B Turns the Despicable 3!

24 January 2015

B is 3!

We were exhausted after this party. After you see all the pictures, you'll see why. Was it worth it? Absolutely! Would I do it again? Yes, but only if my mom makes the cake. I frosted half a cake and wanted to quit! Haha! Luckily Darren and uncle Morey pitched in with the cupcakes and Macho Taco Bar. I think next year when B turns 4, we will all go to Godfather's for pizza! Our England family and friends are great, but I can't wait to get back to the states so B has cousins to party with. Happy Birthday to Great Aunt Susan today, Aunt T tomorrow and Aunt Sarah on Wednesday! I think the best birthdays happen in January! :D

Thanks a "minion" to my mom who sent all the Despicable Me decor! (I have learned from the best!) And of course Pinterest for all the free ideas! ;)

A Day - Or Two -To Play

4 January 2015

So Bradyn and I found another playground we didn't know existed the other day in base housing. This was on the one, maybe two days it was "nice" enough here England to play outside. We had to take advantage and get some vitamin D on these pasty faces of ours. It was the perfect toddler-sized playground. The kind moms don't fit on, even with Bradyn persuading me-" Mommy, come on!" With a strong emphasis on, "Come on!" I gave in a couple times. I just took a lot of pictures, like all moms do. Mostly I just laughed a lot. He's such a ham!

Just like Daddy-tall

Hmm, too tall to be a pilot?

This little boy just didn't want to sit around the house all day. A kid after my own heart! We took a stroll around the neighborhood. He could have kept going, I was a little cold. HAHA!

Happy 2015

3 January 2015

Happy New Year! Here's to a year filled with happiness, good health and prosperity. We are looking forward to what this year has coming our way and can't wait until we move closer to friends and family in May. I will complete one more quarter of teaching while Darren is TDY in Florida and Las Vegas for 8 weeks. Once again the Air Force has great timing!! (sarcasm)

These are some of the pictures we took in the last couple weeks. I can't believe it is our last Christmas and NYE here in England. We have made some amazing friends along the way who will forever be considered family.
