Wednesday Early out day!

Every Wednesday the boys get out of school at 12:30. So it seems we have a longer day to find something to do! This last Wednesday it was pouring rain in Hauula. So we took a short drive to Wiamea Falls where the sun was shinning and the birds were singing.  We walked the short distance to the falls and the of course took a very long swim.  The boys did not want to wear the life jackets but it is a rule, and it makes it easier on me when I am alone to watch all three of them. Branson is getting so brave, he would stand on the boogie board and jump off. 

As you can see we had a great time.

This is my three muscle men showing off on the way back down the falls.

And of course a stop at Ted's Bakery for a Pumpkin Cream pie and Hamburger. (in that order)

Thanks to Solo for taking the pictures.

Kahuku Graduation

High School Graduation is HUGE over here.. There are so many people it fills the CAC (where the BYUH Basketball games are held) The Graduation lasted 3 hours, there were 10 Valedictorians.  After the Class receives their diplomas everyone goes out onto the Rugby field to greet their Graduates.  This year we had 15 from our ward, so I took the boys to give Lei's to them.  Well you meet them at spots marked on the filed by the First letter in their last name. And of course no one of our graduates had the same last name.  So we walked all over the fields trying to find our friends.  Did I mention it had been raining for 2 days... So Below is a picture of what our feet looked like after we were finished...

ME!!

Braydon could not stand the mud between his toes.. He was the first one in the shower to wash so this picture is half mud / half clean.

Branson (he was carried most of the time..haha)

Congrats to all the Graduates of H4!! We Love you!!

Valentines Lunch

So I know this picture is old, but I just received this picture that my Friend had taken. The boys had a special Valentines Lunch for Parents. It was Cheese Pizza and Chocolate candy bar. 

Special Visitor

This last weekend we had a Special Visitor ABBY!! I love this girl. She came over to Hawaii for a Dental Convention and was able to come a few days early to spend them with us. We did many fun things including the usual Pearl Harbor, Swap meet and PCC. 

Thank you so much for coming to see us WE MISS AND LOVE YOU!

Spirit Week

The boys had Spirit week at school and one of the days was supposed to be Crazy Hair. So they all wanted a Mohawk. And to tell you the truth doing a crazy hairdo takes longer than the regular day hairdo..

Family DAY!

This weekend was so relaxing and fun.  We took the jet skis out and had a great family day at Kahana.

Branson telling me he is going to go Super Fast

I am really loving the age my boys are at. They can play together for hours. Braxdon pulled Braydon and Branson on the boogie board. There is nothing better than your children's laughter!

Randomness of Life

So apparently the boys found my camera!! When I went to download some pictures I found these fun photos... Nice work boys... By the close up shot of Branson I assume he is the photographer on most of them!

I love to see proof that my boys are happy and can play nice with each other!

2X4 Size Sliver

This weekend we went to a birthday party at our friends the Daily's. We had a great time, lots of food, and water slides. It was great until Braxdon got a HUGE Sliver in his big toe. He was so brave while Brandon cut it out! Maybe we should wear shoes even if it is Hawaii!

The blood after the sliver was pulled out

THE HUGE 2X4!!!

Way to be tuff Buddy!

Mothers Day!!

Thank you to my wonderful Husband, three boys and Sister Solo I had the best mothers day ever!! Brandon was leaving town on Sunday so we went out as a family on Saturday night to Lei Lei's our favorite restaurant at Turtle Bay! After dinner we went over to the resort to lay on the hammocks and watch the sunset. 

Here is what we saw..... Breath Taking Right?

Here I am relaxing after a huge dinner....

Then Sunday morning I woke up to Breakfast in Bed. Well really I came to the table beacuse I did not want to eat alone in bed.. haha..

Braxdon, Braydon and Branson along with Dad and Solo made the best French toast, Cut strawberries, and sausage anyone has ever tasted.

Thank you to my family for making Mothers Day such a special day!! 

Super Star.. (again)

The day before Brandon and I left for our cruise Braxdon's teacher told us that Braxdon had been chosen Super Star again from his class. The theme was Confidence and she felt he was a perfect choice.  The only problem was mom and dad would not be there.  We were able to keep it a secret from him until the big day... Solo did such a great job in supporting Braxdon. She made sure all her friends that have been involved with our family through out the years were there.  Here are the great pictures Solo took for us to remember the big day!!

We are so proud of our little Braxdon. He is so smart and growing up way to fast!

Brax receiving his certificate

We are so blessed to have so many family and friends who will drop whatever they have to come and support our kids. Thanks so much to all of you!!

Solo made the afternoon special for Braxdon by inviting everyone over for Chili and Cheese hot dogs. 

After the assembly Mrs. Espinoza (Braxdon's teacher) said to Solo, "I didnt know Braxdon had such a large Brown Family!!" haha..

Hawaii May Day

Every May in Hawaii they have a May Day Celebration. 

It is where the culture of Hawaii is celebrated. 

Each year at the boys school each class puts on a dance performance. This year was so fun to see both boys love dancing with their classmates.  

Braydon is getting ready for his big number. 

They are performing to "Under the Sea" from the Little Mermaid.  

Braydon is the cutest fish I have ever seen.

He knew all the moves and did them with such Style.

Braydon with is Friend Tomasi

Braxdons class performed to La Cucaracha (the mexican cock roach song)

Braxdon and his partner Lili did such a great job. 

They were chosen to help choreograph the dance moves.

Braxdon being a very handsome cock roach

Thanks for making May Day so much fun. We enjoyed watching the boys perform and hearing everyone cheering for them.  

When I was walking Braxdon back to class I asked him who he got his nice dance moves from (while shaking my hips to look like him) and he looked at me and said quickly.. "must have been DAD!"

Scuba Branson

After we returned home from our cruise when I was unpacking I turned around to see Branson wearing my Scuba Mask.. I couldn't resist taking pictures.. So cute.

Soon buddy you will be able to dive the beautiful ocean with your mom and dad!

Cruise

Last week Brandon and I went on a Cruise with my Aunt Sue and Uncle Gary.  The places we visited were San Juan, Antigua, BVI, St. Thomas, and Nassau Bahamas.  

We went on Carnival Cruise Lines, because it is the Party ship.. 

This is my First Class Seat from Hawaii to Atlanta.. The seat fully reclined into a bed, along with your very own movie screen.. Yippy!! (maybe I am not afraid to fly anymore.. haha)

Here is the wonderful Breakfast they served on the flight just before landing.
In St. Thomas we purchased an underwater Camera, here is Brandon trying it out
Pulling into Port at Nassau Bahamas
Nothing like shopping in the little markets. Gotta love all the purses!
Thanks got Gary and Sue we had a great time and hope to do it again real soon!!
