You know you love the doggie pictures!

Just a girl and her puppy. 

Percy cracks me up.  He just backs into Levi till he can't back up any more, and then he sits.

Taking a drive.... with two dogs on Callie's lap.

Percy is getting so big, and he's getting that little ear up!

We keep taking pictures because we want to entice a nice family to adopt him and cute photos help!

Little bit of wrestling.   

And Percy makes himself comfy on Levi. 

Two cute dogs. 

The girls put the mermaid tail on top of the toys in this basket and Percy decided it was a bed for him! 

Look at this sweet face!

The Beach

 Josh had an assignment for English class.  He had a Thoreau paper to write and he was suppose to spend time in a noisy, high traffic area, and then spend time in a quiet place.  We dropped him off at a busy store and them went shopping ourselves. We picked him up and then headed to the beach.  He got his solitude while the girls and I played.  I confess though, we picked a poor day for the beach!  It was COLD!  It was windy and chilly. But this is Araha Beach.

There is this cool play area that the girls enjoyed.

 It had this sweet Zip line.

They enjoyed it very much! 

Look at me!  I'm at the beach! 

The girls were even willing to pose for me. 

Of course, there were trees, so they must be climbed. 

I love this girl! 

And Rylee hammed it up a little for me. 

I thought Callie and Delaney were cute here.  It was pretty.  Just cold.

Why Okinawa is a little bit cool.

So this happened.  We got Josh a car.  I know, crazy.  And if we were in the USA, he probably wouldn't have one at all till he bought it.  But here.... This bad boy was a total of $500.  $500 for the convenience of having him pick up the kids from school and not having to coordinate cars so he can go to the gym, yes please! 

This particular vehicle is a Honda Zest!  It is a small lightweight Japanese car with about 2 gerbils under the hood.  Josh said when he had 3 girls in the car it was struggling to make it up the hill.  Heh heh heh.  No speeding for him!

And as I drove home from the commissary I had a real treat!  Helos on the Field!  Props going and everything! 

I was all excited thinking this was a 46, but alas, it was not. It was still cool to see it.

Cute Dog Pictures!

Even Dan has decided Percy is cute and cuddly. 

Percy wants very badly to pass the barricade. 

Playing with Levi. 

Levi is still adorable! 

Why does he always look so sad?   

See, even when playing with Levi, he looks sad in his pictures.  But he is not sad!  He is having a blast!

The Annual Work Christmas Party

 Dan's Work Party was nice and early in the month.  Oddly, it was on a Tuesday night.  I did discover that the advantage to knowing no one at all at a party, is that it is really easy to go home at an early hour.  So that was a win.  They did have a traditional Christmas dinner, which was mediocre, but still good, since I didn't cook it!

They had a bunch of activities for the kids.  Rylee enjoyed decorating cookies. 

...And eating them.

Delaney worked hard on a popsicle snowflake. 

Marian entertained themselves with some interesting dance moves.  I was amused! 

Rylee made a candy-cane reindeer.   

This is how Josh enjoyed the event.
