Beach Days

The water finally felt good to me! It's been a little chilly for my taste lately. Guess now that the heat is on, I enjoy cooling off more!

Everyone now has a hat that fits so hopefully you will see more pictures of kids in hats. It's so bright out here I try to get the kids to protect their eyes and face when not in the water. They do pretty good for the most part....although the oldest managed to lose his somewhere. It's been lost long enough I gave up hope of it finding its way home;) Miss grows-a-lot now has a hat that fits her head and we are searching for a new swimsuit for her. Girls are so much harder to dress then boys! Trying to find something fairly modest and somewhat stylish(especially when mom is not handy with the needle) is sometimes a challenge!

We are dancing to a chant this Sunday; I think it was requested from one of the Chaplains that will be leaving soon. It's a little different than usual. We move a bit faster and have to speak(Hawaiian) a few times during the dance. It is actually a bit fun now(shh don't say I said that) and is quite the aerobic workout! You know when you've had a good dance-your legs and arms hurt;)


#2 just took a couple shots of the 'walk' in during practice. Oh, here's a 'fun fact' for you. Women whom are expecting are not suppose to wear leis, which is why mine is not tied.

Pictures, because I'm behind

See this photo, it frustrates me. Why? Not the subject matter but the way it is side ways. Why is it sideways? Anyone? In my photo album in looks normal so why does it come out funny?
If you can tilt your head that is #2 with her hula group today. I'll try to post the video in a bit.


The 14th was a nice day with scattering rain droplets abound. We decided to spend some time outdoors, James and I had been able to spend the morning together while the kids enjoyed decorating cookies with their favorite sitter. So I was a little tired in the afternoon but wanted to get the family out of doors. Hmm, where to go where I can relax and yet let the kids to run around? Oh yes, the beach! So besides coming home covered in sand(them from rolling around in it and us from being pelted by it when the wind gusts got us) we had a very enjoyable afternoon:)
