Local goodies

Good ol' Sugar Mill Farmer's Market

One of my girlfriend's said it best...
The local gym.  A bare bones indoor basketball court with an old distressed wood floor where they hold exercise classes.  Let's call it island chic!

Rainbow Bridge--the icon of Haleiwa town

Febu-isms

Tyce is a silly sleeper with his head hanging out of his bed.  He also LOVES to drive in the car with his window down--head out!  He is very interested in what boyfriends and girlfriends do...and ex-boyfriends

.

Camping

Father/Son campouts are always an adventure!

Spear fishing

These guys are ready to go!

Backstop Boys

Hanging out at the park (while Daddy figured out the drone) turned into a friendly competition between the boys.  Who can make it to the top of the backstop first??  Monkeys all around.

MOM!

"Take a picture of me holding on like this!"

Tramp cleanse

Because sometimes you need to soap up the tramp AND clean the kiddos!

Shoes

This little brother has some big shoes to fill!

Valentine's with Grampa & Tutu

Everyone was feelin' the love on Valentine's Day.  We had special guests for our pink dinner and boy were they impressed by our fanciness!  We can't resist feeling the love with some bubbly drinks on the side.

Hot Stuff

Amanda Grazier aka Amandalynn

Beau and I got the chance to meet up with a 2nd cousin of mine (maybe 3rd once removed??). She lives in San Francisco now but was in an art show in Honolulu.

My Grandfather John Robert was first cousins with her Grandmother "Aunt Etter" (to me).  Every summer when I would go to Pennsylvania and stay with my grandparents, Amanda and I would play.  She lived 2 doors down, with her grandparents the only house in between.  We had the best time playing flashlight tag, checking blue bird houses, bugging her sister Gretta, walking to Gardners candy store in Bedford, swimming at Calebiet & shawnee, going to Meeting and much more. During the school year we would often be pen pals writing letters back and forth.  Over time we grew apart but will always have the fondest memories.   It was great to see her and spend some time catching up a bit.

Janu-isms

Mr. Kainoa is the guy with all of the isms this month!

He has a little anger streak and is known to say, "You're a BAD word!!"

I've told him I don't like the word 'hate' and I will wash his mouth out if he says it too much.  After a little run in with some buddies he came to tell me, "He hit me in the webs so I HAD to say HATE."

He calls me 'Heidi'

Asks, "Where are my boys?" (his bros)

Tells certain people, "You're my best friend" and calls out, "Hey Brah!"

The "Real Deal"

Plenty of times, one will catch Tyce or Kai watching Grammie read books on the computer while I'm off doing chores or showering. They love it so much and always always always talk to the screen as if she's right on the other side. Well, nothing is better--except getting to see her in person! Grammie came out to visit on her way to Florida to see Ggma. We are quite fortunate to live on the way to everything :)

The Dole plantation was a request by Tyce where we hit up a train ride and some Dole whip. She even got the boys a big ol' pineapple gumball. Then back to the house for some book time!
