Little Chefs




My kids got invited to a super cute birthday party for their friend Breck last week. They all got to make their own pizzas and play pin the pizza toppings on the pizza. My friend Ali is extremely creative when it comes to her kids and exceeded all expectations. The cookie pizza with fruit toppings was to die for! Happy Birthday, Breck!

Kate crashes our date night




Once a month the daycare on base hosts a parents night out for FREE! It has been such a blessing for Rob and I to be able to have at least one night a month were we are able to get out and spend time together one-on-one. Since I'm not comfortable leaving Kate there yet, she has been crashing our date nights. I don't mind. This evening we went to a yummy Chinese place and for a walk along the seawall at sunset.

Invasion


We've been INVADED! Ants have been a constant problem ever since we moved to Old Lester. Pest control has been out to spray like 6 times! Augh! Scott...where are you when I need you? Any suggestions?

Aquathon-Part 2

These are in backwards order and I didn't have the energy to fix it! So read from the bottom up!

The guys and I.

Since there were no other women in the 30-34 age group-I WON! Whoo hoo! Here I am with my blue ribbon and Kate to prove I was doing it 6 weeks post partum.

That's my head bobbing out of the water. I think I was the only one to breast stroke the whole way. Maybe I'll try freestyle next weekend at the TriChicks race.

I think I can catch her....maybe not.

A 420m run followed by a 100m swim and then another 420m run. Rob in his smokin' hot TRI-suit.

Right before the race started. Rob's on the left and I'm on the far right.

Right before the race started. The girl to my left teaches Stroller Strides and the girl to my right works out at least 30 minutes each day. Geesh! I am WAY behind my competition. I think I ran a mile a little over a week ago...


It was a black flag day (which to the military means no outdoor PT (physical training)).

Another Aquarium visit

When we first got to the island we bought annual passes to the aquarium up north. It takes about 1.5 hours to get up there so we didn't use it nearly as much as anticipated. Wanting to get one last use out of it we headed up there again last weekend. The kids insisted on taking lots of photos so here are a few.





Of course we had to take a picture of the Japanese folks with their cell phones out taking pictures of every imaginable fish and crustacean in the joint.


Chillin' Out

I've been trying to upload some pics for awhile now. The kids like to play "sleep" and Kate decided to join in on the fun too.

Kate Cooing-6 weeks

Kate was talking to me the other night. She's so dang cute.
