Happy Easter

Our first holiday in Korea was a success! We headed down to Humphrey's Army base for an Easter egg hunt and pig roast with the Erbs. It was a beautiful day, just a little windy. Ty enjoyed the Easter egg hunt, and of course all the candy! Sunday, we went to church then to the O'Club for brunch. Over all it was a good weekend!

Jack is 3 months!

Crazy how time flies... Jack is already 3 months old!! Here are his 3 month pics! What a cuttie!!!

Our First Adventure....Seoul Zoo

This past Wednesday, the boys and I headed to the Seoul Zoo. We still had a little jet lag, but I thought that getting out in the fresh air would help all of us! It def did, Ty finally slept through the night Wednesday night, and Jack only got up once! Anyway, the Seoul Zoo is about an hour from here. A friend (who I met that day, but talked to on FB multiple times) picked me up, then us and 5 other car loads headed up to the zoo. It is a beautiful zoo. It has all your standard animals, but it also has multiple flower gardens and play grounds. Ty was asking to see the elephants all day, so that was a must us! Even Jack had a great time!!

Jack just chillin, what he does best!

Ty having his first Korean milkshake!! YUMMY!!! It comes frozen, but thaws in a few minutes, then you drink/suck it out of the attached straw.

Ty riding the alligator. He loved all the statue animals as much as the real ones!

Sitting out front of the zoo like a big boy with all the other little kids!

We made it

We finally made it to Korea! On Friday the April 8th, me and the boys made the long 14 hour trip. Thankfully my parents were able to escort me to the gate, so I only had to do the 14 hours, and then make it through immigration and customs alone. It was quite a site though, me pushing a stroller with 2 little ones, a backpack, bag, and carseat!!! I was the last one off the plane, and one of the last to get my luggage, but when we finally made it out, and met CHAD!!! Ty was so funny, he wouldn't stop saying "Daddy" all day!!! Once we arrived, we had to catch a bus to Osan, then drive to our apartment. We landed at 310, and finally made it to our apartment by 630!! Made for a very long day!!! Honestly, the worst part was the drive from base to our apartment, both boys cried the whole time!! Then....jet lag!!! Wow, I didn't realize how aweful this is!! We kept Ty up on the drive from the airport to base and home, but finally put him to bed around 8. He was up at 2am for a few hours, then finally fell back alseep for a few hours. Jack, was awake as well, eating every 3 hours!! It took till Wednesday (after a long day at the zoo), for Ty to start sleeping though the night. He is still grumpy, and adjusting, but at least he is not waking up in the middle of the night. Jack is finally back to waking up once, then going back to sleep till 630 or 7. Jack passed out on his play mat!

Ty napping in his big boy bed, trying to recover from jet lag.

My mom having her last bit of baby time! She already misses us and the craziness we caused!

Playing with the water in the airport.

Walking on the plane. I stopped traffic once I got down the jetway. I had to have an older man hold Jack so I could fold up the stroller, then have him help me carry all my bags onto the plane. As I said, quite a site and experience. Nothing I am going to do anytime soon!!! But... we Made it and are

Ty's Birthday

We were very blessed this year to be able to celebrate Ty's birthday with both our families. We had a birthday party with Chads side of the family Sunday, and with my family, on Ty's actual birthday, Tuesday. It was almost perfect.... just missing one thing, Ty's daddy!!! We are going to have one more party once we get to Korea to celebrate Ty's birthday again (opening presents from me and Chad), and to celebrate Chads birthday! Overall Ty had a great time. I really think he loved all the attention he got! You can see this in some of the pictures!! His favorite presents were a Nemo bath fish, and a Nemo hat my parents found in Key West. Clapping after Ty blew out the candles at Chads parents.

My makeshift birthday cake. All my cake supplies are in storage so this is what I came up with.

Silly guy!!

Smiling

So I tried to post these pictures a while ago, but was unable to upload the pics, so they are a little old. Anyway, here is the litttle man, all smiles!!!

Oh how our lives have changed....

Ty ice skating for the first time.

Jack One month old!!! Wow how time flies!

Ty playing on the ChoCho train! Sucha fun toy, I want to get him one for his bday!

Happy Valentines Day. My sweet baby boys!

So having 2 kids under 2 is a challenge. Anyone who says its not is lying!!! To make things even harder for me, Chad is half way around the world and I have to rely on my mom or Chads mom for help. Not something I enjoy doing. I can't ask them to get up in the middle of the night and rock Jack back to sleep, and I just hate asking them to do anything. One, they both work, and two, he is not their child. Granted, Chad works, but it is also part of being a new dad, getting up in the middle of the night!! Over all things are going well. I have finally (or think I have) figured out Jack, and Ty is adjusting to all the changes as well! And finally the past 3 nights, Jack has slept 6+ straight hours!!! Technically sleeping through the night, but not quite in my book yet! Hopefully soon!

We still don't know when we will be going to Korea, the date changes almost daily. We might go as early as March 25 or 26 (I would be going alone), or April 11 or 13 (my sister would fly over with me), or wait until April 27 (WAY TOO LONG FOR ME!!). I would love to go with Chad folks, but April 27 is still 7 weeks away!!! I can not stay here that long, I am already wanting to leave and be there!!!

Anyway, I have tried to stay busy these past few weeks. Ty went ice skating for the first time, we went to Chads parents for a week, and now are back in BG. Here are some pictures of some of the things we have been up to.

(I promise I will try to keep up better on my blog, it is just hard to find time with 2 little ones. Thankfully Ty goes to the sitter on Mondays and Tuesdays to play, so when Jack sleeps, I get to do things I want to do, aka Blog, photoshop, etc.)
