The Boys... Fishing

A couple Fridays ago Will decided that he and Connor needed a little 'fishing time'. So we went up to the lake in Wahiawa and broke out the rods. Mangey came along too, in true family outing style. Then we feasted on Boston's Pizza for dinner and let me tell you, it never tasted so good as it did that night! The fishing was such a hit that it had to be done the next day too. See below....

The boys, round 2, Saturday at Hickam Harbor.

Men in Blue

Yes, it's official... the Navy has come up with their own cami's - designed to blend right in with the ocean:o)

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter from our fam to yours!

Good, Good Times! (longest blog entry ever!)

Kids posing at the Lava Tree Park. Great sign!

A beautiful rainbow we saw on the way back up the coast from the lava fields!

Rainbow Falls

The kids posing near one of the steam vents at Volcano National Park. Silly!

Aunt Suzette showed the kids how to make 'turd castles.' Learn something new every day! LOL

Will and Jon went fishing and caught another mahi mahi (which happen to be very tasty!) Go Boys!

A booze cruise around Waikiki with friends, priceless!

The view from our deck, complete with the ocean fed pond that we snorkeled in our back yard!

The kids posing outside the park, before we checked out Kilauea.

Snorkeling at Huanama Bay.. excellent! Connor has officially learned to use his snorkel and flippers to see all the cool fish. The best part is hearing him grunt under the water when he sees stuff. I think everyone in a 20 ft radius can hear him:o)

Kunia Derby Racing

Now this was fun!

Spring Break With Friends!

Our awesome friends, the Panik's, also came out to visit us! We took them to just about every great beach we knew.... Hickam (which was Graham's first beach run!), Ko Olina out at the lagoons (where this shot was taken) and of course out to the sand bar via our boat! We had such a great time, we sure hope they did too!
The other day we went to the Honolulu Zoo with friends from school... all boys!

Today we went to Lanikai Beach with friends from school, total blast! All boys:o) How did we get so lucky?!? I wonder what we'll do the rest of the week?!? Choices, choices....

TA-DA!

Here they are, our gorgeous, yummy cherry tomatoes!!! Not bad at all.

Tomatoes In March?!?

I guess a tomato plant is nothing out of the ordinary, but this plant came about in unusual circumstances. My friend Linda gave me a strawberry plant last year after they moved here and came to dinner. We got a few strawberries from it (maybe Rocco was snacking on them all) but it died. And I thought there was a weed taking over in the planter. I let it go for a little while, then asked Will about it. We both thought it looked (& smelled) like a tomato plant. But how could that be? So we waited some more and then saw tomatoes growing. How crazy! I had to put a huge stake in the planter the other day, and tie it to the post so it wouldn't fall over. Watering it like a feign too. Hopefully these bad boys turn red and they are tasty! I'll let you know....
