I have been a sewing fool this week! I’m almost done with my aprons to send out to some friends, and I am so stoked. I so LOVE to finish a project, don’t you?! I’ve also done a few projects.
From Two Peas in a Bucket:
I used Erica Hernandez’s Happy Paper Pack and Wonky Photo Frames, [...]

25 to go? This weekend was a good one. Jalen finished his book report and practiced his speech pretty well. We went to Church on Sunday where Pastor Jim spent some time talking to the boys. I so appreciate his sensitivity to the boys. I snapped my picture of the day of the two boys [...]
Troy emailed me these shots of us saying farewell and me shooting him (shooting me). anyway. you get the point. I kept forgetting to add these.
I downloaded a few vectors for craft cutters from Peppermint Creative. When I saw this particular image, I thought it could be a cute teacher gift filled with cookies or [...]

We woke up early today to get Troy down to the ship on time, he had to be there at 6am! It was dark and the boys were sleepy. I got some substandard blurry pictures and we said our goodbyes. A quick drive-through McDonald’s and we took our breakfast down to Hickam Air Force Base [...]

Welcome January. Month of new possibilities! I love fresh new starts, don’t you? I feel the same way about Mondays too, but maybe that’s because I am a stay at home mom, and don’t have a J.O.B. to check in on Mondays. Anyway. I am exhilarated with the new opportunities coming my way. I have [...]

Sunday was a very busy day, we took a little trip down to China town to buy lei for Troy’s homecoming and a little snack too. Our favorite Lei Store was called sweethearts back in the day and then re-emerged as Po’ohala a few years ago, same family, new name. I always go there to [...]

I really did intend to blog sometime this week, but wow, I really had a bunch of things going on, and thankfully none had to do with doctor visits. Well kind of… I did go in for TB clearance so I can chaperone field trips with Jordan’s class. You’ll be glad to know, I do [...]

The absolutely fabulous US Air force Thunderbirds are in town this weekend. They have been flying practice this week and had two shows on Saturday and Sunday above Hickam Air Force Base. I love watching those amazing pilots flying in formation (not so much love when they do the fly at each other near misses). [...]
Troy sent me some pictures of him and some of the guys on the ship. They were doing a qualification on a gun or something like that. anyway, here they are (click on the pic for a larger view)
Troy:
not Troy (sorry, I don’t know this person’s name.)
Noble:
the gun!
I love this shot of the binoculars!
I’m guessing [...]
Troy got off safely and on time, in spite of having to go get a new ID card on the morning of deployment.
we shot some last minute pictures at the house before getting in the car, this one courtesy of Jalen ;)
I think we did well seeing him off because we dropped him off and [...]
