Can I just say....

I'M FREEZING!!! Ok...so maybe not freezing, but it is really stinkin' cold here today. Right now it is 61 degrees outside. To many of you that may sound oh so warm, but OMG...I was actually shivering when we were outside earlier. I'm talking, my teeth were chattering. I've gotten so used to the hot weather that when I gets down into the 60's I feel like I need to bundle up. Apparently it's not just me either. I was watching the news today and it actually had the word "chilly" shaking around on tonight's forecast :) Only in Hawaii!

What on earth am I going to do when we move back to WA?

Yes...I'm the lamest blogger ever.

I'm awful at keeping up with this blog. Here's what's been going on over the last couple months.

Jon reenlisted! He's not in the Army for 6 more years. We're going to be headed back to WA in April.

Kaitlyn started eating baby food.

Christmas Card time...

He's like a little vampire...look at the fangs on this kid.

CHRISTMAS!!!

Pajama time...

Presents...

these two are for grammy...

New clothes!

sleepy little cheerleader.

I don't have a picture of them on here yet, but guess what...Kaitlyn has teeth!!! She popped one on Christmas Eve, and one on Christmas Day. Those things hurt!

Things have been crazy around here lately. I don't have all my photos uploaded because I've switched cameras. :) I'll post about my new beauty soon and throw up some more updated photos. My Father-in-law is visiting right now as well so it might be a couple days. Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season. Here are a couple randoms of Missy K, she's so funny.

She loves to hang upside down.

Hahaha...stretchy ear.

Please Keep the Mothorn family in your prayers.

Missing our friends...

Cody has been carrying around his little Alabama license plate a lot lately and I realized...I'm lame and didn't post pics from the box that the Wade family sent to us. :) Cody was so excited because it was addressed to him.

Cody loves his Alabama license plate...

and his Halloween card from Layla...

and his Alabama shirt. He really does love it...I don't know what's up with the evil look.

Jon and I love the shotglasses we got for our collection. I think this puts us somewhere around 130.

There were a whole bunch of clothes in there for little miss Kaitlyn too. Most of them are things she'll eventually grow into...but the one thing that does fit now is just so adorable. It's ladybug coat and she loved wearing it. It should still fit when we move back to WA too which will be so fun.

Cody decided he had to try on one of the jackets that she'll grow into. He was all excited that he was wearing Layla's coat :)

We love you and miss you Megan, Thomas, and Layla.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!!!

Yesterday morning started with a trip to Starbucks....mmmmm! It was chilly so we all bundled up a bit (minus our feet....we all wore our slippers).

Cody has been LOVING the hot cocoa lately.

What could possibly make a trip to Starbucks better than drinking a peppermind white mocha twist? Drinking a peppermind white mocha twist and getting a Starbucks winter cup ornament!

:D

Even when the weather is crappy...Hawaii does have some pretty sunsets :)

I like the neighbors snowmen...made for some fun bokeh photo taking :) More Bokeh to come...I'm having fun with it.

The lights are up on our house and the tree is up, but I'll post pics later. For now it's chow time.

End of November...who would've guessed?

Saturday afternoon was BEAUTIFUL! We headed over to Steve's house so Jon could help him work on his boat. I can't wait for them to get it finished so we can go out in it. Cody decided to keep himself entertained by playing in the water with the hose. Arean't you all jealous?

Kaitlyn Loves to just lay outside on a blanket and play...or nap. She loves being outsite, and unlike me, LOVES the feel of grass!

Turkey Day!

I know I'm a bit late on this, but wanted to share anyway.

Thanksgiving preparations started on Wednesday afternoon. Mindy came over to help bake pies. We only got one done, but I'm so proud of us. We made an apple pie from scrach. I did the crust and Mindy did most of the filling. It turned out SOOOOO delicious.

Mindy and I decided we needed photos for evidence that we made it ourselved and didn't buy it. Jon decided to step in and claim the pie himself even though he didn't do anything to help...other than hold K for the last couple minutes :) He's such a goofball...K just wanted to eat it, she didn't care about a photo op.

Done baking...a little messy looking, but oh so good!

Thanksgiving morning started with a bath for Kaitlyn. This was her first bath sitting up in the sink. I usually use the little cradle thing that sits in the sink and she lays down. She loved it this way though. She's getting way too big.

TURKEY!!! I was so proud of myself. I did the turkey and stuffing all by myself...well mostly myself. Jon stuffed the turkey, but that was about it. :) It turned out so good. Brice brought a turkey too. His was really good too. We had a ton of leftovers which is the best. I love eating Thanksgiving leftovers.

The day went so well. It was great to be surrounded by wonderful friends for the holiday. Cody wasn't in a picture taking mood, but here are a few more of little missy. She's growing up way too fast.

It's like crack for kids...

Starbucks hot chocolate. Cody had the kids size hot chocolate and OMG...it was like he was on crack. That kid sucked it down and turned into a little spazz. He kept asking for his coffee and we kept telling him it was just hot chocolate. Think we drink too much Starbucks?

More updated blogs to come...since I'm so bad at keeping up with this thing. I promise I'll be better during the holidays. If I go more than a couple days someone please yell at me to update :D
