Since my hubby trucked for years I will be using our trucker CB names--So Meet

Lucky Luke

My wonderful, good-looking, strong, and though few know it--good hearted husband.

He can be ornery, but he is pretty amazing!  Some fun facts about Lucas--

He has a super soft spot for babies and animals

He is totally loyal

He is totally spiritual

He can wiggle his ears (individually) and his hair

He is a great teacher

He doesn't put up with any manipulation--he will call anyone out who tries to do it

He is brutally honest--never ask him a question you don't want 100% honesty on

He is able to cut to the chase

He can stand his ground with anyone

He treats the poorest person the same way he treats the richest person

He does not get star struck with anyone

He can hold a conversation with anyone

He doesn't have to talk to anyone for days and still be ok with life

He loves fishing, camping, 4-wheeling, and backpacking

He is mechanically minded and can build just about anything

He works out almost every day and is still in as good as shape as he was when we met

And really the list could go on and on and on

 

Lady Lovebug

Me---I am the mom of the group and the one that has pressing forward with this Korea adventure since we decided to do it. I guess this is my mid-life crisis!

Some facts about me

I would rather make a plan then go through with a plan

I love face painting

I love storytelling (mostly reading books to children under the age of 8)

I am horrible at keeping a house clean

I might fall down the stairs or run into things more than your average person

I have really scary dreams --- often.

I collect things--papers, pens, books, pictures, crafts, but I know where most everything is

I have a degree in Communications and Theater

I start lots of projects, but rarely finish them

I may have a few controls issues

I gather way to much information when learning about something I find interesting

I think my dream job would be a children’s storyteller or an idea person for parties

I spend too much time on the computer

I don’t like my food to touch on my plate

I LOVE pizza

I have a bad habit of losing things—keys, money, important papers, and more

I still get so excited about stuff I can’t sleep at night

She says little sayings that are not common for 5 year olds

Little  Man

My almost 2 year old, Wheeler

He broke his nose a few days ago  :(

He loves to eat

He talks a lot, but only about 10% is understandable

He is very hit and miss with strangers

He has a lot of toys but would still rather mess up whatever project anyone else is working on

He does the cutest baby talk to babies smaller than him

He won't let me cut his fingernails and they are like razors!

We use to call him squealer Wheeler because he squealed like a girl/still does sometimes!

He love the Tractor Song I found on youtube and a Korean car cartoon I found

He LOVES his sisters.

He has a cutest smile and wonderful facial expressions

He hates to be ‘Stuck’ and freaks out a little when he is stuck.

He likes to wear socks and shoes—which were some of his first words

We started to teach him sign language since he wouldn’t talk and he learn the words as fast as the signs and now he rarely signs the words

He wants to be outside as much as possible

He Loves Tractors

He has a low voice for a baby, but a piercing scream

He is stubborn--to this day he will not call Sedona by her name, only by the name Pepper  When we say--"NO her name is SEDONA"--he shakes his head no and says "no PEPPER!"  Like we are idiots!
