Look who's THREE!!!

According to him, it's his BOWDAY! I can't beleive he's three already. Where did my baby go?



Catey's 7th birthday was two weeks ago, I still need to get those pics up. And next week, Bethany. Somebody find a stop button for me so I can make them stop growing up!!!!

EWW EWW EWW EWW!!!!!

Yesterday when we got home from the beach there were several ambulances and firetrucks at a house around the corner. Not long after we got home one of the ambulances left at full speed, sirens and lights going.

This morning at 3 AM I made the mistake of checking my email and found a warning from our commander's wife. An adult had been bitten by a habu snake (thank God it was an adult, a child would have been killed) and it was a pretty bad bite. From the background in the pictures I know that this is what was going on around the corner. She also mentioned that a dog had been bitten and killed over on Kadena last week.

I'm not normally afraid of snakes, but habus terrify me. Needless to say, I had terrible snakey dreams all the rest of the night.

OK, so I might miss a few things.

I love living only a few minutes away from the beach. It's so easy to just decide to go and GO. The kids and I spent three glorious hours at the beach today (Pirate Ship Park, Jen) and it was so much fun. I even finally got Matthew to try swimming!! For an island boy he's pretty landlocked, but not today. He discovered the joy of an inner tube and was "wunning in the wadder." We built sand castles. Ok, we tried to build sand castles, not an easy feat with coral sand, but it was still fun.

I can't remember the last time I had this much fun with my kids. YAY FOR THE BEACH!!!!

54 days!

Nah, I'm not counting at all.

It's done!

We closed on the house this morning! *happy dance*

Now if we could just live in it. August 12 can't come too soon!

What is this TECHNOLOGY you speak of?

I am WAY behind the times. We didn't get a DVD player until a few short years ago. I can't tell you what a gigabyte is. RAM? Isn't that a mountain goat with really big horns? Or a Dodge truck? So needless to say, I'm rather behind the times when it comes to music as well. If I hear a song I like on the radio, I merely hope it comes back on the playlist soon. Or better yet, pray that the PX actually HAS the album so I can buy it. Yeah, we've got a LOT of CD's we don't listen to very often.

So I've finally discovered iTunes. I've spent the whole day trying to narrow down all the songs I've wanted to buy CD's for down to a whopping 20. TWENTY!!! How am I supposed to narrow down Hoobastank (I want the whole album!), Joni Mitchell, Joe Cocker, U2, all the awesomely ghey movie soundtracks.... ??????? And that's just the tip of the iceberg.

I don't have an iPod yet, I'm just going to burn the songs to CD. I've never really understood the whole point of an iPod. Really, can't you people go just a LITTLE while without music? Do you really need a soundtrack for your life? Apparently so. And I'm starting to get it now.
