new pics

I took some new pics of Kadence just thought that I would share them.

School Spirit

Well today was Saturday, which meant college football. Something our family is very much into. Earlier in the week Kae wore a BSU onsie and today I dressed her up in her Oregon outfit. She was ready to go! I think she knows when she is wearing her collegiate wear because I swear she struts around in it. Such a funny girl. She really keeps me entertained. Love being a mom!

Just an update

Well moving is more than underway now. Dad was able to stop here for a couple of days and we got so much done! He was able to get all of his stuff boxed up and moved out, so that was a big relief for me. My Uncle Rick helped dad move all the furniture out. My uncle and aunt have helped us so much. So now basically all that is left is for me to get things organized. I have so more stuff to go to storage, so I need to sort it from the stuff I am taking to Oregon. I am getting really excited. Only one week and one day left!

Joshua was promoted to corporal yesterday. And he is close to being promoted to sergeant. We are all excited for that. He is moving to a different COP so they have been busy packing up their stuff and the Army's stuff to move. I guess it has been a real pain. Last week he was on tower guard. Which is really boring. He is glad to be off for a few days. Other than that not much is going on with him.

Here are a few pics from the last few days of packing and moving. Enjoy!

Fall time!

Well we have been enjoying the Fall weather. Kadence loves being outside so we make little trips out. Today we went with my cousin Sarah, her friend Jessica, and their little boys to the pumpkin patch at The Berry Ranch in Nampa. It was a blast. We were able to pet sheep, pigs, and a heifer. Then we went on a hay ride to the pumpkin patch and were able to play around there for a little bit. Then went back and had lunch. Needless to say it was a blast. The kids and adults all had fun. As you can see from the pics :)

Moving again. . .

In case anyone didn't know yet, I am moving Kae and Jayce and I to Oregon. We are going to move in with my mom. And then I will spend half the time with my inlaws. I plan on getting moved over on Halloween. I have decided that I have gypsy blood. I have to keep moving. lol.

Kadence is one!

I cannot believe that Kae is already one. This has been the fastest year of my life! I can still recall the night Kae was born. And now is she walking. I have learned so much over this past year, so much more than I thought I would! Motherhood has been an incredible experience. And the most rewarding. I feel so blessed to have this little girl in Josh and I's lives. I was nervous when I got pregnant because I wasn't planning on having children for a few more years but I know that she needed to come to our family now. I know that Heavenly Father has a plan and to have Kadence was part of ours. Words cannot describe the joy, love and thankfulness that I feel for having Kadence in my life and for being blessed with such an incredible husband and companion.

We'll see what this next year brings. I am sure it will be packed with exciting new adventures!

Trying this again. . .

Okay so I had a blog on here at one time but we never got on. With Josh in Afghanistan now and our family doing more I thought maybe I would have stuff to write about and keep everyone up to date on us Lengstorf's.
Last month Josh came home for his R&R and we celebrated Kadence's birthday. Our family came from Oregon, Montana, and various places in Idaho to celebrate with us and to see Joshua. It was a great time and we had a ton of fun! Kadence is in love with the Disney Cars movie so that was our theme.
While Josh was home we went to Carey to visit my grandparents, Kae and I showed him around Caldwell and Nampa, and my mom watched Kadence for us so that Josh and I could have some alone time. Needless to say those 15 days went by so fast! He is back over there now and he won't be home for about 7 months.
Kadence is now one and walking (working on running), she has two teeth and is starting to talk and sign a little bit. She has such a personality! Such a happy baby and she is so determined. She has started throwing some tantrums and it appears that she has a healthy dose of temper. lol. Kadence is such a blessing to our family and to our lives. She is the sunshine in my day.
Other family news, my dad remarried and is living in Idaho Falls now. My mom started school this fall. My brother is in Chile on his mission. So we are all kinda spread out now. My youngest brother in law, Corey, started high school this year and my other brother in law, Brian, works on a ranch in Yoncalla and works with camels. My mother in law, Ronda, and father in law, Chuck, have their hands full keeping track of guys. It was great to see all of them last month.
I don't think there is much more right now to say. We are just gearing up for winter. I am glad to see the cooler weather but I have a feeling we still have some warmer weather coming.

cheers! jess
