June 2025

 BACCALAUREATE

 Maddy participated in Kubasaki’s Baccalaureate, which was a lovely, faith-building experience. 










GRADUATION

We celebrated Madeline’s graduation from high school! We are incredibly proud of her and all her hard work. Maddy has had to be flexible while doing the high school in 3 different locations. Maddy plans to attend Brigham Young University and study neuroscience and music.
















SEMINARY GRADUATION



We also got to celebrate her graduation from Seminary! This is a huge accomplishment since it’s required her to wake up early each morning to study the scriptures for an hour each day before school.



Maddy auditioned for and received a POPs scholarship, which they give to those interested in the arts.


FAMILY FUN

We've been trying to get in some final time together 
Mibaru beach snorkeling



Giza Banta 

Gorilla Chop

We saw a lion fish at Mermaid's grotto, and we enjoyed swimming in the cave. Unfortunately a creature or coral attacked Nathan's leg. 

Picture from one of our family walks on Plaza. We love the ocean view. 
We finally visited the Okinawa sign. We have loved living here, and we are going to miss it so much!

MS SHOKO
Audrey had her last lesson with Ms Shoko. She's been such a great teacher for Audrey. We will miss her. 

OKINAWA ZOO
The splash pad at the zoo is a great idea for hot days!


Pony rides!
Swinging like a monkey!


BLUE SEAL
We met up with the Paulls and Stringhams for some ice cream at Blue Seal on double scoop day! The Paulls are leaving soon, and we are going to miss them. 

ACTIVITY DAY CAMP
The kids did a hike on their last day from one ocean to the other.
It was hot
But pretty



The was fun watching Brooklyn and Audrey perform skits on the second day

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!

Jared missed having Abby with him to celebrate, but we enjoyed celebrating Jared on father's day. He's such a great dad.
