What should the conversation be...

snorkeling…again

Boys, I know you get bored with more underwater  video's…but this is probably the only one that I will do for you this deployment.   Baseball was fun and those big fish were so close I thought they were going to nibble on me legs.  Love ya, have fun on vacation!

Dad

Some Random pics for you

 Here is a collection of random pictures that I have taken for you. Sometimes it's just easier to throw them all into one post rather than having a "theme". So here they are!

Not sure why this is fuzzy, but she is just so cute!

 This is Jacob's class on their field trip. That's Fripp Island behind them, they are on the fishing pier right before you get to Fripp

 Noah worked on a sandcastle. This was before he got frustrated and went to do something else

 Emma and I had to protect our fair skin with hats. Don't worry, we didn't spend all of our money on them.

 I love this dress on Emma. The picture's fuzzy again and you cant see it too well, but it's adorable.

 This is how Noah played wii last friday. This kid cracks me up!

 That's Noah playing soccer. I did not do a good job of getting pictures this season

 All of them after their final game

 Emma passed out at the pool party :)

 Jake was king of the raft!

 Hehe, that's Greg in the water that Noah is spraying!

And Jacob back at the pier on field trip day.









Love you and miss you!!!!

Boys,
here is some more photo's of the stuff that I have been doing here in Okinawa.  It is an island, pretty small actually, not more than 70 miles from top to bottom and sometimes only 20 miles wide.  We got to go swimming a couple of weeks ago…saw Gil again...

These are the rocks that we decided to swim out too, they are a little over half a kilometer away from where we started and it took a while to swim out there, even with swimming fins.

 When we got out to the rock, we got to see a cool looking rock that looked like a huge lizzard coming out of the water…he even looks like he is looking right at us!

 More rocks…I doubt any person has ever been on those rocks…ever!  It would be cool to get up there and be the first, eh...

Here is some of the grass that they had on the island.   It was really soft and spongey, just like a nice cool soccer field, but all natural.

 Yes, I made it up to the top of the island!

I love you crazies…hope you are enjoying the last couple of days of school and soccer.  I will talk to you sometime soon. I miss you guys!  Love, Dad.

Boy's…here is a little snapshot of what your dad does.  This picture is of me and Kevin, the bomb is in-between us…it is 500 pounds of high explosive.

 This is Me and Mr. Aaron posing on the grass before we went flying…we had a fun flight!

 This picture is of me just after the bomb came off my aircraft.  I am in aircraft 15, and if you look closely enough, I am starring right at you!

 This is the bomb falling, my buddy has a pretty sweet camera so he took some good pictures…unfortunately, we didn't get to see it go boom cause it was really cloudy out…we didn't even get to see the island that we were dropping the bombs on.

Say, bu-bye to the little bomb…

You boy's continue to take good care of your glorious mother and your little baby sister that is sooo cute.  I will be home in a couple of months…keep your chin up!

Love, Dad.

D.C. part 3

 This was our last day in Washington D.C. It was quite pleasant since the weather was nice and the crowds had thinned out.
  We went to the American History Museum. That's Jake in front of a big train.

 Noah and Sarah cozied up to some of the locals at the museum. :)

 While the boys played in the Spark Lab, Emma familiarized herself with sarah's Iphone. She would like to be efficient with it so that she can get her own some day

 Jacob really enjoyed listening to the scientist talk and do some experiments. He talked about electricity and also about magnetism.

 Noah found alot of dandelions on one of our walks. He managed to pause for a photo op in front of the Washington Monument

 We finally made it to the Lincoln Memorial. It's one of my favorites and the boys really seemed to like it too.

 Yes, I had to feed Emma while we were there. Such is my life these days.

 Noah kept trying to take a picture and jump into it before the camera "took" it. This is the one he finally made it on.

 It was hot and Emma's cheeks were rosy!

 We were going to walk back to the hotel, but it was really hot so half-way there we decided to get a taxi. Noah loved riding back there with no seatbelt on! Is that legal? Seems to happen alot in taxi's...

And finally back at the hotel, we enjoyed our delicious Georgetown Cupcakes. And they were delicious!!!

That is all that we have for pictures from our trip. It sure was a good time. Thanks for letting us spend the money to go! We only wish that you could have come with us....
  Love you!!!

Enjoying the weather

Hey BOOOOIYYYYSZZZZ!
Today it rained really hard all day and there are puddles all over the place.  I made it my job to run through every puddle that I could find…
We may be moving in a couple of months, probably someplace where it doesn't rain as much as it does in South Carolina.  Make sure that you enjoy the storms/rain while you still have the ability to be in them.  Love ya and look forward to your next post!  Take good care of you mom and lil Emma for me!
Love,  Dad.
