cake and coffee and thought about us.

For the ones of you who don't know about the Means Family: We have found each other in Lawton, Oklahoma, where our families were stationed, in a Fundamental Independent Baptist Church (in my opinion best place to find good friends). Our friendship was, best way to describe it, wonderful!!!!! Tommy and Samuel Means were only two month apart in age, Leeanna and Hannah were about the same age as well. The kids loved each other. Well, Carie and I.... I would say we did too. Our hubby's liked each other (I think). LOL.

Anyway, the Means Family moved on after (I guess) about 2 or 3 years. Our kids really missed them (not to mention I missing my best friend). Carie and I both home schooled, loved to talk, loved the Wildlife refuge, and loved to drink coffee with some cake.

Now they moved on to higher calling: They became Missionaries to Mexico. I am blessed to call them my friends, and I am so proud of them how they manage their lives (not to mention their diet), but I surely would like to have them closer (just being a little selfish).

Carie was my inspiration with a lot of things: the love to have more children, the desire to have a home birth ( has not happen yet), healthier living as far as eating habits and sharing my coffee and cake with a wonderful friend. We just clicked, I would say.

Well, after I listened to Sam's (Carie's husband) voice mail, I wanted to kick myself. But instead I called them back (they are in Mexico). We found each other on Skype (got to love Skype), chatted and laughed for quite a while, and then let the kids talk with each other. Oh, how wonderful it was to see and talk to them again. My prayers are with each one of my Means' Friends. What a cup of coffee and cake can do!

Here are a few news: My husband is going to the field, again, and the kids and I are off to Loveland for spring break to visit Sina and her family. We will also look at a new family member, a Indian Ringneck Parrot. Yep, I am doing it again. Another bird. This time he will not fly away. We are excited, especially Tommy, Timothy and I. Leeanna acts cool about it, no wonder she is a teenager. LOL. The best teen I have ever seen, I want to add. I love my kiddos.

She got her braces on a couple of weeks ago. After 3 days of pain she felt like a human again. Poor girl, but also a brave one.

We have adjusted to Colorado, but still missing Missouri, our church there and of course my friends. I would love to be able to visit them on a regular base. But if God willing we are planning on going to camp in July with some of Calvary's people.

My mom is doing well, thank you all for the prayers. I will end now and wish every one a good night.

Finally another post! It seems like I don't have time to keep this up, but every now and then I remember to write a little something. Jason is in the field for 3 weeks, then he will be home for a few days, and after that he has to go to Texas for school. It is never easy for us to be separated, but I am grateful as long as he will not deploy. God has really blessed us in so many ways. The kids are doing great. We are tired of school, can't wait for spring break. Timothy is a little gentleman, he likes to hold open doors for everybody, and says Thanks and please and excuse me. Got to love his age!

We have settled in ok, just to have another move coming up. Our landlord (Jason's friend) will be back in August, and we will have to find another house. We would all love to live in the country, already tired of city life. Jason is planning to retire after his 20 years, which would be May of 2012. We have no idea of where we would like to live after that. He would like to go back to Missouri, but we will see what God has in mind for us. I will try to attach a few photos. My mom was with us for several weeks. She has made it back ok just to find a water damage and some broken tiles in her house. I feel for her, now such a stress and no husband to support her. I hope and pray that she will be back soon. We really enjoyed her company. Well, time to quit and attach photos! If you read my post leave a comment. Thanks!

2011-02-15T20:12:00.001-08:00

It has been a long time since I wrote anything. Let me think what has happened...

My dad died unexpected. He was taken to the hospital on November 12. and died on Sunday November 14. Sina, I and our children were able to fly out on Saturday and made it to see my dad Sunday afternoon, 2 hours before he died. He was in a coma, and I prayed so hard that he could hear me asking him to accept Jesus as his savior. I wanted him to wake up and talk to me. It was terrible to see him lying like that. When he died I had peace, but was sad, so sad. I hope that he heard me and is now with our Lord in Heaven.

We stayed with my mom for 4 weeks to get everything settled. His funeral was almost 2 weeks later, because he was crimated. The kids got to see him one more time before, it was peaceful, he looked like he was asleep, but they cried and were sad to see him like that. It was necessary though, because they were not allowed to go to the hospital to see him.

My mom came to stay with us 2 days after we left Germany. We hope she will gain enough strength here to face her life at home without "Opa". She stays busy with the kids, especially Timothy loves to have her around. She is wonderful, a big help and a great teacher for my little one. He learned to count to 15 in German, knows a german song "Kommt ein Vogel geflogen" and so much more. He also knows the names of the trains in "Thomas the train."

We finally joined the church "Lighthouse Baptist Church". It is a good church, we still miss our old one in Missouri.

Oh, Sina is pregnant and so is Andrea, my cousin. Do I want another baby? Yes, but I trust God. So, now it is time to end and go to bed. I hope my next post will be soon.

Another beautiful Day

Rocky Mountains, view from Ft. Carson.
My cool little men!
Dinosaur Museum in Woodland Park, CO
Leeanna's favorite spot in the backyard... the Hammock!

God is so good!

The kids and I are spending a few days in Loveland with Sina and her family. She invited us to her jewelry party. Well, I guess I will pick out my birthday present!!!!

It looks like we have finally found a good church. Lighthouse Baptist Church of Colorado Springs. Preaching is good, people and pastor are really nice and we all feel really good about it. Even Timothy likes to go to the nursery. We will know more in a few weeks.

On another note, Leeanna's and Tommy's Dad broke up with his girlfriend. He cancelled the Christmas visitation also. Which is ok with me, I love having my children with me. We will see what the future brings.

Hope everyone will have a wonderful weekend.

Leeanna and Timothy in Lee's famous reading spot in the back yard, the Hammick
Sorry, I forgot to turn the picture. A visit in the Dinosaur Museum.

A wonderful day in the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo in Colorado Springs.
Feeding of the Giraffes, was really neat. Never saw them this close. We would touch them.

Finally Arrived!

I know it has been a long time since I wrote something on here. SORRY! I am not much of a computer friend. Only the absolute minimum. Just to stay in touch with friends and family.

Anyways, we are here in Colorado Springs now. The drive here was good, the finding of our rent house was disappointing. It was dirty and Sina, Jason and I had to clean before the movers came 3 hours later. Then Timothy dropped a 25 lbs. weight on his right foot, which made he and I ending up in an emergency room. Nothing was broken, which was a blessing.

God has blessed us so much, it is incredible. We like the house, we found a good church and we LOVE Colorado Springs. There is so much to see and do.

I will try to post some pictures.

Sina came on Monday on a short notice (which I like) and we all went to the Dinosaur Museum here in Colorado Springs. Of course Jason, who is still off this week, argued with one of the ladies about Evolution vs. Creation.

Tomorrow (Friday) we are doing school in the morning and then of to Loveland, visiting Sina and her family for a birthday party for Daniel, her little boy - buddy of Tommy. I must say that I really enjoy having her and her family kind of close by. First time in a while to have family around.

The kids are doing great. They like it here. Tommy found some friends in his Sunday school class, Leeanna has not found any, because she has not been in the teen class yet. Timothy is just as happy as he can be, but I think he misses our old church, at least the nursery and his friends. I know Leeanna misses her's a lot. And Jason and I miss our church family. But the preaching in First Baptist Church of Peaceful Valley is good, and the people are very nice. By the way it is not A First Baptist Church. That is just the name of it.

OK, enough of it. All I can say: God is good.

Hope I will be more faithful posting here. Good Night!

Almost Time To Move

2010-07-31T15:32:00.000-07:00

A visit in Iowa, July 2010
Sina, Ben and Timothy, our visit to Estes Park in beautiful Colorado

Tommy getting a haircut, July 2010
Serious boy!
I have not been very faithful with my blogging. Life just seems so busy since Timothy arrived. But I don't want to complain, because he is another big blessing in my life. God has been soooo good to us. Looking back at the last 6 years... Wow, we have come a long way.

But let's see what is going on in the Gohn's household: This is the first of Aug. Next month is the big move. Again!

We went to Colorado Springs in June and God has provided us with a house to rent. Jason's friend is going to Afghanistan for a deployment, which gives us the chance to rent his house for 10 month for an incredible price and to look around for a place in the country. It is a 6 bedroom house with 3500 Sq.ft. Lots of cleaning, LOL.

We have not found a church yet, which is a little bit disheartening, but I know that God has one in mind for us. We just have to be patient and pray about it.

The kids are excited and yet not, because they will miss their friends and our church. At least Sina will be living close, and we will - hopefully - have lots of visits with her and her family.

The kids and I started school 2 weeks ago to catch up for the move. It is a little bit hard to get back on track.

Spring is in the air

Field trip to the Money Museum in Kansas City
Timothy, ready for church
Timothy's first real haircut
2 good looking boys.

We had a wonderful week, weather wise. But we all got sick. First I had a stomach bug, then Jason came down with it, followed by Timothy and finally Tommy. So far, we all survived. We had a great "God and Country Conference" at church. A lot of information on what the political status of the Government should be and what it really is. Scary, but "For God hath not given us the spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind." 2. Timothy 1:7. God also does not want us to sit back and watch what happens, but to get involved when evil tries to get us. Anyway, I don't need to preach, but it was a great conference.

We are still looking for a house online. If possible, we will take a week in June, drive to Colorado and go house shopping. But before that we will have a big garage sale. Again. I am planning on getting read of a lot of stuff. Arghh.

Other than that, all I can say we are excited, but we are also a bit sad, because of our church friends here. Well, moving on has always been an easy task for me, and God will take care of the rest. He has always taken care of us, provided us with great church homes, wonderful friends and a nice place. He is taken us to a different location, which gives me peace and excitement what He has in store for us.

House hunting

2010-02-26T13:50:00.000-08:00

It has been awhile that I wrote something on my blog. There were not any changes really. Jason went to a men's recharge today, and kids and I are planning on having a slumber party tonight. With a good movie, popcorn and of course ice cream.

This last week was busy with school, broken washing machine, and a spa party. A friend who was expecting needed me, which was a great experience and made me want another baby. Crazy, hmmm.

Anyways, life is going on without big surprises (which is good). We are seriously looking for a house to buy in Colorado. It is exciting and a little challenging, because we are not there yet.

Timothy had his first haircut at the barbershop at the BX. He looks like a little man.

OK, this is it for today. Hope everybody is having a great weekend.

Colds are going around

2010-01-26T15:07:00.000-08:00

Political Rally at the Capitol in Jefferson City

Field trip "Living Book Report". Tommy was sooo nervous when talking about Eli Whitney.
How big are you? Sooooo big!
... and we all caught it. Timothy has been sick for more than a week, then started Tommy on his 9 birthday, and finally I am the victim. But it could be worse.

We have not gotten our written orders, but we know that our report date will be Oct. 10, 2010. Which means we will be moving around September. So much to do before.... Another garage sale... We accumulated way too much stuff! It is always hard to decide what to get read of.

Like always I am grateful for God's love for us and His grace.

Finally!

2010-01-22T21:17:00.001-08:00

Here are the news we all have been waiting for: We have been reassigned to Fort Carson in Colorado. Of course I had to call Sina and my mom. Needless to say that they are excited. And even my kids are happy, which makes me glad. I called a friend I met in Germany in our "old" church, Jenny. They are also in Ft. Carson with the Army. It was great talking to her, and it is wonderful to know that we already have a friend there. It makes it so much easier leaving our great church, wonderful friends and our beautiful home behind.

We will try to go up there on a 4 day weekend to check everything out. Need to think about renting or buying a house. We will let God direct us, always the best way! He is so good. Whoever does not know Him, misses out on Happiness, Peace, Joy, Strength... and so much more.

OK, Colorado, here we come.

Global Warming? Are you kidding me?

2010-01-07T14:21:00.000-08:00

Our backyard, covered in snow!
Little man walking!
Leeanna is having fun!

What is all the talk about Global Warming? What about Missouri that normally sees some ice and a little snow? Now we had several inches of snow, and there is no end in sight. Yippie. Sorry, but I love the snow. If we have to have a winter, we might as well have snow. Right? A true German is talking. Anyway, finally Timothy is doing better and we can enjoy the weather. I am sorry, though, that we put our wooden sled in storage where we can't get it. Poohoo. Anyway, have a wonderful snow-day everyone.

Here are some more pictures of our snow. We love it! Unfortunately we can't play in it too much, because Timothy is still sick (cold). Poohoo.

Nachtraeglich Frohe Weihnachten

2009-12-27T12:48:00.001-08:00

Ja, unser erster Schnee! 3 inches!!!!
24. Dezember 2009
Leeanna darf den Engel auf die Spitze setzen!
Timothy macht zum ersten Mal in seinem Leben Geschenke auf.
So, jetzt werde ich mal wieder in Deutsch schreiben, damit meine Familie und deutschen Freunde auch lesen koennen, was bei uns so los ist. Meine Freundin Myriam hat mich darauf aufmerksam gemacht, dass ich seit langem nichts ueber Jason und seinen Ruecken geschrieben habe. Also, seit seiner Rueckenoperation sind schon 5 Monate vergangen, und dank sei GOTT hat er keine Schmerzen mehr. Manchmal fuehlt sich der Ruecken steif an wenn er z.B. lange sitzt. Aber sonst ist alles super.

Unser Weihnachtsfest was wieder sehr schoen. Wir haben einen echten Baum gekauft und am 24. Dez. Bescherung gehabt. Meine Familie hat mich auch dieses Jahr wieder verwoehnt. Mein Mann schenkte mir einen Mac Laptop und einen neuen Fotoapparat, und von meinen Kindern habe ich einen schoenen Korb mit allerlei Leckereien erhalten.

Und dann war da noch eine tolle Ueberraschung: Schnee am 25. Dez. Die Kids haben sich soooo sehr gefreut.

Gestern haben wir Leeanna und Tommy nach Arkansas gefahren, da sie fuer eine Woche bei ihrem Daddy bleiben. Und jetzt sind Timothy, Jason und ich alleine, und natuerlich Sally, unser Hund.

Ausserdem haben sich unsere "Orders" geaendert. Wir bleiben hier auf Whiteman Air Force Base bis August 2010. Was mich eigentlich freut, da muss mein Mann naemlich in dieser Zeit auf keinen Fall Uebersee, wie Irak oder Afghanistan.

So, das waeren dann mal wieder die neuesten Neuigkeiten. Oh ja, noch eines: Eine Freundin hat mich gefragt, was "Salvation" ist. Und da schon oefter mal so eine aehnliche Frage kam, dachte ich mir ich schreibe es einfach mal auf. Die Uebersetzung dafuer ist Erloesung von den Suenden. Sie hat mich dann gefragt wie das so geht. Und ich habe ihr ein kleines Beispiel geben koennen. Und zwar: Du hast eine unheilbare Krankheit und gehst zum Arzt. Der sagt Dir es gaebe eine neue Medizin, die diese Krankheit heilt. Du kannst ihm glauben, aber von dem Glauben wirst Du nicht gesund, du musst die Medizin annehmen und anwenden. Das gleiche passiert auch bei Salvation (Erloesung). Du kannst an Jesus glauben, bekommst aber dadurch nicht das ewige Leben. Du musst daran glauben, dass Jesus Gottes Sohn ist und fuer unsere Suenden am Kreuz gestorben ist. Du musst ihn als Deinen Erloeser annehmen und um Vergebung Deiner Suenden bitten. (Roemer 10:13). Uebrigens schreibt die Bibel, dass jeder Mensch ein Suender ist, egal wieviele gute Werke er vollbringt. Viele koennen sich nicht vorstellen, dass das so einfach ist, aber die Bibel sagt, dass man durch Werke nicht in den Himmel kommt (ewiges Leben erhaelt), (Epheser 2:8,9,10; 2.Thimotheus 1:9 ), sondern der einzige Weg ist Jesus Christus. Seit ich Jesus in meinem Leben habe, hat mein Glaube sich veraendert und ich weiss mit 100 %iger Sicherheit wo ich mein Leben nach dem Tode verbringen werde. Und das gibt mir unendlichen Frieden. Ich schreibe das alles nur, dass diejenigen von Euch, die es lesen, sich Gedanken machen, was wohl nach dem Tod kommt. Die Entscheidung bleibt jedem Menschen selbst ueberlassen.

So, und jetzt versuche ich mal noch ein paar Fotos anzuhaengen. Also, bis hoffentlich bald. Tschuess!

Almost Christmas

2009-12-18T19:31:00.000-08:00

Leeanna's 12. Birthday, still tired from a good night sleep

Our almost daily walk in the vinyards surrounding my hometown

My dad's little tractor, homemade.

My German family, well my brother is missing

I am such a bad blogger. Yesterday I had time to read Carie's blog and I felt ashamed. OK, enough whining, now lets get started.

Our visit in Germany was great and we wanted to stay longer, but my husband was calling and I missed him too. Anyway, the flight back was ok, stressful but no bad accidents.... let me take that back. When I checked the luggage in, my skirt got hung on one of the suitcases, which was on the way behind the counter. A scream from the lady who checked us in, and finally she found the button to stop the convaerbelt. We did cost some attention around us and I thought, "No Lord, not another day like the one we had when we flew to Germany!"

But everything else was going smooth. Timothy was lively, but manageble.

Now, we are back to trying to live healthy, juicing in the morning. I need to eat more raw, I am just not there yet.

Tomorrow I will have a Christmas Party for the Ladies from church in our house. Everything went well, but guess what.. Tommy was complaining over a sore throat, and now he is running a fever. I pray that it will be better by tomorrow.

Looking back, the Lord has been good to us, a new baby, healthy family, great churchfamily and many great friends. And my parents are doing well too, Thank you Lord!

I will try to attach some photos from Germany. Hope it works. I am not so good at this... YET.

Vacation almost over

2009-11-30T13:37:00.000-08:00

Oh my, where has the time gone. It is monday, and in only 9 days we will be flying back to the States again. Hopefully with more peace and less trouble. We really enjoyed the time with my family. I do miss my husband though. We still have not heard about our new dutystation. We even found out that USAREC has not released us yet. Maybe God allows us to stay here for the rest of the 3 years. Wouldn´t heard my feelings. And I know the kids would love it. And, of course the best of all : Jason would not deploy again for the rest of the recruiting time. Which means no separation. Well, we will see what God´s plan is for us.
Salvation, what is that... A wonderful wise woman has explained it this way: If you have a serious sickness and the doctor tells you about a great new drug, you can believe him, but only believing in the drug will not cure you. You have to accept the drug to be healed. It is the same with Jesus. Only believing in Him doesn´t save you from hell. You have to know that you are a sinner ( sick ), believe that He is the son of God and you have to ask Him to save you, be your savior (accept Him ). It is that simple, and yet, people don´t want Him in their lives, or they don´t believe in Him. Are they not scared of the life after death? I believe what the Bible says about the lake of fire. It is terrible, and I pray for my friends and family to spend eternity with God.
By the way, I got highlights in my hair today. The brown hair started to be boring and didn´t look good. I want my blonde back. Poohoo.
OH, did I mention that my little girl had her 12. birthday last Saturday the 21. of November? She is getting sooo big. And Timothy is now 13 month old. Her birthday was great. We even made a nightwalk in the vinyards with torches. And then grilled bratwurst out there. It was fun. I love you, my big little girl!

Vacation in Germany

2009-11-15T09:24:00.000-08:00

Finally we made it to Germany. The trip was rough on all of us. Let me see, if I can remember the details:
Jason took us to the Kansas City Airport, they made us problems, because the name on the ticket said Gohn, but my Passport has still my old name. They called the Airline to change the name and after 1 hour passed gave us the boardingpasses, letting us know that we have to get new passes when in Canada. After Jason left Timothy fell on his face and busted the inside of his upper lip. Bleeding on himself and me. Finally we got seated on the plane. I had an empty seat beside me and let Timothy sit there. He wanted to walk around, but they didn´t let him. So... he cried, almost the whole 2 hours off and on. Everytime he started again, he started bleeding again. Great! When we landed I told the people around us sorry, but they were nice and we were the center of attention, nice and very friendly attention. Finally in Canada we had to go through Customs, where a very strict officer asked me if I had a permission from the kids dad to take them out of the country. I denied ( being never asked that before ). Then he questioned Leeanna if her dad knew where she was. after getting our stamp we were sent to another officer, who asked the same questions. Finally they gave us new boarding passes. Now keep in mind, we had only 1.5 hours inbetween flights. Running up an elevator, down a hall, I realized that I had lost my new boarding passes. Frantically I ran to an officer and asked him, if he would watch my kids for me so I could run back and look for them. He told me to go to a booth nearby, they would give me new ones. We finally made it to the flight, just in time. The 8 hour flight was ok. Timothy went to sleep almost immediately, but since I didn´t have time to change his diaper, he pieed all over me. The rest of the trip was ok. I was beat I may want to add.
But now we enjoy our time here in Germany. Went shopping already. So, that was a brief overview of our flight.

Another Day

2009-11-02T20:31:00.000-08:00

Little Mister always busy.

This was a good day. We did school in a timely manner, cooked some applesauce, did lots of laundry and posted stuff on Craigs list with the help of my wonderful friend Liz. Now I just want to add some pics and try to post a video. Hope it works. Have a great week everybody.

Sunday Afternoon

2009-11-01T14:56:00.000-08:00

OK, just a little note for my faithful blog followers, we still have no news. Poohoo. Well, it will be soon enough, I hope. We had a great evening at the Piper's house yesterday. Kids and adults enjoyed the huge bonfire and the hayride. Also the smores and hot dogs. It is great to have a loving church. Timothy liked it as well, was not even scared of the fire. OK, it is time to go to church. Hope everyone will have a great week. So long.

Happy Birthday!

2009-10-27T14:50:00.000-07:00

What a surprise, a candle! Even without the icing it was good.

A bottle with freshly juiced apple, carrotte and cucumber juice. Mhhhh

I can't believe Timothy is already one year old. Where has the time gone? It seems like the days are racing by. Do I sound sad? No, I am not. It has been a great year with our new little blessing. He is walking and into everythink, including the toilette. Yup.

I made a cake for him yesterday, which was his first "sweet" since birth. Well, it was not tooooo unhealthy, I baked Carie's recipe of the carotte cake, with freshly grinded whole wheat flour, raw sugar (less than the recipe called for) and on his side (very small side) was no icing. He like it anyway.

We are still trying to live healthy, juice in the morning, walks everyday and apples and peanutbutter for snack during school. I am not buying anything hydrogenated and we use coconutoil for cooking. I also try to eat vegetables, as we can affort to buy them.

By the way, we still don't know where we are going next. Sina, my niece is praying that the Lord' will for us is to be stationed in Colorade (which would be great). She told me her conversation with the Lord. It was too cute. Let's see how it will turn out.

Anyway, there is a lot of sickness going around. I pray that we won't catch any of it. We are flying to Germany in only 13 days. We can not afford any sicknesses.

There is not much more I can add. So I will call it a day! Hope everyone is having a good week. Oh one more thing, we are having a garagesale Saturday, please let the weather be nice.

New Thoughts

2009-10-07T12:31:00.000-07:00

We went on a hike at the Knob Noster State Park. Everybody loved it.

Timothy finally took a little nap.

After reading Carie's blog I realize how bad I keep up with mine. Of couse my life is not nearly as interesting as Carie's. But I should try harder. There just seems not enough time in my daily life.

Leeanna and Tommy are in Texas for a week, and Timothy and I are by our lonesome self. Missionsconference is coming up. We start out with an International Dinner on Saturday. Of course I am signed up for German Food. I will cook Bratwurst, Sauerkraut and Mashed Potatoes. The dessert is Apfelspeise. Yummy.

A good friend of mine is coming to Missouri on Saturday to visit us for 2 days. Linda is a Missionary to Germany, and she is on deputation. I am excited to see her.

Life is keeping me busy. And still I am having a little dream of having another baby. We will see. I leave it up to my husband and of course to God. He knows what we can handle.

We still don't know where we are going next. It is a little frustrating. Slowly I get used to the idea of moving, still nervous about another deplyment coming up. I enjoyed the 19 month of having my husband home every night, but I am glad for Jason. This recruiting has sucked the life out of him.

Liz, a dear friend of mine, her kiddos, Timothy and I went shopping yesterday. I highly enjoyed it. We hit 3 thriftstores and found cute skirts and shirts. Yea, got to stay in the budget.

We are still trying to live healthier, more veggies and reading labels. It is unbelievable what stuff is in all the food. No wonder people have so many healthproblems. We also try not to use plastic. I found a german toy made out of wood and safe paint for Timothy yesterday. Now I don't have to worry him chewing on it.

Well, got to go. Lots of things need to get done... baking bread, laundry, cleaning,....

Sunday Afternoon

2009-09-27T13:02:00.000-07:00

Our little weekend outing to the Lake of The Ozarks at the Four-Seasons-Hotel.

I wonder if Tommy is having fun in the motorboat?

Leeanna loved the wild rides. Lots of wind, lots of high waves.

Timothy and his Papa on the motorcycle

I have not have time to work on my blog. I started to give German lessons at the Homeschool COOP in Warrensburg every Thursday, and school has been a challenge for the 3 of us. Leeanna's lessons are taking till late afternoon and Tommy has a lot more to do than the grade before. In the midst of all of that little Timothy wants his part. So life is a little challenging right now. On top of it we still don't know where the Army is sending us. Last we heard is that we won't know anything for a while until an Army unit needs us ( so to speak ). Very discouraging. Do we go overseas? Then I need to do a garage sale and sell .... .lots of things. Do we stay stateside? Then I still need to do a garage sale and sell some things. But in the midst of this I know that my God is still in control, and I pray that He will send us where He sees it fit. Hey, as long as I have a good church and I can homeschool, and my kids will find some new friends... I am as happy as a pig in new mud.

I will still miss Missouri, though. We had great times here and wonderful friends. Well, got to go, need to work on a quiz for my german lessons.

A few weeks ago we went to the Lake of The Ozarks for a weekend. It was so much fun. Our first family outing after a long time. We stayed at the Hotel Four Seasons for free. Yup. And we rented a motorboat from Base. It was wonderful.

Hope whoever stops by leaves a little comment for me. ;)

One more week

2009-08-23T19:32:00.000-07:00

Only one more week to go and I will pick up my kids from their dad's. Jippie.
I just talked to a dear friend of mine, Anne-Marie on the phone. They are in South Korea. She is doing good, but - Heck - I miss them. I wished they could have stayed. We always enjoyed visiting with them, going for walks and drinking coffee, eating cake. There are many friendships throughout a lifetime, but not everyone makes a difference in your life. I had and still have wonderful friendships that I can reflect upon. God sends us friends for different reasons, some stay for a lifetime, some only for a little while, for a season. But each friendship gives us something special. Anne-Marie is one of them special ones. I hated to see her go. This is one thing that I dislike about being in the Military, leaving friends behind.

We still don't know where we will PCS next. All I know is that God is in control, and this gives me peace and comfort.
Leeanna is having a hard time moving away this time. She found wonderful friends here. Tommy doesn't say much. He will when the time of leaving comes closer. Well, I don't like it myself, but better moving than being separated from my husband for another year. Iraq was hard enough.
Now it is time for bed, dreaming about my children being home again.

New pictures

2009-08-09T18:49:00.000-07:00

" I am now 9 month old, yeah."
"I like my horsey, am I now a cowboy?"
" Tommy is my brother and my best friend."
3 of my most favorite people in the whole wide world. Our visit in Iowa.
On our way to Iowa.
Here are a few new pics. We had a good Sunday. Junior church went great. by the way, yesterday, August the 8th was our fifth anniversary. We had 5 great years. I am excited about the next 50.
Tomorrow is a townhall meeting that I will attend. A representative of our Missouri Senator will be there to answer questions and concerns. Wow, she will hear quiet a few about the Obama Healthcare bill. It will be very interesting!

Weekend

2009-08-08T20:29:00.001-07:00

OK, we took Leeanna and Tommy to see their dad for 3 weeks. I miss them already. Other than that there is not much going on. I am slowly getting used to my new haircolor. Tommy can't wait for it to grow out and my blonde to show back up again. He likes me blonde.
Tomorrow I am starting to teach the 5-7 year olds in Junior church for the next 4 weeks. Jason will be my helper. It will be good to work together like we did in our "old" church in Oklahoma.

Another beautiful day

2009-08-03T19:59:00.000-07:00

We had a good day, Timothy is feeling better. A little fever this morning, but no signs of headinjuries. Praise God. I know He protected my little sweetheart.
We started school about 3 weeks ago. Tommy and Leeanna are doing great. I am so proud of all 3. Tommy has matured quite a bit. Timothy knows his first sign language, shaking his head for Nein, Nein, which is german for No, No. And he can clap his hands to Patty Cake. And is sooo proud of himself. I am very blessed with a great family, loving, caring and God-oriented. Makes me wonder, why so many women try to find fulfillment outside the home. I have learned that it is mainly our part to make our house a home, a safe haven.
Well, that is all for today. Time to hit the bed...

Sunday- accident

2009-08-02T15:57:00.000-07:00

Not a good day, we had an accident that shook us up. Timothy fell out of Jason's pick-up today after church. His head is pretty scratched up, but he seemed to be alright. Then just before I was ready to leave for church (Jason was supposed to stay home with him tonight, for I had nursery duty) he started to run a low temperature. Because he was fussy and wanted me we changed plans. Now I am here, hoping his temp. won't rise, which would mean another trip to the ER. I pray that it will be ok. God is good. I trust in Him.

Almost weekend

2009-07-24T15:13:00.000-07:00

Timothy and his Pa, Little man is now 8 month old
Big sister, big brother - always being funny, and little pinguin
Our youngest pianist
My goodness, 11 years and going on teenageyears. My big girl!!!!!!

This is Friday and tomorrow we will be heading out to Iowa. It has been a while since Jason's family has seen Timothy. We will be staying at his uncles place out in the woods. Lots of running place for the kids.
Timothy is almost 9 month old. Only a few more days. Oh my, time runs so fast. His buddy Jackson already hit his 9 month mark. Well, at least we (Timothy) got one tooth more than Jackson. LOL
Here are a few pictures of my loved ones. Gotta love em!!!!!!!!!!!!

Praise God

2009-07-23T19:33:00.000-07:00

God is good!!!!!!!!! I went to the clinic today. Timothy's ears are clear, x-ray showed no signs of bronchitis, and the ultrasound of Tommy's belly showed that his liver is normal and not enlarged. Thank you Lord!
Right now, I am listening to a webcast "Stop the abortion". It is very sad what they do to babies. The great thing is that over 30.000 people are listening tonight. That is encouraging.
Motherhood is the best thing that ever happened to me, after being saved. Guess, not every woman feels that way. How sad!

sick babies

2009-07-21T19:51:00.000-07:00

Oh my, what a week. First Tommy was sick with a fever, then baby Timothy came down with bronchitis. I had to take him to the ER on Monday night, closer Tuesday morning 4 AM. He is doing better, being on Antibiotics. Everone who knows me knows how much I hate giving medicine to my kiddos. But in this case I felt it was necessary. He could hardly breath, coughed like a barking dog. It was pittyful.
Well, lets see... I took Tommy to the doc on base because of his tummyache that seems to appear every week and sometimes every day. They did an X-ray and took some blood. Result: Enlarged liver and a collon that goes zick-zack. Also his stomach is smaller than it should be. Now I know why he doesn't eat much at a time. Anyways, we have to see a doc in Warrensburg tomorrow morning to get an ultrasound done. And with all of that we have to visit Children's Mercy in Kansas City to see a specialist. I pray that everything will be easy to fix. God has always been good to us, and I know that He is still in charge.

Well, other than that we have not heard where we will be going next, what duty station will be blessed with our presence. LOL.
I am doing better with eating healthy (Hint, Carie).
I guess that is it for today. Hope the night will be peaceful - no crying baby.

Zurueck vom Familien Camp

2009-07-12T13:02:00.000-07:00

Hannah's 11th birthday, and we could celebrate it with her.
4 crazy boys
Oh, 3 cuties ( one of them is mine!!!! )
New haircolor, takes time to get used to.

Letzte Woche auf Camp war super. Leeanna, Tommy, Timothy und ich hatten viel Spass mit anderen Freunden. Ausserdem haben wir eine Menge anderer Leute kennen gelernt. Jeden Morgen und am Abend hatten wir Gottesdienst und Gott hat uns gezeigt, was wir besser machen koennen.
Zuerst hat es eine Puppenshow gegeben, die nicht nur den Kindern gefallen hat, danach gab es Spiele, Jungs gegen Maedels. Manche Leute glauben, dass einmal die Woche genug ist, in die Kirche zu gehen. Ist es wirklich genug 1 Std die Woche Gott zu witmen? Hat er nicht mehr verdient? Mir macht es jedenfalls Freude das Wort Gottes zu hoeren, und mehr von Ihm zu lernen.
Wir haben natuerlich auch Sport getrieben (war Zeit fuer mich faules Ei). Jeder konnte waehlen zwischen Volleyball, Fussball, Hufeisen werfen, Kanu fahren usw. Calvary Baptist Church hat dieses Jahr sogar den Championship in Volleyball gewonnen, und ja... ich war im Team. Juhu, habe aber seitdem ein blaues Ei am Handballen, Puhu.
Jedenfalls hat Gott mir auch gezeigt, dass es einen Grund gibt, dass Jason bald kein Rekruter mehr ist. Ich verstehe es zwar noch nicht, habe aber seitdem meinen Frieden deswegen.
Gestern haben unsere Freunde, die Means uns besucht, und gingen mit uns heute frueh zur Kirche. Leider mussten sie nach dem Mittagessen schon wieder fort.
Oh, ich habe meine Haare gefaerbt. Jap, eigentlich wollte ich dunkelblond, aber im Moment habe ich dunkelbraun-roetliche Haare. Ich werde versuchen ein paar Fotos anzuhaengen.

4th of July coming up

2009-07-02T20:54:00.000-07:00

2 more days and another 4th of July, with food, fun and friends. Not to forget the fireworks. I am really looking forward to that. We invited 2 wonderful families to celebrate with us. Sad to say but this time I won't go to a TEA party (taxed enough already party). I hope that a lot more people will show up this time.
Well, I got good news, Timothy sleeps in his own bed now. At least he goes to sleep there (in Tommy's room). He still wakes up at night to eat. Which is ok, I just bring him to our bed and let him finish out the night. He is such a sweetheart, what can I say, just another blessing from our wonderful Creator.
Well, time to go to bed. Oh one more thing, our pool got pushed against our rockpillars and has an ugly cut in the wall. Needless to say that the water ran out. Now Jason has to patch it and set it up again. Poo.

Another day closer to having my kids back

2009-06-24T09:22:00.000-07:00

Good Morning. My day started with a walk with Timothy and Sally, my dog, and before that we had some fresh pressed juice (are you proud of me, Carie?). Jason's first day at work yesterday went well. After our walk and reading my emails I got on the phone with my 2 Senators, and tried to call the White House (busy signal) and the Ambassador Rice. What a mess we are in, now they want to join the UN treaty - the Rights of the Child. Which means we would give up more and more of our Freedom. I was never into Politics until now. I may not make a difference, but at least I tried.
OK, I worked on my blog all day (almost) yesterday to put on a slideshow of my photes. Finally I got it but now I lost my template, which means my blog looks really boring. Help! ;)

Another hot day

2009-06-23T07:47:00.000-07:00

2 old friends, wrecked out together! Oh what a wonderful day, Timothy and Jackson on their way to the Mall in Independence.

Timothy and his Pa are relaxing on the swing

Another good friend, Jacob, born April 27, 2009

Good Morning, it will be hot again.... Anyway, let me just jot down a few thoughts. After reading the blog of a very dear friend of mine (Liz, that is you) it occured to me that I don't spend enough time on my blog. By the way, Liz is my diaper-buddy from the South. Clothdiapers that is. She is also my Amish-fan friend. Liz is married to an Air-Force-man and is the mother of 2 cuddly little boys. Jackson, the baby, is Timothy's best buddy, he is 10 days older. Liz is the one who got me started on blog. I am still not good at it, poohoo.

By the way, today is Jason's first day back at work after his surgery. I pray that he will be okay.

The other blog-friend, who inspires me a lot, especially when it comes to healthy eating and natural childbirth, is Carie. She reminded me than I need to write updates about Jason's recovery. Carie is the mom of 5 sweet children, my kids best friends, and the wife of an Army-officer. They are missionaries to Mexico as of next year. Poohoo, I will miss them. If you are a prayer warrior, please put them on your prayer list. I know they would appreciate it.

The third one in the group of bloggers is Kelly, mom of 3 handsome boys and the wife of an Air-Force-officer. She is also a fan of the Amish-store. I am sorry that she has to leave. But that is Military life. I guess.... One thing is for sure, the Lord will always be with us, no matter how often we have to move.

A thought for the day: Life is too short and precious to live for self. Live everyday as it would be the last one, live it in the presence of God. I am reading a wonderful book, written by Elizebeth George, "A woman after God's own heart". It is very inspiring.

Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward Psalm 127:3
Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband. Ephesians 5:33
Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives. While they behold your chaste conversation coupled with fear. I Peter 3:1-2
But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation. I Peter 1:15

I hope everyone is having a great day, stay out of the heat. ;)

Well, I guess these are more than just a few thoughts. LOL

Jason's surgery June 3, 2009

2009-06-22T14:35:00.000-07:00

Timothy loves the swing on the playground

2009-06-22T14:07:00.001-07:00

OK, here are some news on my hubby: His back is still hurting, but the surgery went well. His doc sends him back to work tomorrow, which is Tuesday, the 23. Which is too early. But this is America, right? Work, work, work.
I miss my big kids. They will be back home this weekend. Sometimes people say, kids are hard to raise, or they are stressful.... blah, blah.... I guess they never saw the sweetness in their laughing eyes, or the awesome babble of a baby, or the wonderful warm feeling that sweeps over you when the baby stretches out his arms for you and your big kids tell you that you are the best mom in the whole wide world. I feel for these moms who never have time for their kids and never experience the fulfillment that comes with being a mom. Other than accepting my Lord and Savior I never made a better decision than having children. And of course to marry my wonderful hubby.

2009-06-13T20:40:00.000-07:00

Here is an update: Jason made it through surgery all right. He is getting better, still on painmedication. We will see the doc on Tuesday to find out when he has to go back to work.

2009-05-26T20:33:00.000-07:00

What a hair-do! The Cutie-Brothers!

Little man on a big camel. A day at the Zoo!

Look who hatches!

3 Beauties!

Best friends do everything together, even crawling.

2009-05-26T20:22:00.000-07:00

OK, here are some news: Jason is having his surgery on the 3. of June. He has to stay at the hospital for 2 days. It looks like Timothy and I can stay with him. Leeanna and Tommy will get to spend those days with a great friend and her family. So please pray for him. And for me, because on the 6. of June I have to drive the kids to Arkansas to meet their dad for their summer visitation. I have not driven by myself with the baby for such a long trip. Yuk. The good thing is that I can visit Carie and her family. The bad thing is that Jason will be by himself for those 2 days. Oh, I added a few new pictures. God is so good!!!!!!!!!!!!

2009-05-20T20:26:00.000-07:00

Hier sind ein paar Neuigkeiten: Jason hat seine OP am Ruecken am 3. Juni. Danach wird er wohl fuer einige Zeit zuhause sein. Wie lange ist noch nicht klar.
Wir haben endlich Sommer. Jetzt kann ich endlich meine Swing, die ich zum Muttertag bekommen habe auf der Frontporch geniessen.
Morgen, Donnerstag ist der letzte Schultag fuer uns. Am Freitag fahren die Kinder und ich dann zur Belohnung in den Zoo nach Kansas City. Wir haben es naemlich echt verdient. Yeah.

Here are some news: Jason will have his back surgery on June, 3. After that he will be home for a while. No idea how long though.
Finally the summer arrived. Now I can enjoy my swing that I got for a mothersday present.
Tomorrow, Thursday, is the last day of school for us. And on Friday the kids and I will go to the zoo in Kansas City. We deserve it. Yeah.

2009-05-01T16:00:00.000-07:00

Wieder ein paar Neuigkeiten: Jason wird am Ruecken operiert. Wir wissen leider noch keinen Termin. Die Wirbelsaeule wird begradigt und mit Platten und Schrauben gehalten. Angeblich soll er schon nach nur einer Woche wieder auf die Arbeit. Mal sehn wie das gehen soll. Er ist zum Glueck zuversichtlicher wie ich. Jetzt heisst es feste beten. Morgen, Samstag, gehen die Kinder und ich garage salen. Mal sehn ob wir ein paar Schnippchen machen koennen. Timothy ist zur Zeit etwas verschnupft, also muss er im Auto bleiben. Poohoo. Ansonsten geht es uns allen gut. Die Laune ist jedenfalls besser wie das Wetter, es regnet naemlich viel zur Zeit.

Here are some news: Jason is going to have backsurgery. Unfortunately we don't know when yet. His spine has to be straightend out and will be fixed in place with screws and plates. He is supposed to be back at work after a week. We will see how that will work out. He is not as worried as I am. Now we need to pray for this surgery. Tomorrow, Saturday, the kids and I will go and hit some garage sales. I hope we will find some treasures. Timothy has a cold, so he has to stay in the car. Poohoo. Other than that we all are fine. Our moods are better than the weather, it rains a lot.

2009-04-21T15:24:00.000-07:00

Wieder ein Tag vorbei. Mann, bin ich heute muede. Nach unserer Schule habe ich Brot gebacken, Erdbeermarmelade eingekocht und Muesliriegel gebacken. Und jetzt wacht Timothy auf, also muss ich gehen.

2009-04-18T17:37:00.000-07:00

Another day over! We went to the Homeschool conference in Kansas City today. Oh my, what a variety of curriculums to choose from. But we stick with My-Father's-World, the kids love it. And it is easy to teach! Well, this is all for today.
Wieder ein Tag vorbei. Wir waren heute auf der Homeschool conference in Kansas City. Was eine Auswahl an Schulbuechern... Aber wir bleiben bei inserem Curriculum, die Kinder lieben es. Und es ist einfach zu lehren. So, das waere es fuer heute.

2009-04-17T17:14:00.000-07:00

Liz and Jackson, he is just 10 days older than Timothy

My little big man

Our good-looking boys

4 beauties

Little cute man

Wieder ein Tag vorbei. Heute hat endlich mal die Sonne geschienen. Ich freue mich schon auf meine 2 Schildkroeten, die bald aus dem Winterschlaf aufwachen sollten. Leeanna und Tommy haben mit Wasserballons eine Wasserschlacht gemacht, und Timothy war ganz aufmerksam dabei. Sally hat sich wohl gedacht, dass sie hinter meinem Ruecken am sichersten ist. Auch Jason war mal frueher zuhause als normal. Morgen fahren wir nach Kansas City zur Homeschool conference. Mal sehn wie das wird. So, dann haenge ich noch ein paar neue Fotos an.

2009-04-13T15:48:00.000-07:00

Easter, Ostern

2009-04-13T14:22:00.000-07:00

We had a wonderful Easter weekend. On Saturday we had friends over to decorate eastereggs, yes, we do eastereggs. Our kids know that Easter is all about Jesus' resurrection. Praise God for HIS sacrifice.
After a day full of fun with paint (what a mess), we had some cake and coffee. Have to have our coffee. LOL. On Easter Sunday we went to church, had a great service and spent the rest of the day at home. Till 6 P.M., then we went back to church.
Tomorrow we will take Jason to Kansas City for a MRI. We hope that the doc will find out if a surgery is needed. All the prayers are appreciated. Well, that's it for today, this week will be busy - again, Wednesday TEA party and Saturday Homeschool conference in KC. Yeah.

Easter, Ostern
