Makahiki

The Makahiki was some good fun this year. Oke went all out trying to build the winning car with Tanner and David. He researched best kept secrets of the derby car and came up with some great stuff. Both of the boys made it to the finals. Tanner got 5th place and David was in the top 10. Blake enjoyed being a Boy scout and winning numerous sodas from the games with his buddy Anton. Afterward , Oke and the kids went to a 1st year birthday bash and I went and sang for a program at church. Always a busy day on the weekend for us.

Look who came for a visit

These two completely baked cuties stopped over for a week of fun in the sun on the Big Island. Lizzie Sclofman( the blonde) was one of my darling young women from when we lived in AZ. Hard to believe she is almost 22 now. But anywho, she and Alecia were having a "fun semester" at BYUH and they came and explored the Island. They snorkeled, zip lined, hiked the volcano, went to Hapuna and just cruised the Island. I believe they had a fantastic time. WE loved having them and look forward to seeing Lizzie when we get to Phoenix in June.
( Can you say......SUNBLOCK!!!! LOL)

Easter in Maui

Easter took on a whole new meaning for us this year. We did not do an egg hunt, or have a fancy meal, instead we went to Maui for Tevita's baptism. What an amazing experience to see his transformation over the last few months while working with Oke on Maui. Tevita's testimony is probably one of the strongest I have ever heard from a freshly baptized person. In this post is his cousin from Utah, the two sister missionaries, and his wife Kim who flew in form CA. It was an amazing day and I am so glad we were there to take part in it.

NO WATER

Lila, when she was smaller, absolutely hated the sand on her feet! If we put her down she would not move and she would cry for someone to pick her up. NOW she hates going in the water and only wants to play in the sand. Geesh....what's up with this kid!! It must be a GIRL thing. LOL
(That's her hiding under the towel so we don't take her in the water!)

Eduardo

The Kids found a baby Jackson Chameleon and wanted to keep it but we were afraid the bigger jacksons would eat it so we set it free. It was so cute and the kids loved the name they chose. Hopefully Eduardo is enjoying the acre of trees and plants outside.
