Fun in the Sun

He's after something/someone?

Go Devin Go..

Realizes he doesn't want his cap on.

So tired...

Sweet!


We decided to go to Lost Paradise before the weather gets extremely hot! Cody invited two of his friends Yousef and Qosai. They had a blast! In order to get into the water park you must have a wrist band. I haven't been to a water park in a while (in the states)but you can add extra dinars to the wrist band in order to purchase snacks in the park. This makes it very convenient for parents. Devin had a good time. He stayed on schedule by taking his a.m. and p.m. naps. As the day went on he got more and more confident. We went to our regular snack bar and Percival was working again. He's such a nice guy. He wanted Cody & I to wear his hat in the photos. He has been in Bahrain for only 2 months.
There is less than a month for our trip back home. We are so excited and can't wait to see all of you!

Swine Flu

I am so excited about the cure for swine flu! I will take the vaccine when it is in a pill or shot. Right now it is only available as an "oinkment".

Bahraini Indoor Soccer League Kick-Off




Win! Cody +his 4 Bahraini teamates had their first indoor soccer game yesterday as part of a short season before the summer and won 4-1. It was a good game. Cody had 2 goals and played really well. They will play an 8 week season with 2 games each week prior to summer break.

This past week at Cody's school they had Fun day where they set up all kinds of relay and game events where the kids (and parents) could have competitive fun. It was a blast. The day was concluded with a picnic lunch with all of the kids and parents.

Windy Day

Winds and dust storms are common here. We had winds gusting this week where one of our small trees in our front yard split in half. The yard guys were right on top of the clean-up right after it fell.

Today we introduced Devin to his Baby Einstein videos. He really does enjoy them. Thank you Rachelle!

A Very Sad Day

Please keep our family in your prayers. I just received word that my Abuelita (Dad's Mom) past away last night.

Lost Paradise Water Park












We had a day in the sun and water today. We all went to Lost Pardise water park in Bahrain which is very similiar to Schliterbahn(sp) in Texas. Cody and one of his friends from school hit every ride in the park over and over and over. Devin was a great sport too and loves the water. He looked like a beach boy in his new swim gear. He was pooped and had to take an afternoon nap but woke up before the park closed and hit the water again 2nd time around. I think mom and dad was as tired as anybody.
