NATE'S 6TH BIRTHDAY!

Nathan had AWESOME time on his birthday even if the weather wasn't cooperation!

It's so hard to take pictures when the birthday boy likes showing his fake smile and laughing.

Nate's wanted to go to the beach for his birthday but it was raining all day. He finally got his wish a couple of days later.

He had a great time boogie boarding and playing in the sand with his sister.

Nate is a joy in our family and we are so grateful to be part of his life. He's already asking about his next birthday and all the things he wants to do.

I DID IT!

I finally did it! I started school today after being out of a classroom for 12 years. I was excited, nervous, and a little freaked out. I must take advantage that I'm an professor's wife and I can go to school for FREE. After putting my education on hold to support Blake and raise my children. It's now my turn. I'm just going part-time and taking two classes. It was hard trying to find classes to go around Blake's classes schedule and my choices were limited, but I was able to find two classes that I found interesting. There are Introduction to Biology and World Music Cultures. The fun part of this solution is going to be playing tag and swapping Mya with Blake. I have a class that ends at 7:50a.m and then I run to Blake's office and pick up Mya. Blake teaches a class at 8:00 a.m. Then five minutes before his class ends, I drop Mya at his class and it gives me 10 minutes to run across campus to go to my second class at 9 a.m. But today was crazy because the Boys are till on their Christmas Vacation Break and don't return to school until Monday the 14th. So, I was hauling the crew to Blake's office this morning. CRAZY! This year is definitely going to be an adventure juggling motherhood, being a homemaker and a student. I returned back to school for myself and my children. (With a big push from Blake.) I want to show my children it's never too late to get an education. Wish me LUCK!

Enjoy The Little Things

It's truly AMAZING, to see the world through the eyes of a child. The joy and happiness they find in the most simplest things. It make your realize what you have taken for granted and rediscover what's precious. Especially on the holidays, we tend to go overboard with material things. Just remember what's truly important and cherish every moment.

Pipeline Triple Crown 2007

Pancho Sullivan Day 1 (a 7.3 wave--he took 3rd overall). Due to the small waves this year, this was one of the few tubes of the competition.

Let's the Surfing Begin...

North Shore...at Waimea the waves were Awesome and we went to see the surfers battle the waves.

Nathan thought this was Totally Wicked.

I couldn't believe how BIG the waves were and I was told this was NOTHING.

I LOVE how this photo turned out of Isaac watching the surfers.

Truly amazed of the skills and tricks these surfers were doing on these waves.

Whenever Mya sees a camera she just has to pose. What a Cutie Pie!
As for the surfing, we can't wait for Pipeline with starts December 8th and we'll be there.

Happy Thanksgiving!

What a day! We started at 7:30 a.m with our Annual Ward Football Game. Old Men vs Young Mens. It was a blast to watch. There were a lot of Shouting and Laughter. A course, the Young Mens LOST! The Men sure showed the Young men ,whose better.

I enjoyed watching Blake play and he played very well. He made those Young Men WORK.

We enjoy our Thanksgiving meal for Lunch and the Kids help make the Jello Turkey Cups for dessert. Everyone decorated their own cup.

As for the table, the kids set it. This is the second time in our married life that Blake and I have made our own turkey for Thanksgiving. It's our first time as a family that we have Thanksgiving just on our own without sharing with another family.

Blake and I studied and searched for the right recipes for this meal. I did the Turkey and the dressing and Blake did the rest of the meal. We thought it came out well. There are things we would do differently next time but over all it was good.

We have a tradition of asking everyone at the table to tell everyone what their are thankful for. We had Nathan who was thankful for the Turkey and his family, Isaac was thankful for Scooby Doo, the Lord and for his family and for Mya, I asked her what is she grateful for and she paused for a second and said"Jesus". How's sweet is that!

We didn't go to the beach today but had fun day playing football, playing on the playgrounds, attending an baptism, basketball, napping, hide and seek, reading books, computer games (Jewel Quest 2 and Cubis®2), monkeys in a barrel, and watching football and "Surf Up"(Cute Movie). We are truly thankful for the many blessings the Lord has given to us. We miss our families and friends on the mainland. We wish you all an Happy Thanksgiving.

Yummy!

Nathan was so EXCITED with the Thanksgiving crafts he made in his Kindergarten Class but especially with this Apple Turkey.

He just enjoyed showing it off to everyone in the family.

He's such a sweet boy who loves to give hug and always telling you he loves you. I just had to capture his excitement of all the crafts he made himself.He told me that the necklace is for me to wear anytime but can I wear it to Church this Sunday. Pretty Neat, Huh! PRICELESS
(He especially enjoyed eating the Apple Turkey, it's was YUMMY!)

Red Afros Are Beautiful!

Taking A Walk

Future Mommy....Mya and I take daily walks on the weekdays and she had decided that she wanted to take her baby with her.

It was so cute to see here pushing her stroller.

She also just loved the attention she was getting from people on the road.

These are the times I'll always treasure.

Happy Halloween!

Simply Beautiful

I happen to notice as I was walking to my house how bright and big the moon looked. So, I ran to the house to get my camera and Blake and the Kids and headed to the beach. What a truly beautiful sight. I took some photos and played with each function on my camera and were able to capture some awesome photos. I seen photos of the moon glistening off the ocean water but I never see one in person and it was truly magical.

Awesome Memories!

An Amazing Day

After Isaac's baptism we had an amazing day.

We went to see Isaac and Nathan play soccer. (They are both on the same team. )
Go Green Ninjas!

After soccer we decide to visit the "Dole Plantation". We did the "2001 World's Largest Maze" and had a BLAST. We divided up in several groups and went searching for the eight secret stations that's located through out the maze. So image wandering through that maze with 5 kids and 5 adults. We did find all eight with some help of other maze searchers. We LOVE it!

We finally ended Isaac's special day with "Night Crab Hunting". We had so much fun running in the dark at the beach with our flashlights and chasing the crabs. Some of those put up a fight. Many giggling, laughters and shrieks.

It was truly a amazing day.
