Rainy Day in Korea

When it 's rainy outside, we bring the fun inside. Dalton loves when Trenton gets on his "Harley" big wheel and rides with him.

Eating at the Blue Opera with daddy

Tons of food to eat at every meal. Learning to eat with chopsticks is very challenging. I am eating shrimp fried rice served with a fried egg on top...SOOO GOOD! Dalton is eating sweet and sour chicken with rice. We aer learning about the Korean culture each outing. In the resturants that we have been in we sat on couches. Love the comfort but hate the mess we leave behind. Trenton immediatly takes off his shoes and socks and dines in comfort.

Play date with our neighbor

On Thursday we had a play date with our neighbors, christina and Andrew, not pictured. The boys had a blast climbing, sliding, running, skateboarding, and eating a picnic lunch.
The parks on base are great. There are two and are located by the pool and housing area. We can walk to both in less than five minutes from a parking lot. They both have picnic areas and even shade if needed. Can't wait to go back!

Watching Farmers Pick Rice

This is what the rice looks like when it's drying. The farmers lay it out on huge tarps and it dries. They will toss it every now and again and it's interesting to watch.
This is the view from the masterbedroom. The yellowish field is rice This is the rice picking machine. This is what is left behind after the rice is picked.

American/Korean Friendship Day

Well, it wasn't what we thought but here are a few pictures of the boys eating in downtown Songtan.

Happy Birthday, Trenton!!

Trenton is very independent, loves exploring, and figuring out how things work, go together, or comes apart. He loves being outside and in any type of water. His favorite foods are chicken and cooked carrots; milk, water, and lemonade to drink. He is going tee tee on the potty more and more each day and gets very excited and says, "I DID IT! I DID IT!" when he is finished. Trenton we just love you to pieces. It's no Martha Stewart, but Trenton didn't care. Right before the candle was lit, the motorcycle fell over and messed up the icing. OH WeLL! Happy 2nd Birthday big guy! We love you so very much.

Bath Time!!

Our master bathtub is HUGE. The boys can practically swim in it. They really enjoy taking their evening bubble baths in it because when the jets come on, the bubbles get "puffy like a cloud."

Air Power Days, Osan AB, Korea

On Oct. 5 we went to Air Power Days on Osan AB. Dalton and Trenton had fun climbing in all the airplanes and shooting the guns.

Who needs a rock wall. I've got ROCKS!!

Life in Korea is tons of fun!

Daddy is a wonderful thing!!!

What a wonderful site! Even with a little jet lag, Daddy is still great!

A few milestones on the plane and after arriving to Korea

In Dalton's backpack were several writing tools. During the flight he picked up his pen and a book the flight attendants gave him and said, "Watch mom. I can write my name." To my surprise, he wrote his name, without any assistance from me. I got tears in my eyes. Dalton has a new spirit in Korea. Not only has he been sleeping in his own room, in his own bed since we arrived, he has started dressing himself. He dressed himself before, I assisted in picking out two outfits. This morning I was moving a little slow and Dalton came down stairs dressed. He had gotten shorts out of his drawer, socks off the floor, a shirt out of his closet and gotten dressed. He was so proud of himself. It's a good thing we are staying home today... :-)

One plane ride down...

We're geared up and ready to fly. Both boys had backpacks full of fun and interesting things to keep them occupied on the flight. Trenton loves playing with cars... Both boys were asleep before we pulled out of the gate. Our flight was fantastic. The boys were amazing but I don't want to do it again any time soon.
