Tatum's Blessing 4-20-08

Tatum's blessing went very well.  We had it at our house with a few friends.  Tatum looked beautiful in the blessing dress her Aunt Sarah made for her.  She was just like a little princess.  We really missed being able to share this time with family, but we are very thankful for the wonderful friends we've made out here.

Tatum's silly faces and crazy hair 7 wks old

Tatum makes the silliest faces all the time.  She is too much fun.  She has some pretty crazy hair too, but it's really soft and fluffy so we love it.

Changing all the time

I cannot believe how fast they change.  I definitely believe that you try to get your first one to grow up too fast and you try to slow your next one down (because now you know how fast they really grow and you want them to stay a baby just a little longer)

Lil' Dragon Update

Like Father like Son.  Tayson is doing a really good job in Tae Kwon Do. He is now an Orange belt.

Awe, how cute!

Not bad for a 4 year old Munchkin

Tatum Kaiya "Birth" day, Feb 28, 2008

Here I am!!!!! all 8 lbs. 4 oz. and 19 inches of me

Dr. Dad taking me out of the oven.

I don't know how long the obedience will last but it looks good so far.

How come he's the one sleepin'

Tayson slipped right into his new role as the Big Brother without a hitch.

I think he'll do just fine.

After we got her Home, we (and she) weren't sure of how well she would like it. 

Later it seemed, this place will suit me just fine.

Gettin' to know my Daddy

Tag, I'm it!

I have been tagged by my friend Brynn to tell you about my Hubby so here you go:

What is your husbands full name? Jay William Barney

How long have you been married? 7 1/2 years 

Who eats more sweets? I think I prefer sweets more than he does but we trade off who eats more. 

Who said I love you first? He did.  Funny story you'll have to ask me about some time.

How old is he? 26 (27 in June)

Who is taller? He is.

Who is smarter?  He would definitely say he is because of my blond "Kara" moments, but this is up for debate at least I'm debating it.

Who can sing better? I really don't know.  Jay has a really great voice but doesn't like to share it as much as I do mine.  (I think I might share mine more than people want)

Who does the laundry? I do!

Who pays the bills? Me.  I try to let him know what's going on just in case I die.  

Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? Me.  A couple of times Jay tried the ol' switcheroo and I pretty much had a mental breakdown like it was the most cruel thing he'd ever done.  He just did it for the reaction and he definitely got it.  

Who mows the lawn? Mostly Jay, but I do it once in a while.

Who cooks dinner? Me.  I think Jay is secretly better than I am though because he knows a lot more about cooking than I do, but I'm learning.

Who drives? He does, which is great.  I just feel like I'm being judged the whole time if I do (because I'm not the greatest driver).  Lately it's been hard though because I keep getting car sick when he drives (the whole prego thing)

Who kissed who first? Very mutual.  We even discussed the moment before it happened.  We still laugh about how weird that was.  

Who asked who out? Jay asked me.  He asked me to a dance and I was sooooooo thrilled.  

Who has more siblings? he does by 2.

Who wears the pants?  I think we both think we do, so it works out.

I sure do love my Great, Wonderful, Sexy Hubby!

I tag Colette, Maaret, Kelly, Tiffany, Ashly, and Becky

Eisa Dancing

On January 22nd, Tayson and I went on a little Okinawa tour that the base was giving and we really enjoyed all the fun sights.  We went to a visitor's center where they did a very popular dance, Eisa dancing.  When we got here, back in August, we saw a lot of Eisa dancing because that is the month they celebrate it.  We thought we'd like to share it with you since it is very common here.
