stinky gym

There was a water explosion at the gym a couple of days ago and it covered the entire first floor in two inches of water. they didn't know what to do so they blocked off everything with orange cones and frantically ran around trying to move the machines. It was actually pretty entertaining to watch. So I had to workout upstairs in the hot box.....It was HOT. Oh did i mention the gym is carpeted....ya...like the carpet you walk on before you go through security at the airport. Gross....even with shoes on....gross. So you can imagine how great it smells in there now. Mold growing, under damp carpet, in a warm gym.....I don't know how long i can workout there if they don't replace the carpet.

In other news, going to hit up the Macys friends and family sale today in hopes to finding Locke some clothes since he is growing soooooo much! Oh yes we have a Macys here. Did i tell you that? It's nice to have at least one department store even though it's not very big.

Got to get Clints lunch ready before he goes to work......

Christmas countdown

Only 3 weeks til we fly home for Christmas. Getting mentally prepared for the flight is on my things-to-do list. At least Clint will be on the plane with me. The flight home is completely booked meaning there is no chance of an extra seat for Locke =( oh well what are you going to do.

Lots of Christmas shopping to finish up this next week. Going to some sales tomorrow in hopes of finish up. I might try and go to Harry Potter on wed while Locke is at mothers day out. I really want to see it. I really would like to see anything! I haven't been to the movies in a loooooooooooong time. Clint has a Christmas party next Saturday for work. No babysitter, so it looks like Locke is coming with us. Should be fun seeing he won't sit down for more than 15 seconds. =0

We had a good weekend. Had a bedlam watch party at our place and then went to the beach afterwords. Now i am thinking we will order some Thai food for dinner!

Thanksgiving sunburn

It was very strange to go to the beach and get a tan before we ate Thanksgiving dinner. But, we loved it. It was a beautiful day yesterday. We hung out at the beach and ate dinner at 5pm. The food was great and fellowship was even greater! We had an awesome thanksgiving in Guam and now we can't wait to come home for Christmas in 3 weeks!

Locke helped me in the kitchen the last couple of days. We made apple pie, pumpkin pie, fudge, cookie bars, stuffing, mac and cheese, cheese ball, and maple bourbon whip cream! He loves pots and pans.....He takes them all out of the cupboard and then stands in them and then puts them all back.....He does this for hours! I'm glad he likes pots and pans as much as i do.

Clint has been surfing and paddle boarding alot. He went out for 2 hours yesterday and came back with a scratched up hand, back, and side....he says he is just "living". I'm glad he enjoys it so much.

This week i am going to start packing and figuring out what to take back home. The weather difference is going to make it tricky. We don't have any warm clothes to wear on the plane so I need to get Locke something warm to wear and i guess i need some long pants to wear too. All of our clothes are in storage in OK so we will have warm stuff once we get there but i keep forgetting that when we get off that plane it's going to be COLD! Locke only has crocs so i guess i should get him some warm shoes too or just some socks to wear with his crocs....styln!

well hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!

Go Cowboys on Saturday!

Thanksgiving in Guam

Sorry i haven't posted in awhile. I have been using that time to catch up on real housewives. We don't have bravo here so i have to get them from fastpass. Anyways, we have been spending lots of time on the beach the past few weeks because it has been beautiful out! Locke is learning to swim and loves riding on the paddle board with Clint. He also loves ridding with his new pals Gabby, JoJO, and Ezra. They have alot of fun on the beach together.





Clint had a little adventure with some 15 foot waves a couple of weekends ago. lets just say he went out and came right back in with a foot that looked like it was ran over with a lawn mower. There was a reason no one else was out in the water that day. The waves were unbelievable. I am glad Clint made it back in safe. His foot is a lot better.





This is the first year I will be helping prepare a Thanksgiving meal. I am use to just showing up and eating. I bought a 28lb turkey. It's in the freezer.....it's the only thing in the freezer now. We are going to have dinner with some of the neighbors. There are 3 or4 families getting together and we are all going to celebrate and be thankful together. I am excited. I will still miss being home but I am thankful for the friends we have to share with.





Ok well time to start dinner.....steak tacos!

mothers day out

So I have been looking for a mothers day out place for Locke since we got here. Just something that's once a week for 2 or 3 hours so he can be with other kids and I can be all by myself. After much research i talked to a neighbor who took her little boy to the Westin hotel kids center. I went and checked it out and it was perfect. I can take him anytime as long as i make a reservation a day ahead. I took him on Thursday from 1-4 and it couldn't have gone better.

The place is focused to Japanese tourist so there were alot of cute little Japanese kids and Locke. He stands out a little bit. Next time I will take a picture because when i came to pick him up it was snack time and about 25 kids were sitting around picnic tables, Locke's little blonde head was bobbling up down. it was precious. He liked it so much that he looked at me when i walked in, smiled, and then ran back to the play area because he did not want to leave. Cant wait to take him next week!

We have a new baby in the family!!!!! Sweet Max was born today. He is perfect. congrats to Kyle, Janelle, and Emma for the new addition to there family. I am so lucky to have a sweet nephew. We cant wait to see him at Christmas!

Tumble Time

Locke is really loving to get on top of stuff. I mean he stands on his toys, books, the bed ,couch, and really anything he can find he wants to stand on top of it. So,I took Locke to a kids Tumble, play-place on Wednesday. It was ........funish. It was a big giant room with balls, mats, and slides. It kept his interest for....like 30 minutes. Like his dad, he gets bored very easily. But it was fun for something different to do. I met a lady who has a 2 year old son and takes him to a mothers day out type program to afternoons a week. This is exactly what i have been looking for! I just want Locke to get to hangout with other kids his age on a regular basis. So we will be checking into that next week!

Not a whole lot going on here. It's been raining alot. Clint likes it though because it causes big waves for him to go surfing. Oh he got another board....Not a paddle board but a surf board. He loves it! He met some other local people who surf and has been trying to go out with them every morning "to catch some waves". I'm glad he likes it.

We met some really nice people who live in our complex and they are having there wedding reception in the front of our complex today. It looks like a big celebration! It will be fun to see how the local people throw a party and get to try some of there local foods.

Oh our Thai place opened back up last night. It's a whole new crew of people. I guess the lady who use to run it went back to Thailand. It was still really good. I am glad it's open. It's nice to have somewhere in walking distance for great Thai food.

Our Thai Resturant closed

We were driving back from picking up Clint from work the other day and realized Patataya(the neighborhood Thai restaurant) was closed! There was a sign "closed, new management". The thing is this family of like 4 people owned the joint so we aren't sure whats going on. It is awesome food though. It's just a 6 table, hole in the wall place. If you want something to drink they take it out of the fridge in the dining room. It's small, but awesome! A dude takes your order and there is a cook in the back that throws it together and it is awesome! It's always crowded. we usually have to wait half an hour or so to get our food because they cook it as you order it so you wait you have to wait your turn.

It's our go to take out place! hope it opens back up soon!!

In the mean time we checked out this other Thai place(there are allot of them, like Mexican places in OK) it was kinda scary. They also sold used DVDs and cigarettes in a see through glass shelf. The food was not so good. oh well

Locke is really taking interest to the slide outside. Clint took him on and let him go down by himself.....he came down upside down. OH well he is learning
