Easter and other stuff

After celebrating Creed's birthday, we've been keeping busy. The kids have activities everyday after school. I got a little wise and started having Brodie's bus drop him off at Tae Kwon Do instead of coming home and having the opportunity to not want to go. He knows that he's going straight after school and seems to really like that. Me too!!

Jenna lost her third tooth. It's the same tooth Brodie had to have pulled out this past summer. Now I have two children with that tooth missing. Jenna will get that tooth a lot sooner than Brodie though.

We had an Easter Egg hunt here. It was me with three kids....BY MYSELF!!! I'm a very lucky person to have friends here to help me out. They had the egg hunt sectioned out by ages...0-3, 4-6, 7-10. How am I supposed to be in 2 places at the very same time??? Luckily my friend Laura took Jenna and Brodie with her and her son Andrew for their egg hunt. I took Creed for his. After the hunt, they had these huge blow up bouncy things for the kids. My friend Amey watched the kids for me so I could put everything in the car. Then she helped me get in line for food and got a hot dog, chips and drink for Jenna. This is what the Army calls our "military family". Without them, a lot wouldn't get done. I'm so very thankful that these friends were so willing to help me out! Bill had just returned from going out to the field and had to stay at work while they finished getting everything accounted for.

After the egg hunt, we came home, decompressed from all of the activities and then...GOT TO DYE EASTER EGGS!! All of the kids had a wonderful time. Creed's hands were completely blue by the time we were finished. Jenna and Brodie shared the stickers and the egg holder like good friends. Of course after all of the fun activities of the day, bath time.

Easter morning was early for us. Brodie got up around 6:00 wanting to know if the Easter Bunny came. We tried to hold him off for as long as possible, but then Jenna got up shortly after that. Creed on the other hand, was sound asleep and didn't want to get up. Needless to say, he was quite a "cranky Creed" as Brodie told Mimi. We went to our good friends house for dinner and it was so delicious. We all had a very nice Easter.

The next day when I took Brodie to his bus stop, this cute little Korean lady gave Creed these two Easter eggs. She always has a smile and a "Anyahasaeoh" each morning for us. I'll have to get a picture of her with the boys. Creed kept telling me these were "his" eggs.

Of course we can't finish this post without a picture of this. This is what happens when your 3 year old finds the camera and drops it. Ouch!!!

Guess who turned three???

It was Creed's birthday Sunday. We had a small party for him on his actual birthday, because Daddy was gone and then he got back home, then he's leaving again this Friday. He had a good day, but we think he was a little embarrassed by everyone paying attention to him. Maybe being the third child does this??? Out of all of our children, he didn't want to blow out the candles on his Cars birthday cake. Jenna had to come help him out. He did enjoy eating the cake and ice cream.

I made the cake myself with some ideas from the web.

The birthday boy!Eating cake...yum.Opening presents with help from Avery.

Hi there

Hi. I'm really not missing, I guess I just haven't had much to say. There are things going on in our lives that I really should be blogging about. Maybe it's the fact that Bill and I are completely addicted to Toontown and that's what I end up doing after the kids have gone to bed. First things first. This is what you call a BIG owie. Creed threw a "Little Pony" and where it landed was our awesome computer monitor. It shattered the LCD. It won't work anymore. We are very sad. On the up side of all of this, we still had our old monitor so we didn't have to go buy a new one!!!

Brodie started Tae Kwon Do last month. He tested for his yellow belt and Master Choe(pronounced chae) said that he needed to work a little harder. The next time that he went back, they re-tested him and he got his yellow belt!! He was SO proud. We were too!

Jenna had World Thinking Day for Girl Scouts. Since we've moved from Daegu it's a little different. Last year we were with some Korean Girl Scouts. This year it was just our girl scouts and the girl scouts from Osan and we had it at the indoor pool in Osan. It was different, but Jenna and the girls had a great time swimming after it.

Creed is almost 3 years old. It's SO hard to believe that my baby is going up. I took him in for his 3 year well child check up as our pediatrician is going on vacation for 30 days in March. He's doing pretty well, but I need to take him in for a hearing test. His eczema is terrible now. It's so dry here that he's constantly scratching at his ears, wrists, behind his knees, etc. She gave me some new cream to try on him. We'll see how this works out. Yes, he's dressed as a Princess, but when you're older sister has all of this really cool stuff to wear, he thinks it's ok.

Bill is doing an exercise right now and we can't wait for him to be back. He'll be back in time for Creed's birthday and then off to the field.

If I find anything else really exciting to write about. I'll make sure that you're the first to know!

Not much going on

There really hasn't been much going on here. I've had sick kids and hoping they are all on the mend now. The only one who hasn't been sick....knocking on wood.....is Creed. Thanks goodness for that. This weekend we didn't do a whole lot. Jenna went to her friends birthday party. We went to Osan on Sunday and ate at Chili's. The kids are back in school now and all of their after school activities as well. This weekend is a long weekend too. Jenna has World Thinking Day for Girl Scouts. Other than that, Bill and I may try to get a date night in before he has to leave for a couple of weeks. Hope all is well with all of you! =)

Super Bowl

We're all better here now. It was a rough week, but we made it through. Everyone but Creed got sick and I'm still waiting for it to happen. I'm really hoping it won't.

We're also getting ready for big Super Bowl Monday morning for us!! Yes, it starts at 7:20 in the morning I believe. Of course, we don't get all of the commericals and we'll have to watch them online, but hey..it's ok.

Bill and I were just discussing how we don't have much time here. This summer will be a year left. We can't believe how fast our time has gone here.

We hope you all have a wonderful Super Bowl Sunday and enjoy the time with family and friends!
