Skyping to make up the miles

Merry Christmas Eve from Kinnley!

Finally enjoying the weather

Just another day at the park.  80 Degrees in December! Its finally the time of the year we can be outside.

Decorating the Tree

Balloon Festival 2012

Another successful balloon festival...

Birthday's

Ayden's 5th Birthday Party, I didn't take a ton of pictures because the lighting was awful, however when we left the Gymanastics gym Ayden said "Mom I really had a good time at my birthday party."  SCORE 1 pt for the Parents!  Thanks to all who came to help celebrate and to Mom, Dad and Tia who helped with all the details! :)

Birthday Ball

Happy Halloween

Jeremy tried to get us all *ninja* costumes when he was in Hong Kong, my was made for a 4'5" petite woman and Kinnley wanted nothing to do with hers (I have no idea where she gets her opinionated personality) In any case, here is our random Halloween costumes... :)

 We consider it a *decent photo* when at least 50% are looking at the camera... :) 

Just another Saturday

Pictures from this morning....

Ayden washing his bike and Kinnley giving her very serious look.

Please note the shoes on both kids in this last picture.  Nana and Papa are responsible for allowing this :)

How long has it been?

It's been a while, huh?  There are all kinds of moments to update like Ayden's new school and Kinnley growing faster than anyone can keep up with, but the bottom line is the Osbornes are enjoying having Jeremy home and everyday life.  So, the blog may be a bit out of order as we get caught up, but here is a little taste for all the long distance family and friends that have been asking for an update.

Welcome HOME

Long awaited... Thank you to Lindsay Windt Photography and MLN Photography for some of these images... And a very special public thank you to all the friends and family that helped us get through the difficult times of this deployment, I could not have done it without you...

Happy Father's Day

Happy Father's Day to all Dad's in our lives, especially Jeremy who we can't celebrate with today.... Here are some updated pics from the last couple of weeks. 

 This generation will never know life without gadgets... :) 

This is Ayden's Spider man jump... you wouldn't know he is only 4 by how well he is swimming.

A sneak peak

Big things are coming..... soon(ish)....
Here is a sneak peak at the preparations.

A San Fransisco Adventure

This deployment is quickly approaching its end, as this was the last scheduled trip to break up the time.  Kate and Jeremy's good friends got married in San Fransisco so we were able to spend the long weekend away.  Plus, an added bonus, it was 50 degrees cooler!

Oh, the hills...

 

The highlight of the day

 

A typically hazy day in the morning, but it quickly turned to sunny skies

 

 

The bridge turned 75 years old this past weekend

Ayden's favorite street performers, the gold and silver men.  We sat for 20 minutes just watching them.

 

Kinnley touching the sting ray and star fish at the aquarium

 

 

 

It's been a while

Finally, Skyping with Daddy

Library

Heading to the library

Boy or dolphin?

 

 Ayden is getting stronger and stronger in the water.  We took these videos so show his daddy (and grandparents among others) but the first video Ayden took some creative interpretation and swam like a dolphin.  I promise he is not drowning--he is being creative!  The second video is actually what we were going for.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DADDY!

Definitely be-witching hour for Kinnley, but the message is clear... Happy Birthday Daddy!  We miss you!  Feel free to leave Jeremy a comment, I know he looks at this site! :)
