enjoying alabama

well, with kids like this-it wouldn't matter where in the world we lived-we'd enjoy it because of our kiddos, thank you Lord for these three awesome little people!

these first few are of a "flight social" we had tonite on base. eli picked up a horseshoe as if he knew what he was doing and said to kevin, "heaby" (heavy) but kept on going, ha! ethan is always giving funny daddy laughs, and then there's mister sports eli-playing basketball. oh, his shirt is off (or OSS) as he says, b/c another guy had his shirt off playing volleyball. it's a good thing he got distracted, cuz i then saw him trying to take off his shorts-after that the "dipoh oss" (diaper off) is sure to follow, hahaha! in fact, he has a bit of a sunburn on his back/shoulders from being totally naked and playing in the backyard today! what a boy!

then there's our chinese princess on her first day of Pre-K, and yes-i got emotional, go figure! :)

then here they are picking pears and muscadines (alabama grapes?!) in our own backyard!

and then just a few of the boys during the mornings when m's at school. i am having SO MUCH fun being w/ just my boys-yes! we do miss you myah-but when ethan takes his a.m. nap and it's just me and E (big E that is), we are having so much fun either playing trucks, trains, balls-or watching 'yo gabba gabba' or just snuggling on the couch. he is ALL TOGETHER a different boy when his buddy/big sis is gone; never saw that coming! he's always funny, but w/ just me and little E, he's sweet-guess cuz there's no one there to be naughty to?! (i'm sure myah enjoys the break from him a little, too!)
