The Paladins...

Here some pics of the Paladins. I like the way Stew is trying to look tough. I also love this picture of Skoeb. He is running between two Paladins. I think it is awesome how his face and foot are in focus but the rest of him is out of focus.

Motor Pool Mayhem

Here are the boys being carried by our friend Mat, who is one of the mechanics in Joe's unit. Then he handed them off to Joe. Skoebie had to show me his hands were "Yuckie" I think he thought he could be a mecanic too. Finally what happend when you let two little guys loose in they motor pool, they find a water source.

In the Motor Pool

Stew and Skoebie are obsessed with Army vehicles. In the words of Skoebie, "Mama, Mama, Big Truck!" They were pretty excited that they were able to get up in this Humvee and pretend to drive. Then Stew wanted me to take his picture looking out the back window... Goof ball!

Papa's Boys

Papa loves his boys and the Boys love Papa.

Sad Day

Ok, so I mentioned that Stew bravely waved bye to the truck with our stuff on it. Here is a picture of the truck all loaded down. Then after we walked away Stew couldn't be brave much longer. He broke down. He cried and cried. Joe and I had to talk to him about how everything was going to meet us at our new house. He then told us he was ready to get on the plane. He wanted the plane now. Thursday we went to the library and I showed him the globe and again explained where we were, where our new house would be, where Gram-mama and Gramps lived and where Grammie and Pa lived. He seemed to understand better. He kept waving at the globe saying "Hi Grammie, Hi Pa, Hi Gramps, Hi Grand-mama, I see you soon." I think the globe helped. He seemed to perk up and feel better. Wednesday when we went over to Tiffany and Jeff's house for lunch Kyle, Skoebie and Stew decided to pull up some chairs and watch Cars. They were so funny all sitting there with their legs crossed just the same, until I got the camera out of course.

Smile Caught on Camera AGAIN!

Yes folks can you believe it? Twice in one year! I have caught Joe smiling on camera!! I love it! He has such a handsome smile. Look we have Smiling with Stew, Grinning with Stew, and Smiling with Skoebie. I am in awe. I feel like I caught the Loch Ness Monster or Bigfoot on camera. I am just thankful for my wonderful hubby's smile.

The Big Move

As every Military family must endure throughout their brave career... the movers came and packed up our stuff. This past Tuesday we had three nice Korean men come and pack up just about everything we had here in Korea to send it to Seattle. It went quite smoothly. They loaded up our piano, our family of bicycles, our clothes, and everything else we had collected while here. Stew got pretty upset when the movers put his bike on the truck. As you can see in the first picture above he is trying to convince the driver to leave his bike. I also had to include this cute picture of Skoeben watching the movers in his diaper. Then when they were all done Stew and Papa got to bravely wave good bye to all our belongings (that we had here). Of course there will still be a pick up in Idaho for all of that stuff too. Thank goodness we won't be there for that one. Thank you in advance to the Idaho crew who will be doing the job for us.

E.T.

I found Skoeb in this "E.T.esque" position the day before the movers came. He was just as happy as could be sitting amoung the stuffed animals playing. He loves the camera too. He has figured out to smile and say "Cheese". He also thinks he needs to take your picture after you take his.

American restaurants

When Joe and I were in Seoul last weekend I had to get some pictures of the Hard Rock Cafe, Quiznos sub and Cold Stone Creamery. These pictures could have almost have been taken in the States. The Hard Rock Cafe is actually underground. The gift shop is the only thing above.

Sweet Stew

The other night Joe told Stew to take off his shoes and put them by his. After the boys were in bed Joe walked past where the shoes were and this is what he saw. We thought it was cute.
