Just for Tawni!!

Today while feeding Branson the lunch of his choice all I could think about was my friend Tawni.. Who I think hates hot dogs more than anyone in this world.. So I had to take a picture of Branson eating a Raw hot dog just for U!! Love ya girl!!! 

Fun Weekend....

This last weekend we were so lucky to have Steven Jr. and Tamatoa Falatea with us.  We had so much fun and hope to do it again real soon...

We went to the Kaneohe mall and ate at Taco Del Mar. 

Steven and Brandon ate the HUGE Burrito!

Braxdon and Tamatoa shared a enchilada, and Braydon and Branson had tacos!

We made home made Root Beer!

And chilled in the hot tub!

Just Cuz...

This year was my year to plan Valentines, so we went on a dinner cruise with some friends.. We had such a great time... But I gave Brandon a hard time because it has been "many" years since he has gotten me flowers for Valentines day... He was a good sport about it...  Then he left for a few days to go back east. But when he returned home he did not come empty handed!! He brought me 36 Roses.... 12 White, 12 Red and 12 Intuition (pink and red mix)  And he made sure I knew they were not for Valentines, but they were just because.... What a great husband!!!!! Thank you so much, I love waking up to them every morning!!!!

Visitor Center

As you know when we have visitors there is a list of places we take them and so lucky you get to see the spots over and over..  haha... Today being Sunday we took the girls to the Temple Visitor center. Most of you know that the Temple is closed for 18 months for repair and remodeling. But we were still able to go in the visitor center and see a few short movies on families.. It reminds me how lucky I am to have such a great family.  

My THREE STUDS!!!

Before getting out of the car I reminded the boys that this is the temple grounds and we are at the house of the Lord, so please use quiet voices, no running, screaming, or fighting...

Braxdon not running or jumping.....

Braydon not running or jumping.....

And of course Branson not doing everything his two older brothers do!!!

They did a great job at listening don't you think.. hahaha.. Gotta love kids!!!

Honolulu ZOO

This week was the boys school field trip to the Honolulu Zoo! Brandon was voted to ride the bus with dozens of screaming kids, while I took Branson, Courtney and Morgan in my car peacefully watching Toy Story the whole way there... But we had a great time! So amazing to me that I have two Boys old enough to be on field trips together...

Here is Braxdon and Braydon visiting a few of our Relatives. 

(I wont mention which side they are on....)

Branson was so in love with this baby elephant statue. 

He just wanted to stand and hug it all day.. Repeating "my baby elephant"

 Braydon was so happy to be on his first Field Trip! 

Seal

She came back to sun bath on our beach, so I could not resist another great picture......

Hiking!!

Most morning Solo and I run to PCC and back, round trip I think it is just over 4 miles. But the other day we decided to hike up the mountain just behind the house!  We have Courtney and Morgan Adams visiting from Australia, so we thought this would be so fun!! Which it was!!!  It took about 30 min to get to the top, but the look out was amazing, we sat and watched Dolphins jumping and twirling out of the water!!  What a great way to start the DAY!

While mom and dad were gone

While we were in Vegas the boys stayed with Aunty Solo... She did so many fun things with them... And we are blessed she captured them on camera.... 

Thanks Solo for taking care of our boys!!! We love you!!!

Fireworks at PCC

Ice Palace with Friends

Samoan Culture night Practice

McDonalds

And of course Church....

Hope you guys know how much your Aunty Solo loves you!!!

Seal

We have a monk seal that shows up on the beach across the street from the house every once in awhile, and this week we got lucky because she came to visit!!! 

So Branson and I ran over to check her out!!

Las Vegas

This last weekend Brandon and I went to Las Vegas for the UFC fight with some Friends (who's names cannot be mentioned due to the Privacy Act!) We had a great time, shopping, laughing, playing and most of all EATING!! As you know we do not have Krispy Kream over here in Oahu so when we found them in Vegas it was as if we hit the Jackpot!!  

A big Thank you to our friends for such a great weekend, and a HUGE Thank you to my Sister Solo for taking such good care of our boys!!!!

Here are only a few pictures because you know what they say....

"WHAT HAPPENS IN VEGAS STAYS IN VEGAS!!"
