Mustache March

So I know it looks a little creepy and old manish, but I had to share Josh's great mustache with everyone. Every March all the guys in the squadron decide to grow a mustache cause why else not its March right????? So Josh has been growing this crazy mustache all month long, and yes I am excited that this month is almost over. I have to admit I am getting a little used to it because I see it every day, but its about time for it to go.

Out Little Getaway to Kauai

Last week Josh and I and my family all went to Kauai. This is on of our favorite places to vacation. We went there on our honeymoon 2 years ago, so it was so nice to go back again. The island is so beautiful and green this time of year. We did a lot of fun things including zip-lining 80 feet up in the trees, a sunset whale watching cruise, kayaking to a waterfall, and of course laying on the beach. I must say I love the beach. Dustin and Melanie's had a rough time when Brock came down with bronchiolitis and a double ear infection. Not fun when you are away from home. But I think it was nice for all of us to get away and enjoy the ocean breeze. While we were on our sunset cruise a huge whale jumped out of the water about 50 feet in front of our boat. It was a pretty amazing experience. I think Josh and I have convinced ourselves that we need to move to Kauai. Wouldn't that be the life!

Josh is 30!!!

So Josh really doesn't like parties but it was his 30th birthday how could I not throw him a party. I tried to make it a suprise but I think he figured it out earlier on Saturday, I guess its the thought that counts. It was a great success both families were there along with some friends. I made Cafe Rio pulled pork burritos which is Josh's favorite meal. My husband is so great and he does so much for me, I just wanted him to know how special he is. He said that was the best party he has ever had. He married the right girl for good parties.

A quick trip

I went to Denver for the first part of the week to visit one my dear friend Sarah Cross. She was living with her parents while her husband in in Iraq. I really envy her because she was making the long trip back to Misawa Japan alone with her 7 month old. Plus he was sick with RSV for the trip back. It was so good to see her, Josh and I met them in Arizona and it was so sad to part ways when we moved. Maybe one day we will live in the same state for 3 years.

A little late

So I totally spaced posting me and Josh's fun adventure of getting our Christmas card picures taken. I am adding them now so everyone can see them. We went up on base and Dustin and Melanie came with. Josh had a lot of fun explaining about the F-16 and bombs. He is just like a little kid on Christmas when he gets to talk about it to people.

Family Night at the Lights

Tonight for family night we decided to go to dinner at The Spaghetti Factory, and to Temple Square to see the lights. We went with Emma's favorite little cousins Brock and India. It wasn't too cold which was nice. The lights were beautiful and it was just so nice to be there during this season. The Temple is always so breathtaking at night, and it reminds me of my wedding.

Our Busy Christmas

I am so happy and sad at the same time that Christmas is over. It has been crazy the last couple of weeks. I kept forgetting important things, some might of thought I was pregnant..... but I am not, no worries. Josh, Emma and I had a great Christmas. We were able to have Emma all of Christmas Eve, and then we got her the 26th morning, because I had to work Christmas night. It was kind of nice to have her the day after Christmas because then she didn't get so overwhelmed with so may presents at once. Christmas Eve was spent at the Larsen home eating soup and playing bingo, Christmas day was at the Jackson household eating, playing in the snow, and just enjoying the family. It is sad to see the season go but I am excited to see what next year brings, hopefully a new edition.
