Father/Daughter Dance





Daddy got to escort the sweetest little lady to the Girl Scout Father/Daughter dance this year.
It was a close call that daddy was able to attend since he was TDY that week. There was one happy little girl that night her daddy showed up on the doorstep! These pictures melt my heart!

DMZ









David and I finally had a chance to sneak off for the day and head to the DMZ. After seeing everyones pictures, it's nice to actually see it for yourself. It's a very uneasy feeling that across that border there are North Koreans that do not like you and would probably kill you! I'm so glad we got to see the DMZ while we were stationed at Osan.

Fall Soccer...yes, I'm behind!!


Fall soccer has come and gone. I'm so behind on my blogging!! It may take me awhile to catch up, but I will eventually get it all posted! We have been a very busy family with lots of activities going on for the kiddos! Soccer was so fun this fall. Sydney has finally figured it out, so it's very fun to watch her grow and learn. Luke is rather comical to watch at this age! He's such a busy boy, so soccer is such a great sport to let him release all his boyish energy!!

Sydney's first day of 2nd grade!






Sydney was a little apprehensive of her 2nd grade year, but once she got there, she was fine! Mrs. Louder is her teacher, and she has several friends from last year that are in her class. We will have one more year (hopefully), of going to more than one school in a year. We are hoping to eventually get on the summer cycle so my kids can finish an entire school year in one place! The adventure of the Air Force is wonderful, but we are really ready to settle down!

Luke's first day of Kindergarten and mommy's not doing so well!!











Luke....You will never know how much I love you, and I can only hope someday that maybe you can understand how painful this day has been for me. I've watched you grow from a tiny baby to a sweet little boy. We've had our ups and downs through your toddler years, but we all survived! Now, I have to let you go off into the big world and explore and grow. I just want you to know how much I love you, and how much Jesus loves you. You are the greatest gift that God could have given us, and maybe that's why mommy is just a little sad today. I know you are going to do great things, and I KNOW you are going to LOVE Kindergarten! I will just have to get used to my "little buddy" not being with me all day, but I will be so excited when 2:30 rolls around and I can come pick you up! We love you so much Lukey! :)

Basketball Camp!!






For those of you that know me, I don't need to say a word!!! In no way do I want my daughter to follow in my footsteps, it would be nice, but not necessary! We had a B-ball camp here on base for 6 days over a 2 week period, so we thought it would be fun to have her try. After all, this is the "trying to find our thing phase", right? Sydney really ended up enjoying her time in the gym, and I have a feeling she will be trying it again in the near future. I can't tell you how many memories it brought back for me, and how much it made me appreciate my dad more than ever!! Love you Dad!

Luke turns "5"









Our poor second child finally had a "real" birthday party, with friends included! We always seem to be at home when Luke has his birthday, so we usually have a family get together. That's one disadvantage that Sydney doesn't get, since we are usually away from family during April. So, this year David and I decide to throw this boy a party, complete with a cake, friends, bowling, and lots of presents! I've never seen somebody so excited for his big day!! When we first arrived at the bowling alley, he just went in the room and sat down to wait for his guests to arrive, it was so cute!! He was thrilled to death that everyone was actually singing to HIM!!
For the next 2-3 days, he kept telling David and I, "happy birthday!" It truly was worth every penny and effort spent to make his day so special! We love you baby Luke! :)
