Janu-isms

Mr. Kainoa is the guy with all of the isms this month!

He has a little anger streak and is known to say, "You're a BAD word!!"

I've told him I don't like the word 'hate' and I will wash his mouth out if he says it too much.  After a little run in with some buddies he came to tell me, "He hit me in the webs so I HAD to say HATE."

He calls me 'Heidi'

Asks, "Where are my boys?" (his bros)

Tells certain people, "You're my best friend" and calls out, "Hey Brah!"

The "Real Deal"

Plenty of times, one will catch Tyce or Kai watching Grammie read books on the computer while I'm off doing chores or showering. They love it so much and always always always talk to the screen as if she's right on the other side. Well, nothing is better--except getting to see her in person! Grammie came out to visit on her way to Florida to see Ggma. We are quite fortunate to live on the way to everything :)

The Dole plantation was a request by Tyce where we hit up a train ride and some Dole whip. She even got the boys a big ol' pineapple gumball. Then back to the house for some book time!

Weekday Warriors: Makapuu Lighthouse

A day off school calls for some island exploring! We caravaned with some friends over to the east side for a hike. Makapuu Lighthouse was our trek today. Gorgeous views, whale sightings, legs burning, accomplishments happened. We followed up with a dip in the water and some slurpees. Success!

Great start

I can't think of a better way to start the year than to have Uncle Chad and Aunt Marcy stop in for a visit!  They spent Christmas in New Zealand, so lucky us--we are right in between New Zealand and the mainland.  We showed them around Waialua and got some good quality time in with two people we adore.
