just a buch a pictures....

nikoy says it's a picture of daddy....

-k- so for the most part this is just going to be pictures.. not a lot to report...as usual.. other then we got nikoy and kaylee matching beds... nikoys bed was kinda falling apart, and we thought it's time for kaylee to leave the crib, so she has a big girl bed now..so yeah and the girls are now sharing a room, we have a guest bedroom now for all those visiters we havent had.......(hint hint)so yeah.. oh and we went swimming last saturday, with some friends,,,sorry no pics of that, im NOT bringing my camera toa swimming pool... anywho... i'll get a disposable for that...anywhoots....so we went swimming with some friends and it was a pretty cool poolit had a toddler pool thats only about 8 inches deep, and then it had a lap pool with a diving board and a 2 story high dive, and then it had a swimming pool for people to splash and play and what not, AND it has 2 water slide, one black dark swirly tube that has little lights in side of it, kinda like lasers edge at 7 peaks for those who remember...... and the other is a big open tube for well,, tubes...you take a tube, walk up 2 or 3 flights of slippery wet stairs, and pray you dont fall adn break your neck.... and then you hop into your tube and go zoomin down the slide at the speed of light... and the best part, is that, being in germany..they dont care... you can bring your 2 day old baby down the slide with you adn they dont care.. entering thier pool you agree that your children are your responsibilty... if your baby drowns its your fault... (theres no life guards!!!!) so yeah.. i'd go down with nikoy on my lap, and cory would take kaylee, and then we'd switch cuz nikoy likes going fast and so does cory...and kaylee freaked out and i did to the first time..... i like it now that i've doen it 800 times, but still, you know.. anywho.. that was our weekend. nothing new since then... just sat at home doing what we do best... :) he he he... so yeah.. anywho.. now for the pics...enjoy..sure, we get them new beds, and they still sleep in mine......

theres a monster under my bed...theres a monster under the girls bed too...

kitty's getting comfy.. :Penjoy it while it lasts... for it is now.....

BATH TIME!! MWA HA HA HA HA!!soggy cat...out of the tub, still pretty wet...

get down with the sickness......

what a month.... between being sick and staying up late I'm exhausted!! -k-, so sherry was "blessed" with a bout of tonsillitis, it sucked, huge walnut sized tonsils, big white spots, sore throat, 103 degree fever, the works... but she's much better now....(thank the almighty)


Cory was also "blessed" with phlaritis, something like that, basically a sore throat, which escalated into a fever, and then, you'll never guess, pink eye.. and just when it seemed the end of the sick, he got pink eye in his other eye......poor fella....


Nikoy hasn't had much since the last 103 degree fever, but she has been getting these spontaneous broken bones "mommy my legs broked" "mommy my finger broked" it's really silly, anything for attention, love em to death.....


Kaylee is not sick, she's not terribly whiny, but she is being so good at telling me when she thinks she needs to go to bed.. she'll come up to me with her blanket in one hand and her drink in the other and say, "nye nye" and she'll turn and walk into her room..and if i don't follow her to put her into her crib then....she gets a bit more forceful... by which i mean screaming "MOMMY!" at the top of her lungs until i come put her to bed... oy vey.. anywho... really not a lot else to report on, Cory and i get to get dressed up and go to a fun award ceremony for Cory's squadron on the 29Th, "formal attire" and all! it'll be fun, I'm going to spend LOTS of time on my hair, cuz i have lots of hair now..it's grown so long! it's about to the middle of my back now and i want to cut it,,,,but i don't... so i wont...Nikoys hair is about to the middle of her back too, and i will not cut it... it's too beautiful... Kaylee's hair is about shoulder length and getting lighter and lighter every day!my beautiful blonde's! so yeah.. that's our month in a nut shell....sorry so short, but enjoy the few pics i managed to take..!! loves!

update...nothing special....

so you'll never guess who we've recently met... :) ..... LT. DAN! .. cory had a honor guard detail
and gary selise.. (i cant spell) attended. i wasmt planning on getting in the picture, i took one of the honor guard with him, and then turned to walk away and he decided he wanted a picture with me so i figured why not? amd we a;so got to meet with the ..( give me a moment...) cheif master sergant of the airforce.....i cant remember his name....parish i think.....it was a nice quiet evening, full of...events.. :)...
cory's hand is healing quite nicely he'sgot most his
range of motion, next step is to work on his strength again.. it'll come!
they've got him working swing shifts so we've been up pretty late, he's unfortunatly had to give up boyscouts because of his job, but im sure he'll find other ways to occupy his time...
i am doing wonderfully enough. sometiems it seems theres not enough time in the day, and others it seems i have to much time on my hands...either way i keep myself busy... the girls are experts at wasting time... im bored, and all i need to do is go into nikoys room and build a castle of blocks with her and kaylee and suddenly its bed time! kaylee is the smiliest little princess in the world, i cant get enough of her smiles!shes always willing to give a smile! she's gotten so good at talking, she kind of says "love you" but it comes out more of a "nu-noo" the love you...we'll have to work on that.. she's very polite as well, she always says thank you, you give her a sucker "deedoo " ( which is kaylee for "thank you"..) you pick her up and hug her "deedoo" you make her eat her peas "deedoo" even when it's really not appreciated, she still says thank you... now if only we could get her to say please.....
Nikoy, unfortunalty woke up on the 7th, of february with a 103 degree fever, and has been very much the drama queen since, "mommy i want my blankie" i tell her its down by her feet, she says " i want you to get it!" .........i dot think so. she has her ups and downs today the fever didnt hit untill after lunch, at which point she laid on the couch and watched our newest disney movie "aristocats." which she watches at least 2 times a day! she's walks around the house singing, "everybody wants to be a cat, i want to be a cat, everybody wants to be a cat, yah man!" and she's terribly excited for 101 dalmations to come out in march!

kitty cat (formerly known as jasmine) is taken to us all, she loves the girls and seems to tolerate me, you should see my arms they are covered in cat scratches! but i still love her.... in fact, she seems quite content to just sleep in my lap right now......

anywho. thats it for now... nothing else to share... we'll be going home at some point this summerish, so we're looking forward to that.... anywho.. gotta go! loves to you alll!!!!!!

another year another wrinkle...

first off, i wanted to share Nikoy's first smiley face, drawn, unfortunately on an etchasketch type thingy, rather then a piece of paper! ain't it cute?

so, we spent the weekend down in Heidelberg! it was so much fun! the castle was beautiful! so many pictures so little time! the girls enjoyed themselves even though it was pretty chilly! the wind wasn't helping! but the scenery was beautiful.we went with a few friends, and we all really enjoyed ourselves!

the girls of course were ever popular among the fellow tourists! (especially the Chinese/ Japanese travelers! gotta love the blond hair blue eyed beauties!) at every turn there was someone wanting a picture of the cute American kids! what a culture shock! you cant open your eyes back in the states without seeing a blond! (whether or not, they're a true blond, is a whole different matter)

Nikoy and Kaylee made so many friends at the castle between the Germans and other various tourists! we had to keep a close eye on both of them! they are such friendly little girls! why cant the world be like this? I don't know you, you look different, and I have no idea what your saying, but you can be my friend anyways!
the view from the castle was amazing! you could see the entire city! and the architecture was beautiful, most the houses looked like little miniature castles themselves!! from what we were told, this bridge in the background was used in the movie triple X.... we haven't seen it for a while, but apparently the city's famous for the bridge!

we couldn't read what this stone says on it ( no one in our party spoke German!) but it was awfully fun to hide behind!

the courtyard was beautiful! a great place to stop and relax and smell the fresh air! for being the middle of January, the grass is still a beautiful shade of green! and yes we are planning on going back when the weather was better, and warmer, and definatly sunnier!
they had these beer kegs that were huge! how anyone can drink that much I'll never understand!

this keg went all the way to the ceiling! and there was another room that was huge! and the only thing in it was an enormous keg! that took up the hole room! there was just enough room to walk in fill up a pitcher and walk out!

the girls of course took every opportunity to be cute, Kaylee loved her Capri sonnes ( we're in Germany remember??) and Nikoy would run somewhere and strike a pose and yell "mommy take my picture!" and mommy would be more then happy to oblige!

the sunset from the castle courtyard was beautiful! absolutely breath-taking! we had so much fun on this trip! and we cant wait to go on another one! a perfect end to a perfect day!

it's almost christmas!

-k- so it's almost christmas!! yay sherry managed to finally break cory and we got a family kitten (sherry considered it an early christmas!) she's a beautiful little black fuzzball named jasmine! yes nikoy named her! sherry has fallen completely for her, she cant take 3 steps without being attacked by the fuzzball...cory's doesnt much care for it, but..he'll learn.. (n_n) hehe ...

we also had 2 christmas parties on one day! wooh! we had cory's work party which was fun, they had a dinner and some games and some white elephant gifts.... and stuff...nikoy and kaylee sat on santa's lap! nikoy had fun and yelled for a bike, kaylee cried and reached for mommy...

then at the ward party we got to be festive and dress up in biblical times.. they had light snacks... and told the story of jesus's birth, and then we all went home.......it was nice i guess...

so, yeah..

well, on a more, irritating note... our car is in the shop...AGAIN!! hopefully for the last time.. it wouldnt be so bad except that we are having to pay for all these repairs in euro, which is getting quite expensive.. the going rate from euro to dollers is about 65 euro cents is equal to one doller... so, when we pull 20 euros out of our account it actually pulls out 30 dollers....ouch...so we lose 10 bucks! and thats hurts.. so yeah.. ...anywho..

we are so ready for christmas to get here, nikoy has seen santa a few times and proudly announces to the entire store at the top of her lungs that she wants a new bike! at least she's not asking for a pony! kaylee's not quite good enough at talking to tell us what she wants, so we took her to the toy store and set her down and watched..she gave us a few good ideas!! she's getting so much better though! she's so silly! she'll do something naughty and sherry will say " do you need some time out?" and kaylee says no, and then walks over to the corner and leans her head against it and pouts for a minute or 2, then she walks away.. sucha goose.

cory is coming along. he can use his hand a little bit, at least he was able to bring up the groceries the other day! we are excited to get his pins out, then he'll be in a removable cast, he'll go to physical therapy 2-3 times a week and we'll see if he gets any feeling back in his thumb and first finger! he's getting a fun thing from "santa" (more like MRS. clause actually...) and he needs both his hands for it, so he's excited..

and sherry? well, she's just happy to be here.
