Book Review

Stephanie recommended this book on her website and of course they were sold out for a while. I finally ordered a copy on Amazon. I thought it was interesting, it caught my attention long enough to finish it in a day and a half. It's not that long of a book, almost 400 pages. So if you want a quick and intriguing read, this one is good. The second book comes out in September.

Coraline

We usually really enjoy Tim Burton's strange humor in his movies. We especially enjoy his movies paired up with Danny Elfman doing the score. Coraline, to me, was a dissapointment. Yes it was similar to all the other typical Burton movies, except this time it was a little creepy. And I did not like the score, it was not done by the above mentioned. Who knows, I still might end up buying it, Jenna loved it.

Forrest Gump: Lieutenant Dan, what are you doing here?

Forrest Gump: Lieutenant Dan, what are you doing here? Lieutenant Daniel Taylor: I'm here to try out my sea legs. Forrest Gump: But you ain't got no legs, Lieutenant Dan. Well Lt. Dan found his sea legs and some how made all the way across the Pacific to Oahu Hawaii. For those who don't know, he has a band called Lt. Dan's Band. They do a bunch of cover songs. They performed for free for the military on the marine corp base Friday night and also on the Air Force base at Hickam Saturday night. Unfortunately Kip had to work so I went with a friend and her family. We had a great time. They did a couple of Fougerty songs, a couple Hendrix and one Led Zeppelin (of course no one can imitate those awesome guitar solos like Jimmy Page). The kids had a blast dancing the whole time to the music.

LIfe in Paradise

So it looks like that it is pretty certain we will be here till next January. So those of you lolly gagging around about coming out better hurry up, we will be here no later. Then off to the mainland we will go. We will find out in July whether we will be going to our next base or palace chase.

Dress Up

My baby is growing up more and more each day, where has the time gone? She is everything girlie for sure. She loves to make anything and everything into a necklace, especially her papa's tie or a belt. She loves to put on everyones shoes and dress up. She is just so dang cute!

Oh, For the love!

Kip thought it was a good idea to give the girls chocolate in the car because both of them were a little sad. And of course it was in our new car we have had for about a month! Now he is assigned to cleaning and detailing the cars.

A day at Sea

Monday we went out to Kaneohe Bay on a boat with some friends. We had a good time cruising around the bay. We stopped off at the sand bar in the middle of the bay and let the kids get off the boat and play. Later we found a spot by a reef for Kip and his friend to scuba diving. Kip has been bugging me for the past 3 years to get certifed, I can't tell how excited he is to have another friend who is certified to dive.
