Disneyland

I know I'm really behind on my blog, but I didn't realize that I hadn't posted pictures of our trip to Disneyland in January 2009. When we moved from Phoenix and were enroute to Korea, we decided to have a little fun before heading overseas. David's parents came to Phoenix to see us, and then we all drove to LA to go to Disneyland. We did 3 full days, and the kids had a blast. I think the parents even had a good time too!! :)

Ballet

We have started ballet here at the youth center. Sydney loves it when it's Tuesdays, so she can get dressed up and go prance around. She actually asked me to get the camera and take pictures of her before we left. Can you tell this child has had a camera in her face since birth???

Luke would LOVE to go to ballet, but it's not gonna happen!

Baylee even got into the action and got in her costume!!

Seoul Tower

We're feeling a very long way from home!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wanted to get a picture of the city and how large it is, but this picture doesn't really do it justice. Seoul is a city of about 10 million people and is one of the world's largest cities. In the U.S., we can get around fairly easy with/without the help of a GPS, but in this city it is very easy to get lost even with a GPS. How would I know this???? Well, we got lost going to Seoul and coming home. My sweet husband borrowed a GPS from a friend and we took off for our Saturday adventure. Needless to say, it's a complicated city. Even the locals have a GPS in their cars and can't get around without one. It's funny though, sometimes you pass by them and they are watching some game show or soap opera while they are driving down the road. Scares me to death!!!!

Putting our lock on the fence. It's said to be good luck!!

A little toooooo close for me!!!!!!

I love this picture!

VBS at Enid Mennonite Church

Luke is on the front row, navy shorts, plaid shirt to the right of the white circle.Sydney and Catherine are directly behind him. They were singing, "This little light of mine." I got the video of him on our camera, but actually caught him at home singing it for me. I put the video below. Precious!

4th of July

There's nothing like the 4th of July, but there's nothing like being in America on the 4th of July! We were so glad to spend this holiday in America this year! We had a full day of swimming, picnic, fireworks in the driveway (illegal of course), and then the big display at Meadowlake. We sure missed daddy not being there.

Having fun with cousins!

One of the things we got to do this summer, was spend alot of time with our cousins. The kids rarely get a chance to see each other, so it was nice we got to see them several times this summer. Catherine had a birthday while we were home, and Luke and Lauren also had their birthday in August. It was nice to be around some family while we celebrated Luke's birthday this year!

Meadow Lake Park

One of our favorite spots this summer was Meadow Lake Park. Both Sydney and Luke have been going there since they were old enough to walk. This year was so fun to watch Luke since he is soooo crazy about trains! Our routine is, ride the train, planes, cars, and then the carousel is last. Then PaPa takes them to get a "no-cone", or "sno-cone" as we would call it! I love to watch how excited the kids get when we get there! These are memories that my kids will remember forever with their PaPa and Suz!

Heading to Oklahoma....

Happy to be in hot Oklahoma!!!!!!!!

On the plane looking forward to our 14 hour ride!

I have been neglecting our blog since June, and for good reason. The kids and I decided to head to Oklahoma and see our wonderful family. We took off in late June after school was out. I can honestly say I did not dread the trip home at all, even the long 27 + hour bus, plane, and car ride to get there. We were all so excited to be back in Oklahoma and be with our loved ones! I think I could have even gotten on a boat at that point and sailed back home. It may take me awhile to upload pictures from our 2 month adventure, but I will get it done eventually. I will have to put my daughters 1st grade homework at the top of the to do list (crazy, huh?), but I will get around to posting it all! Hope you all had a great summer! God bless!
