Ohana means Family





Hailey and Leah wearing their "Hawaii dresses" as they call them. They love to play dress up with them and wear them to church. I'm so proud I passed along the love of their culture.










The Rice Titas











I like this picture of Leah and I. Leah always looks cute, but I actually got a good picture....and for all you who know what it's like to try and take my picture, then you'll appreciate this one!

Our New Wheels




Saturday we decided to take a drive down to Portland to buy a 2002 Honda CRV. Well, that turned into an adventure since the car dealer lied to us and told us the car was not a "smoker" car, when in all reality you could smell the stink as soon as you opened the doors! So, we drove all the way to Portland to eat at McDonalds. (No, we did not buy the car).

Then Sunday we went and looked at this car and it was perfect. Everything we wanted: 2002, low miles, nice condition, sunroof (very important to the girls), tinted windows, nice wheels. So, we bought it. Yes! On a Sunday! You gotta do what you gotta do....

We LOVE it. To us, it feels like a BMW or Mercedes because of what we are coming from. So, we just wanted to share it with all of you. I know you won't like it nearly as much as we do....but oh well. You don't have to drive it. I do. And that's all that matters!

Roughin' It

This last weekend we decided to take a family camp-out. We drove an hour to a place in Olympia Washington. We spent 2 days and 2 nights there. We found ourselves sleeping on the asphalt of a handicap parking stall the first night because the campsite was so full! We got "special" permission from the camp host. Did we really look/act that handicap? (No offense to anyone).

















The girls had a blast. What kid wouldn't with that much dirt! You can tell just by looking at Leah's face! Is that chocolate? NO. She tried to eat dirt. In fact, she found that it tasted so "yummy" that she decided to add it to a bag of chex mix: cereal, pretzels, twigs, rocks, and a little dirt just for taste!

They had fun and Hailey was always good for a goofy pose in front of the camera! She always has to be the center of attention.




To Be a Kid Again...

Hailey is so cute. She found these flowers and asked me if she could pick them to play music with because they look like bells! If only the things that kids think of were really true! How fun would that be if flowers could play music....




For the most part, Leah wore her bike helmet all over the camp, not just when she was on the quad. She was so adorable as she discovered the "outdoors". She liked everything except one thing...........................

her blue camping chair! She didn't like the color blue. She wanted red! There were 3 times she cried: over the blue chair, when she lost her 2 plastic cows, and when she wanted to go on the "Roller Coaster" again!
