January 2016

Well this was clearly a while ago, and I don't really have any notes to intro at the beginning.  But Jim left this month for the start of a 3-month deployment this month.  We squeezed in a few fun family activities before he left and then began the transition (into a territory of poor sleep apparently!).  More to come in the coming months!

Jackson eating snow and Mason laying down digging

1. Hilarious bideo of Jim and Mason sledding [into another kid at the end]
2. Jim and Jack followed by Mason by himself!

2 silly burrito boys

Some pretty hilarious family marching band bideos! 

New indoor bounce house in Oak Harbor!

More fun at Jungle Playland for Tyee's birthday!

Enjoying some coffee and hot chocolate from the "holy grounds" at church. 

Sweet chaotic brothers!

Oh these giggles!

Coloring and converse = total cuteness!

Disney magic show!  It was really great.
Mason got a sword in a sheath and Jackson got a tambourine.

We went hunting for puddles!
(You don't have to look too far in the PNW)

Family fun night at the school.  All of the boys sat at a table together.

Guess where we are?!

Met up with Liam at Jungle Playland!

Mason had trouble falling asleep while Jim was gone.  There are numerous snuggle images for the coming months!

Popsicles and pianos, likely shouldn't mix!

Mom: "who peed in the bath tub?"
Boys in unison: "MEEEEE!!!"

Sending a good night picture to Daddy

who sent us some pictures of his travels (Tokyo)

(Guam) Deployments have really come a long way, huh?  ;p  

Wind storm, power went out while the boys were going to bed.
We got adventurous and set up "camp" in Mason's room!

We got to take care of Eleanor for a day while Julia had some medical appointments.  These kids are pretty cheerful together!
