Kowen's Birthday

Kowen's 2nd Birthday

We had fun with box races, spoon and egg choo-choo races, trains, games, and hotdogs and cake of course.

cutie pies

pic time

Kilee got her hair done by Aunt Jill for a girls trip to the store. The kids did well with the other cousins as they got their pic made.

Ice Cream cones

Ice cream tastes better at Aiti's because she put it in cones. Spoiled.

Kowen is saying Thank YOu in sign language. Now that he is approaching 2 he is finally talking. He still has passy thought. He likes to say NO and Yeah to answer questions, so cute. He still screams DA DA all the time. He enjoys telling everyone to Go, whether it is time to go, or go faster dad, or bye mom i have to go. He is so good on his razor scooter it scares me. After improving his skills as he rode around Grandpa and Aiti's house indoors, he continues to go too fast down hills for moms sake. What a big boy, my bad he won't let u call him that. If you say he's a big boy, he'll say no, Big Baby.

Grandpa and Aiti's House

WE enjoyed climbing trees, going to New Orleans Zoo, riding in a horse drawn carriage, eating out a lot, popsicles every night with grandpa, and shopping trips with Aiti because the kids would always get a prize for going with her. Kowen faught for Aiti's attention when Addy stayed a week or so. WE had a going away water balloon fight where grandpa and Aunt Jill filled up more than a hundred balloons to throw that lasted less than 5 min., but they had fun.

Waterpark

We enjoyed going to the waterpark alot while visiting in Alabama. WE went with Aiti, Aunt Jill and Addy, and cousins Taylor, Payton, and Hayden several times. What a relief to the humidity. Hawaii has humidity, but less, the heat stays in the 70 - high 80's.

Airplane to the mainland

The flight over to Jackson, MS was long, but bearable as the kids were allowed to walk up and down the plane and play with other kids. Kowen's favorite part was the bathroom that he could open and close and hide in, when empty. He found it occupied by a little girl one time. They also got to climb up to the pilots and look out the window as there were only two small windows downstairs. Mom got to see the Golden Gate Bridge as she just happened to get lucky and search and find her kids up there at the same time. The trip back to Hawaii wasn't so lovely. We rode backwards on a C-5. It was hot and crowded like a normal plane. It will be a while before we go again, we'll stay landlocked for a while.

Kandon's birthday

Sorry so late, these are Kandon's birthday party pictures from June. We had a transformer cake and a slip n slide race. Lots of fun. Lots of muddy ground afterward.

Soccer Pics

Easy to spot. Only blonde on the field.

His hair always sticking up.

Kowen alone and Kandon's Soccer

Since Kandon is in school now, Kowen spends a lot of time on the coffee table watching tv. He also likes watching Kandon's soccer games. Kandon scored the first goal of the season in less than a minute or so. He went several games before he scored again last Sat. He is getting better as he learns not to run and be the caboose as he watches others play on the field but not attacking the ball. Mom is the one screaming at him to run, while dad sits and watches. He has to remind me it is only a game. Loads of fun though.

Family Fun Fair

These are from the church Family Fun Fair. We took our neighbors Savannah, Mackenzie, and their mom Holly. It was a lot of fun and sugar. Cotton Candy, red snow cones, popcorn, hotdogs, and ward potluck. They rode rides galor.
