I Mustache You a Question...

What an awesome pacifier...I just wish it was the right shape for my pacifier-snob!

What To Do...

Finding Mom's phone lying around is cause for some SELFIES

And, ever-loved pics of the babe!

Little Boy Blue...

These two are super pals!

Coconuts, or Just Plain NUTS!

The best, most yummiest, perfect treat at the end of the day is coconuts!  We just so happen to live in a place where coconut palms are everywhere we look!  It's always a happy surprise when dad comes home and opens up a bunch for us to snack on!! Yum!

This night is a good night for snacking and sleeping!  I mean, why not pull all of our blankets out onto the (dirty) grass and look at the stars!  Sounds good to me (says the kids...but I do admit, they sure are cute!!!)

Who Will Buy....

That time of year again...fundraisers (Ahhh!  Head for the hills! I hate these things!)

But he sure is cute, isn't he...I guess I will buy a box of popcorn, or 20...

Up, Up, and Away!

This guy thinks he can start standing already!!

 Slow down baby!!

Another Day in the Office!

We are part fish, I think!

Back to the Beach!

Here we are, at it again!  And who can blame us!  It is so beautiful!  

 Lucky us!!

Messy Art = Fun Art!

Can't remember exactly what was happening here, but it looks like fun!  

I do know they were doing clay...which was caked all over my table at the end of the day!  What a mess to clean!  But boy, did they enjoy it!

Picnic Time!

After Stake Conference we always picnic it up on the grass afterward!  It's super fun and yummy!  We semi potluck, meaning, we all bring our own food - but enough to share with anyone who is interested.  Lorie told me Helaman said, "Mom!  You have to bring your Musubis, what else will Tyler eat!?!"  It is true!  Tyler always looks forward to Lorie's Musubis after church in Kona!

It's Good to be so Happy!

Smiles All Around!!!

 Such a cutie!

I've Got Crabs!

 Hunting was good at the beach today!

 Spencer's was very crabby :-)

 The view was great!

We can't complain!

Which would you chose?

Brad needed some plants to go around his pool.  The girls modeled each choice perfectly!

Whatever it Takes!

These dirtballs love to WORK! (And definitely get Icees!  That's the yummy part that keeps Sina going back!)  

A Good Place to Stop and Rest...

Nothing beats the heat like a good shady spot!  Thanks Dad! 

A is for Apple...

Sina started Preschool this year and was always coming home with super cute art work!  

A is for Jonny Appleseed!

I had this brilliant idea that I'd do a photo collage of all the spectacular things she was learning and bring home.

E is for Elephant!

 I'd take a picture of each letter and then make her a scrapbook at the end of the alphabet!  

 The only problem is...I only got 4 out of the 26 letters we have...Dang it!   It would have been super cute!
F is for Frog!

 P is for Picture ?  Maybe, I can't remember this one...oops!

All in a Day's Work

The job in Kona ended and it was time to load up the machine.  Good thing Tyler was there to help out!!

 

Loading up the excavator

This lot was at the top of the most impossible subdivision!  It was full of "S" turns and was most definitely NOT built for having a huge semi truck, hauling a giant excavator, driving around in it.  Brad's expertise are the only reason his machine made it out in one piece! Look at that 1/2 inch clearance!

 On the way home...Cruz thought the job was so well done, he decided he would feast on his hands!

Left, Left, Left, (No) Right, Left...

I would imagine the probability of losing a slipper would be 50%, given that there are 2 of them.  What do you think the chance of losing only right shoes, on every pair of shoes you own would be?!?  Yeah, well, Sina did just that...maybe I should take her to Vegas!

It Grew!

We got a gift from a friend who was moving back to the mainland... a slimy, little, fat, Waipio tadpole.  We were instructed to feed it boiled lettuce.  We were diligent and after about 2 months...it was ready to be re-introduced back into it's natural habitat!  It had grown into a frog!!  

 It was so fun to watch!  I was amazed that it actually turned into a frog!  (All the tadpoles I had as a kid ended up dumped out of my nasty bucket, dead, in the backyard.  Not on purpose, I just didn't know the secret...BOILED LETTUCE!  Who knew!?!)

We took Mr. Frog back to a pond at the nature park.

 The release was intense.

 We continued to watch our beloved frog in it's natural habitat for another few minutes.  We (finally) felt that this one would make it!  Happy news for my counter!  It was ready to be cleared of the frog cage!
