Daytons vocabulary has really blossomed over the past few weeks as he has become our little mocking bird, repeating everything he hears. Tonight at the dinner table we were talking and everything we said he would ask for it, we were talking about food and everything I mentioned he would say "I want tomatoes!" or "I want cake!" so Keegan asked him if he wanted Barbies? His reply "I don't want Barbies, Barbies are eeeewww!

How I killed my favorite Green Shirt
I have had this green shirt for a very long time, much longer than what I should have. It had lost it's shape, had a few bleach spots and was overall not very attractive. Bu tI still wore it, all the time. I wore it Saturday night when we had friends over for dinner and to play the Wii.

Naha Bingata Factory
Keegans 2nd grade class took a field trip to the Bingata factory down in Naha. Bingata is a traditional Okinawan textile. They use stencils and dye to create these beautiful pieces of fabric.


Keegan was very happy to not be at school that day!



The process right to left. The kids were given step 2 and did step 3, the rest will be finished by the workers and the kids should get them in time for Mothers Day gifts.

Little cups of paint.
Some graffiti on the tablecloth in front of me.

Happy Birthday Braden!
February 21st Braden turned 5 years old. We celebrated with a small party at the park complete with great friends, chocolate cupcakes and a bouncy house. The best birthday he has ever had, that's what he said.
He hit the jackpot with several great gifts, his favorite was getting enough money from Mamaw Mary and Aunt Tessia to buy an iPod shuffle. It is bright green and his prized possession at the moment. He has really surprised me by taking great care of it.
He also loved what our friends John Grayson and Addy gave him. When he opened the envelope he yelled, "A THOUSAND MONIES!!" Yes it is 1000¥, close to $10USD.

I need to blog
I know I do, and I have so many little stories I want to tell, but where oh where do I find the time? Lately any extra minutes that can be used for my internet addiction, are given to facebook. It's a wonderful and sinful thing. Laundry piles up around me as aI chat with a friend from back home or a cousin I haven't seen in ages. Speaking of said cousin, he is going to be my neighbor soon! Ok, maybe not my neighbor neighbor, but he will be here on the island in August. I am so excited! We haven't seen each other in 13 years or so, it will be wonderful to catch up and to have real family here for the holidays. He is in the Marine Corps and will be on an 8 month deployment here, so will actually leave just a few months before us. I can't wait to show him around the island, introduce him to my family, and then use him for babysitting. That's what family is for, right? No?
