.who are those monkeys jumping?.

Makoa & Mehana of course...we got them a trampoline so they can get some P.E. in their days at home with Grandpa & Gram. Only thing is - we didn't get two of them so there are lots of lessons on sharing!

When they're in good moods though, they're pals and can't stop hugging! So silly...

...another visit to the park...

This was one of our usual visits to the park. Makoa & Mehana love going there to play and run around. We love it too since it tires them out, then we all can go home and take a nap :)

Our Visit from Aunty Noe & Uncle Derek...all the way from Chicago!

Aunty Noe & Uncle Derek came to visit this past January. These pictures are from a night we went to Roy's Ko`olina to celebrate Tutu, Pa & Gramma's Birthdays. Notice Mehana is missing...she stayed home with Grandpa & Gram since she's still learning how to sit nicely at a restaurant. Makoa did enjoy all of the attention though, espeically spending time with his Aunty Noe!

....per Lori's request....

here you go Lor - a taste of the grandparents!

m&m's holiday crafts

makoa & mehana did lots this past holiday season. since we had lots of parties, we had the kids decorate christmas cookies and sugar cone christmas trees. makoa & mehana also made a gingerbread house with their daddy. looking back on it...it definitely was a fun-filled holiday season spent with lots of family & friends!

Happy New Year!

Ringing in 2008...Hawaii style :)

The kids enjoyed watching the fireworks...Makoa even stayed up until 1 a.m.

Wishing everyone a great 2008!

Honolulu City Lights

Tis the Season...we took the kids to see the City Lights. Makoa enjoyed riding the train while Mehana was amazed by all the decorated Christmas Trees in Honolulu Hale and the lights surrounding it.
