Katie is 4!

Technically this happened several months ago, but here she is my beautiful princess! We had her party at Peter Piper Pizza, and had a blast! She got to dress up as Cinderella and have pizza, cake, and play games. We had a great time. Hopefully with school out for a few weeks, I can play catch up. No promises!

Sami is five!

Sami is five! This first picture is her sitting down to her first day of kindergarten! Wah, she's all grown up. She did really well, she walked right in and left me crying in the hallway. She had a fun birthday, Uncle Devin flew in for a visit, Troy is also here. Derek and Janel came over, Megan, and Stephanie, and she had lot's of help from Katie and Beckham opening her presents. She got a bike which she loves and is getting used to. Stephanie made some delicious cupcakes for her. Aaron just went to pick her up from school, so we'll see how she did!

Beckham is two!

So my little man is two! I can't believe it, it has gone by so fast. My little Hammy is so sweet, he loves to swim, read books, sing songs, and follow his sisters around. He is slowly discovering boy toys. He loves spiderman, cars and trucks, and recently discovered the Transformers. He loves talking to anyone, building with blocks, and eating jelly beans. Happy birthday Beckham!

A little rough housing.

So Derek and the kids were playing tonight at Beckhams' birthday party. Just keep an eye on Beck in the background! Ok, and ignore my annoying voice on the replays! Pause the music player at the bottom of the page also!

More Japan stuffs.

Ok, so this first picture is the Yomeimon gate at the Toshogu shrine in Nikko. Nikko is a small city/national forest that has many famous shrines for Buddhist and Shinto religions. It's a beautiful area. The next picture is of the 5 story pagoda at the same Nikko area.



















This next picture is of a giant Buddha statue. I am not sure exactly how tall, but somewhere around 35-45 feet tall. It was amazing. Then, Aaron, Kit and I getting ready for a long day of hiking around Japan! More to come soon!

Beckhams' trip to the E.R.

Ok so this first picture is my adorable niece, Jane. She is so stinking cute! Picture number two, is Beckham after getting 4 stitches at the e.r. Picture number 3 is him a few minutes after he caught the edge of the end table. There is a line bruise going down his forehead to in between his eyebrows also, that you can sort of see in the 2nd picture. He was such a tough guy, he hardly cried at all! Hopefully he will sleep tonight!

Japan!

So here are a few pictures. I don't even have time to explain them! More pictures later, and some explanations! We are alive and having a great time! Ja mata!

So, here's a bunch of random photos! Aaron graduated and is now a doctor of optometry. He grew a "gradustache" which I made him shave the next day. We're done, woot woot! My niece Melanie is the blonde, Chloe (another niece) is the brunette. We saw a young leapord seal on Bandon Beach. The kids loved watching it move through the sand.
I will post more later, because right now I need to pack. Japan baby! Banzai!

Missed me yet?

Ok, well I have tried for about an hour to add some pictures. However, we are currently borrowing a neighbors' internet. The signal is simply too weak to do much. So you will just have to imagine all the fun we are having in Oregon on the beach and with family and friends! We (Aaron, Kit, Devin, and I) are headed to Japan June 9th! I am beyond excited! We will be there 9 days, and plan to have lot's of fun. Thanks in advance to those who will be watching the munsters! Well, hopefully I will be able to add some pictures soon.

Little rascal

So I was really looking forward to some home made egg muffin sandwiches last night.
I had Aaron pick up the eggs, and was eagerly anticipating said meal. Unforunately, my Beckers got a hold of the carton of eggs and promptly dumped them on the floor. My heart was broken! I held Aaron responsible for cleaning up the mess, since he didn't put the eggs away. Beckham was running around declaring " I did it!" We tried to explain it wasn't really something to be proud of, but he was adorable so I let it go. I guess we'll keep him.

Finally in Zion! (My version anyway!)

Ok, so I have officially reached Arizona!!! Try to contain your excitement people. I got here, Friday evening. I broke the trip from Ogden to Chandler into two days. We stopped and stayed with some friends in St. George, and the kids had a great time running around with their friends. The kids on the couch are (L-R): Beckham, Katie, Jackson, Sami, Asher, and Porter. It's not the best picture ever, but they are all in it! Thanks to Megan and family for having us. It really helped to break up the trip. It was just the kids and I, so that was an "adventure." Aaron and his Dad came through Ogden, with the moving truck, on their way down 3 weeks ago. They experienced some adverse weather, and got trapped in Kingman, Az, for the night. (Party central) On the drive yesterday, I turned around to give Katie a drink, and was startled to see her make over. I'm not sure orange marker is her color. But it was surprisingly symetrical. We had a great time in Utah visiting family, and we are excited to be back in the sun. Although, I wasn't quite ready for this warm of weather. I was hoping to slowly acclimate. I just experienced a 50 degree change in weather. We got in, and I had to dig out some summer clothes. Guess we don't need snow boots and jackets anymore. Although, I REALLY need a tan! My legs are pigment challenged....Now that I'm back I want to see everyone and their mother...My email address is michelle_lambson@hotmail.com. So email me and we can exchange pleasantries, and contact info. Looking forward to annoying you all again!

Photo shoot

My wonderful, awesome, funny, amazing, talented friend, Heather Taylor, took some awesome photos of the kids and I the other day. It was freezing cold, and my kids weren't that cooperative but she did an amazing job! It was hard to pick only a few to put on here. Thanks again Heather! A+

Preschool!!!

So this is kind of a boring post but, I really need to find a preschool for the girls to finish out the year in when we get to Arizona. I also need to find somewhere for Sami to go to KINDERGARTEN! Holy smokes, I have a kindergartener. I can't believe it! So please offer suggestions for places you know and love! Pretty please with a cherry on top! We will be living in chandler, so somewhere close is ideal. But any and all suggestions are appreciated. If you have a contact name and number to leave that would be great, because then you do all the work for me! Aaron will be arriving into town around Feb. 9th or 10th. His dad, Gail, is coming with him, and they will clean up the house and get it ready for us. Knowing Gail, he'll probably tear it down, and build a fresh, new one! (The man is a miracle worker) The kids and I will be arriving somewhere in the 20's of Feb. We are headed down through Utah to have a nice vacation with family, and friends in Utah. Although, it might not be as nice for them since I am bringing my 3 terrors with me. Muwhahahahahah scene fades out...

Janel is here!

I am so excited to have my sister Janel here to visit me! I think she is getting a real eye opener spending all this time with my crazy kids. She is having her first, a girl, this June. So hopefully we don't convince her to stop after one. Here we are picking her up at the airport, and then Sami and Beckham were modeling some of her winter accessories. She probably doesn't get much of a chance to use them in Arizona. She'll be here till Sunday and we are planning to have some fun. I was sick all day today so that wasn't much fun for her I'm sure, but the kids loved their nanny for the day. Don't tell her that I was faking just so I could get the day off!

Fun at the beach!

We went to Bandon beach today with Grandpa and Grandma Lambson, Heather and Mikayla, Jasmine and Uncle Erik. We had a great time looking for agates and playing in the sand. It was pretty chilly but the kids still had a good time.
