Paradise Cove Luau

We decided to play tourists for once this past weekend and we headed down to Ko'Olina to the Paradise Cove luau. We had a great time! We were greeted with leis and mai tais (even a kiddie one for Makayla).

Beautiful birds! Elijah wasn't thrilled with having a bird on his shoulder but Makayla loved holding the 'baby' bird.

I have to include this one. I thought he was crying because I was holding him still. Makayla told me later that she pinched him.

Makayla got on stage to learn the hula (or the best she could in 2 minutes). Problem was the boy next to her kept bumping into her. Poor girl. She tried though and I plan to get her into hula lessons when she turns 4.

These last two pictures crack me up. This little boy of mine already LOVES the ladies!!! He is such a flirt!

Ice skating in Hawaii

A couple of weeks ago, we went to a birthday party for the sweetest six year old I know. :D Miss Sammy wanted her party at the Ice Palace. Off we went in our warm clothes and jackets. I was not about to get on the ice so Daddy was on Makayla duty. She had a great time!!! Daddy was sore by the time it was all over. They had the walker things for her to hold on to and by the end of the day, she didn't want her Daddy holding on to it or her!

Elijah and Sarah Cate (She is 3 weeks older than Eli)

Elijah's 1st birthday! *Lots of pictures ahead!*

We celebrated Elijah's first birthday on the 8th! I can't believe how fast time is flying! It seems like just yesterday, that little 8lb. 6oz. baby made us a family of four. :D He had his 1 year check up the day after his birthday and he is just over 28in. tall and is weighing in at 19.2lbs. He isn't walking yet but he is standing on his own and cruises the furniture.

We had a house full for Elijah's party! We had a great time but we missed those of you who couldn't be here with us!! And now, the pictures!!! There are a ton so bear with me. :D These were taken with three different cameras. :D
