It's All About The Ohana"


This year's theme for our Luau was "It's All About The Ohana"...and this year was especially special because Mya was dancing too. Mya started hula lessons in September and she was so excited to be part of the Luau with me...This is the main reason why my mom flew in from Utah... to see her daughter and granddaughter perform together for the first time. Which,my mom, has always come out to our annual Luau...she hasn't miss a year, thanks mom :)...Here are some photos that was taken of the special event.
Mya with her little troupe....my mom was a life saver because she was able to take care of Mya in all her costumes changes while I was performing.
 
 A course, we had to have some mom and daughter photos
We had a great time taking photos with our family and friend before the show.
 
 Here are some photos that Blake took while Mya and I were peforming
 Here is a cute photo of Mya doing a Tahitian number
 
 Our Luau are always special, but this year is was a year to cherish...the opportunity to share with my daughter my love of hula and that she truly loves it...is PRICELESS!!!!

Grandma's Visit

My mom came for a short visit at the end of June to see me and Mya perform in the Luau...the day before we headed to Mantio Park to enjoy nature's beauty.
The kids were so excited that they had their grandma all to themselves.
The green house at Mantio Park is simply breathtaking!!!!
We also had a great time strolling around this wonderful park!
Had a great time capturing moments with the kids
  

 
  
 
My favorite photo of my mom and the kids is this one
We were so grateful to have grandma visit and we truly miss her...keep tune for the update of why she really came to visit...the Luau!
