A day at the Beach




Hello everyone,

Time has just been flying by. We have been busy with just stuff. We decided to take the kids to the beach last weekend. We are able to relax and hang out. It was great the kids had a great time. It is so neat to sit back and watch them grow. Brooklyn and landon are inseperable(most of the time). Hopefully when dawson gets older they will include him in there little click.

It is great to be able to get in the car and go to the beach. It was a great day and a much needed relaxing day for all. Even though it was a week or so ago it is still nice to reflect on how relaxing the beach can be.

See you at the beach!!

Great Kids!!


I just wanted to take a minute to say how great my three kids are.


I am sure all of you know they are brooklyn , landon , and dawson. They are the best kids ever. i love them so much. Each one of them brings something to the family.

Brooklyn is so funny. She loves to sing and dance for everyone. She says the funniest things. She is always making sure she knows were landon and dawson are. She loves to make dawson stop crying by dancing and singing him songs. Landon is becoming a real tease. He is saying sentences. He alwyas has the best smile and laugh. It will change any bad mood into a great mood. Dawson is such a mello happy boy. He has figured out sleeping during the day and at night. So I will keep him. He is so content and he is always wearing a smile.

I have so much fun with my kids. I love them more then anything.

There have been many times that they have put me in the best mood from being in a bad mood. i love to see them grow and learn together. They are all so close in age so it gets a little crazy around our house. At the end of the day when I think about the day or see brooklyn sneak into landons room to sleep, landon give dawson a binki, brooklyn go to landons room first, toys draped over dawsons bed so he can play to from landon or brooklyn, watching brooklyn help landon gets his pedals right on his bike, landon and brooklyn laughing together, giving each other hugs when they get hurt, landon alwyas having to be the prince, brooklyn getting a laugh out of dawson. These are the things that make me realize how lucky I am have to have these three great kids that mean so much to me. Thank you to david for trusting me and allowing me to raise our kids. Thank you for always being on the same page as me with them. Thank you for always helping me with them.

They mean the world to me. I just want them to know that I love them.

Alright I know that was really sappy. I cant help it. I love these kids!

When Daddy gets a hold of the scissors





The title says it all. David was playing with the kids while I was cleaning up dinner. All of a sudden landon comes around the corner with no hair. Were are landons curls going? Just as he gets some going they disappear. The next tiem Ithink the kids are safe with daddy I will check and double check.


At least dad knows what he is doing though. His and landons hair look great. So after the moment of shock I had good job david and the haircut.

What a Great Place to Live

So my fun niece kaysie is in town. We have been out partying all over oahu. It has been great fun. We have hit the beach a lot, sone some shopping, and had a girls night in waikiki.

We went up to the north shore to see the turtles at turtle beach. It is so neat they just come up on the shore. We saw three of them on the beach. You can also see the turtles in the water.
Me and the kids saw 4 baby turtles and three other big turtles in the water. It was so neat. They were about 10 feet away from us in the water. It was neat to see so many turtles. David and kaysie were out snorkeling and saw a lot of tutlres in the water, a red crab, and some eels.

We went up to the north shore to get a famous shaved ice at matsumotos. Yummy, Yummy, yummy. While we were in the parking lot we saw a mommy hen and 8 baby chicks. We were about 3 feet away from them. Brooklyn loved it. The little chicks were so cute. Of course brooklyn wanted to get a baby chick for a pet and be the mother.

It is so neat to be able to see neat things just everyday. It always amazes me when we go to the beach or somewere and we can see such fun things. It is things like this that the kids have talked about for days. It is not the toys or treats we have bought the past week it is the small things they remember like the turtles and the chicks. I am so lucky to live here were I can show my kids these things. We have the chance to go see these things everyday if we want.

Thanks david for choosing a job that puts us in the beautiful state of paradise
