Way overdue photos

Aloha everyone! So it's been a few months since I posted pictures. This post will have a few random photos from May and June and also pictures from my surprise trip to Alabama in May. I was able to be in AL for my brothers' graduation,for my nephew's birthday party and also attend a very dear friend's baby shower. It was a great trip and I was able to eat at some of my favorite restaurants!

One day, before our trip to AL, we went up to the North Shore for shave ice at the famous Matsumoto's.




Also in May, we said goodbye to our great neighbors.

After about 16 or 17 hours of total travel time, the kids and I made it to Enterprise.
Mak & Benjamin our first night there. I think they were watching Mickey Mouse.



Elijah's first trip to Larry's BBQ (Blain favorite place in E'prise)


Mak & Eli with my friend, Brandy. She came down from TN for her family to host a baby shower for her. She welcomed a beautiful baby boy last week!


Met some friends at the park one day. I think we were there all of 20 minutes. It was too cold for us Hawaiian wannabes. (I think it was 60*) :)



Brandon, Deidre and I took the kiddos to the Army Aviation museum. The kids loved seeing the helicopters!



Elijah eating some yummy southern cooking... goulash, collard greens, fried cornbread. He loved it!

Mongolian night at the Kaneohe Marine Corps base


We tried to go on a submarine tour down in Honolulu. It was cancelled on us twice due to poor visibility. We have another time set next weekend. Hopefully we are actually able to go on this one.

Blain's deployment is quickly approaching so he had to pack his box before we went on our trip to FL. The kids in the box...

Easter weekend... Part 2

Easter Sunday, the Fuller and McIntosh families got up super duper early (4am) to go to the Easter sunrise service aboard the USS Missouri at Pearl Harbor. We left our house at 5am and the service started at 6:30.

Makayla & Will dark and early


Tired little man




Makayla & Will checking out Celine (Mak's cabbage patch baby). Makayla was trying to teach her baby to sign "Mommy".

The USS Missouri


After the service we came home and the kids opened their Easter baskets.



My silly boy likes to go under our bar stools. Well, this particular day, he got stuck. He was YELLING at me but I had to take a quick photo before I let him out! :D


While Blain & the kids took their naps, I made deviled eggs and finished making these... Mini Cheesecake Baskets


Took our eggs and our cheesecake baskets to the McIntosh's house for a late lunch. Lisa made a great meal for us. Thank you, Lisa & Travis for having us over!!!


Swordfighting anyone?


Blain and the little men


After lunch, Lisa and I hit the backyard and hid eggs for Makayla and Will.
READY, SET, GO






Eli thought it would be fun to eat some grass


And stick a lollipop up his nose


The kids are growing like weeds! Makayla informed me the other day that she is almost 4 (her birthday is in September). LOL When did that happen?! Didn't I just have her? She is doing great! She is still enjoying her little preschool at the YMCA. She's a sassy little booger! Elijah is getting to be a big boy. He is 13 months old now. The little stinker just started walking Thursday night. He still prefers crawling (because he's a speed demon on his knees) but he's up to probably 7 or 8 steps in a row... just depends on what he's after. :D

Easter Weekend... Part 1

We had a very busy Easter weekend! On Saturday, they had a Disney Character Breakfast and FunFest here on post. I found out quickly why the tickets to the breakfast were so cheap. None of them looked like the real deal! Makayla asked where Pocahontas was and she had just walked by. I pointed her out and Makayla said, "That IS NOT Pocahontas!" LOL We still had a good time though.

MWR Hawaii had their FunFest and Travel Fair after the breakfast. There were games, rides and McGruff the Crime Dog. The Easter Bunny was also there.
It started pouring rain while Blain & Mak were waiting for a ride. Pour girl got drenched!

After the FunFest, we went out to lunch with the McIntosh's. :D
