Modeling Shoot #8 DAKS Kids

Morgan was really good at her modeling shoot today. They were modeling winter clothes outside in the 85 degree 98% humidity weather. The other 2 kids didn't do so well, we sat around waiting for a LONG time. But I was pleasently surprised and happy that Morgan was better than usual.

I have no idea why they made her hair so frizzy, it would have been much cuter if they had left it in its non-frizzy wringlet curls.

Taking a break and finding some shade.

Just a shot of the designer and hairdresser fidgeting with Morgan. You wouldn't believe the amount of work that goes into getting one good picture.

Another shot of everyone working so hard to get the perfect shot. Photographer, light guy, designer, modeling agent/entertainer.

On the way home. If you look closely you can see her drool running down her chin and onto the straps of her carseat. Boy, she's just like her dad ;)

Morgan's First Slumber Party

Last night Morgan's 2 cute little friends spent the night. They were so good and had so much fun. We will definitely do it again.

Bath time. Lucille is throwing up a peace sign because thats what Koreans do in just about every picture they take. Its funny that Lucille does it.

Getting ready to watch "Planet 51"...Morgan trying to do a peace sign like Lucille.
Eating breakfast this morning.
My attempt at Mickey Mouse pancakes :)

COEX Aquarium Again-June 26, 2010

Our friends, the Feher's, invited us to spend their last weekend in Korea with them. We went to the aquarium for little Kayden's first birthday.

Shortly after this picture was taken, the bus driver slammed on the breaks and Morgan went flying head over heals, heals over head onto the floor of the bus.

I tried to take pictures of different things this time.
Looking at a chipmunk.

There's little tiny fish in the lights.

Also fish in the soda machine

Funny stretchy mirror.

If you look closely you can see a little orange fish hiding in the hole.

Fish in the sink

and in the fridge.

Fish in the washer

Poor tiny monkey caged in a tiny cage.

Amazon people. A friend of mine told me once that I was like a beautiful Amazon woman. I don't think it was a compliment, although she meant it that way :)

This was my favorite display. In honor of the World Cup.

Debbie, Kayden, big Morgan, and little Morgan

Salt Water Crocodile. I didn't even know they had crocodiles in salt water. Interesting.

At one fish display they had these HUGE GIGANTIC fish. Like the size of Morgan, but thick and probably twice as heavy as her. Morgan wanted Clint to hold her up so he picks her up, she peaks up over the top of the tank, and throws her graham cracker in the tank. These fish went NUTS over the cracker and started fighting for it. Water was splashing everywhere. I thought these gigantic fish were going to jump over the side of the tank. It was so funny! Of course we walked away and acted like we had no idea what was going on :)

See-la-lala

The other day Clint and I were in our bedroom talking. Morgan had been playing quietly for quite a while. Next thing we know she comes running into our room, dressed in the outfit below and says, "Mommy, pretty See-la-lala" (Cinderella).
I must say, I'm quite proud of her for dressing herself. Everything was on correctly. However, since this day, she has been dressing herself everyday and usually something, or everything, ends up backwards or inside out and she refuses to allow me to help her.

Those are supposed to be jeans, not capris :)

Last Night After Our Run

Morgan climbed this fire hydrant and was standing on the very top. I tried to get a picture, but by the time I snapped it she had climbed/fallen down and this is what I got:

Just a snapshot of my handsome boy!
I've been taking the kids running with me in the evenings so Clint can get some studying done. Morgan's not a huge fan of being strapped in the stroller, but J loves it.

I never remember to bring my "green" bags to the commissary. In fact, since we moved to Korea, I can only think of 2 times I've actually remembered them. I knew there was a reason I remembered the other day. That reason was because J was going to get hungry and need a comfortable place to drink his bottle.

Ready to Run!!!

Why is it that the last 10 lbs have to be the hardest? I've been trying to lose the last 15 lbs of baby weight since April. I lost 5 in May by doing aerobics everyday, but now its apparant that I'm going to have to step it up a little. I've been running the last 2 weeks. 2-3 times per week and its felt pretty good. I haven't been in too much pain. So I'm really excited to start working toward a 5k (3.1 miles). I found a training schedule in one of Clint's running magazines so I thought I would share for anyone interested. I've never really "trained" or worked up to a 5k before. I usually just exercise a couple time a week and hope that I make it through the 5k on race day. Last time I ran one I threw up. So this time I'm going for being prepared!

This schedule is for running 3 days a week and says you should be doing other workouts (swimming, cycling, aerobics, brisk walking, etc) twice a week. Avoid running on consecutive days. This schedule is not for gaining speed, just working your way to completing a 5k without having to stop or walk.

Week 1
Day 1- 1.5 miles
Day 2- 1.5 miles
Day 3- 2 miles

Week 2
Day 1- 2 miles
Day 2- 2 miles
Day 3- 2.5 miles

Week 3
Day 1- 2 miles
Day 2- 2.5 miles
Day 3- 3 miles

Week 4
Day 1- 2.5 miles
Day 2- 2.5 miles
Day 3- 3 miles

Week 5
Day 1- 2.5 miles
Day 2- 2 miles
Day 3 RACE DAY- 3.1 miles

Mommy's Cafe

You know something funny? The closer it gets to us leaving Korea, the better life seems to get here. I mean, they're opening a HUGE shopping mall area right down the road. K-16 is getting a commissary. They're expanding the gym. Anyway, at this new shopping mall is a Department Store. Its like 12 stories of shopping, restaraunts, and one floor has this little amusement park for kids. We didn't go there this time, but we snapped a picture:

Ava, Morgan, Farron

Lucille

We went to a different floor that had a "Mommy's Cafe". This cafe is amazing. You pay some money, get food, drinks, and 2 hours of your kids basically being babysat while you hang out. The play area has several women attending to the kids and they just play play play. The kids get name tags and you write your number on them so they can call you if there is a problem. I THINK you can leave the cafe and actually shop, but I'm not sure.

Me, Karen, Cayla

I thought the bathrooms were cute. Miniature stalls with miniature toilets and sinks.
