August happenings

I have been able to dive twice in the last few weeks. I have gone to toilet bowl both times. Thankfully  Brandon a friend from church likes to dive a lot too and he and another friend April and I went out. First dive at toilet bowl we saw 2 turtles, 2 sharks and a cuttle fish

I think these trumpet fish are pretty fun to watch. 

I love taking pictures so I can show the boys when I get home. 

Sea aninomes 

Brandon and April diving

I really like this little star fish

I thought this was interesting 2 fish were eating a sea urchin

Jesse came home so the next morning we went diving and we saw 2 eagle rays and 2 sharks

Clown fish are always fun to take pictures of. 

So i love this picture. I love the contrast in this picture. I didn't do any editing this is straight from my camera. Next time we dive we are going to pick up all the fishing line. there was a ton out there stuck on the coral. 

Jack loves sunglasses these days. 

How Kade never falls off his bed is amazing. He sleeps like this every night. Since he does sleep like this he did fall out of the bed when we were at Okuma. He asked me why he sleeps like this.... yeah I have no idea bud.

We finished off our swim lessons. it was pretty great. 

Jack and his BFF Callen. They hung out on the pool deck...oh this is hours before I took him to the ER

Floating like a champ

Doesn't he look like he should be in the ER! Ha he is such a ham. 

After running around the er and the X-ray room we found out he fractured both his ulna and radius so he got a cast. Luckily the ortho guys came over and put a cast on him that day instead of making us go over the next day. 

He was so good he just sat there and let the Dr put on the cast and was like whatever this is cool. 

Seriously this guy is a clown. So many faces and always playing around. I mean look at this face! 

Showing off his cast

Started running more. We have a few friends we meet at the school. A few of us run around and a few  walk. the kids all play on the playground. 

He almost dove under the board. That was skill right three

These are four of the 5 great swim teacher. Brooke, Regan, Sammy and Angela. We had so much fun having them over for meals and showing them fun parts of Okinawa that they normally wouldn't see. We miss them already

Introduced the boys to the olympics and it was so much fun. We watched a ton of swimming and gymnastics and beach volleyball. I had to change the living room around a bit so I could plug into cable. The boys all loved it. Perfect time to be stuck inside with Jack's arm.

More time at the Parks. At one time I looked around and they were all paired playing with each other. 

These two have grown up a lot in the last year and get a long so good now. No more biting or hitting instead they hide out in the corner and play.

Ellen and Kade playing beach volleyball!! so cute. 

Thankful Jon will wrestle with my boys. Kade was in heaven and I'm pretty sure Jon was having a great time too. Emily wasn't so sure about the whole thing. Can I just say i miss having carpet and a nice thick pad under that. I am so tired of cement floors. 

Bathtime. good thing he still fits in the sink

He has been trying to do the peace sign in pictures. 

nice and sweaty after our run. I have to prove to Jesse that I have been running

The officer's club has a kiddie disco open to everyone. This is our second one to go to and the kids weren't so into the first time we went but this week they were out on the dance floor. It was helpful that Lorna and the boys were there. 

Jack got a pair of glasses 

It was Gideon's birthday this week and we decided to go out for breakfast at the Pancake house.  We arrived before it opened so we walked down to the beach. I took more pictures but my phone was acting up and they didn't turn out. I still love this picture of the boys.
