New pictures for February

Up on the North Shore...





Cute little 'nekkid' baby


Makayla started her Creative Movement class a couple of weeks ago. Feb. was a weird month because she had one class and the next Saturday, they had a tea party since it was Valentine's Day. They didn't have class yesterday (21st) and then they are to have class next Saturday. I don't know how they expect them to learn anything in 2 hrs for the whole month. Hopefully, March is planned a little better.


Blain is on the Big Island for training for a couple of weeks, so I took the kids down to Waikiki yesterday to go to the Aquarium. We went once after we moved here and I was still pregnant with Elijah. The kids loved the fish! Elijah was so excited!



They loved this tank


He really liked the jellyfish






You can see the state fish of Hawaii swimming towards Makayla... the Humuhumunukunukuapua'a


We really wish Daddy could've been here with us. :D


We walked through the aquarium in record time so we still had an hour left on our parking meter. We took our time walking back to the car. We checked out the ocean...


Elijah was tired of being in the stroller and tired of me taking pictures.




We stopped at the park across from the aquarium and I used Diamond Head as my backdrop.





And the soon to be birthday boy. I can't believe Elijah will be ONE two weeks from today!!!


We're hoping that this next week flies by. We can't wait for Daddy to come home on the 3rd and for Nana to fly in on the 5th.

Bowling and Ace of Cakes

We went bowling with our friends, the Cottrill family, a couple weekends back. It was the first time Blain & I had been in years! Blain and Chris did just fine. Kristin and I probably should've played with the girls in their lane. :D





Last week, the Ace of Cakes crew was here in Hawaii making a cake and filming an episode for their show on Food Network. I believe it'll be the season finale in April. The kids and I went to the unveiling of the cake and autograph signing. It was so neat to see!!! I love their show!!!

Duff and the crew


Chef Duff signing Makayla's paper... She told him that her daddy flies Blackhawks... So cute!

Geoff and Erica talking to Makayla & Elijah


The cake looked great!!! What made it even better was that it was a blackhawk and the rotorblades turned!!!

Random pictures

Just wanted to share some photos from the past couple of months.

Riding the train at Pearlridge Mall before Christmas




Elijah had his first black eye last week. He was standing in front of the tv cabinet and hit his eye on the doorknob. Poor baby! He's had his first busted lip and his first black eye before his first birthday!




At Drew's 1st birthday





Our friends, Lisa & Travis, took our pictures for our Christmas card back in November. This is some of what we got. :D




Makayla & Will



Last but not least... we had our holiday ball back at the beginning of December so we got all dressed up. Makayla spent the night at the McIntosh's and had a night filled with popcorn and movies with Will. Elijah stayed here at home with my friend's daughter. It was nice to get out for the evening, even if it did take us THREE HOURS to make a 45 minute trip. Stupid construction!!!
