Super Crafty!!!

Erin made this sign for us with her new vinyl cutter. She's super crafty and brought this with her all the way from WA on the plane. Love it!

My BF Erin

My friend Erin just came to visit, with her friend Mary and baby Grace. It was only for a few days, but they shot all over the island to see as much as they could and soak up some Hawaiian sun. It was so great to see an old friend and have company. Connor was excited he got to have a 'camp over' every night. He also mentioned that Erin wasn't allowed back unless she brought the kids with her. I guess Clint can come too:o) Thanks for coming to visit friend!

My Little Fish

Another round of swim lessons have begun. Connor has had these goggles since he started swimming last year, but now he's in a class with 3 other boys - who ALL wear goggles. Hmm.. peer pressure has begun. Or maybe he just wised up? Who knows, but now he spends more time under water than on top!

Go Jaguars!

Connor started another soccer 'season' this past week. There are 11 boys on his team this time around and we are pretty excited. Now there are enough kids so that they can rotate out and actually get a little break. First game was yesterday and the kids chose "Jaguars" as their name. They looked really good for having 5 new kids on the team. Going to be another exciting season! Go Jaguars!

Hello New Year!!!

Our friends came up with the great idea of going out to the sandbar for New Years Day.. fabulous! So we rounded up our gear, packed the cooler, and headed out to Kaneohe Bay. What a way to bring in the new year! We haven't been out there/on the boat since Labor Day. Very sad, but true. So our resolution this year is to make it out to the bay at least once a month:o)

Even Mangey came out with us and had a great day... little sun, little mooching treats off of friends, little swimming, and a little nap on the way home:o) Life is good!

Yeah, Santa Was Definitely Here!

This pile does not even include all the legos and some other bigger items he got! Scary... Next year Santa is going to be on sabbatical from Hawaii:o) I think Connor will still make out just fine.

Waimea Falls

Yesterday we went up to the North Shore and had a great day. We went to the Giovanni's for a shrimp plate (awesome!), saw some big waves (big to us but they were only 15-20'), visited Waimea Falls, and headed to Haleiwa for some Matsumoto's shaved ice. AWESOME DAY!

What to do on Christmas Eve in Hawaii??

ICE SKATE! Of course!

We had such a great time (even if you can't tell by Connor's fake smile:o)!

Connor wasn't so sure at first, but he caught on quickly, and was soon racing around the kids course. Awesome!

Holiday Get Together

We hosted a little holiday party with some friends on Saturday, accompanied by some delicious fondue. It was a fun, relaxing evening, which ended with a little rock band:o) Good times!

Santa Claus Is Coming To Town!!!

Connor's school did a holiday show today and every grade did a song and dance. This was Connor's was Christmas show debut:o)
