Christian's Welcome from The White House

Like Ashton, Christian received his White House greeting from the Obamas. Very cool!!!

Happy Thanksgiving!

I am so thankful for my two healthy, beautiful children. An amazing, super helpful husband who makes parenting much easier and who treats me like a queen everyday. And of course my family & friends not only on the east coast, but my Hawaii Ohana as well. Life is good!



We spent Thanksgiving home just relaxing. Adam had to work until about noon so I just enjoyed the morning with the boys. Ashton is batteling a cold so he wasn't feeling like his self. The Willows provided our Thanksgiving dinner so I only had to make dessert...well I didn't have to:)

Christian's 1st UH Game....

Adam's boss had extra tickets to the game and we figured we would try it out with both kids. Christian was great! He was a little startled from the band and all the lights but he was a trooper and just hung out in my lap. Ashton was a great boy too! He sat in his seat, ate pizza, flirted with Riis and cheered on the Warriors.

Happy 4th Anniversary!

Adam and I celebrated our 4th Wedding Anniversary with both our boys at Roy's at Ko'olina. Ashton was great and Christian was a mama's boy the whole time.



These past four years has brought so much joy and I couldn't be happier! I always knew that Adam was an amazing man and treated me like a queen, but since having our boys, he has surprised me with being an AMAZING father as well. My boys sure are lucky to have Adam as their Daddy!

Waterpark fun!

We finally caved in and purchased the annual water pass to Wet N Wild and what a great invesement!! We went Saturday and Sunday! Christian is such a cruise baby that he just hangs out with Mommy/Daddy and watches all the kids. The water park has plenty of shade which makes it much easier than going to the beach with him. Ashton takes turns playing with us and just has a ton of fun playing in the water and going down the water slids with us. I think he likes hanging with me on the water slides since we go much faster (I still have yet to master Adam's technique of slowing down) than he does with Adam.

The fun never ends!

The kick off the end of my Birthday, we headed to the small fair to pet some animals, eat some fattening food and waste tons of money on games:) It's all worth it!

Fun with Mom-Mom and Daddy

We've been having a great time with Mom-Mom here. We went to the North Shore to get some shave ice, went to the swap meet to play tourist, went to lunch at Buca. Daddy and Ashton had fun at the Warrior's football game and had some good times at the water park.
A few of the pictures: Ashton put on his own shoes (backwards of course) and we drove down to the beach to see the see up of the Hawaiian Tropics Pro surf contest being set up.

Happy Halloween!

Kristin, Tom and Riis invited us over to celebrate Halloween with them again this year. Ashton was Buzz Lightyear with matching hot wheels and all! Christian didn't dress up this year, next year for sure.

Ashton, like every kid, loves candy so he had a great time trick or treating at a few houses. He soon learned all he had to do was open his bag and he was given candy. It was quite comical!

Here are some photos...yes that one photos is Ashton licking Red Riding Hood:)

Au'lani Breakfast

On of my birthday wishes was to take Ashton to Aulani for the character breakfast to see Mikey Mouse. We were lucky to get reservations for Sunday since the next opening wouldn't be until December!

The food was ehh, not worth the $$$, but the experience was. Ashton had the opportunity to meet Micky, Minny and Goofy. We meet Mikey during the entrance to be seated and had our photo taken with him. Ashton didn't really care too much for Goofy. But Minny, oh Ashton loved Minny! Minny had picked Ashton out of the crowd during one of parades! Ashton didn't know what to think, but when Minny came around to the table to do photos, he leaned in for a kiss and an extra hug!!! So cute!!

After breakfast, we went for a walk around the property. Very nice! I would have liked to take the official tour of all the neat features but we didn't have time. We were on Christian time....thus he needs to eat every hour.

Thanks Mom-Mom for giving Ashton an experience he won't forget!
