What we've been up too

Saturday my parents made it here! We have been having so much fun together and the boys cannot get enough of Nana and Papa!

Sunday after church we headed up to North Shore to do something that none of us have done before. We went to the Waimea Valley Audubon Center. It was such a beautiful day-perfect for a hike. It is 3/4 mile hike to a beautiful waterall. We saw so many beautiful and unusual plants and flowers. It was all breath-taking. The boys had a blast exploring and Micah took pictures with our digital camera-some of which you can see in the new slideshow. The boys couldn't wait to get to the waterfall because today it was open and you could swim to it. But when they got in the water, a frigid 60 degrees, they could not get in. Only Darrick made it! We picked up Stordo's on the way home and stopped for shave ice with ice cream!

Yesterday was a normal day, I worked and Micah went to school. We are having beautiful weather and mom and dad are having a great time!

Hats

I don't know if you know but I love when guys wear baseball hats. Darrick is not much of a hat person-it has to be the perfect hat to fit on his head-but when he finds it, it looks good. Micah and Jacob both look really cute in hats. Today we stopped at Old Navy because they were having a kids and baby sale. The boys are growing so fast and with this "cooler" weather we are having I pulled out their pants for them to wear and it looked liked they were waiting for a flood. So while we were shopping we found some cool hats.



Jacob got 2-one is red and says "Future Heartbreaker 2 cute 4 sure" and the other is green and says "Lucky O'Days Boys Club No Girls Allowed Moms are Okay". Micah got a green and white one that looks worn that says "11 Fog City Soccer".

Kung Hee Fat Choy

Last week Friday, in Micah's class they celebrated Chinese New Year-the year of the Boar. It is so interesting living where there is a huge Asian population-we never celebrated things like that when I was in school!

Happy Birthday Micah!

Parents Day!

All I want for Valentine's Day is my 2 front teeth...

Last night it happpened-the dangling tooth fell out. While Micah was brushing his teeth it started to bleed so I held it with a tissue, gave it a quick twist and out it came!

This coming Thursday is Micah's 6th birthday. Amoung toys that he asked for, he asked me for his own Bible and Bible cover. So yesterday after school we headed to Honolulu to Logo's Christian bookstore. We found a really great Bible published by Zonderkidz. It is called the NIrV Kids' Quest Study Bible. NIrV stands for New International Reader's Version-a complete Bible created especially for beginning readers. It is for ages 6-10 and I would highly recommend it. He also picked out a blue Bible Cover.

Since I am writing this in the early morning, before the boys get up, today is Parent's Day at school. Micah is super excited and I am looking forward to it too!

Our Weekend

Darrick was still in San Diego this weekend so they boys and I hung out! Darrick actually got to see Charlie, Maud and Amelie, our friend Steph, my parents and Uncle Marv and Dave, Laura and Elijah! I know he appreciated the effort you guys made to come see him!

Friday after school us + Jennifer and Brayden drove up to North Shore to get sandwiches at Stordo's deli. We took our food to Turtle Beach and dined next to one big sea turtle. But it was freezing and windy.

Just a side note-it has been so cold here for Hawaii! Sunday morning it was 60 degrees and everyone was freezing. Out came jackets, long pants and socks!

Saturday morning Micah had his second soccer game and scored the first goal of the game! They also decided on a team name "Blue Lightening" and I volunteered to make the banner!

That evening we had a BBQ Baby shower for our neighbors Melanie and Jason. Their baby boy is due any day now!

Sunday the boys and I went to church and then out to lunch at Panda Express. Micah insisits on eating his chow mwin with chopsticks and is getting pretty good. Jacob loves the orange chicken and gobbles it up. We did not watch the Super Bowl but watched cartoons together instead.

I also forgot to put in a few weeks ago that we just got the CW!!!!! Enough people complained and so they put it on. I am behind on 7th Heaven and Gilmore Girls but trying to catch up and Nicole I can watch America's Next Top Model!!
