Beach, Snorkeling, Camels...what more do I need?

Our latest trip to the beach was great! We saw some really awesome things. I went snorkeling and saw a sting ray…it was Awesome! We got to see lots of amazing fish that day because it was so clear. Including a huge grouper that was close to our size! AHH it was so cool. We even found Nimo! On our drive we saw tons of camels…more than usual and we even had the chance to snap some pics of the countryside living. It was awesome to chill out!
Speaking of beach! We taught that word in class today.....Um yeah, lets just hope these women don't try to use that word because they are really going to offend some people I think! HAHA. :)

Little H!

The baby of the family. This is Little H…and she is a year old now. She was born shortly after we moved here last year. She is precious and loves to smile and clap!

Obstacles are always in the Way! :)

Hmmm…so what do you do for entertainment here??? You create your own Obstacle Course! After walking thru the house and trying to use every room possible as a part of the course, it finally came together and I was able to concoct a “si fiican ah” obstacle course! J and I videoed our first runs of it! HAHA…needless to say it was wild and well of course awesome! After we did it once we tried to beat our time…and we both beat our times! OH YEAH! So it started out in my room…you had to stand on the far corner of my bed. When the time began…I ran across my bed and jumped on the floor (I know mom and dad…you said no jumping on the bed…so I ran instead! J) After that I ended up in the hallway with 32 marbles, 3 ping pong balls and a bouncy ball…that I had to corral and put in the laundry basket. From there I had to duck under a scarf tied to a chair and J’s door, then do a body bounce off of the exercise ball. Then I ran into the hallway and went thru the tunnel and into the living room, where I had to stack 4 cushions on a chair. After that I had to run and jump over an upright cushion, grab this pipe and spin around it 5 times…then I went to the other side of the table and zigzagged thru some things and jumped another cushion. I ran to the laundry room, picked up the Frisbee and had to make it into the box…then back into the hallway, pick up the volleyball, do 5 bumps and then run thru JJ’s room, around the chair and out into the hallway and on to the kitchen. I had to stack up 4 cups, hit up the hallway again and go thru the tunnel and touch the closet door. OH YEAH! It was rockin awesome! We will accept any challengers.

Mountain Time

So I took a little mountain retreat…it was a beautiful day to just chill out with the King and be on a mountain to pr over the land. I even got some sun! It was so awesome and beautiful.

Valentine's Day!

So J and I had a nice dinner, and by nice I mean we cooked up some Thai food! It was good for our 2nd Valentine's Day in Africa. HAHA...we ended up watching Hitch afterwards, cause that is just a great movie no doubt!

The Birthday...Muffins!

So JS made some birthday muffins and well they were great! I kept laughing as i was trying to blow out the candles! HAHA...yeah imagine that! The team definitely threw a great party!!

The Gifts!

Great gifts no doubt! Thai food from the states, Pop-tarts and peanut butter, granola bars....yeah apparently my team really wants me to eat! HAHA. But hey JS also got me fake poop! Now that is awesome! :) And AS packed the gift in a bag that said, "Let it snow!" which is so appropriate for me because well....I love the cold so much. (RIGHT) Definitely some good times!

The Festivities!!!

So for the big day I made whole wheat tortillas...yeah they look burnt, but they are just dark...and yo...they were good! We had a nice game of "I love the 80's", yeah J and I totally lost! But hey it was still fun. So we had dinner, a game, and total chill time, it was rockin!

The Decorations!

The wonderful decorations....yeah we turned the fan on too and it looked really awesome with the streamers on it! Our friend Mary came the next day and said that our fan was dressed up! HAHA! So yeah these are the festive decorations of the big bday! I have now spent 2 bdays here in Africa! YEAH!
