Kauai

I finally have my camera back! Now I can post a bunch of stuff! Kauai was sadly too short of a trip but SO much fun! Of course, the guys were there to work but they soon found that there was only about a half-day's work on the whole island, if that. The hotel (the Hilton) was amazing and I could have stayed there for the two days if the guys had had a ton of work, but they didn't so I went with them wherever they went. So here are a few highlights:
A little cove as seen from the road.
Me, while the guys were golfing (another post).
John and I. He has GOT to get new glasses (his new ones were lost in the ocean while boogie boarding).
Some farmlands...also as seen from the road.
The guys: John, Josh, and Steve. In a huge cave where the water looked completely disgusting and had signs of warning not to touch the water because of some disease. Nice huh? The cave was still impressive.
The Blowhole. During high tide, the waves hit and shoot out this hole. It was cool, but way too much hype about it.
Train cars at a plantation near the hotel. We didn't stop though.
You can't see it very well but I just thought this...uh...whatever looked neat.
One of the many beautiful views from the golf course.
See the waterfall at the top of the mountain? What you can't see as well are the little waterfalls in each of the little valleys coming down the mountain.
We stopped in this little town on the North shore and had lunch. This town was so cute and beautiful! The shops were so touristy but way fun looking. All in all, the trip was great and I can't wait to go back! My favorite island so far!

I love Kauai Too. LaDell and I ended up going there for a week quite by accident. I called to get a condo in Hawaii and when the lady called be to tell me they had a condo in Hawaii (Oahu, I thought) She said We have you a condo in Kauai and I thought I heard Hawaii and I booked it. We flew to Oahu only to find out that we needed to get another flight to Kauai if we wanted a place to stay. That was one of the best mistakes I have ever made. It was beautiful and it doesn't seem to have changed too much (looking at your pics). Anyway keep having fun while you are there. We love your pictures and adventures. A Sid

Lucky! We wanted to go to all the islands while we were there but didn't ever get a chance:( the last picture is great! I just clicked on it and you can see all of the water falls. Sooooo pretty.

Reverting Back

In 2006, we moved to Hawaii.  I started this blog that year.  I blogged as an outlet and a way to keep in touch with my family across an ocean.  It was far simpler than sending out individual or group emails loaded with as many pictures as emails would allow back then.  I might even still have copies of those emails, tucked away in some folder somewhere.  Blogging became a way for me to make friends, or feel like I had made friends.  I followed other blogs and, occasionally commented...but I’d say odd things.  Not on purpose. The comments make perfect sense to me, because they are coming out of my head and there is a thought pattern or connection.  People that know me would be able to make the connection.  Other bloggers...other people, they don’t know me.  They didn’t know me.  I was just the weirdo making odd comments on a random post.  I lived for comments on mine.  Usually it was my mom, she never missed a post and oft...

Summer Fade

 Summer is drawing to an end. We have traveled to AZ and UT. Played far too many video games and watched entirely too much TV. Workbooks were provided by myself with incentive to anyone who finished would get a large prize...no takers. No mom school this year...that may be a thing of the past with all these kids growing up.  John announced his retirement for next year and we are on the hunt for a place to finally settle into for next year. Nearer to family sounds great. New England has a lot to offer too. Our money will stretch a lot farther in a LCOL area like Iowa or Ohio. We do love being near the ocean or water and did love Alaska. This is going to be harder than I thought. The kids are going back to school and, since we live in SoCal now, we will continue to experience summer. I'm still not sure what MissFab is doing this year. Star started her Sophomore year of high school and she is nearly a week in. She has changed her schedule and is already ready to be done with scho...

Nearly 5 weeks...

I've been told I need to update the blog so here are several pictures of little Star. She is now just over 11 lbs. and just shy of 23" long. She is just a bit big. Miss Fabulous was nearly 4 months old before she got as big as our Star! She is fun and really cuddly. She really loves to eat (thus the big size!) and sleep but seems to be wanting to be on the move. John has dubbed her "Scooter" because she is never where we put her. She rolled over from her back to her tummy the other day! Still not great at night...sometime she just wants to be awake, but last night she slept 7 hours straight and I'm hoping its the beginning of a trend! Miss Fabulous just LOVES her little sister and is always trying to help. MF is doing a little better in school with a lot of help from her teacher and some from us at home. We are starting her in a program at school where they help children deal with transition, which seems to be the biggest part of her problem. The progr...
