Fun Dip!!

Micah and I had some fun eating a fun dip I found left over from Valentines Day! I haven't had fun dip in forever but we really enjoyed it. Some how it was hidden in our cupboard. Needless to say it was a nice treat!! Micah loves anything you can dip especially if it's sugar. The problem is that I gave it to her right before bed time, after all that sugar she wasn't ready for bed.

4th of July weekend

So, we had a pretty busy weekend!! We celebrated the 4th of July by having a cook out with some American friends here and then on Sunday we went to another cookout with some locals. We couldn't help but notice the culture differences in each cookout but we had a great time either way! Its easy to see which cookout is which because of the colors!
We had white chocolate covered strawberry's and sugar cookies...yummy!!
This is our picnic table!

The girls swam in the pool!
Neither of them wanted to look at the camera!
I am proud to be an American!!

Yeah!! I got both of them smiling!
Micah and a sweet friend in the hammock today!
These are some local friends...as you can see the boys and girls don't sit together.
Here we are eating cherries and doot!
The weather was so cold up the mountain that I was given extra clothing by my friends!
Here is what we had for our picnic...yogurt, kofte (like a meat ball), tomatoes, cucumbers, and sucuk (kind of like sausage but not)!
Here is everybody at the table! Can you see all the tomatoes and bread?
Our sweet angel!
Sleepy at the end of a long day.
For those of you who have been asking here is a picture of our sweet baby boy! His name will be Luka and here we are at 27 weeks!

This is what we do on the weekends!

Micah and Jason made pancakes for dinner tonight and it was yummy. Jason is a pancake pro and so he taught Micah a few of his tricks. Micah loves helping in the kitchen; she especially loves pouring the milk.
I love this picture!

You can see where she spilled the milk but she is still all smiles!

This is Micah giving me instructions on making pancakes.

Yesterday for family day, we went to the Zoo. Micah started out having a lot of fun but by the end she was ready to go. She was afraid of most of the animals and would start crying if they came to close to the gate. Jason and I weren't too surprised; Micah is afraid of a lot things especially loud noises. One of her favorite things were the monkeys but I think it was because they were so far away and didn't make any noise. At the end of the day Micah was so tired that she started to fall asleep in the car while eating her snack.
She was even afraid of the pelicans...
She liked the swan!
There they are looking at the monkeys!

Fathers day!!

I let Micah work on a few pictures for Jason for Father's day and in the end I think she got more marker on herself than she did on the paper. Here are a few samples of her work.
I think she likes the color red!

We had a very relaxing Fathers day!! We had brunch at our house and then headed to Starbuck's for some afternoon coffee. Micah and I are so thankful for such a wonderful husband and father. We enjoyed our day together as a family even though Micah managed to spill Jason's chocolate frappuccino all over herself and jason. It was pretty funny! Happy Fathers Day to all especially our dad's who are so far from us!!


Micah loves to play on our legs when they are crossed...she thinks its so funny!


Micah sitting like a big girl in Starbuck's!
Micah drank chocolate milk with whip cream...yummy! I think you can even see it dripping down her chin.

In a near-by village Micah got flowers!
Picnic in the living room! Micah loves cherries, although she usualy takes one bite of each cherry and leaves the rest.
Yummy!!
Sweet baby girl!!
