Family Journal: Week 9: Feb.26th- Mar.4th
Saturday, February 26th: Today we went out and bought the boys' baseball gloves and pants. They were very excited to pick out their new gloves. We had lunch and then Carson had baseball practice. Josh took him. He did a great job. They practiced for over an hour and a half in the freezing cold. Carson was so cold when he got home. He had fun at practice despite the freezing temps.
Sunday, February 27th: Today was rainy. We spent the day relaxing and looking at Japan info on the internet. The kids spent the day playing the Wii, playing with their Legos, and playing Barbies. It was a very lazy day. I think we are just in shock about this whole Japan thing. It almost doesn't seem real.
Monday, February 28th: Today Josh went to work early to get started on our big move to Japan. I think he was overwhelmed by all the paperwork involved. There is so much information. First up, the kids and I have to be medically cleared to go to Japan. So, today I made 4 dentist appointments and 5 doctors appointments, all the be done within the next 8 days. I still can't believe we will be going to Japan. I think I'm still in shock!!
Tuesday, March 1st: Today AJ came over early. He is getting so big! After school we rushed to get homework done. Then we ate a quick dinner and headed to baseball practice. Both Carson and Cooper had practice. Luckily, it was at the same time and at the same park. Josh watched Carson and I watched Cooper. Both boys did great but they were tired after practice. We got home at 6:30.
Wednesday, March 2nd: Today I had my doctor appointment. I only had to have my blood pressure checked, perfect. I got my paperwork filled out- finally, after much back and forth to different places in the clinic. Carson had early release today so we had the whole afternoon to hang out. We played outside for awhile, however the mosquitos were horrible. Josh had to work late so it was a low-key evening.
Thursday, March 3rd: Today AJ came over early. Josh had to go into work early. Cooper had a great day celebrating Dr. Suess's birthday. Carson had early release again, so he was home at 1:20. The boys finished up their homework packets and played Lego's. They also spent a long time playing with their stuffed Mario & Luigi.
Friday, March 4th: Today the boys had their school picture. The school had to wear red and they all had their picture taken in the courtyard, the entire school. They also took sibling pictures. The boys said the pictures are for the yearbook, but I am hoping we have a chance to buy one. Carson had early release again today so he was home by 1:20. We had pizza and ran into the store to pick out a treat, M&M cookies. The kids watched "Flight of the Navigator" and then went to bed. Josh was able to get off work early so we were able to hang out together.

Family Journal: Week 8: Feb.19th-Feb.25th
Saturday, February 19th: Today we had Cooper's birthday party. Cooper picked a pirate theme. I made yummy oreo cupcakes and a chocolate cake. Cooper had a few friends over. They played Legos and had a great time. It was a really fun birthday party! After the party we had dinner and the kids watched "Alpha & Omega", Cooper's choice. Cooper had a great 2 day birthday celebration!
Sunday, February 20th: Today we over slept and didn't go to Church. We spent the day hanging out. Cooper played with all his new Legos. Parker played with Cooper's new Transformers. Emma played Barbies and Carson played the Wii. It was a nice, relaxing Sunday.
Monday, February 21st: Today the kids didn't have school and Josh was off because of President's Day. Parker's speech was canceled. The kids played all day, colored, played with Legos, and played the Wii. AJ came over for about 4 hours. It was a nice relaxing day.
Tuesday, February 22nd: Today AJ came over early. Parker had fun trying to get him to crawl. However, AJ had a pretty bad cough and cold. Daniel picked him up a little early. The kids had fun playing barbies today, all 4 of them. We had dinner and then I had a Team Parent meeting to go to. Oh my, there is a lot involved- fundraiser, parade float, snack bar schedule, etc. It should be an exciting baseball season.
Wednesday, February 23rd: Today Carson and Cooper had their first baseball practice. Cooper's was at 5 and Carson's was at 5:30. I took Cooper and Parker, Josh took Carson and Emma. Cooper's practice was half team meeting and half practice. I am the Team Mom for his team so I had a lot to go over with the parents. Cooper had a great time running around and throwing the ball. Carson's practice was just a team meeting. His coach is really nice and he knows one boy on his team. It is going to be a very busy spring with baseball x 2.
Thursday, February 24th: Today was rainy, windy and stormy. The kids had boring days at school because they didn't get to have recess. After school Cooper played with his Legos. Both boys finished up their homework packets. It was a very uneventful day.
Friday, February 25th: Today is was very stormy in the morning and very cold this afternoon. The kids really bundled up for school, which only happens a few times a year. After school the boys picked their rooms up a little and then played Legos until Josh got home with pizza. We had dinner and then went out to run a few errands. I just happened to check our email around 4:30 and saw the email about our new assignment. We were shocked!! We didn't know where it was to, so Josh had to go out to work to find out. We are going to Kadena AFB, Okinawa, Japan in June. We are in shock and speechless.

Family Journal: Week 7: Feb.12th-Feb.18th
Saturday, February 12th: Today we got up early for Magic Morning hours. We got to Disneyland at 8:00. We went on a ton of rides before 9:30, including the Matterhorn which Parker even went on. We had an amazing lunch at the Blue Bayou, all 16 of us. We went on many more rides. We had to fit in as much as we could since it was our last day. My Aunt Stacy and Mom treated Emma to a makeover at the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique. She looked like an angel. She was beautiful and she just loved the whole experience. We were all sad this was our last day but we fit in so much today. Disneyland truly is the Happiest Place on Earth!!
Sunday, February 13th: Today we woke up around 8:00. We packed everything up and said our good-byes to Grandma and Grandpa. We left around 9:45 and made it home by 4:30. It was a fast trip home. It actually went by really fast. The kids were exhausted so they all took great naps in the car. We had such an amazing Disneyland trip. We can't wait to go again next year!
Monday, February 14th: Today was Valentine's Day. Josh was so nice. He got up with the boys, got them dressed and fed and all ready for school. I never get to sleep in. It was amazing, better than any present. I woke up just before he took them to school to give them kisses. I woke up to a dozen red roses, coffee and breakfast. It was a wonderful Valentine's Day morning. Parker had his first day of Speech. He did so great. He was trying so hard to do whatever Alba asked of him. I was so proud of him. The kids had good days at school telling everyone about Disneyland. Luckily it was an early release day, so Carson got out at 1. We all needed the extra rest. Josh was able to get off work a little early so we could hang out tonight.
Tuesday, February 15th: Today AJ came over a little later. Cooper had a great day at school. After lunch we went to the school to watch Carson's play. The 1st graders have been practicing since the beginning of January. The play was "Friendly Neighborhood Helpers". Carson was in the garbage truck driver group. They sang a song which was really cute. Carson did a great job! Josh wasn't able to make it unfortunately. It was a little crazy with Cooper, Emma, Parker and AJ. Today Josh tested for his next rank, Tech. He won't find out how he did until June.
Wednesday, February 16th: Today Cooper celebrated his birthday at school. He took cupcakes and they sang Happy Birthday to him. He got to wear a special birthday crown all day. Cam didn't go to school today, so we picked Carson up. 3 trips to that school a day is a little much, back and forth, back and forth. When we picked Carson up it was pouring. We were soaked! Josh worked late so tonight the kids and I had movie night. We watched Shrek 4 and had popcorn.
Thursday, February 17th: Today the boys didn't have school. AJ came over early. It was a house full today with all 5 kids here all day. The kids played on the computer alot today. The Wii didn't even get turned on. The boys played Barbies with Emma for awhile. It was very rainy and stormy, so no outside time at all.
Friday, February 18th: Today Cooper turned 6 years old. The boys didn't have school again today and Josh had to go into work at 12. So he took Cooper out to breakfast. Of course he picked donuts. He had his favorite jelly donuts from The Pink Box. After breakfast he played on the computer for awhile. He picked Burger King for lunch. Josh was able to get off work early and was home by 4:30. We all got ready and went to dinner at Claim Jumper to celebrate his birthday. The kids loved this restaurant. They got so much food. They really loved the build your own sundae. We got home and the boys played Legos for a little bit before bed. I can't believe Cooper is 6 already!
