Handsome .... 28 Feb

Here  is one of Bella's pictures she colored.She's only 4 and she's doing a really good job with her coloring.

So after she was done coloring we of course posted it up on the refrigerator! We were stand back admiring it and she made a comment out of the blue. She said "Daddy is Handsome,.. like a Pirate." I almost choked it was too funny!!

"Daddy is Handsome,.. like a Pirate."  

New Piano- 25 Feb 2012

We bought a piano for the house! Hooray! Evan plays really well but needs to practice if he wants to play hymns and I took a couple of lessons when I was in Japan. Evan's Mother Charlie teaches piano in Kerman. One of her students was getting a new piano and wanted to get rid of this one, so we took it off her hands :)

It was heavy!!! But a great buy! So we are excited to have a piano in our house! Now I just need to find a piano teacher to work with me :)

Cherry Blossoms! - 29 Feb

I absolutely LOVE Cherry Blossoms! In Japan there was a park next to the base and it was filled with gorgeous Cherry Blossoms! There was festivals and lots of memories! So I truly enjoy seeing them It remines me of Japan!

Here's our tree in the front yard with Cherry Blossoms!

We are at the end of our street and
 It's a pleasant view to see all the trees with Cherry Blossoms!

I tried to get the kids to pose in front the tree and this is what I got...

hmmmm at least the tree is pretty!
