Not much new with us. We are just staying busy with our activites. This week is Spring Break for Gabbie. Hope you are all good and you enjoy the pics!

This is one of her mad faces

Gabbie's first soccer game. She's the blue in the middle. They had to wear blue jersey's to cover their orginal jersey's since they had almost the same colors as the other team!

All the way over. Nice view of some of the buildings on base!

The girls crowded room

Sisterly Love

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Happy St. Patrick's Day to everyone! We had a good day! Gabbie went to school and Lulu and I did some shopping. Please forgive the pictures. We are lucky when we can even get one picture. I was on my way out the door to Zumba and while I had been dresses in a cute green out fit, I had changed to my workout clothes. And no - I am not pregnant, I just haven't lost my baby weight!! Happy St. Patty's Day!

It finally worked!

I finally got it to work!! WOO HOO!!! Enjoy the pics!!

Walking along the sea wall!! I wish I had more pictures but my camera battery was dying!

My friend Erin took Lulu down to the water's edge to check it out!! Isn't the water gorgeous?

Frustrating Blogger

I know that some of you think that maybe we fell off the planet...we didn't. It's just hard to find time to blog when you are the single parent. PLUS the nice little blogger hasn't like me in awhile so when I have tried to post things...it wouldn't let me. We are back and I promise (Mom, Dad, Robbie, friends, etc.) to be better about posting...just let the blogger be nicer to me :) I tried to post pictures but after waiting 30 minutes for them to load...they still haven't...I will try again tomorrow!! Promise!

Missing Him

Our Daddy/Husband left this week for the sandbox again!! Please pray for his safety and the safety of his marines! Pray that he will make the right decisions and come home safely and quickly to us! We miss you and love you lots!!

Happy Birthday Gabbie!

I can't believe that Gabbie is nine today! I know it's even harder for Robbie. I keep seeing the little 4 year old that I met when Robbie and I first started dating. It's amazing how much she has grown in that amount of time. I am so proud to be her stepmom!!

18 Month Appointment

Lauren had her 18 month appointment on Tuesday. I can't believe that she is already 18 months. Time flies when you are having fun I guess!!! Here are her stats:

Head Circ - 48 cm 90-95% Percentile

Weight - 24 lbs 4 oz 50 % Percentile

Height - 2ft 9.5 in 90-95% Percentile

Not sure where she got the height from. I'm assuming it's probably some of my mom's side of the family since everyone but her and my grandma are tall. She says a ton of words: Momma, Dada, Gabbie, Top, doggy, meow, kitty, bowl, what's this, out, up, bath, bed, cheese, no, yes, I know that there are a ton more but my brain isn't working right now. When I think of all of them I'll let you know!

Japanese Restaurant - Kitakaisen

Last Thursday, the girls and I went to dinner with my friend Erin. We went to a restaurant that neither of us had been to call Kitakaisen. Now I was nervous about going because you just never know how it is going to be. This restaurant was very traditional in the seating. We sat on the floor at the table but it had a lot of dishes that we recognized such as Gyoza, tepanyaki, yakisoba, and fried rice. Also, if you liked sushi this was great. Lauren and Gabbie couldn't get over eating on the floor although they brought lulu a little chair to sit in. Overall, it was a great experience and a place that we'll have to take Robbie when he gets back.

She was laughing so hard

Gabbie and Erin

Already a model...what am i going to do?


Isn't her little chair cute?

Shurijo Castle

The other week, we went to Shurijo Castle down in Naha. This castle is Very Very old but has been rebuilt (and is still being built) as it has been destroyed numerous times. Anyways, I am definitely going to have to go back because they were having a New Years ceremony (which is big here in Japan) and we didn't get to see much of the Castle.

Happy New Year

Happy New Year everyone! I hope that you have a great New Year's Eve/Day and that the new year brings you everything that you wish for. We miss you and love you all!!
