Christmas 2012

We welcomed this break with open arms! We needed some family time. Miah has been super busy and hard at work. So we went to my parents house for a few days. They weren't here for Christmas but they officially moved here on the 28th of December. It is very exciting. 

There was A LOT of this!!

We did a lot of relaxing, just spending family time. We even brought the boys, Rex and Zoro. They loved getting to go outside in the backyard and helping Miah and Papa golf. 

Christmas Eve pajamas. I surprised my favorite two people with matching dinosaur pants I made and white shirts. They loved them. Bells thought she was really cool, having the same pants as Daddy and the fact that they were DINOSAURS!!

Showing off their muscles.

Bells with some fun toy airplanes. She has such an imagination!

We also did a lot of bike riding after Christmas. Papa and Grandma Tiger got her a spiderman bike. Although it came from Santa because they were not here yet. It was pretty cold so we would stay out for a bit, go around the block a few times, go inside for some hot cocoa. Luckily my parents have an awesome neighborhood with multiple parks and lots of kids. She has more friends at their house then ours. 

Miah snapped this shot and I think it is pretty funny. Just proves how goofy us girls are. How we are in our own little worlds. Miah is such a lucky guy, hahaha!

Apparently Grandma Tiger and I are pretty slow, she told her Daddy this multiple times. She would have to stop and wait. She has our competitive drive...

What is it about bum shots in our family? Although I do have to say, they are pretty nice! She was actually telling Miah he had a big bum bum and couldn't fit. She was probably right!

She just adores time with her Daddy. I love just watching those two together. We are quite the 3 amigos. 

I love this picture, not because its awesome but because it is me, my parents and my Uncle Bill. 

He moved here too! So we were able to spend a lot of time with him too. Man, have I missed him and his humor. Bells loved playing with him and he did with her. 

Welcome 2013

"I don't like it here, it is cold. Can we please move back to Hawaii?"

Miah and I....

Love is all we need!

She loves riding horses. Who doesn't? Luckily the park as one!

Wanting to make a heart with Daddy. 

There was also lots of cuddling. She is the best. She will come up multiple times a day and just ask if we can cuddle. I drop everything and cuddle. Those are the best times. 

I hope everybody else had a good holiday season and were able to spend some relaxing time with family.  But I do have to say, it was also nice to get back in the swing of things. The sooner we are done with school, the better. 

Trying To Keep Up

Everybody else was having more kids so we decided to adopt ferrets. Two boys actually and Bells named them Rex (actually T Rex but we shortened it) and Zoro. We got them just about a month ago and love having them around. Bells really enjoys having them. She makes sure to give them loves as soon as she gets up. She even woke me up at 2:30 am to tell me that the boys want to come out and play. They go everywhere with us. We took them to the park and they loved running around and digging. They went with us to Grandma Tiger and Papa's house. My parents love ferrets and had lots of fun with them. My mom even said she would babysit if we needed. They loved going in the backyard where my dad has a putting green and helping Miah golf. Rex is really good at golfing. Miah took a shot, missed and Rex pushed it across with his nose and put it right in the hole. I wish we had it on video!!  Bells loves running around and acting like a "lazy ferret" as she calls it. 

This is Rex, he has a cinnamon colored face and loves our attention. He loves to crawl into places, up pants and thinks Miah is his protector. He will always run to Miah and hide on / behind his foot. It is very funny. He really likes people's attention and will just hangout by you. He loves chasing ping pong balls around the house for hours, seriously! I will post a video, it is very entertaining. 

Bells and I giving Rex some love. 

Rex crawling up Miah's pant leg into his sweatshirt. 

Cute little Zoro. He is the cuddle bug. But he rather be out exploring on his own. He will fall asleep on Bells' lap while she watches some cartoons. He steals all his toys and hides them in corners. It is a fun game, letting him drag all his toys in one corner and then take them out and scatter them around the house. He will play hard and then fall asleep curled up in a corner. 

They will crawl into about anything.

The best thing to watch....them wrestling each other. They just go at it for ever. Then you get involved and they will team up on you. You'd better run for cover. 

Zoro getting some loves from Bells. They really are troopers with Bells dragging them around and shoving them down their slides. But they love her and chase her around the house. 

One of their favorite toys, a rope with a fish on the end.

They are babies and so we are training them right now. The are already potty trained, whew! I don't want to go through potty training again. Rex did like to chew on your toes a bit but we broke him from that. We are working on tricks right now but since they are kits (baby ferrets) they have so much energy, you only spend a few minutes at a time training them. 

We love having them around. Miah was a bit nervous, he didn't know much about them but I was onboard. I had them growing up and loved them. 

We now have three kids, which means we caught up to most of our friends! 

Instead of the crazy cat lady, we might become the crazy ferret family.

5 Years and Counting

It is only Nike in our family so with our Anniversary why would it be anything else? 

"Still Doing It" -Nike

December 22

We made it, we hit the 5 year mark!!

We look back and are so happy with where we are. We are truly blessed with each other and a beautiful daughter. 

One night after watching The Hobbit, I was thinking about how much the type of movies I watch and enjoy have changed. I never minded watching chick flicks as much but nowadays I don't watch them at all. I watch the super hero movies or crazy action movies that always leave me on the edge of my seat. I decided the reason was because those love story movies will never compare to "our love story". I am living the best chick flick of all time. So why would I watch anything else? 

I love my husband to the moon and back, twice as Bells would say. 

Happy Anniversary Miah!!
