Little Boys

This is for Granny. I'm sorry it's not very good quality, Peter took it with my phone. But...no one else seems to be able to post for some reason...

Cute Boys

The boys can be so cute and sweet at times. But lately not so much...I just have to keep looking at pictures like this one to remind me that they can be so sweet!

Hello from Japan3

Spencer just left and we have been missing him ever since the moment the bus took him.
While he was with us, we went on a trip to visit boys' great grandmas and grandpas tombs.

In front of grandma's side's family tombs

I couldn't help wondering how my grandparents are feeling about their great grandchildren's presence in their house. That would be their wildest dream.

Boys loved to go for a walk with grandpa. Grandpa was so good at catching bugs by hands, they followed him to get next prey as you can see.

Wow, I can't believe what a handsome family I have!

We stayed at hotel and they had matching Yukatas for us. Can you tell Kenta's excitement?

We went to boys granpa side family tombs on second day. We also got to play on the beach.

Since Taiki is the oldest boy in all his cousins here, his little cousins loved playing with him!

He is such a crown!

Hello from Japan 2

Hello, everyone! We are busy having a lot of fun almost everyday.
We love having our daddy with us here.
Here are some of the fun we had since daddy got here.


We went to this huge aquarium in Osaka.
Here is our lovely Kazuto. He is getting very good at having his opinion heard lately.












This one sea otter somehow liked Kazuto, so he swam to him and lied down right next to the glass window acting like he wanted Kazu to rub his feet.

So many breath-taking views and boys just loved to sit and watch fish going by. We got to see two huge whale shirks!

We got to even touch shirks and rays.

We have also gone on a car trip to visit both sides of our family tombs.

More to come later...

New Born Pics

We got Jack's newborn pictures back and I just love them! Of course this was almost 5 weeks ago but he's still pretty cute! He was awake for just about the whole thing and was so good!This is him just a few days ago. One of his very first smiles! He's changed so much in just a few short weeks! It makes me kinda sad...

Sleepy Alexander

For some strange reason Alex refuses to go to sleep for his nap in his bed. He fights it day in and day out until I give in. Then, I'll call him for something and when he doesn't answer I go looking for him and I have been finding him in the most unusal places lately. The first in on my stairs between my kitchen and family room.
The second is on my couch in the front room while he was snacking on ceral he kyped from my pantry.
The third...No joke, was in the top of his closet. He had climbed up there for something I'm sure.
When Asher told us where he was, Jon came and took him down. When your asleep and you fall, it wakes you up in a panic and that is the picture here. He was terrified of falling. It took me 45 min. of laying with him in his own bed for him to finally stop crying and fall back asleep. The other day, I found him asleep in his chair eating dinner. Why can't he just fall asleep in bed at nap time. Wouldn't that be so much easier. However, I love the photos I got from it.


So, just an update, we are so sad to see the Andrew and Shannon Vanderpool family move out of state but are hard set on staying put. Too hot down there. But we are leaving on Thurday for a month long vacation to visit friends and family in Washington and Oregon. See you in a month unless something changes.
