Chad home & We Moved!

2 weeks ago, life got a little bit better!!! Chad finally came home from Alaska and we moved! We are so happy to have him home. He was only gone for 7 weeks, but it seemed like forever. It literally rained 90% of the time he was gone and Jack wasn't sleeping well the first few weeks. Since he flew a jet home, he was delayed a few days, but ended up only coming home 2 days late, just in time for our move to Osan AFB!!! He came home Thursday afternoon, and we moved Friday! Talk about good timing!

Jack & Ty sporting their new ear phones. A fantastic purchase, since we are on the flight line a few time a month for fini flights!!! I leave them in my car so we always have them! Ty loves them and wore them the entire first day we had them, even through the market while we were shopping!! haha

Moving day went pretty well. The movers didn't show up until 1pm, so we had all morning to hand out with Chad. I had a friend watch the boys, so we headed over there for lunch and to lay the boys down for their naps. The crazy thing is that we only moved 5 miles and we had the most stuff broken or lost!! They broke our highchair (which he is fixing now), lost some wheels to a rolling cart, and lost a tote full of my PBKids bedding and a few other things. I am boiling MAD that they lost that! The movers are saying they delivered everything, but I KNOW it is not here. Chad is going to call him again tomorrow to see what he is going to do, and if he is not willing to pay for the items lost, we will go to TMO or USAA to file a lost goods report! Thankfully our household goods are not here yet, so I don't need the bedding right now, but it will be in a few weeks, so we need to get this fixed ASAP! Oh the joys of moving!!

On the Move

So it is official, Jack is MOVING! He has been rolling/ scooting for about a month now, but in the past few days he figured out how to get from point A to point B. He is not quite crawling, I would call it more of a "slinky move". Actually Chad came up with that term, but that's what he looks like. I am sure he will be actually crawling in a week or so, but he is moving, enough to where I can't take my eye off him now!!! Time to Baby Proof AGAIN!

July

Ty enjoying his time bowling. This is a place we visit frequently. They have kids bowling lanes and a play area, and cheep good food!!!

So Chad has officially been gone a month at Red Flag, Alaska. It has gone fast, but I am ready for it to be over!! It is much harder taking care of 2 little ones. Things always take longer and are just exhausting!! The worst part is that it is Mosoon season. It rained everyday for almost 20+ days, and during that time we had over 30 inch of rain! Seriously, I don't know where it all goes!!! And it is not like Florida, where the sun shines one minute, and it pours the next. No, it jsut RAINS ALL DAY!!! My best purchase before leaving the states was def my rain boots!!! On the few days it has not rained, we headed down to Splish & Splash (a local waterpark at Humphrys Army base, 20 min drive), Everland (like Disney, but in Korea), and the zoo (our favorite place). Hopefully these next few weeks go fast. We are moving on base Aug 12!!! I am sooo excited! Hopefully our household goods get here sooner than later, and that Chad actually makes it home for the move. He flies a jet home from AK on Aug 5, and I am praying he is in one of the few jets that won't break!!! If not, then I am on my own, but at this point, I don't mind. I am just ready to be on base!!! Here are a few pics of us keeping busy this past month!! Can you believe Jack is 6 months old!!! Crazy how time FLIES!!

Jack sitting like a BIG BOY!!! He is such a happy little guy, the same as Ty was. The only difference between the two is that Jack is thinner (doesn't have those crazy cheeks), and doesn't sleep quite as well as Ty. Other than that, they are both happy go Lucky Boys!! I just LOVE them to death!!

At the Fourth of July event of base, Ty and Jack wearing their 4th shirts I made them with my new sewing machine!!!

Ty playing in the beach, Yeonpo beach. Our first beach experience in Korea. It was kinda dirty, and we prob won't go back to this beach, but we will def be going back to the beach here. It is only about 1.5 hour drive, so totally within driving distance for a day trip! Ty loves and, as I know Jack will too!!!

A night out without kids!!! I finally made it out on the town in Songtan, the area right outside the Osan gate. Here we are taking "kettle" shots. They taste like juice, I totally could have drank the whole thing, but had to drive home (another bonus about living on base, no driving!!! or driving babysitters home!!). I had a fun time and will hopefully get to do it again sometime soon!!!

Update...

So I have been very bad about keeping up with my blog. Things have just been CRAZY here!!! Chad leaves for Red Flag (to Alaska) in 2 weeks, so once that happens, I will have the evening to do all the "fun" things I like to do, aka... blog, picaboo, photoshop, and my newest hobby.. embroidery!!! I have lots of "to do's" while he is gone, and prob won't get half of them done! haha Anyway, here is a quick update.

Jack aka, Jack Jack or Jack Willie, is finally sleeping better. We had to let him "cry it out" about a week ago. He is finally not getting up a gazillion times (when the binky fell out), back to the normal once. Once we are in this habit for a while, I will nix this feeding and he will hopefully sleep 12ish hours! It is a work in progress. He is rolling over both ways, not regularly, but enough. We started rice cereal, and I honestly think he LOVES it! He eats much better than Ty did at this age, and cries when it is all gone. We might start veggies sooner than I thought. O well, just another thing to do at dinner time... no biggie! haha

Ty is great! He has starting going to the CDC once or twice a week from 830-1130. It gives me a break from 2 kids, and Ty the opportunity to play with little ones without me being around! He seems to enjoy it. It is $3 an hour and they even feed him lunch!! LOVE THIS!!! He loves movies, especially Ice Age 1, 2 & 3.

Chad is great as well. He is almost done with the FAC upgrade, actually his check ride is tomorrow. Then off to Alaska for 6 weeks. I'm sure he will enjoy the break, but also miss us a TON!

I am keeping busy. We went to the flower market a few weeks ago (LOVE that place),and Dongdemun (a HUGE, I mean CRAZY HUGE) fabric/notions/ribbon/beads/button/etc. place today. I took pictures but it does not do it justice (will post those later). I wish the states had places like these. They are all whole sale markets, so stores come to them, have things made, then go sell them. But anyone can go, not just ppl who have stores and sell goods. I just LOVE it, and now that I have been once, I want to go back with a "plan" and buy lots of stuff!! If you go without a plan, you are so overwhelmed you won't buy anything!

Ok, so that is the basic update. I will post pics later!

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!
