Kids

Of course on black Friday morning Ethan sleeps until 7 am instead of his usual 5 in the morning.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Halloween

 

This was about as close as I could get Abigail to actually stick her hand in the pumpkin

"Mommy, I want THIS one!"

"Okay, maybe not"

Not exactly sure what this was about

Our handsome little man

We love the Waimanalo Country Farms pumpkin patch - it's a little smaller than the Aloun farms one, no amusement park rides but much less dusty, crowded and, for us, a MUCH shorter drive.

Zoo Trip

My favorite photos from our zoo trip over Abigail's fall break:

There's always one

Gymnastics class starts by running laps around the floor and sure enough, there's Abigail running in the opposite direction from everyone else.

Another first

While brushing her teeth last night Abigail lost her first baby tooth.  Fortunately she wasn't over the sink at the time because it literally fell out of her mouth.

Catching Up

Easter baskets (yes, I'm THAT far behind)

And this was so long ago I don't remember what the heck she was doing here - but it sure looks funny

Movie Night

CHEESE!

One of our traditions - taking a family photo outside our house before we move

Ethan's Birthday

We went to 808bounce in the Windward mall for Ethan's birthday and I would NOT recommend this place to anyone.  There was absolutely no parental or employee supervision and they only had four bouncy toys.  After Abigail got practically crushed we decided we'd had enough.  Definitely not worth our $16 admission price - we would have been better off just going to the free children's play area just one floor down.  (Okay enough ranting).
