Peppermint Ice cream

I have been craving peppermint ice cream this whole season so I decided to go on a mission to find some. Off to the commissary I go nope none there lets try the air force base nope they don't have any either. I got Baskin 31 flavors robin will have some nope. Brilliant idea I will buy a ice cream maker and make some oh wait no one sells peppermint flavoring. So if you can get your hands on a bowl of peppermint ice cream eat some for me. 

P.S. Katie if they have some in Seoul let me know and I might be coming for a visit.

snow

The boys have been praying for snow and here is the answer. A snow day. We had so much fun playing outside throwing snow balls and making angles.

santa

We went to see Santa everyone was excited but Christina who won't go near him. She hides and says no Santa. I think it's cute that she talks about him all the time but won't go any where near him when we see him. What can you do.

Korean Market Day

We went to Market day with my friend Lindsey. The boys loved looking at the whole fish. We accidently left Kray behind after I bought my oranges and started walking I was in the front I turned around to see make sure we had everyone and Kray wasn't behind us. Lindsey went back to find him and there he was looking at the fish. He had noticed that we were gone but decided to stay put as he knew we would come and get him. I am glade that he didn't try to find us.  I bought a ton of fruit, a pair of work out pants and leg warmers for Christina. When Dillon was pushing the stroller a Korean women came up and was talking to Christina, they have a thing about touching the kid while the women put her hand in Christina's face and my daughter bite her. I felt bad, but had the hardest time not laughing. One of the stores we walked by the owner came out and gave us some Korean candy. My kids thought it was nasty. LOL Then we went to the bakery. We bought bread, rolls and donuts. 

Thanksgiving

I'm a little late in posting as Thanksgiving was yesterday. I want to express gratitude to my dear husband. I am know that I can be a little trying at times but he loves me in spite of it all. I am thankful for my wonderful children Dillon was trying to find his Nintendo DS and couldn't find it so he decided that he was going to fast and pray to find. He did find it and was able to express gratitude for a loving and helping Heavenly Father. I am awed and amazed by my children and the love that they have for our Savior and those around us.

We had a pretty relaxed Thanksgiving we stayed home and enjoyed each others company. A couple of friends came by and spent some time with us. I am grateful that my family was able to spend this time together.

We bought a real christmas tree this year I am excited to see how it turns out. We had to drive around to find a stand for it but we did. Tomorrow we are going to decorate it the kids are so excited. (So am I) I love Christmas. I am sad that we won't have extended family around to share in the holidays.

We had a ward Thanksgiving dinner with all the missionaries in our area. We had around 20 missionaries. It was wonderful to be around them and to feel of their spirt. One area sung a song for us and another area did a dance. 

We got there around 12:30 thinking we were late but ended up being 30 min. early. We hurried to warm up our sweet potatoes and haul out our pies and cranberries.  On the drive over Spencer turned a corner  and the sweet potatoes on my lamp dumbed over. We tried to catch them but the pan was hot just out of the oven. We did manage to save half of them so we served them up.  During dinner Christina dropped her plate with desert on it, I caught half of it in my hand and the other ended up on the floor. Then she spilled her drink on me. By the time dinner was over I was ready to go home and shower.  It was one of the best Thanksgiving dinners I have been to in a long time. I love the sprit that the missionaries bring everywhere they go.

Tonight Spencer and I went out with the Cox's we went to the new James Bond movie. (all movies at Camp Humpreys is free) Then we went and got Spencer 5 piece suit pictures coming soon.  Then we went to dinner.  Thankfully Bro. Cox speaks korean and was able to order for us. When we left the restaurant the Server/Owner told us that she was Christian and was glade to see that we had prayed over the meal. I am loving Korea and the experience's it has to offer and the friendships that I am building. 

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving..

home sweet home

Here is a picture of the rice fields that are all around where I live. I love the open fields when I am surrounded by so many people.
                              The Koreans have started to bail their fields at the end of the season instead of burning them. They wrap them up in white plastic. The kids have taken to calling them marshmallows and pretending to eat them. Every time I see them I think this is what all farmers should do with their hay so that it won't get wet.  We have seem them wrapped up in stripped and black plastic. 

                         Christina wanted in on the action to.  She is my little sweet heart. I just couldn't resist taking her picture when she asked. 
                          The nice and open field. 

My Life

I did it I passed my Korean driving test. It seems that all we have been doing in getting things set up I have to get physicals for the kids attend a new spouses brief, LEARN TO DRIVE, and Spencer leaves this weekend for 8-10 days. We just get here and he has to leave again.
