This and That

Kids

#3 comes up to me. "Mom my tooth is really loose. I didn't pull on #4 pants(with my mouth) to make my tooth loose."
Hmm, won't of guessed that's how it got looser if you hadn't mentioned it. LOL

*updated to add-he pulled said tooth out at nap time and has written a huge note to remind me his tooth is on the counter tonight.

I am going to a conference this week. So excited! It's for PWOCI, click on the link and you can find out who the keynote speaker is and a bit more. Last week we signed up for some workshops and I do know I got into one that was a first choice. Received an email today telling the name of the song we'd be learning. Guesses on what I'll be doing? Shouldn't be too hard to figure out. Yes, I am going to a dance class. The name of the class is Worship Our King Through Dance. I really enjoy the Praise & Worship Hula out here and thought it'd be fun to see how others worship through dance too. Name of the song we'll be learning is The Motions by Matthew West.

Oh fashion guru I am not. I also live in sandals out here. Don't even have any tennis shoes since my last pair bit the dust. So here I am going to the cold mainland in slippers. A friend talked me into getting some boots. So I went out got some awesome black boots with heels that zip of the side.....
Well tried them on today with a long blue jean skirt and just wasn't feeling it. Called my daughter in to see what she thought and she didn't like the look either.
So ladies I will need your help this week. Not sure if the look is just off or it's just me not use to the look on myself;) I'll play around with some other combinations as time permits...otherwise it'll just be me and my cold toesies this week!

Dancing for Him

or Hula no ke Akua

My oldest was on photo duty yesterday. It was a job he took on with relish; though I have to admit I was afraid he'd run the battery out before he got any shots of us dancing!

This one gives you an idea of some of the conditions of our surroundings. When we dance here we have people on all sides of us and some standing on hotel balconies to watch. It's really rather odd...

This was when we were running through "Salt and Light". It's always different to dance in the sand and bright sun, the balance is totally different. As you can tell by the expressions one of the guys that runs the service here was talking to us and totally distracting us! The actual performance went much smoother;)



The boy took several candid shots. It cracked me up to see what he took.
But seriously don't these haiku's make us look a bit like sheep dogs with the hidden eyes? :D Actually now that I look at it my head piece looks a little low in the back too :P





Dancing "I Can Sing of Your Love Forever"


The ladies and keiki of the halau who danced today.

Luau time

The kids and I went the Hale Koa Luau last night.
My favorite luau is still the PCC-better food and better seating in my opinion. I had to stand to see the show at the Hale Koa but a bonus of the show last night was the boys who had a lot of energy could run on the grass and play and not distract others.

With all their creations.



My kung fu fighter;)


Trying their hand at some activities.

Outdoors

We visited one of our favorite places a few weeks ago. Ho'omaluhia Botanical Gardens.

Just a few pictures to share.


The oldest found something to sketch in his nature journal.

#3 was impressed with the size of this leaf.

#2 thought it made a great umbrella.


I have been missing lately as I can't decide whether to keep up with the blog or not. Things around the home are going a little crazy which has me undecided. But I was at a conference this weekend and one of the workshops I took was about blogging...which has me interested once again;) So time to reevaluate!

Air show out takes

A week or two ago we went to an airshow. The kids had a great time until I made them sit on the Hot, Sunny, Black top to watch my favorite part : The Blue Angels!





Our little pilots.....




If we don't fly this one we could ride in the back.

Going for a ride with Civil Air Patrol?


The first plane we took a picture of because #3 loved the little plane!


I guess the little one lucked out with not one picture of him.....we will have to remedy that soon!

Birthday girl at the beach

From Thursday:

Our lovely birthday girl at the end of the day! Like the sun kissed eyes?



Proof that I was actually there...and that I leave the house in things that don't match!


Love this!


It's crab hunting time!!

Just a link to share

Celebrating the man's birthday today. Working on a yummy dinner of Parmesan Chicken on a bed of noodles and green beans(decided it was too hot today to bake french bread to go with). The kids helped me make German Chocolate Cake last night and we have French Vanilla ice cream to go with. A good eating day here!

Now on to the post to share. A Marriage Post on Women Living Well Blog. All her points are excellent verses to live by. They have definitely been on my heart/mind often.
