Night Out!

Saturday, I went out with my Sista in law and some friends to a Mexican dance club in SLC, There was 6 of us who went. It was great! I learned to dance the Cumbia, a traditional mexican dance...It was so much fun!... I miss hearing Portuguese language, so being surrounded by Spanish speakers was cool! I haven't stayed out that late since I was in my early 20s, I didnt get home until 4am, it was a blast!

Steve found an apartment and will move in Jan 6th, he's excited! He's busy with work so he's tired all the time. This distance between us is very difficult. We all miss him so much. Hopefully once he's in his own apartment and has access to internet and phone we can have more contact.
Kylor tonight said, I want to be in the Air Force when I get older, I asked him why, his response was "because Daddy is", He look's up to his Daddy so much. He then told me he wants to get married and have 4 kids too. He's cute! He's growing up so fast.

My latest Guilty Pleasure...

I have started watching this great series! I can really relate to the character's. I'm not sure if it's the fact that Steve is currently in Korea or the fact that military members and their spouses are a different breed in general. I know I've shared my own hardships with my husband in the Military, as I try to support him. His job not only effects him, but it involves the whole family commitment, and it's a way of life for us. I suggest if you'd like to see a piece of what our lifes are like, watch it!

Orion's 4th Birthday Pix

I know I'm a stud!!!
Orion's 4th Birthday is on the 30th, I went ahead and got his pic done today though. Enjoy!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!

Today was a great day! I was ready for Christmas to come believe it or not! The kids wrote Santa letter's early in the month and they had fun with that. Santa didnt' bring everything they wanted of course but they got plenty of gifts, and that made them happy. It was great to see their reactions and Yes! Our boys beleive in Santa still...it's part of the Magic at Christmas~ I've forgotten how nice it is to spend Christmas around family. It's been two years since we've been in UT for Christmas and WOW! Steve was able to video conference with us in the morning and the kids were able to show Daddy some of their gifts they got. It was nice to see his face and he even got a Christmas gift from his roommate, some Chinese balls, they looked neat from wat we could see. The kids got some sleds so in the afternoon I took the kids outside and we had a blast! Orion was cold so he didnt last long, but he had fun.

I took some good pictures so click on the link down to the right (our Pictures link) if you want to see more.

SNOW. SNOW. SNOW

It's been snowing alot! I've gotten the kids their first pair of winter boots. We've never had to get them those in the past. They enjoy going outside and playing in the snow, they get cold though. The roads today were bad so I was able to use the 4 wheel drive that was fun. I can really feel a difference once it's on. We've had a constant stream of storms move through and they say this winter is going to be a bad one. Lucky us! I miss the warmth of the AZORES! I also miss my friends back there. Things are going fine, here in my little world, I've been trying to stay busy. The kids have had a nasty stomach flu bug so I've been having late nights and I've been doing laundry much. Poor Guys! I think we are over the most of it though. Tonight Orion flooded and clogged the bathroom sink with toothpaste, he was supposed to be in bed....I had my mother-in-law help me take the plumbing apart so we could clean it out. I walked in there and there was water everywhere. AHHH! I was going to take a picture, he had his Pj bottoms in the water saying he was trying to get them dry....funny boy, I sent him off to bed again and cleaned up the mess.
I don't hear much from Steve, his emails are few and far between, he says work is really busy.
