The Weekend

We love hanging around the house and relaxing on the weekend. It seems like the weekdays are so crazy busy now that CJ is in school everyday and M goes to preschool 2 days a week. This weekend M and I made apple pie. CJ played with his classroom "pet," Buddy, he was so excited that he got to take him home.

I love my little girl. She is always there on her little stool ready to help.

Riding bikes.

Little Hula Girl

So we brought the kids some presents home from Hawaii. I brought the baby a Hawaiian childrens book, CJ a snorkle and fins set, and M a hula costume. She LOVED it.

Here she is with her fleece pajamas on underneath.

After dancing around with her pj's on she got kind of hot. So she stripped down.
Here she is acting like a model.

Here's M doing the hula.

And here's CJ in his snorkel and fins. He wanted to wear it during his photo shoot.

Hawaii

JB's parents took us to Hawaii for a family vacation/ family reunion. It was a real vacation because there were no kids allowed! I did miss them though. At first I did not know what to do with myself in the morning, no kids to make breakfast for, clean up after, or beds to make. We had 8 full days of surfing, hiking, sleeping and eating. It was so relaxing and desperately needed.

The house we stayed at was beautiful and walking distance to Haleiwa beach park.
We had shave ice every other day.
MMMMM!
Hiking to a waterfall.



I swam and jumped off the waterfall. It was so beautiful.

After our long hike we went and ate doughnuts with custard fillings. They were hot and fresh and the best things ever.

Beautiful Hawaiian sunset.
We visited the Kontoes on our last night (they were in Cali almost our entire trip). He caught this Tuna that afternoon, it was the best tuna I had ever tasted.

Swimming in February

We had a really warm day in February. It felt like summer so we took the kids swimming. They had a splash!

The girls looked so cute in their matching swim suits.

Girls Trip to Disneyland

Little sis was all smiles.
M ran up to Cinderella and nearly knocked her over with her big hug.
She was on cloud nine.
Princess Tiana from Princess and the frog.

We sneaked a girl's trip to Disneyland while CJ was at school. (Shhh! don't tell). The only reason we did was to go visit the princesses. When brother is with us we can't do the girly stuff, he does not like princesses.

New Trick

First T-ball practice

CJ started his first T-ball practice. He loved wearing his real baseball clothes and cleats. He was so cute, and looked like such a big boy to me. I can't believe how fast he is growing. It is really fun because our good friend Chad Pitt is the coach, his daughter is so cute and the only girl on the team.

JB is the assistant coach and is having a blast playing ball with his boy.
