Goodbye 2013, HELLLLOOO 2014!!

An excellent past leading to an exciting future!

 

 

2013 was such a great year!

We welcomed Bomber as our newest addition to the clan. While it hasn't always been easy to adapt to having a former Military Working Dog around, we are happy he is protecting our laps from anything that might steel his spot.

 

Kaedyn earned his Orange belt. After only 6 classes of hard working, butt kicking action Kaed tested for and was awarded his orange belt in Tai Kwon Do. The board he is holding is the board he broke with a single side kick. 

 

We said "Goodbye North Dakota!!"

After 3 years spent in the icy tundra we finally put it in our rearview. ND was great and we enjoyed learning to appreciate heaters in our cars and homes. We said goodbye to good friends but we look forward to the friendships we will this coming year.

 

Daddy left us for his own adventure but we will join him soon! 

 

And a year just isn't complete without a trip to Utah's first annual COMIC CON!!

 

Hanging out with Spiderman was awesome.



Captain America was probably the highlight of the event for these kidos.

            We were full up on Super Hero at this fun event so we went for a swim in Zombi brains.

 



 

And when trouble presented it's self in the evil villain Warlock, Wonder Woman, Superman, and Batman appeared to save the day! Sadly the kids were nowhere to be found...

 

 

 

2013 ended with a movie and game nigh and enough candy to get us to midnight but just barely.

 

 

This year was a great year filled with adventures and surprises. Stay tuned to 2014 where our adventures begin in Korea!

 

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!





 

Ending the year with a little charity

For those of you who have the pleasure to know our Caisy Noelle, you know what a fiery little thing she is. You know how sassy and "matter-of-fact" she can be as well. You also know that she can be the sweetest, most caring little thing too. Well, today was a sweet moment for Miss Z.Z. Today, she decided to cut her hair quite a bit shorter than originally planned so she could have enough to donate.

When Caisy was asked if she would like to donate her hair today she was a little confused. She was then told how her hair can make a wig for a child who lost their hair due to a sickness much like her aunt Erica lost her hair from chemo. There was no hesitation after that. Caisy wanted to cut it shorter so she could give a little girl without hair some of hers.

No tears of remorse for her lost locks, just a humble little girl wanting to do something for someone else.

Kaed and ZZz birthdays

My oldest little guy just turned 9!!! It makes me sad to see him grow up so fast but I couldn't be more proud of that kid. He is so brilliant at times yet funny and witty as well. I know he will do amazing things one day. Then there is my beautiful princess, need i say more ;) Caisy is a young woman who knows how to get everything she wants and now that she is 7 she has one more year of experience in the books. I know the tardis is a little battered but what do you expect when making a cake while the power was out (for 5 hours) it tasted great though and while lala loopsi turned out so much better it doesn't mean I like either of them more. I appreciate all of their quirks and qualities and I love them both very much!

Kaeds pen pal visit

Kaedyn has a pen pal from the local nursing home who came to visit him at school. Kaedyns class put on the play Peter Rabbit for all the pen pals and then had lunch with them. Kaed got to be a set changer for the play as well as play an instrument.

Winters hostage

It has been discovered Winter is holding Spring hostage. No ransom has been requested and authorities are at a loss for motive in this case. The trail has gone cold with no leads as to the where abouts of Spring. This unfortunate incident has effected so many and has caused a great deal of heart ache. Anyone with any leads or information as to returning spring please pursue and retrieve as soon as possible. When encountering Winter please use caution. It is a dangerous and unpredictable weather following a forecast of its own.

Reminiscent

I was looking through pics on an old memory card and found some of all the littlekids together. I miss the Christmas days with everyone together.

Introducing Bomber

Bomber is an explosive detection dog trained by the United States military for the U.S Air Force. He has been deployed to hostile locations and has been trained in aggression to subdue the bad guys. Bomber has lived his whole life as a vicious weapon protecting soldiers. A year ago Bomber suffered a heat injury and never recovered. He was medical retired as a working dog and allowed to be adopted by a military handler. So of course my husband decided it was a good idea to bring him home where are four children are. I was worried he might be aggressive towards the kids. Turns out he's a big softy who loves the kids. We have had Bomber for two months now and he has not once shown any signs of aggressiveness. So now its time to get our new child ready for an overseas move. Of to get a kennel and new treats and toys with the boys!!
