I'm so gald when DADDY comes home.....

It was so great to have Spencer return home. I missed him so much. It was neat for me to realize that we have really become a great team in raising our family. Having a family is a lot of work but so worth it when you have someone to share it with. It's nice to have my best friend with me to help me along the way.
The kids and I decided we needed to do something to help our super dad feel special upon arriving home. We had so much fun making a candy poster and surprising him. :-)
Spencer brought back the girls these pretty dresses and Logan some cool t-shirts...I can't believe I don't have any pictures of Logan wearing them.

Addy was so excited! She loved her dress and her hair clip. We couldn't even wait to do our hair. :-)


Cheese ball!
She loved showing off her new dress. Spencer thanks for making us all feel so special and appreciated. We love you Spence and I am so happy to have you back.

...Way out where the dandelions grow....

This year is Logan's second year playing tee-ball. A few things have changed.... he has a cool jersey, and his team actually plays games against other teams.
Logan is getting so good at scooping up those ground balls and has a pretty good arm.
At yesterday's game, one of the dads hooked the team up with black paint to keep the glare down.
What a handsome kid!
Logan plays tee-ball just like he does most other things... whilst imagining he is doing something else:) What a space cadet... like father... like grandfather........
But when it comes to smacking that ball, he does it blindfolded.
Gee.... what cool holes on the helmet.....
Yes Bern, he is a Yankee.... not quite sure what the ' is all about.
By the end of the third inning, Logan was pretty tired. According to his awesome coach, he took the hardest hit of the entire game. Last inning, he was on the pitcher's mound and took one right to the chest.... and caught it, threw it to first before the runner got there! What a stud. Maybe he will be good at baseball like Grandpa Allen.
Some of the sights near the field... must be what it feels like to play in prison.
The blossoms are all gone but the bank tree leaves are still beautiful to me.
Almost feels like America.

Happy 30th Birthday to ME!

It has been a great 3o years and I look forward to 30 more!
Logan thanks for loving me even when I am not perfect!
Addy thanks for being you!
Silly faces, they crack me up.


These scooters are the best ever.
We took a walk to Tom n Toms coffee for a pretzel!
Bought vitamin yogurts from the lady pushing her cart.
The kids loved watching our pretzels being made. The employees loved practicing English.
On the way home Logan biffed it and hurt is head.

Sadie all ready for bed. Such a sweetheart.
On my birthday with Spencer away...Logan and Addy took good care of me. Logan woke me up at 5:30am saying "Mom I woke up Addy so she didn't miss out on your Birthday...together they said Happy Birthday Mommy!" It was so sweet. Then he said "Mom, where are all your decorations?" He then went and found our Happy Birthday sign...he is so thoughtful. Then a little later he said "Where is your birthday cake? You can't have a birthday without a cake." I told him my sweet friend Liz made cupcakes...he said when Dad gets home they will make me a cake. Then it was "I can't go to school on your birthday I need to stay home and celebrate with you." So that is what we did. I made us pancakes and started our day all before 6:30am! Thanks to great family and friends for phone calls, Skype video calls, face book messages and all to make it a fun day.
**I'm a lucky girl because I will get to celebrate 3 times. On my Korea 29th, America 29th, and when my best friend and hubby comes home! **

Sadie misses her Daddy!


I miss my daddy!
Love you Spencer.

Addy & Mommy outdoor fun

I love SPRING! Addysen and I have had fun going on walks and checking out the spring flowers.
I live in a pretty place.
Addy enjoying her doughnut from Paris Baguette.
Logan and Addy love collecting these "baby beads" --pellets.

Daddy check out my fingernails. --Addy was showing them off just for you.

These flowers are so pretty. I have a million pictures of Addy doing all her different faces and poses.
This is Addy and Logan's hill they love to go down. It is right in front of Paris Baguette where we enjoy getting french bread.
Yes ,she is balancing just like her cousin Brody does. All the Koreans stop and stare! They are shocked every time they see her. We also go down a hill in front of the police station. The other day Addy was flying down it and at the end it is a street. About 3 or 4 policemen were watching her and then started running after her because they didn't think she was going to stop. I was laughing so hard...they probably thought I was a terrible mom! They all laughed too when she stopped before they could get to her.

I took a couple pictures of places in Korea we enjoy walking to and getting treats. At the 7 eleven the kids love getting banana milk.
She loves flowers and picks one a day!

Thumbs up for sure! We love this BBQ place it sells the best BBQ Chicken ever! It is fried in olive oil and it has a little bit of a kick to it!

Smiling Sadie

Our little photo shoot that didn't go so well. It was dark and not put together right...but the kids had fun. They love having a little baby around too.


Sadie is smiling and cooing more everyday. She had this bit of face acne/heat rash from rubbing on my shirt. It's gone now so that is good. I will have to get some new pictures of her.
Smiling, and happy.
I love her so much.
