Rest In Peace Great Grandma Kastenholz
We Really Miss Daddy!
Boy have we been busy bees as we wait for Daddy to come home. Nick has been gone since January 9th. he will come home this Friday! It has been a long but fast month. We really miss him!
Bye Bye Daddy! We are really going to miss you!
They LOVE their new boots!
This past weekend we didn't do to much. the girls spent a lot of time with our upstairs neighbor Cindy. On Saturday morning she cooked them breakfast and let them watch Inside out. They also helped with her cupcake order! and then today Sunday the 31st, we went to church, CCD and Cindy might take them bowling this afternoon.
and the BEST news ever!! This mom's first day of work is tomorrow!!! I'm nervous but excited!
I will keep you posted!!! Only 5 more bedtimes and Daddy comes home!
Bye Bye Daddy! We are really going to miss you!
Luckily I have found some really great friends here and they made it their mission to keep up extra busy through the weekends that we didn't have Nick.
The day that Nick left we went to Ramstein Air Force Base and went swimming. it is about an hour away and it was such a nice pool!
My friend Trudy swam with the kiddos and I got to watch this handsome man! baby Stephen. He's 3 months old!
These sisters, LOL. they said mom, mom, come in here quick! so I ran into the bathroom and Ryann was Lucille were laughing to hard. Lucille said she was a dolphin and Ryann was catching a ride. LOL
On Wednesday the 13th, Lucille's Girl Scout Troop toured our Radio Station. It was really cool!!
Video of the girls!
Lucille and Ryann were really excited to wear there workout gear that they got from Grandpa and Grandma. and to finally use their stampers that they got from Grandma Kathy and Grandpa Ron!
Can ya tell?!?!?!? Its snowing!! But it was really hard to get a good picture!
Piggy Back TIME!!!!
We got less than I'm not even sure, but the kids were so excited to play! Lucille made a snow angel and they wanted so badly to make a snowman, so I used some cardboard and gathered as much snow as I could and below was the result!
The girls had off of school for Martin Luther King's birthday, so we went with Trudy and her kiddos to a indoor jumpy house place. It was fun! Ryann was loving this slide. All it took was one time with Mommy and then she was off!
Video of Ryann on the slide
Video of the girls riding this go cart thingy!
Lucille wanted to make a grocery list. She was asking me how to spell things that we usually by at the grocery store. LOL! We must be really eating healthy!
Lucille was ready the English to Germany picture dictionary. LOL it is fun watching their relationship grow as they each mature alittle bit more.
They LOVE their new boots!
Grandma's outfits!! I was so Sad, aunty Shany got Lucille the really cool neon green tights to match her dress and when I picked her up from school the whole one leg was bare and it looked like she has on dress socks with biker shorts! 1 time deal! : ( have to find thick cotton tights. stockings are no good.
and the BEST news ever!! This mom's first day of work is tomorrow!!! I'm nervous but excited!
I will keep you posted!!! Only 5 more bedtimes and Daddy comes home!

All the holidays and a New year!!
Hello Everyone. I am so very sorry that I have neglected the blog. As usual life got in the way : )
We get the prettiest sunrise and sunsets from our apartment building.
Our neighbor Cindy "cake lady" always spoils the girls!
I was so proud of myself. After a 6 week bootcamp that meant twice a day, twice a week, I finally did my first 5K. Me and my workout buddy Liz! I told myself I wanted to finish in under 45 min. (she said that our route was over a 5K.) I completed in 44:45. I was so proud of myself. I am looking forward to lowering that time!! I also lost 6 LBS and 2 inches off my waist! I kissed A$$!
I just couldn't believe how Ryann feel asleep below. She has her poor legs hanging off the couch, her toes were almost touching the floor.
sorry I cant figure out how to flip with around. Lucille had to put a turkey in disguise. she asked me to help her and we decided to go with Santa!!
USA here we come!!! Our countdown is finally over and we get to go to the beach house!!!
The girls did really well! Mommy's nerves were a little rattled but we survived and made it!!!
The family at breakfast. Ready to caravan to the beach!!!
Tattoos with Uncle Michael!
Giving Uncle Michael a hair cut. Ryann liked this alittle too much!
Manicure with Aunt Shany
Tea Party with CuzUncle
Nail stickers with "grandma" Bevy!
New baby cousin, Lu! He's so cute!!
Have you ever seen this before!!! Sorry it is sideways!! We couldn't believe that it really worked!!!
Video of Lucille swimming under the water with no swimmies!
Which she only learned how to do in the first day we were at the beach!!
She's so awesome! So proud of her!!!
MeMa knocked a think off her bucket list!! She rode a bike!!!!!
Ryann in a basket! and DADDY we miss you!!!!!!
Lucille has always wanted to be a mermaid!
The girls really love Whip Whip Nae Nae! Can you tell!!??
We had the most incredible sunrises and sunsets this year!! We were one lucky bunch!
Yep!! Doing a fire ball shot with my grandma!!! She loved it!
Ryann jumping in the pool! She is hilarious!
Baby Lu is SOOOO little and sweet. he was only a few weeks old.
2015's Charlie Brown Tree was a good one!!

Final sunset! Good bye beach house. Until next year!
Seeing Santa before we go back to Germany. Thank you TT for sitting with us!!
We made it home!!!! TO Germany!!!
Hi Daddy, We missed you SOOO much!!!
Lucille at her investiture ceremony for Daisy's!
Rudesheim Christmas Market!! This was a really cool town!!
Lucille's first day taking the bus to after school care. Since I got a job!!! she now gets to go to after school care!! She LOVES it! and I cant wait to start my job!!!
That face basically sums up Ryann's personality!!!
Christmas Market in Wiesbaden!
Yummy Gulasch Soup!!!
Yummy potatoe Pancakes!!!
Yummy German sausage!!!
We had a wonderful Christmas season here in Germany. The girls really loved Santa and all the presents that he brought us!
One of Lucille's new hobby's is skate boarding!!
One of the things that we did was Ice Skating. It was the girls first time and neither of them fell!! I couldn't tell you the last time I had ice skated, but it was funny, you just kinda remember : )
Minus the skates hurting my flat feet so bad! Luckily we went with our favorite family, The Dunn's and ms. Trudy helped Lucille while I got Ryann food!
Drum roll Please! Santa came!!!
Video of the girls waking up and seeing the presents for the first time. This video required me to sleep on a mattress in the hallway as a blocker, so no kids would get past me and see the presents!
Lucille's friend Gates came over and they used the Girl Scout edition Easy Bake Oven. They are in the same kindergarten class as well as Daisy troop! it was fun to make thin mints!
We watched the Dunn kids on this past Saturday. Julia and Dakota. and I am very mad at myself, I didn't get a picture of the lil pumpkin Stephen who is 3 months old.
CHEERS!!!
Popcorn and movie time!!!!
oh and Happy New Year!!! they really go all out here with their fireworks. here is a video I took out our back window. and they went on for almost an hour!!
I finally did it. The blog is current!! Phew!
We are now just getting back into the non holiday regular life routine. Nick will be gone for a month on a training exercise. We will miss him so much, but will do our best to keep very busy so that time will fly by!
Lucille and Ryann are doing great and we cant wait for Ryann's 3rd birthday at the end of February.
It will be Barbie themed. She is obsessed with the cartoon Barbie's dreamhouse. its so funny!
we are also starting to plan my families trip out here the beginning of July! It is going to be so awesome!!!
hmm... what else. Lucille is still doing gymnastics! and loving it. Ryann now wants to do everything too! Cant believe she is getting so big. Ryann is also obsessed with baby dolls, her purse, phone and keys.
I got a job! Doing HR with the office responsible for all of the HR work for the civilian workers on post. I cant wait to start. Its a process getting on boarded and it takes forever for my security clearance to process. But finally this momma is going to work!! YAY!!
The weather hasn't been to horrible, it has been staying in the low 40's. and in german fashion, rains every day. We are in a valley being in Wiesbaden, so I have heard that we wont get a lot of snow, but what we do get is so much fog. its very weird. hopefully we will at least get alittle snow for the girls sake!
Otherwise, we are doing really great! Love and miss everyone so very much!!
sorry for the delay in getting the blog updated!
