45AS Kids Christmas Party

Santa flew in from the North Pole on the C-21 today and brought presents to the kids of the 45AS. We sure will miss having Santa make a special trip for us, I don't think our next assignment will be so Santa friendly.

Happy Birthday to ME!

I don't think I could've asked for a better birthday morning, had Jason not been TDY it would've been perfect! Ethan and Rachel "snuck" downstairs to decorate and hide my presents. While I layed in bed waiting for them to tell me they were ready I could here them talking/planning and testing out the noise makers to make sure they worked. I pretended to come down the stairs like I was barely awake so they could surprise me. It was so funny and sweet to see how excited they were. Rewind a few hours to the middle of the night and Ethan came to sleep in my bed to make sure I didn't go downstairs before he and Rachel had time to decorate. He woke up every hour making sure I was still asleep. He later told me that he was so tired from not getting enough sleep because the excitement of surprising me was too much. I got the kids off to school and went to CrossFit, and the group their treated me to breakfast at a local diner. Our schedule has been so busy. Jason made it back from his TDY and we spent the evening at home for my birthday. Jason made dinner and Rachel made my cake. CHEERS TO 33!

Christmas Tree is finally up!

We normally put our decorations up the day after Thanksgiving but since we were gone, decorations were delayed this year. The tree is Jason and Rachel's area of expertise. Me and Ethan do the lights and all the other decorations inside the house. Rachel really loves putting the tree up with her daddy and I think it will become a new Christmas tradition.

Thanksgiving in Oahu!

Jason and I sent the kids to TX to stay with grandparents while we surfed it up in Oahu. I think we covered everything there was to do on Oahu: Pearl Harbor, Pacific Air Museum, North Shore, Waikiki Aquarium, Hanauma Bay snorkeling, Kaneohe Bay, Wamei Valley Botanical Gardens, Dinner cruise, Dole Plantation, Polynesian Culture Center,  full moon at Bellows, and countless attempts at surfing, otherwise translated into trying to drown myself.

Happy Halloween!

I have no pictures to post for Halloween this year, I'm so upset! My camera was on the wrong setting and I didn't realize it until I went to download the pictures. Rachel dressed up as Belle and Ethan was Dracula. We trick or treated around the base and passed out plenty of candy after we were finished trick or treating.
