Lots of Stuff

In April we had our Awana Grand Prix at church, Tara's dedication, then we had our mother daughter banquet the first Saturday in May. I actually didn't want to take Tara with me...bad I know, I wanted to just sit back and relax, selfish of me I know. So the day before the banquet I tried giving her a bottle but she wouldn't take it so I had no other choice but to take her. Well, she ended up being so good...such a joy and I'm so thankful that I did take my little girl with me! She napped well, nursed great and talked loudly threw the prayer and devotion time, it was funny to everyone. :c) Then Sunday we fed cereal to Tara for her first time! Everything has been a lot of fun and firsts! Here are some pictures...

Josiah didn't win 1st, I think he came in last every time but he still had fun!


Tara's baby dedication...she did great...cheezin' threw most of it!

We also went to Pizza & Sky in April with some friends from church. It is a Japanese place up on the northern part of Okinawa. It was actually really good! I really didn't think that Japanese pizza would be that good to be honest, but it was! Not only was the pizza good but the view was awesome! Here are some pictures from that...

So April was a great month...who knew it would turn out to be so good when I thought it would be depressing since we missed out on going to the states. I guess God is showing me that even the valleys in our lives are beautiful...not just the mountain tops!
