<br />
We've lost Kim, but I refuse to succumb to the dark side that is Face Book. I proudly stand my ground and remain solidly against any kind of social media that encourages people to share every last detail of their boring lives, as it is is happening (not my friends and family of course, just all the other boring people). <br />
<br />
This blog has been a wonderful blessing to me, especially while deployed, and I have long hoped that Kim would return to it. Alas, it may be too late for Kim, so a guys gotta do what a guys gotta do.<br />
<br />
I hope to keep all my friends and family around the globe in the loop on the important things in my life. I won't bore you with mundane details, but hope to share all the joys with you and some of the sorrows too.<br />
<br />
I am new at this, so forgive me if I suck at this at first.<br />
<br />

I didn't take as many photos as last year, but you can see we enjoyed ourselves. I even was persuaded to go tubing! <br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
David and I had a double-date that I will NEVER forget. So when coming up with ideas of what to do, I said "surprise me"......little did I know how surprised I would be. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
First we had a very nice dinner (thanks C&D for treating us!) and then it was on to the surprise. David had told Chris and Dominick ahead of time, so I was the only one in the dark. </div>

This is my "really?" face. David looks rather pleased with himself - clearly he hadn't thought about the potential of sleeping on the couch at this point. :)<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, they only sold beer and soda. I really needed a drink, but I quickly realized I would have to watch wrestling while completely sober.<br />
<br />

I then decided to take the "When in Rome" attitude. During half-time / intermission or what ever the heck it's called, the wrestlers came out to take photos and sign autographs. I didn't care about autographs, but I thought it would be a fun/good way to document the evening. And yes, I know I look ridiculous (and possibly Asian), but I couldn't get over the fact that I was posing with a nearly naked man (that wasn't my husband!) and had less body hair than me. <br />

But once we got outside, I let David know how I felt about the surprise date! Just kidding. Yes it was a surprise and one that I would have never guessed. But we still had fun - and I can cross attending a pro-wrestling event off of my bucket list! Oh wait, it was NEVER on the list!

Each day she would come home telling me about the lesson of the day. She would also bring home a cute craft. But the high-light was "The Coconut Cafe". Everyday the children would meet in the cafeteria and have a snack.<br />

For the final day, the children performed several songs. However, Gianna just stood with the group. She didn't look scared, but she didn't really seem to want to be in front of everyone. I was just proud that she didn't come running to me! I did video the first song, but after I realized she wasn't participating, I figured there was no point in recording more.</div>

It seems like only yesterday when I typed<a href="http://lifewiththree-kim.blogspot.com/2009/06/vacation-bible-school.html" target="_blank"> this post</a>. But it was really three years ago when I dropped Gemma and Spencer off for VBS. Today was Gianna's turn, and she was very excited. Gemma was disappointed that she was too young to volunteer, but that is our plan for next summer. <br />

Here's hoping my baby girl enjoys her week of VBS.

After getting a guitar for Christmas and having it collect dust in her room, Gemma finally started guitar lessons today! She was really excited about the lesson, but really annoyed with me that I had the camera. I told her she would appreciate this photo someday. : )Kimhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13563540582078168268noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8877842538867797276.post-79932636805567492512012-06-17T20:00:00.000-05:002012-11-05T20:00:40.340-06:00Happy Father's Day<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

David and I ran another 5k this weekend. It was free! and the Y gave us free t-shirts to wear (we were running as a group). Next time, I'm only wearing the shirt for the photo and then will wear my own - that cotton T was too hot!</div>

Mom came with us and stayed with the kids at the park while we ran. It was a beautiful morning. The kids didn't actually see us running, but I'm glad they are able to see us doing fun/healthy things. I only wish it didn't take me 30+ years to get started! </div>

Today David and I celebrated our 15th wedding anniversary. :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We didn't have a romantic dinner/date or even exchange gifts - only cards. However, David surprised me (I was volunteering at school) by attempting to recreate our wedding cake (flavor not by looks. Our cake was almond poppy-seed and was DELICIOUS!!!). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
He made the cake in the photo and then a smaller heart shaped cake for he and I to share. It wasn't our wedding cake, but it was pretty tasty!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This photo was taken just before we left the house for the gym. We took a Zumba class with Gemma and Spencer while Gianna was in the daycare. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I really can't think of a better way to spend our anniversary!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Happy 15th, Sweetie! I love you! xoxo</div>

So a few months ago, David asked if I'd be interested in running a 5k in May. I had been working out regularly for over a year and thought that adding running would be a nice way to mix things up. (Though I still think running is only for when one is being chased.)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Well, the time came for the race. Since it was bright and early on the other side of town from us, my bff Hoa and her family invited us to spend the night at their house and keep the kids for us. </div>

Look what we saw as we walked into the house! What a great welcome! I should note we arrived early in the day so we could spend the day relaxing and enjoying their pool. The kids had a great time. Instead of taking pictures, I enjoyed our time together. We had a great day of swimming and sun.<br />
<br />
David and I woke up around 6:30 to a quiet house and got ourselves ready. I was a nervous wreck! You would have thought I was running in a real race! As we were pulling into the parking lot, I was quickly trying to come up with excuses so I didn't have to run....what a wimp!!!!<br />

Well, here we are after the race! Clearly I didn't come up with a good excuse! : ) I ran the whole race - NOT in record time, but I never walked. David ran with me the whole time, which was difficult since I run at a much slower pace than he. It was also nice to have a cheerleader with me. The best part though - free dilly bars from Dairy Queen after we crossed the finish line! (DQ was one of the race sponsors.)</div>

We had his favorite - chocolate cake. I love that he is holding his "blankie" in this photo. When we were expecting Spencer, we chose not to find out the sex of the baby. I had girl things from Gemma and a few gender neutral things to get us through the first few weeks. However, shortly after we came home from the hospital, David went shopping to get a few "boy" things. One of his purchases was a soft, velvety, baby-blue blanket. Little did we know how attached our baby boy would become to the blankie! It's a well traveled and well loved blankie.<br />

It seems that we've started a tradition for the 10th birthday. Last year, we bought <a href="http://lifewiththree-kim.blogspot.com/2011/06/taylor-swift.html" target="_blank">Taylor Swift tickets</a> for Gemma's 10th b-day and this year we bought Van Halen tickets for David and Spencer. (David's favorite band) Even though Spencer is 10, he has his daddy's taste for rock music. Red Hot Chili Peppers is another one of his favorite bands!</div>

Here are the boys ready for thier evening out. David is wearing a t-shirt he bought at the last VH concert in 2007. Spencer is wearing a "vintage" (OLD) t-shirt I bought for David a few years ago as a birthday gift. <br />

For a true "boys night out", my nephew Christopher and our good friend Chris went too. They went to a bar/restaurant not too far from the concert venue and met up with some of David's Navy friends. David said everyone thought it was so fun that he brought Spencer. Several people told him (Spencer) they liked his t-shirt too! Someone random even offered David earplugs for him, but David was already prepared.</div>

Now for the main event! David said that David Lee Roth's voice was NOT 100%, but he had so much fun taking Spencer to his first concert that he didn't care too much. Plus, he was just excited that the band didn't break up before making it to town for the show! </div>

It was a very late night for the boys, but I'm sure it's a night not to be soon forgotten. Besides, how cool is it for Spencer's first concert to be Van Halen with his dad!!!! (I think my first concert was Roger Whitaker - thanks mom and dad!)</div>

While David was in Italy, he found out was promoted to Senior Chief Petty Officer, (E-8). So for his first drill weekend back home, we attended his pinning ceremony. I am so proud of all his has accomplished in his Navy career and I am so glad the children are able to attend these special events.<br />
<br />
Mom came too and they had someone taking the "official" photos, so hopefully I'll be getting those soon.<br />
