Congrats Aunt Katie

Aunt Katie just took a new job as the Dallas Cowboys Pastry Chef. We are so excited it sounds like a really fun job. Good luck and Katie we are proud of you.

Santa Santa Santa

We have been all around town visting Santa, we have watched parades, stood in very long lines, ate breakfast with him, and told Santa everything we wanted. Here are just a few times we have seen santa, I am not kidding we have seen him at least 10 or so times. This is the first year both kids sat on his lap.

Gingerbread House

On Friday Kaden's school decorated gingerbread houses and had a potluck. Tim and I were both able to attend and we had a great time. Kaden was very excited and loved having us in his classroom.

Kinsley's Ballet

Kinsley had a great ballet recital this past Friday night, she did so great. She dancced to jingle bell rock and it was so adorable. Kinsley had a great time and she now thinks she is all grown up. I would love to post the whole video but can not figure it out if someone knows email me.

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving was wonderful. We had about 15 people in our tiny on base house. However, it was great the food was delicious and everyone had a great time. Check out our attempt to get a family photo, the kids were way to excited to be still. Happy Thanksgiving.

Congrats and Welcome Baby Jackson

Congrats Bethany and Jason!

My long time friend Bethany and her husband Jason Bennett, have waited a long time for this precious little boy. I wanted to share with you how perfect he is. Welcome to the world baby Jackson, I can not wait to see you.

The kids at the park

I know it has been a while since I have posted. Here are some pictures of Kaden and Kinsley with our neighbors at the park. As we get ready for Thanksgiving, I asked the Kids what they were thankful for and Kaden responded with Parks, water, Jessica, Tim, and sister. Kinsley her bedroom, and family.

Toys

https://www.fatbraintoys.com/index.cfm

Weird name but this is a toy website with reasonable prices that ship to APO address for free. I Love that. I wanted to share. Shipment is also within 2 weeks to Okinawa.

How do they change this fast

Since we have been in Japan, Kaden has had the chance to do some modeling with a local company. Today we went to get more photos taken and she emailed me these pics from one year ago. I miss the curly hair soooo much.

Thank you Grandpa and Grandma

Thank you for Kaden's karokle machine for his birthday, both kids love it. Kaden enjoys singing without the music. Kinsley likes to carry it around and listen to the music. It was a big hit. By the way it also can get very loud.

Halloween and the pink contact

Halloween this year was not as normal as we would have liked it to be. The Wednesday before Kinsley started to complain about her eye hurting, we rinsed it and could see it was red. The next day the complaining was still going on, to the pediatrician we went.

They told us she must have poked her eye with something. We started eye ointment. Friday for Halloween she would not open either eye, and was very grouchy. However Kaden had a wonderful time and Kinsley got pushed around in a wagon. The next day, eye still no better to the ER we went. To our surprise they found a pink sequin off her costume in her eye. Yes in her eye for days. She said mommy "thats my contact". Unbelievable.

Kaden wore a batman costume to school and was speed racer for Halloween, Kinsley was a glitter witch.

More Birthday

One of the good things of being oversea's for your birthday is that is goes on for a week or so, the postoffice never gets things here all at once. So hang in there while I share more birthday pics. Kaden's birthday fell during the week, so on Wed, Tim and I gave him a bike and a game, had ice cream cake and his requested dinner ( hamburgers). On Sat ( Which by the way both kids have been sick all week, and to get Kaden through the party he had to take nausea meds and motrin) we had aparty at the bowling alley. Kaden was super excited because his classmates got to come. Mommy and Daddy liked it because is all we had to do is showup with cupcakes. He had a great time, we ended up with 14 kids and it was a blast.

Thank you Aunt Katie

Aunt Katie sent a package full of goodies, these wonderful and very cute cookies, lots of candy, halloween shirts (the kids needed), and Kaden's Birthday present. Thanks again Aunt Katie, Cookies were UM!

Happy Birthday Kaden

Happy Birthday Kaden

He is officially 5 and his birthday will go on for several days. It started on Sat, Aunt Tee Tee and Uncle JD sent Kaden some money to go shopping at Toys R Us. We went, and Kaden picked out a remote control monster truck, and a speed racer hotwheel. Kinsley of course got s stuff frog. Outside of the store was little play area. They had a blast and Tee Tee got credit for the whole trip.

Pancakes Anyone

My little helpers, pancakes are always fun. I know it looks funny but kaden is wearing a pj bottoms. Kinsley is mad of course, she wanted to hold the bowl.

The Ramen Place

This is one of favorite restaurants at the moment. They mostly serve Soba and Ramen, it is very good. You get so much food. The bowls are HUGE, almost the size of Kinsley. You order off the picture menu and always get a good surprise.

Tim at work

I am always posting about the kids, because they consume my life, however someone sent me these pictures of Tim at work and I wanted to share.

Happy Anniversary

Today Tim and I celebrate our 6th Anniversary, It has been an exciting 6 years and we can not wait for many more. I still can not believe how lucky I am to have found him.
