Pirate Ship Park

Kevin was actually home for an entire day off. So we loaded up and went to Pirate Ship Park, per request of LJ.

It's a pretty cool boat that you climb on. It has a slide and a zipline and lots of other fun things.

There is also a smaller ship-like playground that Titus really enjoyed.

We stopped at the convenient store and got some icecream to eat....yum!

Titus really liked his!

Titus is getting huge.

This is one of Josiah's many faces. He is VERY expressive.

LJ is all into posing.

Josiah has a thumbs up. He always has to have at least one finger up in the photo.

It was a great, relaxing day.

Final few Weeks

I usually delete every pregnancy picture of me...I really do hate the reality of what I look like. However, I know many of you out there have never seen me in this stage of pregnancy. At least you now know that you aren't missing much =)

This is me two weeks away from my due date. Audrey took this picture and the angle is quite flattering.

Here is a side profile. The view in the background isn't so bad.

This is my way of remember that this is me with baby number 5...so sly!

Updated Finally!

Sorry it's taken me so long to update my blog. Life has been just a little crazy! I still need to get pictures off of Kevin's camera to get you truly updated, but here is the last month in a nut shell.

We had the Blakley's come and visit for the last 3 weeks. They are old friends from NC. When I last saw them she had 4 kids about my kids ages. Now they are all grown up. It was fun watching her with her clan, seeing what I have to look forward to in 5 years.

Kevin has been super busy with church stuff. He went for 5 days to mainland Japan a week or so after the earthquake to scout out the land. Then he was home for week, but at a Men's retreat for the weekend. Then he was holding down the fort at church while a couple of the other guys went to Japan and this week he went back for his second trip to help with the relief efforts. God is doing a great work up there. Please continue to pray for the hearts of those they are ministering to as teams continue to labor in Christ's name.

I'm a few weeks from delivering number 5. Technically, it could be any day. Not that I'm EVER early. But who knows. Supposedly this whole labor thing gets easier with each delivery. We shall see and only time will tell. Right now I'm trying to just enjoy the 4 that I have before adding another one to the mix. I am looking forward to seeing if the boys will continue to out number Audrey and me or if Audrey will finally get that sister she keeps praying for. I'll be sure to post pictures once I'm home from the hospital.

Titus

Titus is getting huge. I had quite a few pics of just him, so he is getting his own post this time around.

We look a lot alike in this picture with our squinty eyes.

He loves him some PB & J minus the crust, of course.

The Blakley's Fly Through

Our friends from NC got to Space-A through Okinawa on their way from Korea to Guam and back. It was so good to see them and hang out. Luckily, it took them 3 weeks to get a flight out of here back to their home, so we got to hang out for a long time. My kids loved hanging out with Selina's kids. It was fun to have a house full of children and great fellowship. We miss them tons and look forward to the next time God brings us together.

Here we are waiting for the dolphin show.

Checking out the fish.
Group photo
Packing out our awesome new van. This thing totally rocks and is a ton of fun to drive. It's huge and when it's loaded down with kids you can certainly get a lot of looks. We are thankful that the Lord provided such a smooth ride at such a great price. It use to be a taxi, so it has lots of bonus features: automatic sliding door, reclining seats for all passengers complete with individual drink holders, overhead lights controled by the driver, automatic curtains and it came with 4 complimentary umbrellas. Yep, it's sweet! And the best part is that I can buckle Josiah up through the sliding window and pull him out when he's asleep through the window without having to crawl into the van.

Kevin's been Traveling

In the past month Kevin has gone to mainland to help with relief efforts two times. We took this picture the day he left on his first trip. I still need to download the pictures from his camera and add them to the blog. It's been exciting to hear about all the doors God is opening to share the love the Christ with people who desperately need hope.

Dentist

The kids had their first trip to the dentist. They did a great job, however, many cavities were found.

LJ has two that need to be filled.

Josiah's smile was just fine.
Audrey is the big winner with 4 cavities. We will be going back next month to begin the filling process. Hopefully, her smile will be just as big next time.

Josiah Enjoying the Tub

Josiah was having a grand time in the tub, with his bubbles.
