Jamie, I wish there was an easy answer for you. I can not imagine doing what you are doing "alone". You are a GREAT mom, you can see that in all of your childrens smiles, and you are a WONDERFUL wife. Try to stay strong, which I know you can do, and the time that Rick is gone will go by fast. I am going to send some prayers your way to help you all get through this. Many (((HUGS))) to ALL of you. -Brooke C. Aug 13 2007
Jamie, Your words just break my heart! I wish I had something to write to make you feel better, but I can't. It's gotta be so tough to have your 4 precious kiddos and be an emotional pregnant Mommy too. You're doing awesome. I've seen first hand, you are a Super-Mom!! You can do this. Know your hubby is thinking of you and the kids- he must be! Thank God you have your family close. Remember that is why you are where you are and they love you tons! Hugs!! ~Julie -bhp/thetorreslunafamily Aug 12 2007
Hi Jamie, I know just how you are feeling!! I could have written your feelings myself! I had a really rough/awful week a couple weeks ago when I was just in tears & terribly frustrated *exactly how you sound. That is when I decided to go home (have something to look forward to). I feel that seeing everyone will help the time to go by much quicker. If I had the $$$ I would MOVE, that is just me. I was tempted to move to AZ but it wasn't practical. Hang in there, it will get easier! DON'T THINK ABOUT THE 2 YEARS!! Take it ONE day at a time..just get through TODAY..don't worry about tomorrow!! Be anxious for nothing!! Love ya & I will be saying extra prayers for you tonight!!!!!! (((BIG HUGS)))), -Crystal Aug 12 2007
Oh Jamie, I think Miss Tylie is going to be a big one! She wants to make sure mommy doesn't forget this pregnancy! -Brooke C Aug 12 2007

I was just visting some of the pages and you have one of the best ones that I have seen yet! You change it so much and it always looks so good.

Jamie, Wow, sounds like you have been busy. I hate that you are getting sick feeling so near the end. Glad you and Alexis are feeling better today though. That would be pretty cool if Rick makes little Ricky's first game. I am sure he would be sooooo excited to have Daddy there! Too cool about maybe getting Ricks number. I'll keep my fingers crossed for him! Take it easy on the house cleaning. Don't overdo it! Just a few more days and all will be able to see Rick/Daddy for a bit. That will be super nice! -stacey ~ bhp/winsteads Aug 08 2007

Hi Jamie, I hope your mouth is feeling better, OUCH! Sounds so painful :( Jonathan seems to want to complicate things for our family too, but hopefully it will mean he will be home quicker, lol. He's thinking of voluntarily dropping out of his school (even though he's doing great) because he doesn't think he's going to like it & maybe do something different? He's checking out his options. SO..we may not move to Hawaii..it's amazing how things can change so quickly in the military. Anyway, we are still finding things out...YIKES! -Crystal & the Bierer Squad Aug 06 2007
Hey evryone i miss u all! arlee and timber look sooo big!
-Selina Aug 02 2007
Jamie, Glad to hear your tooth is feeling better. Nope, we couldn't tell you were sleepy that day anyway! You seemed well rested to me.
Aye Yih yih! That is confusing to read about Rick's leaves. I hope it all works out just as you hope and plan.
Now that you say Timberly is talking, I can actually put a little cute personality to her now that I have met her. In between her fussy moments, she had adorable cute smiley times too! She is just precious!!
Yippee for Arlee!! No pull-ups at night, that's great! Accidents happen, no biggie! Emma still wets the bed occasioanlly and she's 4! Good job Arlee, keep up the good work sweet girl!
I keep thinkin' about our fun day. It was so great! I've told so many people about your cool swimming pool/ beach. Everyone asks, but how do they keep the sand out of the pool?? Who knows, but it was a great place! I loved it!
~Julie -bhp/thetorreslunafamily Aug 02 2007

Hey Jamie:
I just wanted to send you a quick note to say that I LOVE ALL the skins you put up on your babyhomepages site. I always enjoy seeing them and reading about your family. Your extremely creative and the love of your family….. is so transparent through your site. I just wanted to tell you that you’re an inspiration to me as a woman and as a mother. I love all the pictures of your bhp playdate. Wish I lived in California to join you all..... but I'm a bit far away.... (Chicago). I pray your family continues to be blessed.

Jaime,
We all had so much fun! Emily keeps talking about Alexis and can't wait to get together again real soon. It was just so cool to be able to see you all in person after reading about your families. It was always as if we knew you personally and now I really do.
Thank you so much for offering your place as the meeting place. I am so looking forward to do this again and meet at my place.
Your children are much more beatiful in person and I can see why you always talk about what a help Alexis is. She really was such a help with all the little ones.
We will have to talk soon and get this next BHP playdate on the calendar.
Your friend, Tina -bhp/ekman5 Jul 31 2007
I love to check out your website regularly. It's so beautiful. You really do a great job on it. The children are so lucky to have you as their Mommy. -Jamie & Family ~ www.babyhomepages.net/ejhaynes Jul 31 2007

Hi Troop Ward...
Jamie it was really nice meeting you and the kids today. Timberly, Arlee, and Alexis are so beautiful. Alexis has such a big heart and her smile is contagious. As for Ricky he is trully the MAN. He wet me really good by the slide and he was laughing so hard that he made me laugh really hard too! He is such a handsome young man!
Please tell Alexis Thank You for taking Emily down the slide. Everyone she has talked to today has heard about Alexis and how she took her down the slide. That really made Emily feel really special and that is all she keeps talking about lol.
Thank you again for hosting our first BHP play date... Can not wait for the next one or and family parties.
Hugs,
-Tina Jul 30 2007
I added a few more pix from today and brightened some of the others a bit. Thanks for checkin in. Love ya, Julie - Jul 30 2007
Jamie, I had a blast too! It was so much fun to meet your kids. Alexis was sooo great with my kids. I wish you lived closer so she could babysit for us. Her personality is so much more grown up than I would have imagined- what a big help you have! I enjoyed the entire day so much. Your house is beautiful and the area and pool are such a bonus! Thanks for hosting us. We loved it!! Can't wait to do it again. You are so very very sweet! -Julie Jul 30 2007
Loved all the pictures from your playdate today! I hate when the camera batteries die when you're not expecting it!! Atleast you can get some more pictures from the other ladies. Sounds like you all had a blast today!! I would have loved to have met everyone! (We should have met up while you lived closer to me hey?!!)
Hope you're feeling well and hanging in there... Love, Kristin

-bhp/schauers Jul 26 2007
Hi Jamie
Thanks for the birthday wish. I popped in to wish your oldest princess a very Happy Happy Birthday. Yikes she's almost a teenager. I remember what I was like at that age. Hehe you'll have your hands full.
Have a great day with your kiddos. -Rondha and the gang/ahrenjudekarransingh Jul 26 2007
Happy 12th Birthday Alexis! I've watched you grow over the last three years and you're blossoming into a BEAUTIFUL young girl...enjoy this coming year because next year, you enter the TEEN world! Woo Hoo!!! You're a wonderful role model for your brother and sisters and I know you're a big help to your mom.
I love the picture of you and your dad taken right before he left. I know you must be missing him like crazy, but keep that picture close to your heart and before you know it, he'll be back home again.
BIG hugs and kisses coming your way on your birthday from your friends in Atlanta.
