Update on our Ohana (family)

Since our last post it seems like we have been very busy but then when I think about it, not really. During to week we didn't do much except on Zack's birthday we went to the movies and then to McDonalds, his choice. Then we just kinda went through the days til the weekend got here and then we went to the Bay again to go snorking (I will try to get Billy to put pics on later tonight, they are on his camera), to the North Shore for a drive out to the point and in to town to get shaved ice. This week I took Zack to get the rest of his shots for Kindergarten, then to spend some of his birthday money. They ended up not having the shots he need for right now so we just went shopping, Zack wanted everything but could not make up his mind so finally he decided on some bubbles, Spiderman action figures, and a toy cell phone that teaches him our phone number and his letters and numbers. He still has like $20 left. Zack and I met Billy a couple of times for lunch. I went to a Pampered Chef party last night and spent alot of money but still didn't make up for the amount Billy spent yesterday on wet suit seat covers for the Jeep. The seat covers will protect the seats from the dirt on the trails, the rain showers when the top is off and from our wet bathing suits, so I guess it is cheaper then replacing the seats someday, but not by much. We will be dropping the jeep off on Saturday morning for them to be installed while we are at Wet and Wild Hawaii for Justin and Kyle's birthday. So after Saturday we should have some pics of the jeep and of the water park and maybe some of the kids. :) Tonight I am going to play Bunko with the Enlisted Spouses Club it is our end of the year party. I know it is not the end of the year but when it comes to the elections for board members and also we don't have meetings or fundraisers and such until after the summer is over.
Also for those of you that don't know we finally got our house on base. It is one of the newer ones, we will be the second family living in it. So it is not brand new, but then maybe all the issues of a brand new house have been worked out. They come pack our stuff on June 9th and then we move in on the 12th, there is a gap in there because there is a Hawaii holiday. We are very excited and can't wait to be on base, the gym, schools, commissary, exchanges and Billy's work will all be close again. Kyle will be going to Washington (the state) to visit his best friend from Virginia, when we moved here they moved there. His parents bought Kyle a plane ticket to come over there for 9 days, so he will be there from June 5 til the 14th. Then the week after that we are going to NC for the boys to go to a camp for military kids. We are flying on military aircraft so depending on when we actually get there we may have time to take a quick trip down to Disney World but it will all depend on the timing of the planes. Once we get back from NC Billy will be leaving for Paupa New Guinea for like 60 days and during that time Aunt Susie will be coming, maybe Karen, Zack will start Kindergarten, Justin will start middle school and Kyle will start at a new middle school because we are moving. I think that wraps up everything for now, like I said I will try to get Billy to put some pics on tonight because I won't be here but it might not be until tomorrow. Aloha

P.S. Don't forget the Memorial Day is not just for vacations, time-off and BBQ's, it is for remembering the people who gave you the freedom to be able to do all of those things. And all the POW/MIA's that Billy goes out to look for in the countries he goes to. If you go to http://www.jpac.pacom.mil/index.php?page=home&size=100&ind=0 there are two new videos (March 2009) on what they have been up to. Billy is not in them because they focus on Vietnam in these but he is doing the same things.

So what did you buy at the pampered chef party? The seat covers will also help for when Billy pees himself in the car. Cause you know that happens all the time. :-) Wet N' Wild is going to be fun! I wish I was there!
