GIANT BUGS!!

Watch out, Pearl Ridge Mall is being invaded by giant insects! Sort of. On Wednesday we went to the mall to check out their new giant insect exhibit. It was pretty neat seeing over sized bugs move and make noise. On Macy's side they have a train that the kids can ride on while these huge bugs tower over them. It scared Sariah a bit so she refused to ride the train. The one on Macy's side is better than the one on Sear's side. On the other side they have only one giant bug and then this over sized display of three different bugs heads up close. I wouldn't waist the time to drive to the other side.

This one was labeled as a "Stick Bug", but it looks more like a leaf to me. So I'm gonna call it a "Leaf Bug."

I think this was some kind of cricket.

The only pic we took on Sear's side.

GOOOOOO JACKETS!!

It's baseball season again. This time it's the summer league and it's Elijah's 3rd season. They are actually called the Yellow Jackets, but they didn't add the word yellow and a pic of a bee to save money. So instead they have a yellow shirt with "Jackets" printed on it. Get it, Yellow (shirt) Jackets, ha ha ha. So unless you're pretty quick at catching things, they'll be the Jackets. Elijah has been practicing really hard and it's paying off, he's having his best season thus for. They had their first game today and Elijah got to play 1st base and pitchers mound. They usually put their better players in those positions, so yay Elijah. Well, they won! Yay! Go Jackets!

My All-Star!

Run, Elijah, Run!

Noah loves to be tossed around, especially by his dad.

I Got Tagged

Ok, I went digging at my moms house and came up with these pics. I posted three, but probably should have just picked one, oh well. I did have one of those waves at one point, but I couldn't come up with those pics. I guess I grew it out shortly after. So I don't have huge hair or a funky style, but I still wanted to be part of this tag. My mom made me wear a frilly dress for every school picture.

Me at 5



Me at 6. It's funny how your hair can go from straight to curly in one year.

Me at 9

Why did the chicken cross the road?..........

To eat some crackers of course.

How did they know we had food?

But first a trick... I command you all to sit.

They are so cute!

Good job! You get a treat.

I wanna see too!!

We shot these picks on Sat at Waimea Falls Park.

Happy Father's Day

To the most wonderful man that I know. Jason is my best friend, my better half, and a great dad to our children. He would swim through shark infested waters just to bring me a lemonade.

To my dad. For always willing to help me at the drop of a dime and loving me unconditionally. I know I wasn't the easiest teenager to have, but you are the best dad that you know how to be.

To Robbie. The biggest teddy bear that I know and the kids favorite playmate.

E.O.Y. Program

On Wednesday, the Mililani Waena 2nd graders put on an End of the Year Program for their parents. All the students showcased their talents. It was put together very well and the children did phenomenal. I had the hugest smile on my face and laughed almost the whole way through. This was Elijah's contribution to the talent show. He played a song call "Old West Rodeo" and he did an excellent job. I can't believe he'll be in 3rd grade. My little baby is growing up too fast.
