more potty stuff..

So I am downstairs making Macaroni and cheese for my kids and niece for lunch and Luke was upstairs by himself. That is almost never a good idea! Anyway I yell up to him to tell him that lunch is ready and I hear him yell,"just a minute I am just drinking potty water!" So at first I am thinking that hopefully he is just drinking the water from the sink and just refered to it as the potty water. Then I decide that I should probably run up and check on him, that was a good idea. When I got there he is standing in front of the toliet with one on Jenna's tea cups and a fresh cup of Toliet water. He was mad that I interupted his fun. I certainly had a good laugh! Afterwards, I thought at least he was honest with me! Oh the joy of little boys!

potty face and kindergarten!

So you might be wondering what Luke is doing here, well, yep that is a potty on his face! the other day we thought it would be a good idea to show him his little potty and get him excited about going potty. well it worked just not in the way we would have liked. He takes the potty and puts it on his face and shouts look at me and them runs around saying "potty face" and laughing. It was pretty hilarious! Well, I guess it is getting him familiar with it right? He is definately our comedian!
I was looking through my pictures and had a longing to be back on the beach where it is nice and warm! So I just thought that I would share.

Today was a big step for me, I registered Jenna for Kindergarten! Yep, I am getting old,(at least I don't get stuff from the AARP like Dave!Sorry! Happy Birthday today! I love you!!) anyway we just went and filled out the paperwork for her to start this next school year. Crazy, that I am going to have a kid in school ! She is very excited, I am excited but a little nervous, all of you moms that have been through it I am sure understand. I am just going to miss her, we have lots of fun together. Alright enough of this sappy stuff... Anyway, it was just one of those things you have to do that make you think a little. But she will love it and do great!

I'm Back!!

Aloha!
I have been unable to post lately because I have been very busy laying on the beach in Hawaii! Dave and I went with my family for a whole week to celebrate my dad's 60th birthday! What a way to celebrate! My parents were kind enough to pay for our airfare as part of our Christmas present, so it made the trip a little more affordable. Unfortunatly for Dave there was too much shopping to do so we still spent a fair amount! Anyway I have to let all of you know my gratitude for my wonderful in-laws who watched my kids so that Dave and I could really have a stress free vacation together! ( Also thanks to Scot and Kirsten for their help too!) Anyway so here are a few pictures from my trip, it really is just a few I took like 150, thank goodness for digital cameras!

The morning after we arrived in Hawaii, Dave and I woke up very early because of the time change and (okay I admit that I woke Dave up early because I had been awake for awhile!, He didn't mind being woken up in Hawaii though.) Anyway this is the sunrise that first morning, isn't is gorgeous?! This was taken in the backyard of our house that we rented, pretty cool!
This is us at the Hawaii Laie temple. It is beautiful! Unfortunatley we never made it to so a session but walking around was wonderful and as always there was such a sweet spirit there.
Yep, this is me learning the Hula at the P.C.C Shake those hips!! Dave enjoyed watching this!
This is what I enjoyed! We watched these guys do a show and the one next to me climb up the palm tree to get a coconut. It's okay to drool ladies, I know I did!

This is one of my favorite pictures of Dave and I at the Lua at the P.C.C. This trip was so great for us! It is so nice to just be yourself with no stress and for me not to be the mom/slave/maid etc.. Anyway, we really enjoyed it! We also toured Pearl Harbor, went snorkeling, shopping, swimming, hiked Diamond Head, etc. If you want to see more pictures just let me know I would be more than happy to share! Although it was such a wonderful trip it was nice to sleep in my own bed and I totally missed my kids like crazy! Although everytime I talked to them they were having so much fun. Well, now it is back to real life and it is so cold here! My feet do not enjoy being in such confined places! Well, have a great day! Mahalo!
