Life as a Mad Max 

Mini Reunion

Here is Aunt Debbie. I know she is going to love it when she sees that she is on the internet. Haha. we all had a wonderful time time together, had a great dinner, and played countless hours of games.

And here is Grandma Maxwell. She must have the best smelling feet of all time. Auggie would not stop going after her feet. he would just lick em raw. hahaha! i don't know how many times i shooshed him with my feet and pushed him away, but no matter what happened he would always make his way back. Mong mong!

Grandpa Maxwell has many stories to tell. I love listening to him; he is such an intelligent person. and it seems to be that his favorite hobbies are nature. everytime i get a letter from Grandma and Grandpa, i always see a little note in there with something on there about seeing a deer in the back yard or squirrels on his birdfeeders. haha. By the way, you may need dads expertise for that one. oh and then you can get Uncle dick to mount them for you. HAHAHAHA! welcome to my blog Grandpa...

Here is my big little bro! i know ur gonna read this so i should say something good right. haha, just kidding! really though, phil you have been such a mentor in so many different ways; i don't even think you realize. I remember the good old days when you used to knock me out while boxing, endless hours of wrestling, and cracking the wall... eh hem. did i say that. lol. and then we got separated when you went to college and both of us did a lot of growing up. well now i think this has been the longest our family has been separated and now i wouldn't trade anything for the time we spend together. Thanks for everything you have done for me phil. and here he is...
Unfortunately i don't have any pictures of mom and dad on my camera from when i was back home. i must have put them on a cd or something... i will have to search for them and update it later. but i do have one more picture that says alot about my parents. we got to meet one of the couples that mom and dad we 'chaperoning' so to speak. They are from Nigeria and came here with absolutely nothing except themselves. they are about the proudest people i have ever met but they are dealing with a very rough aspect of life. I wish them the best of luck in all they do and i thank my parents for guiding them in the right direction. mom and dad, you two are truely inspirational. if you take their life and sit back and think about what you have done for them... that would make one hell of a movie. mom or dad, you will have to add a comment using the functions on the right side to give some names... i can't remember, but here they are...

photo shoot

All of us... left to right myself, kathy, Helen(kathy's friend from California), and Derrick, a staff sergeant that works up in 2ID. all of us met in myung dong and wound up in a photo shoot... haha.

Independance hall museum

We went to the Korean Independence Hall Museum located in Cheonan. This along with the Korean war museum really explains a lot. It gives me more of an understanding of what happened back in the day. here is a couple of fun pictures we took...

kathy's Hanbok

Kathy recently bought a Hanbok... korean traditional dress... for easter. and quess what color it is... PINK!!! Happy Easter!

BDAY Cake

and the cake for her b-day... Paris Baquette makes the absolute best cakes. they are awesome.

Sun Min

Kathy, Ben, and myself set up a little birthday get together for Sun Min. We made her dinner and got her a cake. Ben is a master griller so he was of great help. Happy Birthday Sun Min.

Me n Q

Luckily I got to pull Q aside and sneak in a quick picture with him. If you notice the flowers in the background, they are very pretty right? well the whole church was lined up with them. very expensive wedding. we then went down to have the reception and when the newly wed showed up they were in korean traditional clothing, which is called "Hanbok". This is what it looks like. this is the picture of them cutting the cake as well. Enjoy,

Nam ee sum

on one of my long weekends we took a short trip to go to Nam ee sum which is Nam ee island. here is the boat ride there.

after the ride we arrived and tried to take as many pictures as we could. here is the sign as soon as you get off of the dock. it says Nam ee sum...

we walked around a bit and then decided to rent a double bike...

we rode around a bit and after i took a break, hahaha, we took some pictures. here is a dock picture...

right after we stopped again we saw a couple of deer that must have been used to people because we walked within about 5 feet of them. it was awesome...

then we ran into the drama set...

]
we then saw the replica scary movie mask which was huge. see our imitations...
then we finished up with a paddle boat. how relaxing!!!

Tae kyu's wedding

I went to my friends wedding and it was beautiful. It of course was all in korean, but just watching you could tell it was a great ceremony. Tae Kyu is our battalion commanders driver, who works right across the street from me. We have gotten to know alot about each other and spend a lot of time shammin together. haha! I was honored when he asked me to come to his wedding. their parents are standing respectively beside them. in the shot below, i took the first picture and had the flash off and everything. But when he realized that i took the picture, he started laughing just in time for the real photographer to snap his shot. Cheese!

Leave me alone!!!

this is at about 2 months. he has grown since you just may not be able to tell. He has such long legs. but don't bug him while sleeping to get a good kodak moment because he will turn out like this...
