Bugle Bryton!

BUGLES!!!

Hey remember the first time you had bugles?
I do, my sister Karri and I put them on all of our fingers and pretended they were claws, or that we had witch hands.
It was just as fun watching Bryton find the joy in these little and delicious snacks as I did.

bazillion degrees

So, I've got a minute to catch my breathe. I thought I would let you all know what's going on here.
first off, it really is a bazillion degrees over here!!! The humidity really kills ya. Being from Utah I honestly don't think I knew what humidity was, something like shower steam I guess. It quite literally takes your breathe away. I'm not complaining (maybe a little) I'm sure that it's better than freezing my butt off in Alaska. It does make for good beach weather!
Nothing is really new here. I am looking into getting nose surgery so I can breathe through it again. but probably not until after the summer.
Business is keeping me busy, and that's about it!

Botanical Gardens!!!

1 year left

Hi Everybody
We are still here in Okinawa, Japan for one more year.
Okinawa is BEAUTIFUL! It quite literally is a jungle out there! Among the trees and vines that we can see all around there are fabulous tropical flowers, pinks, reds, oranges, yellows, and purples. In fact one of our favorite places to go is the Southeast Botanical Gardens. It's an amazing place that truly shows off the splendor of plant life here on Okinawa. I will be sure to post some pictures.
I am getting better at speaking Japanese, although understanding Japanese proves to be a little more difficult. I'll keep on studying and hopefully by the time I leave I can impress all of you with my bilingual skills.
Jason is doing great in his job of avionics maintenance and electronic warfare systems for the C-130s. He made the rank of Senior Airman this past February and really is doing well in his shop.
Bryton 4, is really enjoying swimming and loves to go to the pool or beach. We are hoping that she can start an all day preschool this coming school year. Bryton really likes the idea of going to "the big kid school".
I am trying to keep busy with my Family Child Care business. At times I will have 6 kids in one day and other times I will just have one. It really is a great opportunity to work and stay home with Bryton at the same time.

That's all for now
We miss you all
