Kali's First Dentist Appointment

Kali did an amazing job for her first dentist appointment. Both the dentist and the assistant said they wished all two years olds behaved as well as she did. It may have helped that a week earlier she saw me doing the exact same thing, so she felt like a big girl and she didn't even have any cavities!!! Good Job Kali! They gave her a fun little goodie bag with a new toothbrush, toothpaste, floss, and a My Little Pony sticker. I am sad I didn't bring my new camera because I didn't realize the huge difference in quality until I took these with our underwater camera. Now I know:)

Authentic Mexican Food

Natalie, you are awesome for having our family over and cooking us the best chicken fajitas, rice and beans, EVER! It was fun to spend time with your family, talking and eating amazing food. Kali and David were so cute to watch play together. Thank you for your friendship and hospitality:)

Eyeball update

It is still in tact:) They don't know what is wrong with me, it was worse so they upped my eye drop dosage and on Friday if it doesn't look better they are going to give me a shot, IN MY EYE! That face you are making right now, was the face I must have been making when the doctor told me that because he replied, "oh, it is not that bad." I will let you know on Friday:)

And to top it all off I got sick on Saturday afternoon and I am still trying to get over it. However, during all of this, I have had some awesome friends who have helped me out so, I want to say MAHALO nui loa too, drum roll please:


Melissa - Thank you for always taking Kali and Krew whenever I need a brake or a little help, you are an angel. And thanks again for your AMAZING enchilada's, I am already craving more:) THANK YOU, THANK YOU!














Kava - a new neighbor across the way, Joe's wife (Joe is the guy who Aaron works with, spear fishes with, has all the same classes with, and his always on the phone with, his second wife:) I will get pictures of their CUTE family hopefully SOON! Anyhoo, Aaron was telling Joe and Kava about my eye and the next thing I know Kava is bringing me over dinner, which was so nice and so needed. THANK YOU!!


Angie - You know Angie, ALWAYS watching my kids, their home away from home, a.k.a. life saver. Thanks for taking Kali on Sunday so I could nap, on last Monday so Aaron and I could have our hot date at the Dentist, and at Macaroni Grill and shopping at Ala Moana:) And all the other many times in between. Oh yay, and for watching Krew today while we were at the pool. THANK YOU, THANK YOU!













Ka'ala - a.k.a. MYSTERY PERSON, (sorry Jaime, nice try) she is my new neighbor who instead of me bringing her goodies or food and welcoming her to the area, brings me carrot cake and muffins. What kind of a slacker am I??? THANK YOU for bringing me yummy food and making me feel loved, even when I should of been the one doing it:) THANK YOU!!!!

Happy Birthday Melissa

We started out the day at the Kahuku Library for the kids school. After they had story we had snacks in front of this awesome red wall, perfect for fun pictures:) Then we headed to the playground where Kaiya got her self all muddy, Happy Birthday, mom:) Later in the day Melissa got her manicure and pedicure, which turned out FABULOUS, Angie, Hillary and I got her a gift certificate to Laie's very own Amber Nails, to help pay for her pampering. To end the day off Chad organized a little get together for some singing and Ted's Bakery pies! YUMMY!!

A tribute to Melissa on her day of birth.

Melissa is a very thoughtful person. She made me some enchilada's yesterday because I was not feeling well. AND THEY WERE AMAZING!! She even watched Krew for me on Sunday while I took a nap. She is ALWAYS willing to help me out when ever I need ANYTHING:) She is an amazing friend, she is so much fun to talk to and hang out with. I could just sit and talk to her for hours. She is a wonderful mother, I love watching her with Kaiya and how she loves and cares for her. I have learned so much from her. She is an amazing seamstress. I love seeing all of her new projects, and I am so excited for her, she just opened her etsy shop, check it out here.
I could have not ask for a better next door neighbor. I love you tons, Melissa and I hope you had a perfect birthday:)

HAPPENINGS - Girls Nights

Mamma Mia!
Saturday, August 2nd 9:30 pm
Ko'Olau Stadium 10
Leave Laie at 8:30 pm
Meet in front of E building
Comment if you need a ride or want to come:)








Also, Tuesday, August 5th 8:00 pm Recipe Book ideas, recipes and samplers.
We want to put together recipe books full of our favorite recipes. To start all you need is a three ring binder, clear sheets and dividers, or if you prefer note cards and a recipe box that works too:) For Tuesday bring one copy of your favorite recipe and have it made for everyone to sample. We are thinking of doing it at the Stake Center Pavilion, just R.S.V.P. so we can have an idea of how many girls are interested. For more specialized recipes we will have demonstration nights in the future. This is not a ward activity, it is for all who are interested:)

Mystery Person

I came home from the fireside tonight to this delightful treat on my couch:) Wait a minute, (as Kali would say) there was no name on it, no one to thank for this wonderful goodness, my mind races, who could it be, I make a few phones calls trying to thank this heaven sent individual, but I strike out, I don't know who it is. So if it is you, THANK YOU, who ever you are, it was a perfect ending to a perfect day:)
