My fabulous mother's day

This year, to my surprise I got flowers!! James did a great job picking them out. And its not a potted plant so I won't feel bad if I kill them within a week. For breakfast I had french toast at Chili's (they serve breakfast) on base. Then topped it off with some afternoon HGTV and Wii Fit action. Then after dinner and the evening chapel service James gave up the TV and let me watch House Hunters International. So it was extra special!

CJ's first successful home haircut

James bought a nice set of clippers and (braver than I am) gave CJ a nice buzz for the summer. It's much better to wash too. So here's the before...















And the after. He definitely has James' face with my chubby cheeks.

Vocabulary

Things are going good in Japan. It is definitely warming up in temperature and humidity. CJ is saying a lot of sentences. Some of his favorites are "Mommy coming home, Curious George take job, ride car up big hill or ride car thru tunnel." He loves pressing the door bell and saying ding-dong. And pants and barks like a dog. It's pretty funny. He loves every show on Noggin. And he can say most of the bedtime and meal prayers by himself. Can you believe he is 35 inches tall?!

We are planning on a Hawaiian vacation at the end of June, YEAH!! James has spent a lot of time there and I've been there 6 times, but we've never gone together so this trip will be very exciting. CJ hasn't been in the ocean since our camping adventure in Italy when he was 9 months old.

James went with the chapel youth to Beach Break on Okinawa. So that was a fun time for him. I had to take a forced weeks vacation to stay home and watch CJ...I just hate forced vacations. We started hosting the Fireproofing study for 5 1/2 couples this last week at our house. And I plan on taking an online college course this summer. So we are definitely keeping busy.
