Emily turns 3!!!


Emily bending down to take a bite of her birthday cake!She likes it!!!!!

We had Emily's 3rd birthday party at Hickam beach....we thought where else are we going to live that we can have a birthday party on the beach in November??? What a fun time!! All of our friends came and the kids swam and played in the sand. Emily wanted a purple birthday party this year. Well purple is what she got...EVERYTHING was purple. I decided to try to attempt to make Emily's birthday cake this year and my toughest critic LOVED her cake. The best part of the day was right after she blew out the candle she bent down and took a big o bite from the cake...tooooo funny! It is really hard to believe how fast three years has gone and how big our little girl is getting.

Another Day in Paradise!







Our friends Stacy and Joel rented a boat and took us out on it this weekend. There is a sandbar inside one of the bays that people go and anchor then play in the water and sand. Well it was a bit rainy for part of our time and it happened to be high tide so no sandbar but we were in good company and had a awesome spread of food so it was perfect! We can't wait to do it again.

Levi was soooo funny. I think he will be our Air Force Pilot not our Navy Officer since the boat put him straight asleep....twice, but he really enjoyed watching the planes fly overhead!! And of course he found every button there was to be pushed!

Emily did so good too. She got in the water with Ben for a short swim and sang us all some of her Emily songs.CLICK FOR MORE PICTURES:

Is This How I Get Dried Off?

The Navy Ball 2009

The Navy Ball was last week. Ben and I had tickets but at the last minute gave them to another couple. Since we already had a sitter and a room downtown we still got dressed up went to the prewine party, ate a fancy dinner out then came back to the ball and crashed it so we could do some dancing. We had a really fun time.

First Swells of the Season

We took a drive to the North shore to see the first swells of the season. This video really does not do justice. I could not believe how big they were and this isn't what they consider huge....

Princess Emily dancing again!

I apologize in advance for the side ways video...it is to funny to not post.

We had just bought Emily some Princess shoes and necklaces for a Princess birthday party she will be attending hence all the shoes.

Sea Life Park!





While Ben was busy catching us our dinner one Saturday with Charlie (deep sea fishing) the girls (and Levi) spent the day at Sea Life Park. The video is of Emily and Hannah dancing instead of watching the seals do their thing..but it was entertaining to watch. Levi was fascinated with the big aquarium and the divers inside cleaning the tank.


Thunderbirds!!




i
The Thunderbirds were here for a weekend of shows!!! We were very lucky to not have to brave the crowds at Hickam Airforce base to see them we were able to walk just down the block and get great seats at the end of Ford Island. We were also lucky to be able to see their show Wed, Thur, Friday, Sat and Sun since they practiced everyday before their actual show. Levi was in airplane heaven!! It is so neat to see him so interested in something at such a young age. Emily was happy to just run around and act like she was an airplane with her friend Hannah.

Levi and His Cars

He is a boy for sure!!

OSU vs Navy




We had some friends over for the big Ohio State vs Navy game. Since all our friends are Navy grads it was a fun game to watch. Check out Em in her Cheerleading outfit Aunt Jen and Uncle Jesse got for her. She was super excited to walk around dancing to the fight song.



Another Day at the Zoo...

Ben had a 4 day holiday weekend from work so we kicked it off with a day at the zoo. Levi is now at the age he is starting to REALLY like animals so it was so much more fun watching him get excited. Our favorite was the keiki zoo (childrens zoo). Watching the kids pet the goats was priceless. We were very lucky since for some reason we seemed to be the only ones at the zoo that day so we could just let the kids go.






Mommy and Levi Play Chase!

Water Slide

This is why I am sooooo tired all the time....she never stops!!!
