  • “Rules”After
    posting these rules, each player proceeds to list 8 relatively random
    facts/habits about himself/herself. At the end of the post, the player
    then tags 8 people and posts their names, leaving them a comment on
    their blogs to let them know.

    1. I hate my nose.  When I was a kid everyone always told me I had a big nose like my dad---I got a terrible complex about it and to this day I can't stand my nose.

    2. I love pickles but I can only eat them if I have orange kool-aid or tang to drink with it---I love the way they taste together.  I've tried to eat pickles without the drink and I just can't!

    3. I am obsessive about my children's hair and clothes. Their hair must be combed before going anywhere or doing anything. They must be wearing a nice outfit with no dirt. (Ha, I have 3 boys)  Ken says I am damaging them---I need to stop flipping out if they get messed up! Luckily Jack doesn't have any hair yet!

    4. I never want to have a girl!  I really don't---i loved having 4 brothers and I love having all boys--no girls here!

    5. I LOVE baseball!!!  I have played since I was little and I love to watch it--can't play alot now though--bad shoulder.  I LOVE the Cubs!!!

    6. I am addicted to hot chocolate!  I drink it almost every morning and/or evening. I didn't think I would be able to drink it here in Guam with it being so hot but it doesn't bother me a bit.

    7. My dad is my hero---always has been always will be--humanly speaking of course!

    8. My biggest fear is that my children will die or that I will die and they are too young to understand what happened and would think I abandoned them.

    Ok---I tag Alice, Lisa, Chris, Felicia, and Trisha--I know it's not 8 but some of my friends don't have blogs!!



  • Kindergarten Graduation!!

    Chase graduated from Kindergarten on Tuesday May 15.  He got to have his favorite dinner--meat and potatoes and carrots as he calls it and then he picked his favorite dessert which is cake-batter ice cream with M&M's, Oreos, chocolate chips and marshmallows from ColdStone---he takes after his mother(:!!  He also got a present which he has been wanting for a while. It's a foam making machine---he was very excited.

    Anyway,  there are 3 kindergarten classes at our school and there are about 25 kids in each class.  Every class does their own little program and they all sing together at the beginning and the end.  It was very cute!!!  They all did a great job.  We really do have some great teachers here---though we think that Chase's teacher is the best!!  She's also a very good friend of ours and we are so glad Chase could be in her class this year.  Just to clarify, in Guam people give you a lei when you graduate--k-5, high school, college etc.  There are many different kinds ---not just ones that are made of flowers.  There are candy ones, ones made of toys, ones made of shells---and some even have money in them. Anyway, just wanted to clarify that so those of you from the States weren't wondering why Chase has a  bunch of things hanging from his neck!!

    Foam Machine!

  • Aloha Baby!

    Ok, many of you probably have sung or heard of the song "I may never march in the infantry".  Well, here in Guam we have a different version and the other day this is what Chase was doing..... I just loved the goggles with the boxers---He's a strange child!!!
