All in a Nutshell

Since the New Year has begun a lot has happened over here for the Sobeks! First off Josh started Basketball for the first time and loving it! Hailey has been doing JPO and actually won an award for JPO student of the Month for excellent community service!! Awesome job to my Hailey bug=-) The twins are active and alive as ever, loving school and making messes is their specialty. David is still on days and we have some potential places to go..crossing our fingers it is in the summer, but it might just have to be in the winter. We put in a request to "curtail" for the summer, but we won't find out for another couple of weeks. (it just means we are requesting to leave early, usually people are assigned to other units when they leave ahead, but David being on the medical side, you are not attached to anyone).

The picture up top was when we went out to celebrate some friends' b-days. It was a lot of fun, we went to Gordon Bierch at the Aloha Tower. I am also proud to report that my working out is paying off, and I was able to fit back into those cute jeans!

We have had some incredible hurricane like weather here this month. My kids had to wear pants/jeans everyday to school this week which is rare. We actually had thunder/lightening. A lot of flooding, and downed power lines, houses lost due to mudslides because of it. At one point they didn't even deliver mail or pick up trash due to inclement weather. Here is a clip from our backyard.

I was trying to catch the lightening..but you only see a little bit. The rain comes down sideways and the wind picked up for the first time (since we've been here). It reminded me of back home=-) BTW the little blurb of the rainbows in the kitchen was of the girls interpretation of how to make one..did you notice one was in a circle with all the colors mixed and one was a rainbow, but the colors weren't in order. Too funny that my girls are so opposite!
