it's always nice returning to hawaii

this picture is on bikini beach

just down the the street from house

our favorite park to go to was right next to the temple

    

justice loves looking at photos of himself

he would pose for pictures and videos for me all day

he cracked himself up whenever he looked at them

these are just a few of my favorites 

kash 

one of the most athletic 4 year olds 

kash's friend liked to visit us at the park

he always had some crazy tricks to show us 

and of course, kash would always want to try them

posing for pictures yet again

we loved going to the gym to play basketball

knox loved finding places to hide and climb

the ipad has a way of keeping these boys entertained

could not have been more excited about returning to these kiddos

from golf carting, basketball, shoots and ladders, war, jump rope, hula hooping, the park, soccer, power rangers, biking, frozen yogurt, football, taking photos to beaching it up

we always had a blast

these two hoodrats came honeymooning to oahu

i was so sad i wasn't able to go to hannahs wedding

but seeing them in hawaii was pretty great

i loaned them my car for the week so they could cruise the island

auntie and uncle came to HAWAII!

they went on a cruise through all the hawaiian islands

and were kind enough to make time to see me while on oahu 

i loved seeing them

auntie and i cruised the entire island 

we were able to have some wonderful conversations 

about life, love, marriage, religion, family...

i'm so blessed to have such wonderful examples in my life

for morgan's birthday we had a flour fight

we got a ton of nylons, filled them with flour and whacked each other 

it was quite entertaining

cruisin' northshore

waimea 

one of my favorite beaches

it was crazy how calm it was in the summer

almost like a lake

one of my quiet house roommates got engaged

we had a bachelorette party for her

and played some pretty entertaining games

happy birthday miss ASIA

asia climbed up on a ladder and gave us a speech for her birthday

that girl cracks me up

she is so funny 

mainly because she doesn't realize what she says and does is so funny 

chillin' at waimea with this love

can't believe she's going on a mission

dance partayyyy at the buddha house

ONLY IN HAWAII

one time i left my backpack in my car overnight

it was a terrible mistake

for the next couple of weeks every time i pulled something out i'd get a surprise along with it

the picture above from when i pulled my binder out in the library, nasty

the picture to the left is CHICKEN FEET

no where else have i seen that sold in the local grocery store
