Ryland and Troy

This is Ryland's friend, Troy. He is 12 days younger than Ryland and was born on the island of Palau, a small island south of Guam. He's the son of an awesome couple that were blessed to have a child a different way than some, by adoption. Isn't he such a cute baby!?! Ryland looks like a giant compared to him! Oh and that red stuff on Ryland is dermatitis (Eczema) if you were wondering. I think I might have to bring him to the dr for that since it's getting worse. Anyhow, my friend Theresa is babysitting Troy while his mommy and daddy run a marathon so she decided to bring him over for a playdate. See more pics in the album.

Under the Sea

Logan and Chris went on a submarine today for his birthday...only one month later! He had a really good time. The sub holds about 30 people and they went to a depth of 120 feet. Above is a picture of a bunch of divers that they saw at around 40 feet near one of the fish feeders. Check out the album for more pictures. I wasn't able to load a video onto this post but they are also in the album.

Men at work

I just had to share this video since it's so cute. Tyler likes to help when we're cleaning so we shorten the handle for him.

The Next BIG thing!

Last night we went to Carmen's Restaurant to enjoy an evening of entertainment and good food. My friend Theresa's girls performed a few songs, their first gig. They were awesome but they only sang a few songs...we wanted MORE! I think that they might be performing again sometime in the next few weeks and we look forward to seeing them. Below is a sample.

Sam The Cooking Guy - BBQ Chicken Pizza

This guy is my new favorite chef to watch. I love cooking shows and stumbled across this one on Discovery health (not a channel I watch a lot). He's an every day cook...not pretentious, just real. I watched him burn his fingers on a grill today...so funny! (poor guy!) But what I mean to say is that he cooks healthy meals with normal items, that you can pronounce and he does it flawed...just like me!

Coconut Crab

This was found outside a hanger on Andersen Air Force Base here on Guam. These crabs are the largest hermit crabs in the world. They can not swim but they live near the water. Their claws are so strong that they can crack a coconut(they eat the meat inside)...hence the name Coconut Crab. The locals catch these guys when they are small and keep them until they grow and eat them. I've known some people to kill them by putting them in the freezer. I think that the only way this guy was going to fit in a freezer is if it was a walk-in type! I certainly hope that I don't see one of these things when I'm walking down the street. I've seen some at night when driving but never this big. Isn't Guam interesting?!?!

Halloween

Last year we decided not to do trick or treat but this year we did. The boys were Transformers with great thanks to Mammaw and Pap pap for getting the costumes! They loved them so much and we only saw one other kid with the same costume due to the fact that they are not even on Guam yet. Trick or treating was fun although Tyler started out saying "Trick or Treat!" but by the fourth house he just walked up and put his hand out. He refused to put it in his bag also. So all night long he had a fist full of candy. Logan was Mr. Brave and would go up to the houses by himself even if kids were running from it screaming. I guess his mind was focused on the chocolate he would get and a little scare wasn't going to stop him!

Here's Ryland and dad trick or treating. Chris was pretty enthusiastic to wear the Baby Bjorn which he usually isn't. I figured out why after I went up with the boys to a house and practically got my pants scared off of me! Ha Ha....dad's no dummy!

This picture was taken at the Hospital Halloween party for the kids. They had a good time but Tyler was NOT liking his costume. I'm sure he was hot, poor thing! He was in it for a total of two minutes and I didn't even put his arms in it! This costume was Logan's when he was a baby.

My three handsome boys. Ryland's brothers love him so much. It kind of reminds me of that crazy little girl with Bugs bunny..."I'm gonna love you and hug you and squeeze you and kiss you and never let you go!!!" All the while poor Bugs is trying to get away from her. Yep. That's how it is in the Morrison household for poor Ryland!
