Pipeline Masters

Kali and I made it to the last day of the pipeline competition. It was fun to watch and Kali had a good time playing in the sand and modeling her hat. Kelly Slater is the surfer I have posted pictures of. Sadly he did not make it in to the finals this year. He has won this competition like three or four times in the past. GOOD TIMES!

Turning 28!

This birthday was my spa birthday!! Aaron sent me to get a manicure and a pedicure which was soooo relaxing. He also got me this spa package so that I can treat myself daily to a relaxing spa experience. He also got me these beautiful flowers and Kali got me some cute pajama bottoms and my mom sent me a dress and some modbe $ and Mary Kay microderm abrasion and body scrub. After we had a little family party my friends surprised me with a party and the spa gifts continued, they spoiled me with a back massage, facial and getting my hair cut and colored. My parents also sent me a gift card to PF Chang's that Aaron and I will use sometime this week for a little birthday date and dinner. Thanks everyone it was a nice relaxing perfect day!

Kali's First Camping Trip

We finally got all the camping gear that we need to go camping, thanks to our friends Wade and Charlene Hill, they are moving to Utah in a week, so we bought all of their camping stuff. We are excited to start going on many fun camping trips all over the island. We made a camp fire and cooked hobo dinners and made smores, which Kali loved then we stayed up till about 11:00 pm watching the fire and the stars. It was beautiful. Kali just hung out with us and she loved it. She slept through the night, lucky girl. Aaron and I didn't sleep so peacefully, we were right on the beach and the waves were crashing loudly all night long. We decided next time ear plugs would solve that problem. Over all it was an amazing experience and Kali loved it, that is what matters. The two pictures of Kali are at 6:00 in the morning from our tent door it was beautiful!!

CHOO CHOO TRAIN

Kali was so excited when we saw this gingerbread choo choo train kit so we had to buy it and let her put it together and decorate it. It was a daddy and daughter project. Aaron helped her assemble it and frost it and then she got to decorate it. She had so much fun! She loves doing things with her daddy.

Ala Moana Center

We went to the mall and got Kali's pictures with Santa. She was so good. I just set her down and said go get pictures with Santa and she ran over to him, got up on his lap, took three good pictures and then sat with Santa and waited while I picked out the picture and paid for it and then she said good bye to Santa and we were on our way to the CHOO CHOO TRAIN! There is this train that runs through the mall and Kali LOVES IT! She was so excited to ride it, she just stood patiently in line and then she jumped in and enjoyed her ten minute ride and when she got off she wanted to go again! I told her maybe next time we come to the mall. She was just being so good and she was so cute. She loved it! It was a fun day.

Zach's Wedding

I am still trying to collect pictures from this wondrous occasion and when I did receive this one today I had to put it up and brag about Aaron's beautiful daughter Kayla. She is now eight years old and she is an amazing older sister. It was so fun to see the girls together, Kali just loved her and wanted to be by her all the time. Kayla is very smart and received all A+'s on her first report card in her private school. She loves playing the piano, playing soccer, swimming, skiing, drama and she loves Hana Montana and the Cheetah Girls. We enjoyed our time with her so much and we are excited for future visits! We love you Kayla!!!

We are back!!

We went to California for a week for Aaron's brothers wedding. It was a blast!!! While we were there we also took Kali to Disneyland. SHE LOVED IT!!!! Here are just a couple of teaser pictures until I get all the rest of them mailed to me from my family and Aaron's family. Kali got to spend three days with her sister Kayla which was so fun and so cute, they loved being together. I will soon get all those pictures up as soon as I get them as well. More to come SOON!

Pig Tails and Barbie the Island Princess

Kali let me put pig tails in her hair for the first time the other day, it was so fun and sooooo CUTE!! Notice her Barbie pajamas from Grandma Tami. She loves them and she watches the movie Barbie the Island Princess every day! It is the first and only movie she will actually sit the whole way through. Her favorite day outfit is her Minnie mouse outfit from Grandma Wood. The Grandma's know what is up!! I have to hide both outfits from her sometimes or she would choose to wear them every night and day.

Happy Halloween

Kali was so fun to watch tricker treat!! The first few houses we went to Kali said, "trick or treat" they gave her candy and then she said, "thank you" then she would look in her bucket and see the candy and look at me with a big smile on her face and say, "MORE!" She was just amazed at how all she had to say was trick or treat and she got candy. Here in Hawaii we just have to walk down one street (Moana Street) and everyone just sits out in front of their house with candy. Some people have their homes all decked out and spooky, it is so fun and the street is just packed with tricker treaters. It is such a blast.
After you finish that street your basket it full! We took these pictures before we headed tricker treating, we are looking down Hale La'a or Temple street. The one picture of Kali pointing she is saying, "lets get ready to trick or treat" LOL :) Kali is an important business women now days, so you will see her in many of her pictures on important business calls. The picture where she is in the orange outfit she was irritated with me for asking her to put her client on hold while I took a picture. Kali got that outfit from Grandma Wood and she loves it. She loves the cat and the moon on it. Grandma said that is was just a fun outfit for her to wear for Halloween even if she just wore it once. Don't worry Grandma, it is getting worn plenty, I decided to make it one of her pajama outfits so she can wear it as much as she wants.

Pumpkin Carving

Erin Low put together a F.H.E for pumpkin carving and it was a huge success. Kali decided pulling out all the seeds was mom's job. She wouldn't even put her hands in it. A seed accidentally landed on her arm and she was like "eeww." When it came time to carve the pumpkin, she was all over it. She did an excellent job, don't you think!! It is the best pumpkin face I have ever seen.

Halloween Party for the Parents!

Noelle put on an amazing Halloween party at the game room, playing, ping pong, guitar hero, bowling and dance dance revolution (Leah and I are pretty much pro's now.) Watch out Shayne we tear it up:)

Kick Ball Tournament

We took second place at the tournament. It was a full day of games, four to be exact. We had a big barbecue between games which was yummy! It was a fun day complete with sunburned faces, food, fights, scraped up knees and bonding. The kids had fun as well and they were excellent sports as they watched the game, cheered us on, ate all the cookies, climbed trees and ran around the field. They all slept really well that night!
