Easter 2010


This year our Easter was downplayed a bit! Since we didn't have our household goods yet, we didn't have easter baskets, eggs to hide the candy in, or anything for that matter! None of that was available at our BX either! Our BX is lame! But, we still managed to figure something out to keep it fun for the kids!

This was part of our FHE activity. Joe and I made up a game last second that turned out to be pretty funny! We took this bowl of m&ms and had everyone take a turn at taking one out without looking. The person that could find the "black" m&m was the winner! But, um...there were no black m&ms! A few min. before the game was over when I could see the m&ms were almost out I took one of mine that I hadn't eaten yet and colored it black with a dry erase marker we had setting out. Lauren ended up getting the last one (that was planned!). She loves being the winner! We don't always let her win, but this time she did!

Lauren and her bestie Lauren! She came over on Easter and had an Easter Egg Hunt with us!

Owen wanted to eat that so bad!

Our messy Nolan!

The First Man to Ever Set Foot on the Moon

This isn't a great picture, but we were aways back so this is the best one we got! I could have gotten one from the net, but thought one that we actually took would be more cool!

I know this was awhile back, but I still wanted to write a bit about it. A few months ago we had the opportunity to meet Neil Armstrong and several other Aeronautical Legends. Most of them are "old" men, but they had some really interesting stories to tell; stories that aren't in the history books. I really hadn't heard of most of the men there, but I just thought it was so cool to be able to say that I saw Neil Armstrong in person. I never dreamed I would live here in Turkey and certainly never thought I would meet a legend such as the first man to walk on the moon! I am so grateful for all the amazing opportunities we are getting out here!
