Blake's Newly Grey Tooth

So Blake fell when we were at the Tokyo airport and hit his mouth on the tile floor, I thought it would be alright cause it hadn't turned colors and was not loose or anything like that. Well about a week ago it started turning grey. We have a pediatric dentist in our stake here so Noah had him look at it on Sunday and he said that as long as he doesn't get a white spot on his gum's above the tooth that it should be fine and they don't want to pull teeth when they are young because it will leave a gap that his other teeth will want to fill in and then when his adult teeth come in it can cause problems. So for the next who knows how long Blake will have a grey tooth right in front of his mouth for the whole world to see..

Visit from my family before we left for Japan.

My mom, dad, brother Tyler and sister Alyson were all able to make it out to see us before we left to Japan in January. Shane Noah's brother was also able to make it and he brought his little boy that the kids and I had never had the chance to meet before then, we really enjoyed the couple of days we were able to spend with them. Anyway so while mom, dad, Tyler and Alyson were all here we went to this museum that they have on Fort Lewis but it was closed already so we just took pictures out on the tanks in front of it. We were also able to take them on a ferry ride from Bremerton to Seattle and then we went to the Seattle Aquarium and had dinner at Ivar's and then hopped back on the ferry to go to back to Bremerton and pick up the cars to drive home. Thank you all for coming and seeing us we love our family and miss you all very much!!

Seattle Aquarium

Blake loved touching the star fish at the Seattle Aquarium

We went to the Seattle Aquarium while my parents and Alyson and Tyler were in Seattle the week before we left for Japan. They have an area where you can touch starfish, crabs, seahorses and anemones. Anyway Blake thought is was so cool and loved touching them and I could get him to touch pretty much any of it. Here is a picture of him getting helped up by Uncle Tyler so that he can reach them.

Logan's Staff Infection

Little did we know this was the beginning of Logan's Staff infection on his face.

Here is Logan's face in mid treatment for it.


Here is Logan now and he looks so much better!!

Plane ride to Tokyo

Noah and the boys waiting on the plane to leave Seattle for Tokyo.

Here are pictures of when we were in decent to land into Tokyo, Japan. I took these pictures when the seatbelt sign was on when we were supposed to be landing and I was standing next to the emergency exit door taking pictures of Japan. I had to get pictures of the first time we would see Japan so the flight attendants were really nice and let me do it! Hope you enjoy seeing them.

We have officially broken in Misawa!!

We had to take Logan and Blake to the Urgent Care(ER) here on base yesterday!! Which of course should not have been a surprise to anyone! Anyway Logan has had a pussy rash on his face and Blake has had a rash all over his body. Logan has a staff infection(impetigo) on his face and is on oral antibiotics and a cream that we have to put on his face and Blake has severely dry skin that we are applying cream all over him. Pray that they both get better and that all will be well. We also are going to go look at a couple of houses today and see how those will fit our family. We love you all and hope to hear from you soon!!

Children say the cutest things!

Last night we were having family prayer and Blake was saying the prayer. He was thanking heavenly father and then he said bless mommy and daddy to have the hugest spirit and logan and me(blake) to have the smaller spirit and Jason to have the tiniest spirit. I thought it was so cute when he said that. I love how children are so sweet and inoccent! We have made it to Misawa AB, Japan and are doing well. I miss the states and all that we know but we will get used to it and I am sure that we will love our time spent here. We love you all and hope you are doing great!!
