Stan and Cherie

Stan had at least 51 flight legs (we got tired of counting - haha) this year hitting 6 countries. He is doing a great job of expanding Oakley in the region and managing his teams.

Cherie jumped back into the business world after a fantastic health transformation experience with Isagenix. She is now working with people around the world to help them get healthy and fit through nutrition and detox!

The Kids - Favorite Things

Cole: Spiderman and Iron man, Legos, Star Wars anything, maps and naming continents/countries, naming church leaders and reciting Articles of Faith, and riding his bike, and getting Jelly Beans from the Chinese market after school.

Kenney: Captain America and Batman, Lego Duplos, his tricycle, his blankie and Mickey Mouse, and jumping on and off furniture. Cute things he says - Inanenix (Isagenix), Hum On! (come on), Assy (his pacifier), Dadicious (delicious), Hole (Cole), Kuka (Captain America), Aya (our helper Ahwa), Happy Donalds (McDonalds)

Family favs:

Dance parties - Happy by Pharrell & Turn Down for What.
Shadow dancing with flashlights , travel, Duck games and Sunday family walks on the waterfront

New Years Eve

This year Stan negotiated a trip to the Rose Bowl in exchange for flying my sister Gena out for a couple weeks.  The downside (aside from missing the Rose Bowl in person for me) was that he was gone for New Year's Eve.  I'm a spend New Years with your family type gal usually.  I ended up going out for massages with the Stahles and Scows.  That was fun and was home with my boys as the year changed.  Bye bye 2014!

December Randoms

The boys first time watching the classic Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer

Night Out

We had a fun night out to celebrate our friend Quincy's birthday

Stan, me, Sherley and Quincy

Christmas Morning - the remix

When we got back from Bangkok Santa had visited the boys at our apartment as well.  Lucky ducks!

It was a good overall Christmas

Fantasia Lagoon

We took the kids to the Fantasia Lagoon Water Park that is on the top of the Bangkapi Mall.  It was a weekday so there was practically no one there.  The weather had been a little cooler so the water was a bit chilly.  Cole struggled to settle in and enjoy because of the water temperature, but Kenney took on all the big slides like a boss.

Around Bangkok
