 Hatchback Lunch and flying entertainment...Tyce is ready to skydive now!

Spies like us

Friday night fun...just because.

First Words

Kai is really wanting to talk.  This is so fun for everyone.  He surprised us by saying "gecko" tonight.  I'd have to say this is my first kid to have gecko as one of his first words.  Living in Hawaii, this is so normal to him :)

Fall 2013

The year MY feet were still bigger than all four of these little boy feet.

(L to R--T to B)

Cruz, Oshyn, Kainoa, Tyce

Unbirthday

Tyce had a very merry unbirthday tonight.  He and Cruz could hardly wait & nobody was sad about dessert.  Cruz even gave him a present (my gift giver--love language guy)! 

The cookie stack "cake"

Cruz's present for the unbirthday boy

Nevermind that it was a toy of Cruz's that was in desperate need of batteries:)

Nothing like being 3...still!

Rainbows

It's not uncommon to see a rainbow around these parts, but it forever amazes me how they look.  Here are a few I've actually caught!

This bow was especially sent for my bro & his b-day :)

Q-tip Art

Gone Wild!  I wasn't surprised much...this happens EVERY.single.time.we.paint!!

September 7, 2013

Let it be documented that today was the day that Oshyn caught the stoke.  

I think he may be hooked!

Old Stomping Grounds

Since I can, I thought it would be nice to document some places that we used to live, 

for posterities interest!

The Laie Point

The "Animal House"
The house I lived when I met Beau.  When I showed hime this picture,
I told him it looked really run down...he said, "It always looked like that!"  So I guess this is accurate!

M-120 at TVA (Our 1st home--a studio apartment in the Temple View Apartments)

L building (Our 2nd year--a one-bedroom apartment :)

L-220 at TVA (So much different than M-120--Ha!)

The boys enjoyed seeing all of these places and thought the Animal house looked "really old!".  We made lots of great memories in all of our "homes".  I am thankful to be able to document them.

Chicka chicka boom boom

After a much needed haircut, today our coconut trees got a mighty trim. Tyce has been chumming it up with the "worker guys" and he keeps telling them they are "strong"! I think he may have even asked if they had a mom, if he could carry logs & he even got them to use their machetes to carve him light sabers.  

I asked if we could keep a few coconuts and just like that I got a fancy beverage handed to me.  When life gives you coconuts...drink up!

Waimea Wednesday

Why wait until Saturday?

Everyone has a spot they like to jump! (sans Kainoa :)

Life

Why get ready for school when you can make your brother a burrito...or be one yourself?!?

Rest time is over??!?

Weekend Warriors-Labor Day Addition

We have always wanted to make sure we get out and get active with our boys.  In California, we tried to hike and explore some of the trails within fairly close driving distance.  We are excited to do the same here in Hawaii!

I noticed before we left that all of the littles were dressed like Daddy just a bit--the tank, the shorts, & they even looked for similar belts.  Beau is a bit idolized around here!

Beau and I know a few hikes on the windward side, but haven't done many on the north shore.  We heard that there was a short hike near Mokuleia and the runway, so we headed that way.
We made it to Kealia Trail in about five minutes.  Talk about close!

The trail is about 1.5 miles up with a bunch of switch backs that made it very doable for our family.  The views were great and I couldn't stop snapping pics.  The blue blue water never ceases to blow my mind.

Since it is right close to the runway, we saw multiple planes taking off and landing, gliders being pulled up and then circling over head, and we even saw sky divers.  What an entertaining way to make your way on the trail.

At the top was a picnic table with some worn out little men.  

They did awesome.  After sharing a water bottle (and I'm sure plenty of back wash) we headed back down.

Kai boy worked so hard that he fell fast asleep.  

It was a lovely way to spend Labor Day morning.
