We were trying to see all the other "para-sailor's"

Thank you Luis! Love you! It was a great day!

Happy Valentines Day!

Phew....I just noticed my last post was way over a month ago! It has been a crazy month. Our orders finally came in....YEAH!!! We will be moving to Minn. sometime in April! So that has officially started the chaos. Landon was sick for almost 2 weeks with some knid of bug that landed him in the hospital for almost 2 days--he is all better now, thank the Lord, because I don't think I could have handled anymore and I know for a fact he couldn't either! The boys have been busy with school, field trips, soccor playdates...etc. Yesterday Seth and I made 70 V-Day cupcakes for the kids at school(I never want to see another cupcake or my kitchen aid mixer AGAIN!!!). We had a good day filled with lots of interesting 4-yr old conversation! I loved every minute of it!

Now for the V-day goods! My sweet husband has surprised me with tickets to go para-sailing tomorrow morning with him, complete with a lunch/cruise!! I am so excited! I have always wanted to go para-sailing and it just never worked out! So off we go for a little adventure!!! More to come on how well it goes.......ha ha.

We have a busy weekend coming up, bowling, dinner with friends and Kalea's Beach B-day party! Then on Sunday we all fly out to go to Australia for the week!!!! The boys are so excited.......... as our Mom and Dad! More to follow on how our trip goes and lots of pictures to follow!!!!!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!!!! I can't believe 2008 is here~this year has gone by sooooo fast! Well, 08 will be the year we move back to the states! The countdown has officially begun.......now for New Year resolutions.....yeah at this moment in time I HAVE NONE!!!! ha ha I thought I lived perfectly in 2007, nothing needs to change other than getting back to Minneasota!

Cheers!

Santa made it to Guam!

Seth was concerned about Santa making it all the way to Guam, so when the boys woke up and saw the "letter" Santa left for him, they were thrilled! Dad read the letter:

Dear Seth and Landon

Thank you for the milk and cookies

Love, Santa

P.S. Next year Rudolph would like some celery and carrots!

The boys thought that was cute and insisted next year that they HAVE to leave the reindeer something to eat!

We had a great Christmas~!
Seth was so excited that Santa brought him a scooter!

Cookies for Santa!

It's so much fun with the boys at this age, not only are they intrigued by EVERYTHING, but they are really starting to understand Christmas! They know that it is Jesus's B-day, but of course are more concerned at the moment with making sure that Santa get his cookies and milk on Christmas Eve. So....we made a date with friends to make and decorate cookies. The kids have fun and the Mom's and Dad's got to sit back and watch!

Ahh the best part!
too cute...
Decorating time!
Seth had to make sure that EVERY cookie was decorated. So he sat up at the table and finished every little cookie, while the other kids were running around!
The finished product! Santa will have plenty too eat!

Kid's Christmas Party........

Santa showed up for the kids!

Landon has to have a hat on!

Some of the ladies....looking good!
Mom and Dad's Tropical Christmas Party!

Merry Christmas!!!

Merry Christmas!! Here are some pictures of the boys school program. Landon's class dressed up as Rudolph, and Seth's class did the Nativity scene. They both had fun and did great!

Landon was the ONLY one who sang and danced! He had so much fun, it is amazing to watch the boys do these programs!!

My New Niece!!!!!!

Izabella Dawn Beasley was born to Amby and George at 9:43pm on Sunday, November 25th by c-section. 5 lbs, 15 oz and 20 inches long, Bella is healthy and happy. Mom and baby are resting comfortably at North Memorial Medical Center in Robbinsdale, MN. They will be coming home on Wednesday, November 28th.

She is sooooooooooooooooo BEAUTIFUL!!! I can't wait to go home!!!!!

Landon's Boo-Boo....

Well we had a really nice Thanksgiving with friends this year that of course ended with a trip

to the ER. Landon fell on his arm, so now he has a little caste on. But that has not slowed the little bugger down!

Resting with Dad....

Landon is still running around like a little MONKEY, even with a caste on!

Things are starting to pick up again with the Holidays here. Event's, program's, and party's to attend! Ahh I love this time of the year! There is of course a few things missing...FAMILY, FRIENDS and SNOW!!!!!!! Can't wait to get to Minn.!

Another day at the beach....

Baby Crabs
Exploring the "lagoon"

I don't know what I am going to do when we move to MN. The boys tell me they are cold when it drops to 83 degrees here! Wow wait until they have to live in "cold country"! We had another day at the beach with lots and lots of crab hunting. We did find a coconut crab that we named Hermie, but before I could get the camera, the kids let him go!

Pilgrims and Indians........

Well for this year's Thanksgiving program Seth was a pilgrim and Landon was an Indian! The program was a success! It was very appropriate for Landon's K-2 class--All the kids had stagefright and proceeded to run for their parent's--very cute, but of course the video camera's continued to roll and the older kids came out! We love Tender Shepherd Preschool and I am already starting the dread of trying to find a preschool that can even compare back in the states. Ahh I sit here with my fingers crossed!!!

Happy Thanksgiving!

One little Indian Boy, who was not cooperating!

he pouted the whole prgram--it's was so funny!

Holidays just passing by....

Well Halloween is officially over! It was nice going trick or treating with the gang. Last year we were in Hawaii at this time, so we crashed the Air Force Base for some sweets! This year the Mom's followed the kiddo's around with a glass of wine while the Daddy's stayed back and handed out the goods. The boys had a very good holiday--lots of parties, friends, dress-up ....all while Mom and Dad snuck the treats away!! The boys were fascinated with the pumpkins and we had to make sure we lit them every evening. There school had a carnival for the kids and parents so it was fun to watch the boys try and play the little carnival games.

The boys having a stare down with their pumpkin's....

Getting ready for the school party!

Ready for some Trick or Treating!

Seth's K-4 Class

Landon's K-2 Class

Now to get ready for Thanksgiving. I believe we are going to share this Holiday with 4 families! Which I am completely grateful considering I don't have to cook the Turkey! It has truly been a year of THANKS! My Dad is still recovery and taking it easy, but is doing very well! I guess it's that time of the year for me to look back in awe-----this month we have been living here in Guam for 2 years! The time has flown by---I just remember Landon was 7mos. old when we moved here---now he is 2 1/2 yrs old. Seth will be graduating from preschool and off to kindy next fall--wow it makes me feel old!
