Kylor get's his face painted

A must share story...

Sunday we went to a Birthday party there on base, we usually don't do those on Sunday but decided we'd go this time. We went right after church in our church clothes thinking it would spark interesting in what church we go too. It sure did.....anyways moving on to my story

at these Birthday parties on base they have a face painter and jumpy castles and clowns etc. Kylor never wants to get his face painted but he saw his friend Kadin have something green on his face, so he went over and asked for the same thing Kadin had. Kadin's mom was not there. After he got it painted, Kylor came over to me really excited and showed me his face. It was a green can of "Beer" on his face, I looked at Steve and he at me and we just smiled with suprise that he had a beer can on his face, he went off and played and shortly after he came over and ate with me...I asked Kylor what it was on his face, I said Kylor do you know what that says? He said no, I said, it says "beer, and what is beer? Kylor reply, it's alchohl, his face feeled with dissapointment, and like "huh?" he ran off and played and no kidding with in 5 mins he had wiped that green paint off his face and was over there in the painting chair again asking for a Tiger painting, Orion wanted to be a monkey, he said in tickeled while he was getting painted on, it was cute, he was so excited!... I thought this was a cool story to share.. I loved how Kylor made a good decision using his own judgement and what he thought to be good. We are so proud of him.

****Today Quinn was in his excersaucer and went in a circle, around on his own moving his feet, so cute and I saw him trying to roll over from his back while we were eating dinner, I bet he's going to have two teeth by the time he's 6 month, you can see the indents on his lower jaw where his teeth will come in and he's got the drool to prove it***** He's grown so fast!!!!!

update! & Weather

We have been having some really windy weather and rain these past two days looks like Thrusday we'll have a break. Steve was over on the other side of the island working on his radar today, he say's it took him 15 mintes to close a chainlink fence cause the winds were pushing him so badly. Yeah sometimes I've even felt like I can fly on days like these...Work is keeping him so busy these days, makes it hard, his schedule is different everyday and makes it hard to plan things for us together as a family. Just a few more days our list for move comes out...Will keep you posted!
Friday was the first day of Orion going to school full time now. 9-12 then hour lunch then 1-3 for 2 more hours...he tells us at home that he had fun at school, He's learning so much and becoming even more independent than before. It's helping us alot with him being occupied he's even better at home now too. The fact they are strict (stern) with him there at school like we are at home doesnt hurt either.. He just is a busy body and he'll probably always be high energy little man. His teacher yesterday told me...Orion was asking for Pae (dad in portugese) Steve spent lunch hour with him yesterday so he was saying Pae and mom....cute!
Kylor and Orion both went to Awana's tonight, they were much better this time than last week, Orion didnt have a good day last week and he was awnree for them, they told me all the kids were like that though. Kylor passed off his first scipture memorization John 3:16 I stayed to volunteer a little and signed off things for some other kids too. What a great program that is. It's hectic during the week here so Steve and I have minimal time to talk due to his schedule 2-3am to 11 or noon depends on the day.
Little Quinn is getting so big the other night he slept from 10 to 6 that was nice, he's awake alot during the day and sleeps mostly at night with 1 time he wakes up....it's great! I love our boys, they are growing and learning so much...It's tough, and busy but I guess we can handle this task..I'm still working out for my hour at the Gym so it helps ALOT!!!!

NEWS TODAY~ of our Great Prophet Passing

Beloved Church President, Gordon B. Hinckley, Dies at 97
SALT LAKE CITY 27 January 2008 President Gordon B. Hinckley, who led The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints through twelve years of global expansion, has died at the age of 97.
President Hinckley was the 15th president in the 177-year history of the Church and had served as its president since 12 March 1995.
The Church president died at his apartment in downtown Salt Lake City at 7:00 p.m. Sunday night from causes incident to age. Members of his family were at his bedside. A successor is not expected to be formally chosen by the Church’s Quorum of the Twelve Apostles until after President Hinckley’s funeral within the next few days.

**********************************************

My own thoughts..He was a great leader and example of Christ's church and was so understanding of others and loved everyone and taught us all how to be more like Christ. He became the Prophet when Steve and I was 15 years old and I remember many conferences with his words. He had such a funny sense of humor and would make us smile too. He was a great man and prohet of God and he will always be remembered

Island Adventuring

Only light house on the island...it's in working order too, people live in it...Then a neat looking Cemetary...

Today our friends the Alamo's took us to a place on the island we had never been before. We spent the who day with them...they are great friends! We went to their house afterwards and played phase 10 well into the evening....it was so much fun! We definately have to do that more with them before they leave this August. While we were driving we saw a chicken on the side of the road. I asked Kylor " Why did the chicken cross the road?" His reply..."to pop out more eggs.." made us all laugh....I didnt expect that reply.

Family Acores Pictures

Here is a sample of the pictures we had taken last week.

Grandma Hash Pass

My Sweet Grandma Hash Passed on yesterday, she had been bed ridden for 8 years, so this news is bitter sweet, we got a warning from Dr.'s in Novemeber that her time is limited.

She was such a wonderful woman with a sweet loving heart. She always had a way of making Steve and I feel so special when we would go and visit her. She told me many times how she could relate to me cause she was the Youngest in her family too. She has one older Sister. I always felt love from Grandma Hash. When we took our baby's (Ky and Orion)to see her for the first time she'd say "So Precious, so new, right from the Angle's" and she'd smile and clap her hands with delight. Those are a few memories of my grandmother I'd like to share with you.

She is and will be missed by many. I really wish we could make it to the funeral, but distance is sometimes a burden, nevertheless she is in our hearts to stay, and we know we will see her again one day. I'm so blessed to have the knowledge that families are eternal. It makes times like these a comfort to know we will all be together one day as one big eternal family.

We love you Grandma Hash!
