So this are pictures from my trip back to Hawaii this past November. The kids and I had a blast. I had the opportunity to see my best friends go threw the Kona Hawaii Temple. Aunty Hi'i and Uncle Tom were sealed and Imi was sealed to her parents. It was an amazing day. I will have to write about the experience another time. Then it was also Laci's 2nd birthday where I went to church and then showed up at my sister's house for Laci's birthday party. I totally surprised my Sis. It was awesome. I was a little sad that my dad already had left to go home and my brother wasn't there. But seeing my Sister's face was priceless. The kids and I went to the beach a couple of time with Aunty Hii and Uncle Tom, Imi even took the day off to go and hang out with us. One day I took the kids to black sand beach where we saw the turtles and one day we went to Hilo to hang out with my Dad. Anytime I am in Hawaii its always awesome. It was a great trip and yes I survived traveling with three children and would do it again.

My Papa Souza 89 yrs old

This Man is amazing!!!! He and my Granny lived next door my whole life until I moved away to college. Not a day went by without seeing them from the time I was born till I was 18. He and my Granny taught us how to serve and love everyone. He turned 89 years old on Feburary 6th 2010.

Airport 11/2009

Yes I braved three little children flying to and from Hawaii alone. The kids were really well behaved. They also enjoyed every second of being on the plane.

The First Lost Tooth

Okay so the day before we left for Hawaii, Ty lost his first tooth. Aunty Kim Boyer helped him pull it out while I videoed it. He was so brave and cute about it. The next morning as we were getting ready to head to the airport he reported that the tooth fairy left him whole dollar. He was so excited and said now he has spending money on his trip. Kai'imi keeps saying when is it her turn.

Halloween 2009

Halloween this year was full of fun, we did our usual of taking them to Inkelys for the free pictures, walking main street, going to Colonial Square, going to Senior Citizen Center where Trent works and yes 4th year in a row Ty was sick but went along till it was time to trick or treat in the neighborhood where he feel asleep and slept the night away. Kai'imi and Ili got plenty to share. We always have their cousins come over and the Men take the kids around the neighborhood. The Dads enjoy taking them cause they trick or treat as well. They always stop at the Russons house and have a giant bowl of Chili.

Baby Animal Day at the ZOO

So I gathered my monkeys and took them to baby animal day at the Zoo, where we met their cousins. It was so much fun we got to see a baby elephant that already weighs 200 lbs, baby tiger cubs, and a baby monkey. The kids and I loved every second of it. Spending time with family is always the best memories and being at the zoo just added to it.

A pumpkin craving we will go....

This year we craved our pumpkins just the day before Halloween. Grandma Crockett watched my kids in the afternoon while I went to a Pharmacy Show that evening. When I got back we craved pumpkins. Ty and I worked on a scary monster together, Kaiimi and Grandpa Crockett worked on a silly face and Bret and Ili also worked on their own creation. It was fun. The kids didn't like cleaning out the pumpkins but shh neither do I. We put them on the porch but didn't get a chance to light them that night.
