Working off the Valentine Chocolates

We bought this used, no owners manual. You get what you paid for...we are still trying to figure out how it works, or maybe that is just it, we are the ones who are supposed to work it.
Juda is the last one that needs any exercise or weight loss and he's the one on it the most....
Not sure if we'll burn any chocolate off like this, but it sure was good for a laugh...

New Family Wheels

Juda shouldn't really be riding Tomo, he doesn't have his glasses on.......Our very special neighbor/friend/landlord Candy san......joining us for the picture moment.
Bethany had a guest over after church, Ms. Katelyn fit right into our family so much that Bethany wants to keep her because she wants a sister.
Tomo enjoying being the CENTER of attention.....
Our new resident commedian......
For Valentine's we celebrated with Cheese Fondue then Chocolate Fondue. For the record...Cho san fed Tomo his first ever chocolate, time and time again. We weren't sure how he would react....just take a look above to see for yourself.....no not really.....he seemed to handle it just fine.....

Strawberry Pickin Time

The gang needed a bath after their "Strawberry Picking" experience, NOT, maybe back in the days of North Carolina Strawberry Pickin, boohoo, those days are no more.

Home grown, we can't believe it, we actually are successful at this, he he he, one plant.....maybe 30+ berries though....

Tomo says, "The one I ate made me see RED".....what a dude....

Play then Say Good Bye



Andy came for his last visit and play time with the kids. What a fun time they had.

Happy Valentine's Day and Fare Well Andy

Moma Meeyaa, My very own box of CHOCOLATE,
We typically don't give Juda chocolate on a regular basis as he makes a mess with it and for other reasons like, I don't like to share my stash..........But it is Valentine's Day and before we knew it he had consumed three of his six pieces from his very own box and it was 8:00 at night......wooo...we were in for a night.
Chocolate and Teddy Bears......perfect Valentine's Day.......
Ben fell asleep as his body was processing that D lish steak dinner Tom prepared for us, along with Ben's famoous Jalapeno/Bacon Poppers as apetizers. MMMMMM Gooddddddd
Andy came over for dinner before he departed Okinawa for Iraq. The parting was quick as to not upset me and Bethany too terribly much. Job well done Andy san. The kids love him so much as we all do and we will miss him terribly. We know how blessed we are for having him here with us for the past several months, but we easily grow accustomed to habits and become very spoiled in the midst.

Now that I'm growing up.......

Will I be a photographer/model......?
Will I work in a parking deck, parking cars....?
Will I be a plastic ware salesman and demonstrate where they go in the kitchen....?
Will I be a carpenter and shelf fitter, demonstrating how children will fit on the shelf after your finished playing with them.....?
OR...... Will I be a plumber/joker...."Yikes...this pipe is HOT".....
Nonetheless...I'm busy exploring all occupations currently, trying to find my place in the grand scheme of things and keeping my mommy busy as she tries to keep an eye on me.

Tomo on the GO


Tomo is on the go now. He started experimenting with the Walking thing last week and is trying really hard to be independent. With the new walking thing comes exploration too. He is keeping busy cleaning out cabinets and drawers and trying new ways of playing with his toys.
