Family at Fuji

Well here we are in front of a photo of Mount Fuji at least...

A Pretty Drive

One of my favorite parts of the Mount Fuji Tour we took was the nature scenes on the way there. Even though the weather report was forcast for sunny on the day we booked our tour, it was hazy and rainy/snowy. So we never really saw the mountain. Pretty disappointing, but there was the bright side. Look at this bright side why don't 'cha

What!?

One of Little Boy's interesting personality traits at the moment is that he fails to ever comprehend that he can possibly be wrong about anything. He has a beachball sized blind spot in this area. For example, he will be caught in the act of say eating forbidden cookies and when you say to him "why are you eating cookies?" He will reply "I wasn't!" in the most convincing way while chewing and swallowing. So here is Little Boy on the bus tour to Mt Fuji playing a newly purchased baseball game on his gameboy. He was having some difficulty with hitting the ball or something (new game you know), and he kept repeatedly shouting out "WHAT!?" like to the umpire in the game. Absolutley refusing to accept he was in the wrong (typically). So the tour guide is in the middle of telling us all about the sights and customs here in Japan, and she says that at this restaurant on our left we can purchase a reasonably priced meal for about 15.00 a plate. Juat at that moment Little Boy shouts out "WHAT?!" You had to be there to appreciate it.

Mount Fuji Fun

We recently took a vacation to Tokyo Japan. On our vacation we took a tour of Mt Fuji. This was a fun snowy stop we made. We haven't had this much snow in Seoul for 2 years.

Wonderfull

I couldn't agree morre!

Little Boy's Mishap

So Middle Boy had a run in with a tennis racket during PE and had to get 3 stitches. Luckily it wasn't a quarter inch in the wrong direction or it would have been a serious eye injury! The advantage here was that Dad could take out his stitches. The disadvantage was when the ER doc spent a lot of time making balloon animals out of the latex gloves telling us how he was the only doctor who could make such great animals and they were sadly disappointing.

Just because

Troy sent these when he found out I was having a bad day. It rocked my world!

Big Boy's poem...

The following is a poem that Big Boy entered in a library poetry contest. He did it for the extra credit offered from his language arts teacher. He actually won 3rd place in the contest and was given a 10.00 gift certificate. We are so proud of him, but he is pretty embarrassed at the poster sized poem they put up in the library. He says he doesn't want to be known as a nerdy poetry guy.

JUST A REGULAR KID IN THE ARMY

when you are in the army

you feel like a

ball that never stops bouncing

and the bouncing is giving

you a

splitting headache

and

you are getting torn away from the

ground that you love

and every once in awhile

you stay on the

ground that

you love

only to be ripped away

Big Girl's game face

I found this picture tonight, and could not resist posting it! This was actually during soccer season last fall. She is still just as feisty as this picture portrays.

Here is a lovely example of the mishaps that happen when the Korean's try to write things in English. Gotta love it when your dream comes ture (true)!
