Aloha to Hawaii!

We wanted to thanks the people of Hawaii for making us feel welcome and part of a family. A special thanks to the amazing neighbors that helped make our lives easier. The two years we have lived there were WONDERFUL! Here some of the things we are going to miss from Hawaii....


The beach and all the fun things we did as a family.

All the good friends and neighbors we made and will miss.

To all that Hawaii offered to me and my family.

Fun In The Sun!

The View

This is what I see most of the time when I run on this beach...










How LUCKY I was to be able to run on a piece of PARADISE.

BEACH, BEACH, BEACH!

As our time is rapidly coming to an end here in Hawaii, we have been hitting the beach.

Here are some fun photos of us having fun...

Mya and I have fun on the boogie board

Dad and Nate catching a wave

Keeping cool in the water

Yipee, just caught a wave

Just cruising on the water

Mya just doesn't know if she likes dad pushing her on her board

And this is the view I'm going to miss the most. I see this every morning while I run on the beach.

Stay tune for our last days in Hawaii...

36 Minutes of Shrieking and Laughter!

We're going to the OCEAN,
We're going to the BEACH,
We're going to go CRAB HUNTING,
To see what we can KEEP!

They search high and low to see how many crabs we can gather.

Bravery were rewarded

and looking cute too.

We celebrated like ROCK STARS,

of the catch of our BOOM!

The shrieking, the giggling, the yelling, the laughter, crabs escaping out of the pail and the competition, to see who gets the most crab, is one of our FAMILY"S FAVORITE activity to do.

When we are done we release the crabs back to the ocean and Mya waves and said
"BYE CRAB".

Kindergarten's Graduation and Last's Day of School!

Nate's graduated from Kindergarten on Tuesday June 3rd and it was a experience. His sweet teacher made each boy in her class ties, to be worn on graduation. The graduating classes perform for their parents a couple of songs and each child were called and received their diplomas.

I love the Hawaiian tradition of giving lei's to your classmates and teachers on special occasions.

Nate's class were taught the importance of dancing.

Now, the boys danced with their mom and the girls danced with their dad. SWEET!

Nate with his bestfriend Spencer.

Ike and his teacher Ms. Orian on the last day of school. What a CLOWN!

Near Nature, Near Perfect!

Is the motto for where Blake and I visited this week at Spokane, Washington.

It truly a lovely place and it was more lovely because it was just us two. The kids stayed home being watched by my in-laws, thank you Karla and Reed.

We truly enjoyed exploring Spokane and accomplished what we set out to do on this visit. HOORAY!

Here are some photos of our trip:
