 Caleb se divirtió tanto durante los festejos del dia de Halloween! Para su escuela se disfrazo de competidor de carros para Lightning !McQueen. Se vio tan guapo y se divirtió mucho con sus amiguitos en su escuelita, Kuwae! Por el resto del fin de semana fue un DINOSAURIO! Cuando llego su disfraz de dinosaurio se puso tan feliz que fue todo lo que se puso durante el resto del día!  Caleb had so

We decided it would be fun to go to the second largest aquarium for Columbus Day, since Dustin had a few days off for the weekend. It was fun to watch my two boys enjoy touching some sea stars and "cucumber" sea things.  Caleb seems to enjoy having his Daddy around!  Caleb enjoyed watching all the fish swim around and seeing all their different colors. I just though these were pretty fish

It was an awesome experience to go the the Tug-of-War in down town Naha. Just a little history on what this tug-of-war is about: " The tug-of-war in Asia stretches back almost two thousand years.  During the year 71 AD in China, it is said that a tugging contest was held to decide which religion - Buddhism or Taoism -  was superior."(Okinawa Living, October 2011) This event is in the Guinness

Mi pequeno ya esta grandesito! Este fue su primer dia de su escuelita. Pienso que yo estuve mas nerviosa que el. El estaba feliz por ir y conocer a sus nuevos amiguitos!  My little boy is all grown up! This is his first day attending preschool.  I think I was more nervous than he was.  He was just excited to go and meet his new friends!                                  Aqui feliz despidiendose de

Estábamos Caleb y yo en una de las tiendas dentro de la base y encontramos estos plumones.  Son como los que se utilizan para los pizarrones blancos pero estos plumones son para las ventanas. Entonces decidimos comprarlos porque Caleb y yo hemos estado practicando escribir las letras.  A Caleb le encanta escribir mas en las ventanas que en hojas! Hemos estado practicando escribir su nombre y este

Casi se me olvidaba nuestro divertida e inesperada visita en Seattle, WA. Bueno como ya saben nuestro vuelo a Okinawa se atraso por que estaba pasando un huracán por Japón y los vuelos habían sido cancelados hasta que pasara el huracán. Por lo mientras nos dimos unas vacaciones en Seattle y fuimos al Space Needle, Pacific Science Center, Children's Museum, Pike Place Market, and Seattle Aquarium.

Durante nuestras ultimas semanas que estuvimos en Ogden, pudimos disfrutar de la compania de nuestro amigo, Jeremyn, y su familia.  Dustin conoció a Jeremyn Kitchen durante su mision en Venezuela y desde entonces se mantienen en comunicación. Dustin hizo su familia al igual que Jeremyn y desde entonces son parte de nuestra familia. Bueno tuvimos la oportunidad de volver a verlos  y también a sus

Fui muy afortunada de poder celebrar el Dia de las Madres con mi mama este ano.

Aaaah! Como ya muchos de ustedes saben, antes de ir a Lagoon teníamos planeado sacarnos fotos familiares.  Claro, las fotos no se realizaron en ese día por que en el camino una de las llantas del carro se nos salio en la carretera! Nadie salió lesionado, un poco nerviosos, pero después de todo decidimos ir a Lagoon de todos modos.  No solamente perdimos una de las llantas, pero al llegar a Lagoon

Nos divertimos muchisimo en nuestro campamento en el Sur de Utah - Goblin Valley.  Caleb tuvo un montón de espacio para correr, y encontro un montón de palos y piedras para jugar - el estuvo en el momento de su vida! ( por lo mientras que su mama se moria de preocupación)  Me encanto mucho ver a mi hijo hacer un puente para sus juguetes y verlo saltar en las rocas en Gobblin Valley.  Tambien me

Durante el fin de semana, junto con una familia que conocimos en Seattle, decidimos ir a un tur en American Village ( American Village es un lugar en Okinawas donde hay un montón de diferente tiendas, pero es famoso por la rueda.) Mientras estuvimos ahi, pudimos ver un poco de la cultura - como algunos de las bailes típicos, diferentes tiendas de ropa, y tambien pudimos tener almuerzo ahi! No

Yesterday my in-laws invited Caleb and I to go to Hardware Ranch in Hyrum for their ward activity.  Needless to say we had so much fun!  Caleb was pretty much more excited playing in the sand box with the other kids then looking at the Elk!  It was really fun to see the Elk and also to be outdoors while snowing.  I'm sure Dustin is pretty jealous that he wasn't here with us - specially with

   At the beginning of Feb. my niece, Yiselle, turned two-years-old and my whole family was able to celebrate her birthday.  Of course my sister went all out and made a big party for her.  My son had so much running around playing with the ball that when we started gathering the kids for the piñata, he forgot all about the ball.  Even the adults were able to take a few swings!  Not to mention

Caleb and I were able to drive down to San Diego, CA to visit Dustin while he is in training.  He showed us around and this is THE huge C130 plane that Dustin will be flying in Japan.  So excited for him! -not to mention that I was really excited to be in a warmer place for a little while :) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Caleb y yo tuvimos

 Caleb had so much fun sledding that day.  Most of my family came out with all of their kids to have some fun in the snow.  This was the first time for Caleb to really enjoy the snow along with all of his cousins.  We had so much fun! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Caleb se divirtio tanto deslisandose este dia.  La majoria de mi familia

One day I noticed that our bananas were getting pretty black so we decided to make banana bread.  Caleb liked helping mom make the dough specially at the end.  He loved liking those left overs on the spatula.  And what's really weird is that Caleb DOES NOT like bananas, but he sure loved eating banana bread! Weird, huh?

So I posted photos when we went to the circus and forgot to write a few words :)  So anyway, on the third of July our family went to the circus with friends from Kingsville.  Needless to that we had so much fun - specially Caleb.  He loved seeing the tigers and elephants . . . .  and pretty much anything that went kaboom!!!  First time in a circus with our 2-yr old was not bad at all :D  s

We had sooooo much fun watching Sesame Street tonight.  Caleb was entertained with the show especially when Elmo and Cookie Monster came out! I personally enjoyed just watching him on his Daddy's lap and just enjoy the show.  Caleb was able to shake hands with Grover, Elmo, and Cookie Monster.  At the end when he left the auditorium he kept saying, "Bye Elmo, bye Cookie Monster."  He just

Caleb likes to draw circles in his chalk board.  He has learn his shapes like circle, triangle, square, and rectangle.  He tries to draw them but so far circles are the easiest for him.  Those other wiggly stuff you see . . . . . only he knows what they are! A Caleb le gusta dibujar circulos en su pizarra. Ultimamente a aprendido a decir círculo, triángulo, cuadrado, y rectángulo (en Ingles,

So I had fun trying to cut Dustin's hair the other day.  We thought that it wouldn't be hard to do a Marine hair cut and here are the results!! He liked it so I guess that is all that matters.  Caleb also got a hair cut, but he was not happy :( El otro día trate de cortarle el pelo a Dustin.  Pensamos que no seria difícil hace un corte de pelo y aquí están los resultados!

So the local news made a big deal of Hurricane Alex.  We had sand bags in the garage, front door, and back door; tied down our grill, and took precautions with our garden, but all it happen was rain and wind. We had fun taking pictures anyway.  It was some what exciting to go through this experience.  It made us realize how much 72-hour kits are necessary and most importantly food storage.

A few months ago we were able to go to an air show in Kingsville, TX.  These are the Blue Angels, the same ones that are actually stationed in pensacola, FL.  It was pretty cool to see some of the formations they did.  These pilots are some of the best of the best in the Marine Corps and Navy.

One afternoon we were all eating m&ms in the living room and we saw this.  Caleb kept picking only certain colors from my hand and I guess he decided he wanted to arrange them by color along with his cars and the rug.  At the time he was learning his colors and now is really good with his colors:)

We've also visited the Aquarium here in Corpus.  Caleb had so much fun!  He loves fish!!  There were some pretty big fish that he was really fascinated with.  He was able to touch some sting rays, star fish, and other that I have no idea what they are called, but it was exciting to see his face light up every time he saw a fish. Some were scary and creepy too! Caleb loved watching the dolphin

So far we have visited the USS Lexington.  Huge, HUGE ship ( I guess I haven't been in a ship this big).  Though I would not recommend going with a 2-yr-old.  People told us it would take us anywhere from 3 to 4 hrs to go through the whole tours they do- it only took us 2 to 3 hrs.  All my son wanted to do is run or touch every button or display while I ran behind him so he wouldn't destroy

We have  arrived in Corpus Christi, TX!!  We are excited to be here!  As many of you may know Dustin has selected C130 to fly and his training is here in TX.  We're just happy and excited to be here and start in a new place (though we do miss Milton, FL).  Our new ward has been very kind to us.  Many members in our ward that it feels like we're in UT! On our way TX we had to make a quick detour

Caleb was able to go for a boat ride with Dad, although, he fell as sleep sometime during the ride:)And this are our YM and YW from the Pace Ward. It has been a wonderful experience to work with the YW and to see how they strive to live the gospel. Sometimes they make

Our 4th of July was awesome as you can see!! We spent it at the beach as a family. Navarre Beach is like the best beach we have gone to. There is a calm side where many families go to take kids since it doesn't have waves or at least not very many boats come either. So kids can ran in and out of the water without parents worrying about kids getting pulled by a current. It was just great to see

As some of you know Dustin is the Ward Mission Leader and after a correlation meeting Elder Greer( on the left) wanted to take a picture with us because he was going home! Although we felt sad to loose a good missionary, we were happy to had a chance to know him. We wish him well on his next phase in life!

Caleb has already learned to do some pull-ups. He and his Daddy work out together every now and then.

This is Caleb enjoying his Easter candy sent from Grandman and Grandpa Mann. The good thing was he didn't get a tummy ache from all the candy he had. He sure enjoyed it though!

There has been a few times when I don't enjoy the comfort of a bed. Caleb has been sick a few times, but not like last time. He was getting up with a strong cough that would wake him up regularly during the night. He would start crying and well . . . it wasn't a good idea to take him to sleep with us since he would either start playing with dad or toss around and Dustin wouldn't get a good

My boy has learned to put his diaper and trash away and I have proof! One day I told Dustin and he didn't believe me so I had to get proof. So every time my boy would go near the trash I would follow with the camera and finally took these two.

They seem to like each other mmmm . . . . . I love taking pictures of both Dustin and Caleb. Specially when they cuddle in their sleep!

Caleb becomes more independent each day. Some days he likes to feed himself, others he prefers mom to feed him- just depends on the mood he's in!

Can you believe my son is afraid of the water? Well, . . . . . he is! Or at least the waves. Dustin and Caleb were just playing in the sand. Caleb explored other sea life on the sand also. It was a little windy when we got there and the water was a little cold, but we had a fun time. There was not a lot of people out on the beach so we had a lot of space to play around and explore.

Ok, so I have a hard time keeping up with the blog. So we'll do another recap for the months of February and March. In February we had the opportunity to travel to the Birmingham, Alabama Temple. It only took us about 4 hrs to get there! Let me just say that we have learn to appreciate living in Utah, where Temples are just minutes away. But after all the traveling all I can say is that it is

Finally January! What can I say. . . . . . Dustin has been called as a Ward Mission Leader and I have been called as the 2nd counselor in the Young Women. My everyday life is Caleb, and temporally the dogs. I'm currently looking for a job while Dustin keeps going to Whitting Field every morning. He is now taking a class, AMO (Aviation Maintenance Officer), before he starts API. We, Caleb and

Also in December we had a loss in the family. Necha's brother, Glenn Stapley, passed away, We were able to attend his funeral and also got to visit Scott and Sarah. we spent about two weeks in Utah and we were able to have Christmas with both sides of our families. On Christmas eve my side of the family (Damis'), prepared a little show about Christ birth. Some were dressed as sheperds, and

In December it was Caleb's birthday on the 12th. We invited a few of our friends and went to dinner to Ruby Tuesdays. We order a small cake just for Caleb so he could smash it. Needless to say he liked it so much that he decided to take a bite and grab it with his hands. For his presents he received his own cell phone, his own car keys (by the way these are toys not real ones!), a nice set of

Here are some videos of us playing with Caleb. Dustin has introduced Golf to Caleb and he likes it, as long as we are paying attention or Caleb will find a way to get our attention. Every now and then Caleb likes to walk on the couch, but after he fell down the couch he has been more careful and we try not to let him walk or run on it. I just really like how Caleb keeps growing and

One of Dustin's good friends asked us to Doggiesitt (is this how it's spelled?) for the week while he and his wife went on a cruise. So Jade (the black retriever) and Kota (the huskie) are staying with us. The first day, I think, was a little tough for Caleb and Kota. As you can see they are a little bigger then Caleb. Jade is actually gentle with him, but Kota wants to play with Caleb, but

Ok, so I got behind on blogging, sorry! So I will do a recap of the things that we've done since Nov. 2008. Let's see . . . . . Nov we had Dustin's graduation from TBS (The Basic School), which by the way, I couldn't put a picture of this on the blog because the ones that were taken were a little too dark, sorry:( Necha and Blain came to Virginia and we did a little touring of DC before
