Teaching Jumping Lessons!

The Fall Show at Mihara Horse Club (where I am the manager) ** is in October so I have been giving alot of my girls jump lessons!!! I took a few pictures this morning with Emily, Julie, Erina & Kincade!

Emily is jumping Makoto. We are working on getting him up and over the jumps, he tends to be lazy.... Once he gets going he can jump the sky!

Julie is jumping Sky. He LOVES to jump and wont turn away a thing! I am working with Julie's seat postion and keeping her upper body from going forward (this picture is a good example of her being too hunched over!) !! But she is improving every lesson!

This is Kincade on Sky! She gets lessons from Yama (Japanese instructor) and can jump Rocky the pony 3ft. But I soon found out this morning that she has NEVER jumped a horse. So I had her get on Sky and showed her what it was like to jump...for real! She has a new favorite horse now! I think she is 11 yrs old? somewhere around that age!

The begging of our Fruit Stand! lol

We bought a baby apple tree! It was $20 and we got a okinawan looking pot to plant it in. The kids water it and we try to keep the pigeons from eating all the baby apples! ;) We have alot of new blossoms to bloom!

More on our trip to the states...later!

And our journey began!

July 5th we headed out on a military hop from Okinawa, Japan destine for McChord AFB, Washington.

That is all the blogging.. for now! I have to go to work!

TO BE CONTINUED....

The Fourth Of July

The day before we went to the states, we went to the 4th of July festival on the flight strip @ Kadena Air Base! We got to get up close and personal with all the planes, copters, jets, weapons and rock stars ( Eve 6)! ;)

Fun in the Sun!

Another, from before we went to the states! This water park is a blast. The kids love it, it is nice and relaxing and isnt expensive. Definitly a summer favorite! I am pretty sure I did another post about this place, when Chris was here!

Where to start!!! ;)

First, lets catch up on some older pictures that never got posted before we left! Josh and Chris went on there fishing charter (see old post) Josh came home and cooked us some FRESH mahi mahi.mmmm so good! And i dont usually like fish! And note to yourself, just HOW sunburnt Josh and Chris were... and he still cooked! LOL

Home Sweet Home.

We are back in Okinawa, and pretty well adjusted to the time change. (I think i had a harder time than the kids, with the time change!) I am busy with work and completing daycare paperwork. Fischer starts Japanese Preschool on Sept. 1st and Kennedy starts at-home day care on the 25th. She is going to be taken care of by a friend of mine that runs a daycare. I am taking both the kids to get shots this morning. And next week I have Summer Camp for kids @ the barn. So busy, busy, busy! I promise I will get pictures up soon! (Josh took his computer to work and that is were all the pictures are at)

Love you all!

Talk to you soon!

Us!

WOW! Time Flies....

So we headed to the states on July 5th and are on our way home! We got to visit with family and friends and now it is back home... Which out of all seriousness... I cant wait to be home! I have a jammed packed schedule for the next few weeks with work and the kids getting into preschool and daycare! But I will sooner or later get pictures up and blogs of our trip!

Bad News... I couldnt catch a military hop back to Okinawa and I have met my deadline that I need to be back to work.. Soooo, we had to buy 3 (yes 3!) commercial tickets to get back home. Fischer Kennedy and I leave early in the morning to head back with a stop in Taiwan.

It was nice to see all of you and will be back on here, shortly!

Love you all!
