Lake Oliver and my first fishing trip

This weekend, we went to Columbus for a family gathering. While we were there I asked Grandpa Ed to take me fishing. Of course he did and I even caught a fish. We went to Lake Oliver, which is on the Chattahoochee River, it is sandwiched between two Dams. Grandpa Ed has a really cool boat and I even got to drive it!
 
Here we are on the boat, only two out of four heard cheese.
That is the dam in the distance. So much rain it is running over the top.
Me and Daddy on log watch.
Finally fishing.
Me and auntie got a prime spot off the back of the boat.
Me driving. Look Mommy, only one hand.
Just before my first catch.
I am now a pro-brim wrangler.
My second catch. It is actually really big, just looks small, because I am a big kid.
 
We had a great time on the water. Next time I am sure I will catch something this big!

A trip to the oceanairum with Daddy and Auntie

There are days when I like wake up and want to see something. So that is all I talk about all day and this time it seemed to work. I wanted to see a shark and I got too! 
That is my first shark sighting in Florida.
I want to see the shark eat a fish!!!
Auntie and me looking at sea horses.
Me leading the way!
Another big shark!
A dolphin.
Me and auntie looking at the dolphins.
Sting rays playing chase.

Wonder what I will wake up wanting to see tomorrow! Hmmmm, maybe the moon!

Auntie Nomin's Birthday

I know these pictures are late and out of order, but hey. At least we are posting something finally. That is what happens when the computer crashes. Not fun.... But, still Auntie's birthday was fun and we got her an ice cream cake!  How is that for cool. Get it, ice cream is cool...any way. 
Auntie in shock that she is getting old. Like 32 or something.

She is not too old to blow out the candles.
I agree to take the picture so I could be closer to the cake!!!! Yummy....
 
FYI, my birthday is coming up and I want an ice cream cake too!

Mr. Christopher and his Mommy

The other day mommy had to get all dressed up to assist at a Retirement Ceremony for a fellow Officer. Since it was at the Armament Museum, which is one of my favorite places to visit, we showed up so we could get a couple of good pictures of mommy.

Daddy, Mommy and me. I am in the middle.

Mommy does not have to get to dressed up that often, so why not get a few pictures. After all she looks good in uniform and we are proud of her.

We finally got our picture and a new computer

As always, sorry for the delay in posting. We had a computer failure and have been rather busy. Got a new computer and had to figure out how to use it.
 
So in the next couple of days I will be working on updating.
 
The picture below is our formal picture from the 350th CACOM, Army Birthday Ball.
 
Chimge is in the United States Air Force, "Officer Mess Dress" and I am in my Army Service Uniform.
 
So stay tuned and we will see what we can find to post!

The Eglin Water Park!

After Mommy and Daddy got back from their weekend get away, they felt guilty for not taking me, so we went to the water park. I got to stretch me legs and get wet. It is a really fun park and  you can go see it if you ever visit!

Me on the water cannon protecting Mommy from the bad kids.

Splash!

Just me being me.

Daddy is stuck in the drain, so I am taking advantage and enjoying the water.

The fire department final came and got him, which was cool, I got to see the fire truck.

It was a fun time for all, Mommy, Daddy and Auntie.... Hope those two go some where soon so I can come back!

A night out with Lieutenant Young

This past weekend Chimge and I were able to have a night out. It was not your typical couples night out, but it was fun never the less. We attended the 350th CACOM's Army Birthday Celebration. The Army will turn 238 years old on 14 June 2013. I invited my wife to represent the United States Air Force at the Ball. So for the evening we were Major and 1st Lieutenant Young.

Here we are waiting to get inside. Dress Uniforms were not meant for the hot humid Florida weather.

Here we are with COL (R) Danny R. McKnight. He was the guest speaker for the event. If you do not know who he is, read or watch "Black Hawk Down" or his book "Streets of Mogadishu". He was the Commander of the 3rd Battalion 75th Ranger Regiment and led the rescue convoy to recover his soldiers.

Chimge and I at table #1, helps to sign up early.

Chimge and I with the 350th CACOM Commander, BG(P) McQueen.

Major Nonnemaker and I. He is the Commander of HHC 350th CACOM.

It was a fun night and we both got a chance to wear of fancy clothes. It was also the first time Chimge and I were able to get a nice formal picture since her commissioning on 27 Oct 2009. We were the second in line for the pictures and will post a nice one when we get it.
