Mio turned 3!!

Mio's birthday was yesterday and she turned 3! We got her this DISGUSTING bone for her birthday. We have never given her one and at first she didn't know what to do with it, but she soon got the hang of it and LOVED it! We keep it outside for her and I wrap it up and stick it away when she comes inside so that ants won't get to it. GROSS. She is one happy 3 year old!

Happy Birthday Lexi!!

Here is the next shout out: This one is for little LEXI..Happy 6th birthday!! Lexi is my niece and we want to tell her Happy Birthday! We wish we were there to celebrate it with her. She is such a darling little girl. I love this pic of her with her missing tooth :). I can't believe that our kids are now 6!! They grow up too dang fast! We love you Lexi!

Rain Rain GO AWAY!!!

I sure am sick of the rain and yucky weather and here's the kicker, it isn't even rainy season yet. Argh!! (Yes, I decided that I am a pirate today). Anyway, here are some fun pics of the kids. At least Lainey is stylish despite all this rain! Grandpa J and Grandma Reading gave her this...get it, Lainey "bug"..so damn cute!!



Isn't this the most AWESOME picture? I would like to take credit for it, but you all know who took it. :)


Ethan being weird..


Andy took this pic when Ethan said "this is what I would look like with my arm around my girlfriend. Yes, he has a little love..her name is Kat and she is a cute little tomboy. How appropriate right?!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TAVAN!!

I missed Jordan's birthday (oops) so, I am redeeming myself and posting this a DAY early! It is my 12th, but back in the states it it still the 11th. I want to be the first to wish Tavan Kathleen Smith a Happy Birthday! For all of you who don't know, she is my step-sister. Really though, she is more than that, she is a great friend. She is one of the funniest people I know and I can always count on a good time when she is around. She is also my Happy Sumo buddy. Who wouldn't love someone who loves to eat sushi almost as much as me right?! Since all of our stuff is in storage I don't have a single pic of her in my possession...so, I stole one from her blog. Happy 29th b-day tav!! Oh goodness...your going to be OLD next year...ha ha!

Ethan and Truman climbing stuff at the park..they had a blast!

Diva baby...

Nasty Nasty Earthworms!!!!!!!!!

Sorry for the underlining, I can't get it off. But Anyway, I went outside this morning to get Ethan's shoes in my BARE FEET mind you and I stepped on one of these horrible nasty earthworms!!!! EEEWWWWW!! It rained really hard last night and this I what I have to deal with. YUCK! Well, to tell you the truth, I am going to wait for Andy to wake up this afternoon and have him deal with these nasty guys.

Happy March!

I love March. Spring is such a nice time of the year.. winter is finally over and we start to see the sun again. Well, here in Okinawa it never really went away, but still, I can FEEL that it is spring (at least somewhere anyway!). March is the month we were married and it is also birthday time for Ethan and me! Not to mention, I have about a hundred relatives with birthday's this month too. See, I haven't forgotten, I will even give you all shout outs on your special day! Okay, I might have cheated a bit and looked at Lisa's blog for a little help as to when the ACTUAL dates where, but still.
I decided to post a bunch of pics this time because if I don't I will never be able to catch up. Andy is taking all sorts of fun pictures and it is starting to overwhelm me. So, here is my attempt to pull out some of the great/funny shots! Enjoy!
