Memorial Day Weekend

It has been quite the busy weekend, as you can tell from the 3 new posts trying to update you on everything. Yesterday, we enjoyed a picnic in the park, sponsored by the Services Squadron. There was Hawaiian dancing, a bouncy castle, cotton candy, live music, BBQ, a water slide, tug-of-war, door prizes, and lots of fun! Unfortunately, we did not win the free trip from Northwest Airlines, but that is OK.

As for today, we woke up early and headed South to CoCo's Island. Olivia has been begging for a boat ride, so we ferried to the island in a boat. Then, we ate some lunch, saw some exotic birds, played in the ocean, played in a pool, and swung on a tire swing. Unfortunately, Olivia is a bit sick, which meant she was really not quite herself and lacking some energy. She crashed as soon as we got back to the truck and got her in her car seat. All in all, it was a fun day. Enjoy the pics.

5 Year Anniversary

May 25th marked our 5 year anniversary! The years have gone by quickly! Of course, we celebrated in true Guam style -- we had a babysitter come watch Olivia so we could go out for dinner and a movie (Taco Bell, Cold Stone Creamery, and Pirates of the Caribbean). We were back home about 11:45, which is the latest we have been out in about 5 years! It is amazing to think of all the things we have done in those 5 years, and here's to the next 5 (and the next, and the next, and the next . . .)

Now Here's Something We Hope You'll Really Like

On May 24th, we had an appointment at Navy to have an ultrasound of the baby. Sure enough, there is one in there, and by the doctor's predictions, the due date will be Dec 20th. We were able to see the heart beat, and we were able to snag one picture of the little one. Enjoy!

I'm Back

Well, it has been about 2 weeks since the blog has been updated . . . and about two weeks since I've been off of the island. I just returned from a week in Vegas for training, and then I did a quick trip to MO. Vegas was nice, and I managed to lose only $40 (I only bet $40). All of the hotels were cool to see, but I did not take in any shows.

After the conference, I flew to MO to spend a couple of days. It was fun to see everyone and hang out and rest and relax. It went by really quickly though. When I returned to Guam, it was like Christmas for Olivia and Courtney. They had gifts from me, as well as from both Grandmas -- T-Shirts, dresses, shoes, outfits, toys, candy, etc.

I'm still a bit jet-lagged. In fact, I woke up last night about 3:30 and couldn't get back to sleep. Hopefully, that will improve quickly!

We plan to spend Mother's Day at the beach tomorrow. Should be fun, and I hope to get some new pictures to post. Until then, here are a couple to hold you over.
