All Kinds of Stuff

I have been a bit remiss about updating the blog. Actually, only missed about a month, but when you have a 4 and 7 year old, a month is a long time! Here are some things in order: Wennie roast at Pala Pala, Doris helping at GCA, Clark and Amaris playing Candyland, Clarks Science Fair project, AMARIS (one name), Fun at the Cliffs

Grace Christian Academy Spring Production

Clark and Amaris had their Spring Production. Here are the pictures and video.

Happy 7th Birthday Clark!

We celebrated Clark's 7th Birthday with his 1st Grade classmates at GCA. He got a new pair of inline skates. We had double choclate Oreo cake and ice cream. They all had a good time. He also got a water gun and more cake! The "Superman" ad was seen on channel 41 on MCV.

Basketball and Sleeping

It has been a good January for us. We have a new basketball goal. It's only 8 1/2 feet high, but it's fine for Clark (and me to). We have a junior basketball for him. He plays about every day. And Doris shoots hoops in the morning. We had someone make it for us for about $200. We can move it if we like.

Birmingham Saipan Christmas 2008

It was a great Christmas in the Birmingham house. Amaris was the first to wake up and ran down the steps to see her new pink scotter (see YouTube video) Clark got a skateboard (with protection)and a real basketball (we are having a basketball goal installed next week). It will not be sturdy enough to slam dunk, but if he's doing this, were moving back to the States and contacting the NBA. Amaris tried to sneak a "Santa Cookie". Santa might be better off if she did, but that's another story. They also got one of those dance games you hook up to the TV. Clark seems to have fun with it. We did our usual trip to the suicide cliffs with a Big New Yorker Pizza from Pizza Hut. The played with their toys. In the afternoon we went to see "The Tale of Desperaux". We all went to bed about 8:30pm and had a good night's sleep. Again, another great day on Saipan.

December 2008 Happenings

It's been a busy December. MCV Broadband had it's Christmas Party at the World Resort. Employees brought their families for the noon buffet and all day passes at the Wave Jungle Water Park! Clark went down the slides for the first time. He was little scared at first, but, as usual, once he did it once we couldn't keep him off. Amaris liked the kids area. We have gone several times, but this was the most fun they (and us) had. Video of Mom and kids going down the "lazy river". I got there early and had about two hours of swim time before they came. Also, pictures and video of Amaris's class party on the last day of school before Christmas. I also read to Amaris's and Clark's class the pop-up book version of "A Night Before Christmas". We also have some pictures of Carolers from Grace Christian Academy. They came by Friday night and did about a fifteen minute show. We were up on the balcony. Clark went down and starting banging some old toys together to keep time with the music. Christmas is in two days. I told them that bad kids only get a stick and a rock for Christmas. Well, it works for a while!
