4 Years old!!!

TAKOA IS 4!!!Takoa and his new bike we live on a huge hill so he can't really ride it but in our drive way right now. We can go to the top of the hill and then he can ride better!

He LOVES BYU for those of you that know my family and my parents we say Takoa is more of a fan than my dad! He is a true cougar fan!! Koa bleeds blue!

I have never seen kids not go crazy... they all just picked the candy and toys they wanted I was putting handfulls into their bags!

(not the best pic oh well) Takoa and Mommy

the cake!! BOLT

Takoa had a great Birthday!!! I can't believe my "little guy" is 4! We ate dinner mac and cheese homemade, (takoas request) also had stake, chicken, fish, salads, jello gigglers a lot of food... To finish off with cake and icecream!! Takoa couldn't decide what theme to have for his birthday so it was a mix. He loves bolt and also Transformers so we did both and he loved it. We had a pinata full of tons of candy and little toys!! I was glad we were home so he could have his Grandparents there and cousins at least some of them. When we got back to Alaska Takoa got to pick out his new bike!! He was so happy to get one transformers it was!! I has been able to ride it a little and he is doing really good! He is growing so much and says the funniest things I love it! I wish he could stay little. He loves to dance (hip-hop dance as he says) play with his sister, talk to daddy on skype, he is great at tae kwon do, ride his bike, be a big helper!! love you Takoa

UTAH

Well we made it back to Alaska!! Last month I was really in need of family so I took a military flight to Boise (that was closest I could get) and had my sister come pick me up! Military flights are great they are FREE....they are just REALLY loud and it's stand by. It was nice cause TJ is deployed I was in a higher category. The kids loved it they got to walk around Takoa went up on deck to see how they fly and on the way home the last flight there was a hammock and takoa went up and got to wear a headset and talk to the pilot. He told me he got to fly!! I was in Utah a little over 3 weeks. We then got to Washington planning on staying until we got a flight 10 days later and some tears we made it home I was so ready and couldn't handle it anymore! I missed one flight cause they changed the time and then they weren't going to let me fly cause my paper work didn't have all the info they wanted it to have ( the same paperwork I got there with)! We didn't have to stay in a hotel we have great friends that we stayed with that didn't want us to go. I was an experience but I would do it again...it saves us a ton of $$$ Why didn't we do this before? We had loads of fun spending time with family and friends! I was so excited to see some friends I hadn't seen for years thanks Heather for taking the time to see us Takoa had so much fun and can't wait to play again. It was sure great to catch up with you! Takoa was decked out for 3 of the BYU games he got to go to! As soon as we would leave the game he would ask when the next one was. I think he is more of a BYU fan than my dad its so funny. We only wish we were going to be there this weekend for ESPN game day. He told me he would be screaming so loud! We also had Takoa's birthday! I will post more on that! we went to the zoo saw the baby elephant! We went to lagoon! All in all we had a great get away!!!
