Shane is 12!

It's so hard to believe that our ShaneBoy is already 12 years old. Time sure flies when you're having fun. That's Shane's outlook on life. Always having fun! He usually looks for the best in things, is quite the energy giver, always has a smile on his face, and still loves riding horses. He has also come to enjoy many of the adventures here on Guam. He enjoys "boonie stomping" , snorkeling, swimming, wading in the tide pools, flying remote control planes-thanks to Dad, playing the ukulele, and making people laugh. He also loves to eat, and calls himself "husky". There's not much that doesn't make Shane smile. It's a joy to watch him grow!

David Scott Edward Prince Handsome Cowboy Giese

It's so hard to believe that my (our) little man is already 7 years old.He is a very easy-going, lovable, trustworthy, kind, energetic, and if I do say so myself (I'm his mom) very smart. He loves to be outside, anywhere, anytime. Loves to swim, ride his bike, snorkel, eat sushi, pizza, and hotdogs with lots of catchup. He enjoys watching movies and having a bowl of ice cream or a black cow on Friday nights, Aikido, Lego creations, cooking, animals, school, climbing trees, his family, and has a great imagination. Overall, he's a typical little boy who loves the Lord Jesus, and shows that love to his family and friends. We're so honored to have him in our family. He is the bottom of 8 kids, he knows it, loves his position in the family, sometimes uses it to his advantage, and has a special place in all of his brothers' and sisters' heart.

July 4th, 2010 All American Meal

We were honored to have our neighbors share an American meal with us. We had steak, baked potatoes, salad, rolls, glazed carrots, and of course apple pie and banana pudding. "Oshi-dez" means YUMMY in Japanese!

July 4th Picnic #2

This is our prayer, that God will Bless America, in all her glory and shortcomings. That we can, as Americans pray 2Chronicles 7:14; "If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land."

He's too good of a sport if you ask me.

Spring Break 2010

Spring Break 2010 started off with a Boonie Stomp down to Sella Bay and saw the Old Spanish Bridge once we got down there. We went with another family and packed a picnic and snorkel gear. We all had a great time, and enjoyed our time at the bottom. Coming up was another story, and we all stopped for a slushy at Circle K. Each day we went to do something special. CJ was able to join us on many of our adventures, though spring break for him was the next week.

Around this Beautiful Island

Greetings all! We have captured these photos from around the island, from sunrise to sunset....."They who dwell in the ends of the earth stand in awe of your signs; You make the dawn and the sunset shout for joy. " Psalm 65:8 (I was having fun with the collage portion of Picasa)

Out for dinner at CHILLI'S on Guam.

Having a great time....there's no place else like CHILLI's

Family Photo

We had the honor of attending a wedding here on Guam. It was a wonderful celebration, and we decided to snap a quick photo of all of us, since we were in wedding clothes.

Beautiful Wild Orchid

Begining at the End

WEll, we are all back together again, and have been back on this beautiful island for about 5 weeks now. The kids are going to Harvest Christian Academy, it's so hard to leave them each day. NellieMae is at home working on her Junior year. CJ is at Guam Community College, full time, working towards an associate degree in computers, and working maintenance at Harvest Baptist Church, full time. We don't see him much. Carl has a great schedule, and home often, and able to help keep things running. I'm getting stronger each day, and I actually feel stronger now than I did when I arrived.
