November & some December 2014

Irene came to stay with us November 4th!  We have had lots of fun having her with us this holiday season.  We got to carve pumpkins, have Thanksgiving baking and dinner with our ward, and lots of trips to the beach.  Here are some pictures of our fun times in this very warm winter.

Carter was so excited to finally carve pumpkins.  It was November before we actually did it.

Sad face pumpkin and Irene.  This was her first time carving pumpkins!

Dededo beach.

Caleb loves his blanket so much.

Such a Carter face.

Boys.

All of us in Merizo.  Carter is drinking Coconut juice.  Yum.

Bri and Carter at a Merizo lookout.

Irene, Carter, and Caleb at the Inarajan pools.

We had to climb up this sketchy ladder and steep stairs to get to the lookout point at Inarajan pools.  It was worth it though!

View at the Inarajan pools.  So cool!  It has several cool swimming spots.  We will go swimming there one of these days.

Our family at the Inarajan pools on a Sunday afternoon.

Michael and Caleb at the Inarajan pools.  We really enjoyed the view there.

Happy Caleb at the Inarajan pools.

Carter and Caleb exploring the jungle on the edge of our yard.

Carter next to the chicken's nest in our front yard.  He scared the chicken away and we took the picture.  A few days later they hatched.  We have loved watching all of the baby chicks that have hatched lately.  The baby chicks and our newly planted garden make it feel a bit like spring.

Carter and Caleb love their train set from Grammie.

Grandpa, Nohno, Sid, Leah, Trishia, Kiari, Kiatrish, Irene, Michael, Carter, and Caleb.  It was so good to see family as they passed through Guam coming home from the temple in the Philippines.

Carter with our squash seedlings that were planted on Saturday, December 13 and the picture was taken Wednesday, December 17.  They popped up very quickly! The sticks around it are to keep the chickens from digging them up.
