The Young and the Restless: January 2015

http://jasonandjamieyoung.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html

Tuesday, January 27, 2015. Maddox's favorite part, besides camping at the church, was that he got to have a large ice cream cone instead of a kiddie sized one. Perks of an only child. He also lost his tooth right before leaving. I'm kinda fond of that cute little toothless grin. Next up was a pizza picnic at Frank Kitt's Park right on the waterfront. It was a pretty good choice, if I do say so myself. We strolled up and down Cuba Street admiring all the architecture. Saturday, January 24, 2015. It was so...

The Young and the Restless: April 2014

http://jasonandjamieyoung.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html

Monday, April 28, 2014. I love all the beautiful old churches in the small towns we drive through. The beach can only be accessed through this long narrow tunnel. Not only was the beach spectacular, but there were so many caves, tunnels and huge climbing rocks to keep the kids entertained for days. The sandstone cliffs are supposedly filled with fossils and whale remains and are a geologist's dream, but we were too busy playing to pay much attention. Of course we had to visit Baldwin street, the steepest...

The Young and the Restless: March 2014

http://jasonandjamieyoung.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html

Monday, March 31, 2014. Wednesday, March 26, 2014. We spent hours creating a chalk city that covered the entire drive. Beaches, football stadiums, fire stations, farms and mansions for everyone. Then they spent days driving little cars all around the roads. Just wondering why we've never done this before. I don't know if either one of us will be ready for him to start kindy in a couple of months, but until then we're enjoying our little one on one time together. We both still love his weekly play gro...

Sunday, March 01, 2015. Westie with the Bestie. How's that for a cheesy title? Jason came up with this idea, all on his own mind you, that he would surprise me and have one of my best friends, Melissa secretly fly here. She would just show up on my doorstep then we would whisk away to Fiji for a weekend together. Is that not the best surprise ever? I was just glad we had an excuse to come back so that I could bid a proper good bye to one of our favorite spots. The next morning we took a little walk along...

The Young and the Restless: May 2015

http://jasonandjamieyoung.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html

Friday, May 29, 2015. Lazy summer mornings playing Water Boy and Lava Girl. A photo shoot with these rockstars. The boys were recruited to be their body guards. After a rough day of losing my temper way too much, I found this note on the floor as I was cleaning up. I sure didn't feel like an awesome mom that day, but it made me want to try harder than ever the next day. He also organized a ski trip with the youth and a morning of target shooting. No wonder the boys love him so much. We had to get the tir...

The Young and the Restless: July 2014

http://jasonandjamieyoung.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html

Saturday, July 26, 2014. Home away from home away from home. Seriously, isn't she the cutest? If she doesn't get you baby hungry, nothing will. I forgot that I used to love the rain. It all came back to me as the monsoon rolled in and brought with it the incredible lightning shows and temporary relief from the scorching heat. Spending an evening eating pizza with this cute family was a night well spent. They're our church friends, dance friends, preschool friends, neighbor friends, camping friends, c...

The Young and the Restless: June 2014

http://jasonandjamieyoung.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html

Wednesday, June 25, 2014. I love how kind and considerate everyone is here. You never see road rage or people flipping out at the cashier or waitress. It's nice to be surrounded by common courtesy and people who are quick to smile and say hello. Holidays are so low key here. It's weird not seeing the stores and houses decked out for every single holiday. I miss it. I love that kindy is free. I'm not going to like paying for preschool when we move back. I love that the kids are getting exposed to a differ...

The Young and the Restless: August 2015

http://jasonandjamieyoung.blogspot.com/2015_08_01_archive.html

Monday, August 24, 2015. Going out with a bang. After an epic two year adventure, we just had to go out with a bang. And no better way to do that then to take a month long vacation. Our first stop was Australia. It's not always fun waking up at 4:30 am for a flight, but watching that sun rise sure makes it worth it. It wasn't until that evening that we finally got settled with a dinner of skillet BBQ chicken sandwiches in the campervan while parked at the top of Observation Hill at sunset. Prep work (and...

The Young and the Restless: November 2014

http://jasonandjamieyoung.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html

Saturday, November 29, 2014. I love how the missionaries are keeping such a safe distance from the girls :). Sorry, Megan, the one picture we got of your whole family and Rob had his eyes closed! I wish I would have taken more pictures, especially of the people that were there. I was more in a enjoy-the-good-food-and-good-company mood than I being-stuck-behind-a-lens mood. And that's okay. Wednesday, November 26, 2014. He could live at the skate park. Riding down the ramps with the wind blowing throu...
