My how time goes by!!

Technology wizards at work
I can't believe, I have climbed Mt. Fuji!
Neighborhood BBQ and Water Gun Battle to celebrate the end of summer and to celebrate the long recovery of a near fatal motorcycle accident of our neighbor and friend Bull that happened a year ago. Can you guess why he's called Bull.
Juda getting ready to dance to his favorite VBS tunes.
God Bless America
Loosing teeth while brushing, somethings wrong with that.
Giant baby takes over tunnel
Summer Tea Party Fun with friends.
Water Park Fun
Lego building project

Inline Skate practice, nonetheless in the living room, on the carpet, in PINK.
Watching our house grow, two more levels to go. The door to the left of the pic is to the grocery store. Can't get much closer than that to convenience. Adds new meaning to "Go next door for a cup of sugar"!
First day of "2nd Grade"
Enjoying the zip line at the beach at night. Much cooler under the moon, vs. under the sun.
Jerry Seinfield has nothing on bee, I mean me.



This is taste like gold, no no no, it is worth gold, it is watermelon. At $20 a melon, it is gold.
Cat nap anyone.
"That's my brother and I love him soooooo." "How does he keep that glass on his face"?

"MMMMMMgooooood, we wish it was our Birthday"
Oh, the element of surprise, watch out Tomo.
Savoring the flavor, it doesn't come in this form very often.







I don't know where it went, I just know it is gone. The summer was just here, school was out, we were in the summer library reading program and now, we are a month into the new school year. Wooo!!!! I don't think it is a dream, but then again, you never know!! Summer was great, with 100+ books read, Little House in the Big Woods and on the Prairie being just a few of them. Since that accomplishment, we are now watching the TV Series, what a wholesome way to spend some time with Bethany. She just loves Pa and Laura and she can't believe that I actually met him once and have a picture with him. I'll dig around, probably won't find it here, sure it is in storage, no, really, I promise I do have one somewhere, Andy is in it also as a 4 year old. Lots of pool time in the cool of the evening with Andy after work. We didn't dare try sizzling in the hot daytime sun. Craft projects weekly, from building Mr. Bones, to making a Garden Flower Fairy from a kit given to Bethany on her Birthday. VBS was definitely a highlight with "Outrigger Island". Juda LOVED the songs and signs for them. He still enjoys the CD and dances and praises the Lord with his favorite "Yahweh". Tomoyuki is speed crawling, climbing stairs, creeping along the furniture and laughing with a mouthful of teeth. Andy is in Korea training, Ben is in the Fall semester and working, Caleb is working and beginning an online class with Mount Olive College in order to gather a few credits to be eligible for the Air Force. Tom is returning home from Iwakuni today after a few weeks there. God is blessing Ai no Kesshin with some breakthroughs with getting the Free Dial Card in a clinic, reaching some passionate folks and joining with them in prayer about the children of Okinawa and how to find and reach them. Getting back into a routine with volunteering activities in an attempt to meet the needs around us. Enjoyed another neighborhood BBQ and Water Gun Battle to end the summer. Watching our house on the corner grow. Projected date of completion is in December.
