ESL Students!!

In the month of Feburary we were so blessed to be a part of an exchange program ran by BYUH for Chinese students. We had 3 different groups! Each were so fun and different.. We miss and love them. In such a short time they became such a huge part of our lives!

They had never Jumped on a Trampoline before.....

Never been to the beach........

And they LOVED to shop!!!!

Basketball

We had a GREAT and LONG Basketball season! The boys did such a good job and by the end they were hustling and making plays! It is so fun to watch them grow up and advance in the things they do!! We started to offer $5 for every basket made, you would not believe how much they improved their shots!! haha I am not against a little Bribery!!!!

Braxdon!

January!!!!

What better way to bring in the New Year than spending time at Kahana Bay Jet skiing and surfing! It was not the best of weather, but we had such a great day. The kids had fun surfing and catching frogs in the pond!!

Brandon and Dad

Braydon and Branson are such buddies. Always working on a project together!

Braydon is a great surfer! That Board is HUGE!

Braxdon did a great job and caught a few nice waves! Coming a shore to get Grandpa to try!

Joey and Branson relaxing on the float toys!

Very Quick Catchup!

This year we had such a great Christmas. The boys didn't ask Santa for much and you will never believe they got what they wanted.. It was such a beautiful day. After waking up extra Early and opening gifts we went to the beach!

I love the new years eve Tradition of opening Matching PJ's!!!

Our friends Heath and Beck were so wonderful to get us Shot Glasses for the special day.. Its Egg nog Dont worry!

Our Friends Kali And Sterling had a great New Years Eve party. I think this was the first year I have actually made it past 12!!! Thank you for all the food and fun!! We played Minute to win it and had so many great laughs...

Branson wouldnt let "cousin" Heath out of his sight!

We were so blessed to have Grandpa and Grandma here visiting to bring in the new year!!

There were so many fireworks that the kids started about 8 and had enough to last until after midnight! It was amazing.. Braxdon and Braydon had so much fun lighting the fireworks and throwing them to the middle for everyone to enjoy! Who knew their mother would let them play with FIRE!!

Winter Break

During winter break we decided to take the kids to Hilton Hawaiian in town and spend the night. The kids had so much fun running around together and swimming. The adults were kicked out of one room so all the kids could be together.. I cant remember the last time I had a sleep over with friends. It was so much fun..

The kids would race to the elevators and then wait patiently for us to arrive

Simmons Tower

Akana Tower

xmas Parade

It is so wonderful that we live in a place that is warm enough to have a Christmas Parade each year.. This was our first year to attend the Kaneohe Parade. We went with Akana Family and had such a great time. The kids loved running into the street to grab the candy and taking all the flyers!!

My boyz waiting for the parade to start.

The gang.. Thank you Akana/Robins family for picking such a wonderful spot.. We had shade and seats.. It was a great day!

Vanessa

Thank you Vanessa for being apart of our lives. We are going to miss you! But we are so excited and happy for your new adventure in life...

The Sunday Dinner Gang!!!

Halloween Night

Are you ever too old to got trick or treating? I dont think so!!!!

Our good friends Taylor and Trenson prove you can never be to old.. They did a great job being Pirates!

Gotta Love the close up of the night....

Every year we go to the Aumua family for Halloween night potluck.. They live in Laie so they are on the hot street!!! Here we are before the big walk around town. We only made it down a few streets and the boys were tired and wanted to go home.. Guess thats what happens when you spend 4 days celebrating!!
