First day of school and we've got everything ready. Backpacks, check. Home lunch, check. Uniforms on, check. Smiling mom waving good-bye at the door, check.

Micah's Birthday!

Today is Micah's birthday. I can't believe he's 8 years old. We didn't do too much because the celebration will be on the day he is baptized, which will be Aug. 13th. So stay tuned. In the mean time, please enjoy this lovely home made card that Kara constructed all by herself. Isn't that the cutest thing you ever saw.

Malaekahana After a Storm

It had been storming lately, but finely the sun came out and we were not going to just sit at home. After doing chores we headed to the closest beach. We kind of forgot what happens to a beach after a storm.

In case you're wondering, this is what happens to a beach. A lot of debris gets washed down from the mountains. Well. What do you do when you have a beach riddled with sticks.

You build dungeons.
You make forts.
Or whatever else your heart desires. The kids didn't care that there were sticks everywhere. In fact, it made for a fun afternoon of building.

Still Sick

Everyone here is still sick. That is all.

Leigh's Birthday

It was Leigh's Birthday today!! My firstborn turned 14. Like the good girl that she is, she was very patient with all us because we were all sick as a dog to be doing any celebrating, and we were in the middle of getting our car fixed.

Bright and early, her Beehive advisor had come to wish her a happy birthday and dropped off a cake.

Sis. Napeahi, you are the bomb!

Later that morning, Sis. Lee came by and took Leigh out for a movie and lunch. Leigh had a fun day, thank goodness because the rest of us were sick as a dog.

Later Dez from her Mia Maid class came by and dropped these goodies for Leigh and wished her a Happy Birthday. I would post a picture, but was requested by both girls not to post it (due to them both just having had a shower.)

Later, when Randy and I were feeling better, we were able to get her birthday presents. Sonia Kashuk Make-Up and applicators and her favorite book series.

We didn't have cake until Monday. We were finally beginning to feel better then.

Leigh is such an awesome girl and our family is truly blessed to have her. She's talented in many ways and is growing up to be a great young lady.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LEIGH!!! WE LOVE YOU!!!

So Embarrassing!

I seem to be really good at getting myself into embarrassing situations. Granted having your car breakdown on the side of the road is not that embarrassing for me. Having your car breakdown and not having your cell phone can kind of be a little embarrassing. You know, because you have to ask a total stranger to borrow a cell phone.
I'll tell you what is REALLY embarrassing is when your car breaks down on the side of the road, you don't have your cell phone, so you have to jump out (in the rain) and ask to borrow someone's cell phone, while YOU'RE IN YOUR PAJAMAS!!!

It was quite a morning. It didn't help that I had just finished a shift at the hospital so I was going on 24+ hrs of no sleep. So not only was I embarrassed, but delirious. Welcome to my world. For more details of the event go here for the full story.
