The Prince on his "Thrown"

I walked past the bathroom to find Ethan doing his business in nothing but his Burger King crown. Needless to say, this was a Kodak-moment. Sorry for the blurry camcorder picture, but this kid is just so hilarious.

The Boys of Summer

Although it is still February, it feels like summer here (80's!). And since my mom is going through "blog withdrawals" thanks to my broken camera, I thought I would post some summer pictures that have never appeared on the blog. Maybe these photos will warm up those of you experiencing a real February.

I guess if Mom doesn't have the pool filled up, the water table will do.

Blast from the past! Ethan (2) playing at Courtney Beach.

Warm Weather and Cherry Blossoms

Well I think winter is officially over...it's 80 degrees today. This weekend we had plenty of park time, and Andy was able to get in nine holes of golf. The cherry blossoms are also blooming and so beautiful. Please ignore the blurry quality of these photos...they were taken with our camcorder.

Andy and Jackson watching Ethan at the park. Andy is so mean to "fat baby."

These are just some blossoms in a local's yard across the street from our base. I hear they are gorgeous on the northern part of the island.

Bad News Bears

Very shortly after taking the "swinging" pictures, my fabulous (FABULOUS) camera was dropped. It is in drastic need of repair. Unfortunately, repair estimates I am receiving are about the same price as my camera. My parents will be sending me a loaner camera until we decide what to do about ours (THANK YOU MOM). Until I get it in the mail, the blog will be sad. Sorry!

Swinging with my Brother

The boys were swinging Sunday night while Andy was grilling. Ethan took this cute shot of Jackson, and I was sneaky and caught Ethan being nice to his brother.

Hey blue eyes!

Jackson sees me, but Ethan is unaware of my covert operation to catch him being nice to Jackson.

What a nice big brother!

A New Japanese Park

We found a new park on Sunday, and it was awesome. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I will actually miss the Japanese parks when we move. The engineering and design are so cool. I think Ethan will miss them too.

Posing on the ropes.

These kids were talking to him, and Ethan would just repeat the Japanese words. It was really funny.

Thank goodness the park had swings!

Jackson decided not to venture away from me. Big surprise.

Good thing the string on my shorts is so entertaining (and tasty).

Big Boy Haircut

I told you Andy would attack Jackson's hair! Jackson has had trims in the past, but he got his first haircut with clippers today. He started out fine, but boredom took over, and torked him off!

Before....kind of confused, but in a good mood.

During....this is fun!

After....nevermind, this blows!
