Sonja's Birthday

Our little girl is 3 years old now :( Where did the time go? We just had her friend from next door over, and Mama made the cake. The big party is next weekend! See how much she grew in a year!

Of course she loved school!

After we dropped her off, Kris and I went off to have some breakfast, and kills some time. We couldn't go back home just yet.

When we got back to the school to pick her up, she saw us, gave me a big hug, then firmly told both of us, 'I'm not done yet Papa, I can't go home'. Then she ran off.

It was harder for her to leave school, then to leave us =( All weekend she asked if she was going back to school, and finally she went back on Tuesday. She barely said bye =(.

So, yeah, she loves it!

First Day of Pre-School

So, I was supposed to be in Japan last Thursday, but after about 26 hours of traveling, I surprised my girls and came home, just in time for Sonja's first day of pre-school.



Lets just say that the only one not in tears was Sonja.

(Video is about 4 minutes long, don't say I didn't warn ya!)

Mammoth Zuccini!

Yes that is from My garden!

My Dariling little girl

Isn't she cute!

At the zoo.

We love our Zoo. Its tucked up in at the base of Cheyenne Mt. Yes, that Cheyenne Mt. The one with a NORAD inside it. (https://www.cheyennemountain.af.mil/)

We love our zoo because you can feed the giraffes! Also, it has an old Carousel that Sonja just loves to ride.

Sorry for long time no post!

Sorry it's been so long since we have put up a post. Ron has been traveling a lot for work. Also his parents came out to visit.

Anyway, I will try to get the blog up dated asap!

Tell me these two aren't sisters?

So can ya' tell these two are sisters? I love my beautiful girls. I hope they are best friends :)

Sonja's baking experiment

Ron and I the other night were enjoying a rare moment of movie watching just the two of us when we heard Sonja down stairs. Lately she has been getting up with various requests in order to stretch out bed time. So, we watched our movie a few minuets longer, since it was almost done, waiting for her to come up stairs with her newest request. Then we heard cabinet doors opening and closing. I assumed she was getting into the cereal that we keep low just for her. At this time the credits were rolling, so we went down stairs to she what our little angel was up too. Ron went into the living room and I heard "Sonja!" Rushing in I was amazed!
My living room looked like a nightmare bakery. Sonja had opened a brand new 5 pound bag of flour, a half full 5 pound bag of sugar, some powdered sugar, and was almost in the brown sugar when Ron caught her.
Well, we cleaned it up the best we could, and needless to say the carpet cleaning service just left.
This is going to be family legend. Like the time Sonja painted the dog!

Papa & Sophia Sleeping

Like father, like daughter, need I say anymore?

Sonja in the Sprinkler

Sonja just loved the sprinkler. Of course that is after Mama ran through it with her a few times.

This past weekend

So it's the fourth! We'll be sure to take some pics today, but for now, here are some shots from our trip up to Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument. Didn't get to see too much (it was hot) but we did get to see some petrified trees.

Sonja & Sophia

Just a few pictures of Sonja holding and feeding her little sister (very proudly)

Here's a new pic of Sophia gooing and smiling. Sooooooo Cute!

Been Tired

Hello all,

I'll be posting more shots tonight. It's been rough with the no sleep and all.

Getting Old

Well today is my Birthday. Only my family, friends, and my security officer know for sure how old I am, and maybe it will stay that way for a little while.

Anyway, Kris snapped a shot of me and the kids in bed this morning. I can just imagine when they do this in a few years! There will be no room for me!

@ Home

Well the hospital was nice and all, but home is even better! Here are some more pics for everyone to goo over:

Long story short, we missed by 1 cm. Yeah you read right. Sorry nothing we can do for you, go home.

Oh well.

3-5 Time to Go

Well we're out. If this isn't it I'll see you all at work around noon. Wish us luck, hopefully I'll have good news in the morning.
