HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!!!!!!

We had a blast celebrating Dezi's birthday and Trick-or Treating with the Thiim Family this year.
These girls are going to give us head aches when they are older!

The Kai's were the spice girls!! Their mom is amazing and put together all of their outfits! I want to be like Pua one day!

The Kobyashi....Snow white, black cat, zombie, and OBAMA. We kept asking him about our health care issues through out the night:)

Gotta love Kauwe and his Halloween spirit. Austin Power's would be proud!

Ok the pictures are backwards, if you look at the one below, Keoni is looking at this big coffin thing in someones yard, then someone pops out and sprays him with silly string!! It was classic, above is the end result.

I must say Hailey turned out looking too old and beautiful for me, but she loved it! Keoni wanted to be scary, mission accomplished.

All Keoni cared about is having that bloody knife, and a scary mask. Thank goodness for Savers and cheep stuff. He also didn't even want to go trick-or-treating because I wouldn't let him scary other kids walking around. So he headed back to the house to scare the kids that came for candy. All I have to say what goes around comes around. He did end up sleeping on my floor for like a week after the Haunted Lagoon! LOL!

First time putting on fake eyelashes, and it turned out pretty good. Don't know how she knew how to pose like a 20's Flapper, but every time a camera went off she had one.

LADY OF LAIE

How excited we all were to drive all the way to Laie for there HAUNTED LAGOON! Only to have to wait in a 2 1/2 hour long line!!! But we made the best of it and the kids had fun.

As the line got closer and the sounds were clearer, Keoni started to be very quite and kept giving me a worried look. He even asked at one point to go home. Sorry babe, I drove, I stood, I'm hot, we are going on this canoe ride!! Although he spent most of the time with his head down and in the Lady's arm that was next to him on the canoe, he had a blast and was back to talking trash as soon as he got off the ride!

She was worth the wait!!!

Cub Scouts Hike Koko Head!

I thought we were going to hike Diamond Head, but nooooo! we did Koko Head! It was a straight up, stair climbing trail on an old rail road track.

The boys were excited but also thought we were crazy because it looked so intimitating. And there were mostly adults doing this hike. But we did see a seven month pregnant lady doing it so that gave me motivation.

Half way there and the wining started, and pleas, "I'm going to die mom!"

We had to take many short rests along the way! But I have to admit I needed then too!:)

WE DID IT! And it was worth it! Beautiful 360 views! And the boys were so proud. We even found a old Army bunker (the boys loved that!) We all had a snack and water, and were laughing and having fun, when the boys realized OH NO! We have to get down! LOL Much easier but very steep. Keoni ran ahead with fellow cub scout. I could catch him because i was helping another boy who was scared. But I did get to watch him take a tumble right over the boy in front of him sending them both rolling a few feet down. I guess they weren't hurt because they got right up and continued on their way.

So after the hike and the Thunderbird show Keoni went straight to bed at 5pm and slept right through to the next morning! Now I know what to do from now on :)

THUNDERBRIDS ARE COOL!

Ok it's a little blurry, but they were going like a thousands miles a hour. We enjoyed our afternoon at Hickam AFB watching the Thunderbirds air show. It was very loud, very hot, but very cool!

Kai really wanted to do the rock climbing. She got all the way to the top, and the guy had to pull her down because she didn't weigh enough to slide down on her own. She had a blast!

It's Great to Be Eight!

Oni Boy was very excited to get baptised! And to everyone surprise was quite reverent and such a sweet spirit.

Don't know what's up with my camera the pictures are kind of blurry and made me
a whale. Gotta get that fixed.

Oni and Tay, two of a kind! Only two weeks apart, we were so happy to have them baptised together. With everyone who came to support them, the room was packed and we could feel the love.

Before they got dunked. Oni borrowed the churches jump suite and it was big, he said he looked like a big bunny! I had to laugh because he did.

Gotta love Hawaii, only here is a baptism like a graduation from college. Oni loved the attention, and his sister was proud.

Happy b-day Kai and Oni

So we had a joint B-day for Hailey, Keoni and cousin Cody at Kapiolani park and beach!

The girls did pretty well with the donut eating contest, the boys on the other hand seemed to get most of the sugar on their face and not much in their mouth! This was too funny.

I know you all remember this Chinese jump rope! Had to bring this back. I remember many hours and spent playing this as a kid. Kids didn't believe I used to get up to arm pits! Good times.

SUMMER TIME!

HAPPY 4TH everyone!!!! We were lucky enough to tag along with Keli and Gil at the Marriott Hotel for the fourth of July. We got to swim in the pool and go to dinner and then had a great view from the 24Th floor of the hotel. We could of stayed home and watched the fireworks from there but it was much nicer to be with some family.

For our family Vacation this year we went camping out at Bellows for a week. Now it wasn't your typical camping trip. We had hot water showers, bathrooms, tennis courts, volleyball, a shopette, and lets not forget papa's TV. All in all I think we did a week of luxury camping. Which I was grateful for because I'm not much for being dirty.

Hailey and her cousin Kezley. Yes my daughter got darker by the minute in the sun. I never put so much sun screen on all the kids. Every morning it seemed like the kids at camp knew I would be putting on the sun screen so I always had a line. The kids knew that if they didn't have it on they couldn't play in the sun.

What is camping with out a fire and s'mores!

YUMMY!!!!!

We did a lot of activities during our stay at camp and Kanai and I are very competitive. But he really put his game face on (and his socks) when we played kick ball. Sadly for me my team the SLEDGEHAMMERS got beat by the Hot, Hot, HOTTIES. But I still think we would of won if Kauwe didn't let his wife fun home by missing the ball.

We didn't get much sleep during camp because the adults would stay up late playing games like PIG, SCRABBLE, & GESTURES. And we had many early wake up calls by different babies in the camp. But over all we weren't over tired. Kanai on the other hand was able to get in a few Zzz, even with us putting a dirty diaper by his face.

The kids a fun with the slip-n-slide and the water balloons!

And you can see we had tennis courts next to camp. We had a little Thiim tournament in tennis.

Bellows is a great place to boogie board, and skin board. Keoni was very good at skin boarding (riding a thin board on the sand into the waves). Me on the other hand had to try it and did a back flop on my sun burn. Thankfully there are no pictures of that.

Taylin, Hailey, Krysta & Lianna

BY GOLLY THERE IS A PURPOSE FOR THAT NOSE!

Kauwe's dad Papa KAI did a wonderful lesson the the Hawaiian nose flute. Which he made one for each of us and tried to teach us how to play them. I still can't get a sound out of mine, but Kanai was playing songs in no time at all. All through out camp we could here Kanai playing that dang flute with his nose!

Here we have cousins Kiai, Dezi, and Aleena and

Aunty Keli and Pua.

Well we are following the rules by wearing a one piece bathing suit, but no one said we couldn't look good doing it! Keli with those things you could wear five shirts over that and still look beautiful!

Camping is so much fun with cousins!!!
