Sausage head...

So I guess Trenton was done eating and decided to put not only his plate on his head,

but the sausage on top of the plate...

Happy 2009

Happy New Year! What a fun night. Dave, the boys, and I went to Hallason towers for New Year's Eve festivities. The boys, three other kiddos and two sitters were in one apartment while Dave, myself, and many friends were up two flights in another apartment. The food was great, drinks were poured, everyone was doing the cupid shuffle, listening to wonderful music, etc...I had friends in the adjacent apartment, Jirason having a party so I said to Dave, "Let's go over so I can wish everyone a happy new year and give Kim her birthday present. So we left about 11:15, with plenty of time to get back for the New Year. We were there less than 10 minutes and several people from the party we just left arrived. YAY! Let's party...right. All of a sudden one person says, "Well the fire alarm is going off so we all had to evacuate!" "oh my gosh!" I can't tell you what was going on in my head. My babies are in that building and I am here. I run to find Dave, fill him in and get on the elevator to go find our kids. Luckily one person on the elevator, MAJ Jenkins, whose son was watching our babies said, "Don't worry. My sweet baby brought your kids over and they are in the lobby" I ran off the elevator and we frantically are looking for our boys. There were people everywhere, who came to Jirason lobby to get out of the frigid cold. As soon as I saw my boys, I just hugged them so tight and was so thankful they were there. Others from Hallason Tower were evacuated to the hospital lobby to stay warm. I was so proud of the sitters. In the process of evacuating, they couldn't find Trenton's coat and literally it was 19 outside. We slowly made our way to the 8Th floor to the Super Ocho party to welcome in the new year. What a way to welcome in the new year, in the lobby of Jirason. It was actually really neat because we were with all of our friends that live on base. I treasure each of you. The building was cleared right after midnight and we all made our way back to Hallason, located Trenton's Coat, headed back up to the 7Th floor, welcome in the year again with our Hallason friends, and called it a night. Happy New Year everyone! I will never forget this night.

Dalton and Trenton exchanging gifts.

Here are the boys exchanging gifts. This was just to sweet. Dalton told Trenton as soon as the switched, "You are going to love what I got you."

Trenton gave Dalton some construction and Indian guy set and Dalton gave Trenton a hulk mask. They were both very happy.

Merry Christmas from Dalton and Trenton

We had a wonderfully quiet Christmas at home in Korea. Here are several photos of the boys together. We began by placing baby Jesus in the manger and thanked God for his wonderful gift. Then the boys opened gifts. The really took their time opening each gift, played for a while and then were ready to move on. We was a wonderful day. We had steak and potoates for dinner and it was just such a joyous occsaion.

Trenton's Christmas photos

Trenton received a Diego Wii game and a police helmet. He loved both things.

" a magnifying glass...just what I wanted!"

Trenton was fun to watch this year, as he was really into it.

I love my books and lacing game.

Trenton left with a marker...

Actually I was in the kitchen with him when he was drawing a picture for his Grammy, but he finished and wanted to be a tiger. I think he did a fine job drawing stripes. Ha Ha...

Christmas crafts with Trenton

I must admit that we haven't done a lot of crafts with Trenton and it shows. He wasn't really interested in doing these crafts so i took over. He enjoyed making the gingerbread man, but didn't enjoy coloring the Santa puppet.

Making some Christmas crafts-Dalton

I had fun making a few Christmas crafts with Dalton last weekend.

He is very creative and loves to get his hands dirty.

Tagged!

I was tagged by my fellow bloggers in Korea to go to the fourth folder in my pictures file, and the look at the fourth photo and blog about it. So here goes. This was last year at Everland's sledding adventure. We had so much fun that day. Dalton was so brave. He went down by himself several times and then was told he wasn't old enough...GEEZ!! We had a wonderful day and can't wait to go sledding again this year. Even though the pic is not close, that is us at the top on the left.

The Gator Boys'!!

GO GATORS!!!!
