We may be playing with “boy” toys but we manage to girlyfy them in our own way. Train set transporting Hello Kitty around her little town and Aprille shaking her booty on the Wii Fit (wish I had a better action picture). Continue reading Girls just wanna have fun
Before we picked Aprille up from the airport we spent a few hours at Ikea. I love that place. We already have the daybed in the first picture but I really like how they put the cabinets around it. Wish we had one of these in Colorado. I guess I can just get a bunch … Continue reading Killing time
Anthony left this afternoon for training in San Antonio (as if it’s not bad enough they’re taking him away for a year… they tack on another week on top of it). Tonight went well. Just felt like the time was ticking away so slowly. Usually I get a break when Anthony gets home from work … Continue reading Test Run
I’ve been helping Anthony sort and pack everything he needs for his year deployment. Seeing the bullet proof vest and gun holsters make me a little bit nervous… OK a lot nervous. I haven’t really let myself think about it too much. This upcoming change is just too big to wrap my mind around and … Continue reading Gear
I treated JoJo and her friend MJ to a fun afternoon at Chuck E. Cheese. I love watching them together. They act like brother and sister and I’m sure they’ll miss each other when we leave. On another note: I really need to change my password so Anthony can’t edit my posts!!! You’re no fun … Continue reading Buddies

IF YOU REALLY WANT TO SEE THE … Continue reading Dabadee
Since we’re leaving in the next couple weeks, I’ve been trying to use all the stuff we have in the kitchen to make our meals. Tonight we had roasted lemon chicken with garlic, thyme and bacon! Roasted red potatoes, broccoli soup and for dessert, strawberry shortcake. Everything made from scratch… even the whip cream. Yum Continue reading What’s for dinner
We attended the Guam Liberation celebration in Copperas Cove today. Lots of people and tons of food. It was so hot in the civic center that we left as soon as we had our fill of Chamorro grub. Continue reading Islander
With gas prices so high, we have to find ways to entertain ourselves at home. We played with bubbles for a bit outside but the heat was out of control. I have to think of some fun indoor activities that don’t make too much of a mess (gotta constantly keep the house clean in case … Continue reading Pop
So as you know, it’s been my mission to get some healthy food into my family. Not exactly an easy task for a picky 3 year old. After watching an Oprah episode that featured a book called Deceptively Delicious, I was inspired. The book has a bunch of recipes that incorporates pureed veggies in uncommon … Continue reading Deception
