Lucky 7

Happy anniversary David. It really has been 7 years??? It has been a great 7 years and I wouldn't trade it for anything. I never would have thought being at Krista's house that one night would have changed my life the way it did.


Thank you for giving me a sense of security, a sense of accomplishment, confidence, the three greatest kids I know, providing for us, for never raising your voice, making me laugh, fixing my dinners that I burn(and they turn out so well after you take over),making it so I can still visit my family frequently, knowing when I need a break, working so hard for us, listening to me when I tell you the great deals on the shopping, knowing when I need a fountain diet coke, the calls during the day to say hi, teaching and showing the kids how to treat there mom, all the lessons you daily teach the kids, making me feel so loved so mucb when you are gone, for showing me my worth, for making date night a priority, eating the popcorn I am always popping at night to watch our shows weather you want it or not, for making the yummiest Alfredo sauce, for making it so I can stay home with the kids, for helping me reach the goals that I set, and for always making me laugh.


I love you David hope you will be home soon. These last 7 years have been wonderful. We have gone through alot of separation time thanks to the good Ol military. I wouldn't trade this time and the things that I have learned for anything else. Happy anniversary!!

Good Ol Dawson

The perfect day was happening yesterday. We had some errands to run like get the car washed, get some things at Costco which included a new book. Treated ourselves right to a big diet coke and we headed up to the pool at tripler. Tripler is the army hospital. They have the coolest and most relaxing kiddie pool around. We were there for about 2 1/2 hours. The kids had been playing I was reading my book and soaking up some sun and enjoying watching the kids. Dawson was standing on the ledge of the pool to jump in. His feet came out first and his head hit the edge of the pool. I went over to him and saw blood on the head. I took him to our stuff put a towel on and the blood just kept coming. Talk about knowing how to clear the pool out!

Since we were at the pool the lifeguards came over and took over which was very nice. The next thing I know the fire dept is there, the police man in there, they are calling for an ambulance. Now the ER is just down the hill basically from were we are at. They kept telling me that sine he has a head injury he cant ride in the car because he cant be unattended. Seriously just down the hill form were we were. I could have walked there. Anyway the EMT checked him out and said he didn't have to go in the ambulance. So after everyone asked a million questions to me and Dawson was checked out we headed down to the ER. After three long hours at the ER we walked away with one staple in his head. This is a sight I don't think I will ever forget me and the kids walking into the ER in out we swimsuit cover ups and bright red faces from the sun. It was classic.

All the kids were real troopers. Landon and Brooklyn were great. They were entertaining themselves and each other. Dawson was a champ he was a tough guy. After since we were all so good I told the kids they could pick out any treat they wanted. On the ride home we all enjoyed our treat and I had to wash the day down with another diet coke!

I treid to get a closeup of the staple but that wasnt happening

School Spirit

The other night Brooklyn's school had teacher and staff night at McDonald's. It was a fundraiser. Some of the teachers and the principal were going to be there. All Heard about from Brooklyn how she wanted to go and her teacher was going to be dressed like Ronald McDonald. That was worth going to see for me.

Once we got there Brooklyn was right on the corner of the street was "Rhonda McDonald" a.k.a Ms Tereoka waving the cars in to help out wheeler elementary. Now that is school spirit.

My Dad

My dad is the greatest. He is such a hard worker and no matter how many hours he has worked or how many plane rides he has taken to get from were he was to home he always makes us kids fill like we are number one to him. With my dads work he comes out to Hawaii. How lucky are we??? We usually see him for dinner. A few days ago he was in town so we had a picnic at the beach with him. It was fun the kids love seeing there grandpa. Ever since then when ever the kids see an airplane they say it is grandpas. It was just nice to see my dad and talk to him. Thanks for making time for us dad and the dinner. Me and the kids had a great time. Thanks dad we love you. Come back for business real soon.

grandpa and the kids

When I told the kids we were going to see grandpa Brooklyn said that she had to get her prettiest dress on

no duties today

The other week was just one of those weeks. we were busy with stuff and it seemed like the kids were going to bed late every night waking up early. Things were not running smoothly. So me Landon and Dawson were on our way back from the gym I got a wonderful idea that I would get Brooklyn out of school early and have no cares the rest of the day. It was a much needed break for all. So with the hose, swimsuits, a two dollar ball for each of them. We said who cares to the rest of the day and enjoyed it

Dancing to The Hannah Montana Movie

What is all this for??

Brooklyn's cheer team was having an end of the season party. It was on a Sunday and I didn't want to take them on a Sunday. So I didn't say anything to Brooklyn thinking she will forget it right??? Silly me you tell Brooklyn something and she remembers it for ever. She even told the junior primary that she wasn't coming to church because of her cheer party. I could not let her down. So I called some of her friends and some friends for Landon thinking that the girls could watch a girl movie(Hannah Montana) and the boys could play upstairs something like air hockey or some boy thing. Well they all wanted to watch the movie. When the girls wanted to dance Adam wasn't quiet sure why you would want to dance through a movie. Some boys just don't get it when a girl needs to dance with her friends she needs to dance.

The kids had a fun time. Brooklyn even picked out her party dress. It is fun to see the kids with there friends. They have made some good friends here.

what girl doesn't need a good girlfriend???

Dumpster Diving

To know Dawson is to love Dawson. He has got the cutest personality that does get the best of me sometimes. If he wasn't so stinking cute. He is at a fun age right now were he is putting two or three words together. He has the cutest personality that is starting to show. No matter how much of a mess he makes or what type of monster he is I love him to pieces.


I walked into the kitchen and saw him sitting on the balloon eating a pancake that came straight out of the garbage. GROSS!!

yes that is the same apron he had on earlier in the week he wont take it off

Good ol Dawson
