Fun Photos

I am officially a soccer mom and it is awesome. I remember when our daughter was still just a baby wondering if she was ever going to walk and now she is playing soccer.
My sweet boy was so excited to have an outing with just he and mom, he was all smiles. I couldn't help but being all smiles myself just seeing him so happy.
I laughed as I came across this picture the other night. A little while back as my husband and I came up the stairs to go to bed we found our son camped out and asleep in the hallway. He was so cute we had to get a photo of it.

Our children have been investigating some of the wildlife here in Okinawa. By wildlife I mean the really big bugs.
This is our kids favorite place to play, a pirate ship on the local beach.
Our daughter got the special treat of being picked up from school by dad. They walked home together past my husbands favorite spot of jungle. It really is amazing scenery.

Castles and Disco

We have been receiving a lot of rain lately, however, we decided that we had not been on an adventure in a while. No matter where you go, if it is in the rain it is always an adventure. So we decided to visit Shuri castle. The best part of our visit was of course the kids comments. Our favorite was from our daughter upon entering the building. As everyone enters we of course are understandably required to remove our shoes and carry them in a plastic bag. After a few steps without her shoes our sweet girl exclaims, "It sure is fun to walk in socks". We could not dispute that fact, it really is fun to walk in socks.
My umbrella is a shout out to the USH. I had no idea when I was given this umbrella that I would be using it so much in so many different places around the world.

These are my two babies just singing and dancing in the rain. They actually get excited about the rain because in means rain boots and splashing in puddles. Now for the disco portion of this blog. It was once again time for the Kiddie Disco at our local Officers Club. The kids can't wait to get out on the dance floor. Our daughter dances like a never ending tornado on the dance floor. Our son feels the dance floor is a little too small and so he spins himself through the dining area occasionally and briefly throwing himself on the ground in a fit of exhaustion.
The boys decided to take pictures of themselves getting wild on the dance floor. I thought they were too cute to keep to ourselves.

Cuteness

We realized that it has been a while since we have posted pictures of our newest addition. We are now attempting to rectify the situation before we start receiving threats. So here are some of his most recent cute moments.

Here he is actually sleeping. Yes, he not only smiles and laughs in his sleep but occasionally he sleeps with his eyes open.

We call this pose "The Scream", for the obvious reasons.

Our boy sounds like a doggy chew toy when he laughs. A squeaky never sounded so cute.

Seeing or even just hearing daddy always puts a smile on our sweet boy's face.

How cute are these sweet children and our sweet boy all dressed in white? Of course what I really love about this picture is that our oldest son doesn't care how special the moment may be, he wants to make sure that everyone knows these are his cookies.

What a great looking father and son. How lucky I am to get to have such an awesome family

Mom's Bday

I got up to go fly at 3 on Mom's birthday, so I decorated the table to surprise her.
She said all she wanted was to get sandwiches and have a picnic on a tropical beach...so we did.
The only thing better than cheesecake is two different kinds mixed together to make one piece. This is carrot and Godiva chocolate.
The kids having a good time and enjoying the sunset.

It was a really fun day.

Our Daughters Bday and First Day of School

We know it's now October, but our daughter's birthday was awesome, and we wanted to show her decorations.
She was pretty happy.

This is her on her first day of school. Isn't she cute? No fear, just super excited.

Grandma's Visit

We were so lucky to have my Mom come out to help us welcome the new baby to the family. She helped entertain our other two for the entire time she was here. Needless to say, they cried a lot when she had to leave, but we told them that Grandma needed to get back to Grandpa and their Uncle.

We took Mom to the Four Seasons for some Kobe beef.

It's amazing.

And of course we had to show her the ever impressive Churami aquarium.

Presents from Grandma.

These are our efforts to turn Mom into a beach snob.




Showing Mom American Village.

Cuteness to make the 24 hours of travel worth it.

We all went to Torii Beach for the last night Grandma was here.
