So Thankful..

Appreciating every moment together! xo

Gabby Goo's Hair

So she sat for two hours to get the braids put in...  My child who hates her hair brushed or even touched!

After one week of semi-clean hair, Marz and I spent an hour taking the braids out!

And the final result....

How cute is that!!!! 

Take me back to the 80's! :)

She wants to do it again... Heaven help me and a pack of ear plugs, please! ;)

Teddy is 14!!!

Oh how time flies when you are having fun!!  Teddy is 14 today and is out hunting, trying to get his first deer and when he is all done with that, he will be shooting pheasants!  What an awesome birthday for any 14 year old boy!!!

Love you buddy!! xo

PS. Yes, animals were killed in the making of this post, and yes, they were all eaten! ;)

1st Day Of Hunting

Well the boys are finally both old enough to hunt!  So they made the long trek back to the US to hunt pheasant and deer.

Today was their first day out and it was a huge success!!  Here are the pictures from Chris...

Yes, those are the birds they shot!

Twenty minutes after they were in from hunting for the day.... Lights out!!

Nothing like a little jet lag to throw into the mix. :)

Circus Time

Some may say that life with 4 kids is nothing short of a daily circus. Well the circus left my house and came to Tembagapura!

The kids had two weeks of circus training. Some was during school hours and then after school hours. They were pretty worn out by the time the circus was over. 

Here's some pictures from the night:

Both the boys are in this picture. But you can hardly see them!  They are bottom support. ;)

Gavin using Ted's shoulders on the middle right

The whole school (except preschool) pyramid . 

Collapse... This was a controlled collapse where no children were injured in the making of the show. 

That's all FLOKS. 

The kids loved it!!  This was the best money the PTA has ever spent! ;)

Yeeee Haaaaawwww!

Our outfits were the bomb!!  But I don't have very good pictures of them. I will have to search out the community for full body pictures. Here are the ones I do have:

And They're Off!

It's a really bad picture of the boys leaving the hotel. They are on their way to the airport in Bali. Where are they going, you may ask?  Back to the USA!!!  It's Hunting Season! 

Have a great trip boys!! xoxo
