There isnt a whole lot of new things to say since i just posted like 3 days ago. We went up to the rental house this weekend, went to the beach, went swimming in the pool, had a good time.
Nao tenho muito a dizer agora. Neste final de semana a gente fui ao norte parte da isla para passar tempo em uma casa alugada com piscina. A gente fui para a praia tambem, muito divertido.

More of Tim's Shenanigans

So lately Timmy has learned to give thumbs up, but i havent gotten a picture of that yet. He has his cool guy pose, where he will cross his arms, and his cute pose where he will put his hands over his mouth. the pictures of the poses arent great, but what is funny is he will do these poses whenever you ask. He also will clean up after himself if you tell him to, for example, he likes to be a punk and pour his milk on the floor, but if you say, "Timmy, clean it up" and throw him a rag, he will wipe it up. He also has a big box/tube thing of blocks that he likes to knock over, and if you tell him to go clean it up he will (for as long as his 16 month old attention span will allow him too anyway). He likes to put on his cool guy hat by himself (the blue hat in the other post). He also has a very assertive personality, and if he wants to go outside, he will wrap his arm around your leg and try to drag you to the front door(and if you have ever met him, you would know that he is a very strong little boy), where he will hold out his feet for you to put his shoes on. I have also learned from him that he doesnt like to have sand or dirt on his hands. We were at the beach, and he took a spill on some cement, that looked like it hurt, but Tim didnt seem to mind, that is, untill afterward when he realized that his hands were covered in sand. I have since taught him how to wipe his hands off with his pants, but before that, sand on his hands would infuriate him.

busy weekend

this snake staring at us a cobra, and is only about 10` from us with just that little 1 foot tall plexiglass thing, really cool stuff. This was at the Habu Museum at Okinawa World on monday(today)

These Gorgeous snakes are called Habu, a specie of pit vipers. Super poisonous. Come on Cameron, get your but over here and lets catch some.

Timmy being handsome, no explanation needed.
We went to this beach on sunday after the house
This is our brand new car, a 2008 Diahatsu Esse. its little, but it is awesome, and has great gas mileage. her name is Sexy Blue
on Monday(today) we went to Okinawa World and visited the gyokusendo cave. it was cool.



so this is a recent picture of Timmy in his cool guy hat, pretty handsome eh?
This weekend we went with Shoko's parent's and some of their friends where they rented this house with this pool. we had a lot of fun, but i learned the hard way that you have to take a small steps when introducing a small child to a swimming pool. Jumping into the deepend just pisses them off.

So I keep hearing that I need to create a blog so that everyone can hear how we are doing (haha specifically Timmy), So here it is. We have been in Japan for a little over a year now, and are living in Naha. Timmy is getting older and cuter everyday. He is a very bright little boy. If you ask him to touch his nose in both English, or Japanese, he can do it. If you say Konichiwa to him, he will bow. You can also ask him how old he is in either English or Japanese to which he will hold up one finger. His latest Phrase of choice is “Sgoy Ne?” (baby version of Sugoy Ne, which means cool huh? Or cool isnt it?) He says it all the time.
Shoko teaches basic computer classes to old people, and I teach English classes to everyone from little kids to adults. I don’t know what else to tell you right now, so untill next time.
