Today

***Steve made it safe and sound to KOREA*** He called this morning and told me he'll probably be living off base all the housing is condemed so he's going house hunting after he gets some much needed sleep. I'll post some pictures as soon as we get some.
I found out today our friends are having triplets....they don't have kids yet and they are, well expecting their first 3 all at once. Congrats to them!!!! I'm so excited for them at the same time shocked! What a blessing....
Last night I had the boys create there "Dear Santa" lists, I explained to them that Santa can't bring everything they want but it's fun to want things...Kylor was happy that he'll be getting even some of the things on his list...Orion we'll he doesnt really want much other than a scooter, simple pleasures. With the economy in a mess and seems like everyone is down sizing there wants more for needs. I think this is a wonderful thing. We are so spoiled as it is... It's time to keep it simple and count our many blessings each day.
I've been working out and I'm going to try and loose a bunch of my baby weight by doing a cleanse/ detox come January...

So it begins...

Last night before Steve left for Korea


This morning 4am I dropped Steve off at the Airport for Korea. He was in Utah over the Thanksgiving holiday it was bitter sweet.... talk about months of emotions crammed into 5 days, it was just too short to be able to do and say everything we wanted to do. We had thanksgiving, and were able to get away for the night on Friday we went and saw the "Twilight" movie together we visited with family. Went to Temple Square, build-a-bear for the kids they picked a animal and Steve recorded a special message each of them. We visited with some good friends and it was amazing how much we complished in such a short time. I'm so sad to see him go. This year is going to be a hard one with ups and down and happy and lonely moments. "We don't remember days, we only remember moments." so....I will keep my favorite moments we've had together in my mind and hopefully the time will go by quickly.

Give Thanks for everything..

I'm thankful we will be all together for Thanksgiving.

Change in Plans

OK! So much has happened. I was putting Orion in preschool/Daycare on Mon and Fridays while I worked it was costing alot so I decided that I would forget that completely and just drop him off there just in case I need it. My Mom is nice and said that she would watch him and I could just pay her. I work three days a week. I'm planning on putting Kylor in Piano lessons once a week and Orion into Karate on Tues& Thurs the days I have off. I figure the money I could be spending would be better used on those programs other than just a baby sitter. I can't believe school is so much. If education is so important, why should/does it cost so much?? It was free in Portugal, I guess we were spoiled in ways living outside the USA. I can't wait to move to Germany!!! I'm not used to the American way of life still and If we have any choice in the matter, we'll be living oversea's as long as possible once we are outta here. Our pretty white cat Felix has gone missing we let him out a few days and he was fine he came back to the house no problem, Sunday night we let him out around dusk and we have not seen him since. I've checked the animals shelter and nothing! He has a microchip so we are hoping somebody turns him in. I'm worried that someone stole him but ya never know. I'm much more settled now. Steve comes Wednesday for a visit then he'll be off to Korea. We are all very excited to see him.

6 Yr Molars

Kylor is getting his Molar's in. I totally fogot about those. It's neat to watch your kids grow. We had parent teacher Conf. last night and his teacher told me he's a great kid and does really good, he's really quiet though. She said that during the conference this was the most she had seen Kylor talk, those of you who know Ky, know that he's not quiet, but he's like that at school only. He's always been a bit shy, but once he's comfortable he really comes out of his shell.

Deer in the back!

Yesterday I was resting on the coutch down stairs and O was next to me watching TV, he gasped and I looked outside. He saw two deer eating the tree's, I took a closer look out the window and their were actually 5 back there grazing on the trees and grass. Orion thought it was so cool! He went outside and they praced away. Later Kylor came home from school and we told him about the Deer he ran outside and was so excite to see one. Orion took him back and they spotted two but they ran away. Last week I was coming home and I saw a buck crossing the road and went through the houses and down into the valley where the tree's are. It was shocking, I feel like I live out in the woods. Kinda neat!
