Easter

We colored eggs on Friday afternoon. The boys had a great time and Chase was army green afterwards.



Then on Saturday we had an Easter Egg hut with Joe's work. It wasn't the best since it was raining and they had it in the parking garage, but the kids got lots of candy so they thought it was great. It was also my actual birthday, Joe got me another little cake and some flowers.






Then Easter Sunday we woke up and the kids found eggs in the backyard then we headed out to the Lilly Festival on another island.

My birthday at Sam's by the Sea

I had a great birthday dinner at Sam's by the Sea with my girl friends. They also made me a yummy cake it was a chocolate ganache filling chocolate cake and raspberry filling vanilla cake. How lucky am I??? The cake was delish and the company was perfect.

Chaser's Actual Birthday

We went with the Salas Family to the Macaroni Grill for Chaser's actual birthday. We all had a great dinner and more cake.

Some of the things you are up to.

*You are taking so much now. You come up with more and more words everyday.
*You like to sing "I like big butts and I can not lie" (thanks to Bryson and Carter)
*You love Lightning McQueen, Buzz and Woody
*You are very independent.
*You love to cook still
*You like to play Peek-a-boo
*You like to play trains and cars

That's all I can think of at this moment. Back posting is hard ;)

The CRIME here on Kadena.....

is the worst we have ever seen on any base. During our two years so far we have had 3 scooters stollen, a skateboard, a tricycle and then our cars were broken into. How horrible huh?

This is what my van looked like after they went through everything. I just don't know why the crime here is so bad.

Happy Birthday Chase

We had an awesome backyard party for Chase the weekend before his birthday. He had all his friends come over and play in the water with him. We had a couple of pools and the big waterslide. It was the cutest Lightning McQueen party and he had a blast eating cake, hotdogs and opening presents.











I think everyone had a great time.

New Tubes for Carter

I noticed that I was having to repeat myself to Carter quite a bit. I asked him "Carter can you hear me?" Poor kid says "Sometimes I can't."

I of course yell at him (not really) but really :) "Why didn't you tell me?" He just shrugs.

I take him to have another hearing test and he of course fails. So today they are putting tubes in his ears. We hope this helps him.

We are having a........

well, the tech couldn't tell. I am 15 weeks and had a ultrasound today. I talked to the lady about how I have three boys and how we are just dying to find out what we were having but she couldn't see.

She did tell me that she saw three lines (which indicates a girl) but that the middle line was sticking out a bit to far (which would mean a boy). She didn't feel comfortable with saying either or. So, I guess we have 5 more weeks until we find out the sex.

SO EXCITING!!

For those of you that know you aren't allowed to guess but for anyone else what do you think "IT" is?

My new MAC

Yay!! It's finally here. Joe brought it back with him which means he is finally home from the states after two months. It's nice to have daddy/hubby back.

He almost made it.

Chase will be two at the end of next month and we have started to talk to him about the potty. Well.......he almost made it.

We are having a baby!!

Like I said earlier since I am back dating all my posts I was able to share with you all that I found out I was pregnant on January 26th, 2011.

I also explained that Joe and I were in such shock that it took us weeks and weeks before we actually started telling people ha ha ha. So on March 15th we decided to let family and friends know. I was almost 13 weeks.

I made these and sent them all off to close family and friends. Luckly everyone got it on the same day *grin*

The Big Earthquake of Japan

It's hard to put into words what mainland Japan is going through right now. So much devastation. March 11, 2011 has forever changed their lives.

Luckily we were spared and didn't even feel the quake. We did have a Tsunami warning for a few hours afterwards but thankfully it wasn't big enough to cause any damage here.

A few days after the quake we gathered up some supplies and made a donation to be taken to mainland Japan. The boys were very eager to help out.

Future CEO......maybe?

Sunflowers in Okinawa

Joe is gone back to the states once again. He gets back in April. I have been feeling awful with morning sickness. I swear it gets worse with each child. This morning we decided to go see the sunflowers. I did take these pictures with my nice camera but they all are straight out of the camera. I have not touched up any of them. I am sure they could look a lot better, but I am so far behind that I just don't have the energy to make them look pretty. Though this quick outing only caused me more grief as the ground was all mud. It was everywhere!! I had to strip Chase before I even put him back in his carseat.

Happy Valentine's Day

Can you believe there were no valentines cards at the bx to buy this year. We decided to make our own.

Happy Valentine's Day from our family to yours.

My Poor Mac

While playing keep away with Chase he grabbed his blanket and spun around. In doing this he spilled my whole glass of coke right on my 17inch macbook pro computer. I love my computer....it was a sad, sad day.

I took it apart to see if I could get it working again. I did but it does have some issues. I also didn't trust it anymore to not crash on me.



Time to get a new one.

Honey, we are having a baby......

didn't go as well as I had expected. I had four days for it to sink in and I kind of sprung it on Joe thinking everything would go great. Well, it took him a few days to get use to the idea as well.

This baby was a very big surprise to both of us and as we are happy and thrilled that God has blessed us with another child without even trying we both were a bit shocked.

We are looking forward to rounding out our bunch to an even number of 4 and after this baby we will be making other birth control arrangements. ha ha ha

4.........

Yep, surprise we are pregnant. Since I am back dating all these posts I can actually post when I found out. Which was January 26th, 2011. Joe was in the states when I took the test so he had to wait until he got back to find out. Which was only a couple of days away.
