This past week was a blur. Kevin is in Thailand. I had my neighbors 2 boys. That meant 4 boys 5 and under for Carrie and I to manage...it was actually quite a breeze. Only one traumatic injury and that was 15 minutes after the boys got here. A bit of a head bump, but not quite ER worthy.
For mother's day the kids decorated the house with streamers and ballons and in the morning I was presented with a menu for breakfast. They made breakfast and watched Collin so I could have a couch morning. It only took me a few hours to clean it all up later.
Well, I dont really have any great news, but maybe later this week!

Hello from Japan

Today was Friendship day. The base here is was opened to the public. It was predicited that there would be 300,000 people coming through the gates. The Japanese version of the Blue Angels were here and there were vendors and games and the likes.


We ventured out and couldn't believe the overwhelming crowd. We caught a few burgers and then watched a few planes and then it was time to wander around the helicopters and planes to let Collin to scream in delight!




Kyle and Carrie are really loving baseball. Carrie hit a double the last game and actually got to make it home (It seems that usually the outs mount up first). Kyle got the game ball this last game! Collin just loves to watch!





The Grand Prix wooden car race was fun, but we didn't win a single race. It was a multiple elimination tournament, so we raced about 6 times. The kids had fun cheering for their friends once they were out.
