Snow Much Fun!

We had fun today as we ventured out into the snow. We have been blasted with snow...which means we can't drive on/off base, church was cancelled, playing in the snow, and just having a lazy day...what more could a girl ask for?


Greg emptying J's snow boots...they were full of snow....what use are they if they don't keep snow out?

baby J in the snow...he didn't know what to do with the snow once it was on his hands



Jordan rolling around & being silly

Jannah getting ready to sled ; unlike our last sledding adventure, we did have to climb back up the hill, there wasn't a moving walkway!!

Since When?

Since when did Jordan come to this conclusion? Today, I was kissing him, on the cheek.
This little conversation followed the kisses:
J- Mama, that's bad
Me- what's bad?
J- when a girl kisses a boy
Me- not at all, I'm your Mama, and Mamas kiss their boys
J-(still giggling) it is bad
Me- where did you get that from?
J- no where, it just is
So, what did I do about it? I just kept kissing him! I love nothing more than kissing my babies on their cheeks, I'm sure that receiving kisses is part of the cheek's functions.
This has nothing to do with Jordan's realization that kisses are bad. I realize most of you will think his hat looks a little silly, perhaps different than the normal winter hat. But I must say that every kid in Korea has a hat with an animal on top of it...it's the style around here. They keep their heads super warm, and they have grown on me to the point that I think they are just downright adorable!

Sledding & Skating

We went to Everland (a theme park that has much to offer) to take the kids on a sledding adventure. The weather was very mild and nice, the sunshine was abundant and so was the FUN! This picture was taken from the top of the hill.

It was an easy sledding adventure, there were moving walkways to take us to the top of the hill, it's kinda cheating, but we didn't complain!


Jannah after her first time down (she went with me the first time, but did brave it by herself too)

Jordan just hanging out in the tube, he also went down by himself

We also went ice skating. I loved roller skating as a child, and this is not at all similar. After helping J & J, and supporting myself too, my ankles were screaming!!


Jannah on her own

Jordan on his own
This was one of many wish tress at Everland; they were so cute, and I insisted that Jannah and I make a wish. Let's see how many of them come true!!


Jannah's wish....

We attached our wish to the tree; later on in the day, Jannah's wish for Dippin Dots did come true :)

Friday Fun

Here are some random pictures from the past couple of weeks that should make you laugh or at least make you wonder if we are normal.............and I think we are normal, just a little crazy!!

Jordan in one of his favorite possessions: a gas mask; you're issued one of these upon moving to Korea-in case the North Koreans attack South Korea; and that is a little bothersome at times!

Jamison after supper, I really don't know what happened, other than he is a complete mess!!

Jamison was caught! He think it's fun/cool to climb up in the chair......um, not safe!


J and J in Jordan's new hero clothes. Jannah is Spiderman, and Jordan is both an astronaut and decked out in his Joshua gear. I hate to tell him, but the battle of Jericho wasn't faught in space!

My Cruiser

My baby is standing and cruising, all in a matter of a few days. Seriously, he decided a while back that he would take his time on this walking thing; which was okay with me. I'm not rushing anything with baby J! This is the first picture of him standing (at 14 months), all by himself...doesn't he look proud of himself?


Jamsion took to the hallway in the apartments. Ah, yes the hallways serve as a backyard for all of the kids on our floor; nobody wants to go ride their bike/scooter in the frigid outdoors!

trying to take a step or two

just being cute as he's standing up
