Thank you Amber for taking the time to snap these amazing pictures-

Jason's mini is OVER!

We started the day waiting for Daddy and playing with friends at the CAC.
I love that Shane can see over the whole table and Emmy looks like Kilroy :)

After Jason finished, we CeLeBrAtEd at the pool and all got a bit of color.

Emmy has several favorite things to do at the pool ~ she loves to ride on

her Daddy's back, she loves to jump in (most days), she loves to play in the

outdoor shower, and she LOVES to be thrown in the air.

This is Emmy and I being soooo happy that the mini is over

and only the final is left for 3rd semester!! Sadly, I tried to take

this pic myself- I'm not very good at that...

more Dominican moments.

we cracked Emmy's egg- it was very fun.

I thought that I should capture the DEATH STAIRS-

we have almost lost several friends and their babies on these.

ANOTHER nasty, dirty water morning-

also, I LOVE that my soap's brand is called "Fantasy"

the little watcher from the balcony.

she is a little busy body...

Emmy is always on the balcony-

I happened to be on the ground floor and finally got to see that angle-

pretty CUTE!

Randoms...

little curly ques.

wow- the teeth...

A new fruit I discovered- I didn't like it much-

but I was excited to find something new.

the misty mountains!

here is the inside of the fruit-

it had a banana after taste but a funny texture-

like a pear and an avocado got married and had this little beauty.

this is one of the many reasons why Dominica is great...
yes- here is the magazine pile- Oct 2004- heck yes!

Family pictures in April

so, today at church my friend Paige wanted me to snap some pics of her family
she sweetly returned the favor and WOW,
I don't know whether the lighting was good- the camera liked taking pictures in a church-
or Paige is just a great photographer- ( I think it was a little of all three) -
but she got 3 VERY cute pics of our whole family-
I love that we all look happy AND have our eyes open AND we are looking at the camera-
this is a feat- THANKS Paige!


these are 2 different pics- I know they look the same- but they were both cute so hooray!

the SPRING Festival!!!

fun times! the spouse organization had a very fun spring festival-
I brought cookies and then played like crazy!

Emmy didn't get most of the games- but she did have a few faves :)

she won the cake walk- TWICE!

beach ball bowled like a CRAZY women!

Jason joined us for a cakewalk win a bit of bowling and PIZZA! woot woot!

they made these fun Confetti Eggs- hopefully this can be a new tradition- we'll have to see :)

It's Barrel time!!!

yes folks, we have received our FIRST and Second barrels!
sadly these will be our only Dominican barrels- but FUN times
are an understatement!

Emmy only napped for 30 minutes today-
at least this is the face that I get to look at-
or I might have to die of exhaustion.

one barrel worth of stuff- yes my father is the most amazing packer on the earth. :)

2 barrels worth of stuff- we even got Emmy's stroller and baby in-

what a happy reunion THAT was!

Let me say again- I LOVE #1 Beach! I just do :)

Shane and Kelly, Liz P. , Emmy and I , Amber and Lily, Becky and Jazz, Jacki and Keira,
Jessie and Hawken, Kim and Matix- what a fun group and we had a GREAT time!

Matix and Emmy having a romantic interlude-

JK! they really just loved their sticks :)

the cutie kiddos! Keira, Shaners, Lily, Emmy and Matix...

kind of funny that Keira is the only one with the darker coloring-

NOT normally the case.

little 1/2 smirky girl :) thanks again Jessie for planning such a fun trip

and Kim for being so generous :)

Emmy the little #1 Beach Swimmer! THANKS Jessie for the FAB video :)

Emmy loves bling!

if I ever can't find Emmy- this is where she is-
looking at and playing with and trying on my bling!
she spent aabout 30 minutes explore my treasure
chest the other day- I know! crazy attention span...
this comes in very handy when I need to do a task.
Emmy is such a girlie girl and I am so happy to have her :)

a windy day!

fun playground times with Daddy!

trying to fix the evil Scooter with Daddy/...

I love these pics- upside down glasses and one shoe- so so cute-

she also has an obsession with any kind of lotion or cream-

she loves to rub it on herself and smell it and sometimes eat it-

fun fun times :)

what a fun day :)

we got to play with Shaner tonight- what fun times!

Emmy and I got to cook- we made pizza and she loudly requested

"cheese" and "cookie" yay!

we also went to the hot tubs with Matix and Hawken- pics to come!

some Dominican moments- things that I want to remember.

this was the water out of the faucet today- it has since cleared up.

skyping with Booky.

my maid Fredericka labelled our garbage can- how kind.

the rainbow over the flag at Ross+ the palm tree- yay!

large ground lizards- love it!

cousins!

aren't they cute? yet again- poor Jett didn't make the pic- next time!
