"Reconnect 2009"

Keola and I got to take a trip withOUT the kiddies this past October. Thankfully to the g'parents this was possible. We decided to go to Texas since my sister-in-law is there and Keola is a huge Dallas Cowboys fan so we needed to check out the new stadium. We also decided on a side trip to New Orleans. All in all, it was our time to reconnect and we had a blast! Enjoy some pictures from our trip...which are mostly EATING, DRINKING, and THE GAME...

*Happy 5th (May 5) Birthday Makoa!*

Makoa had a great time celebrating his 5th birthday with his Pali Preschool friends as well as family/friends at our home with an elephant themed party! We even had the Tumble Bus come over and the kids loved it! I still can't believe he's 5 already....my how time flies!!!!!

The kids all got to paint a elephant bank to take home :)
