THANKS DEREK! What a treat!

My friend Lindsey Jennings came to the island and we got to hang out for a bit! YAY! 

We use to work together at Sunglass Hut in Thousand Oaks, CA. It was soooo much fun She's such a doll! We got to go to the beaches up at Northshore, have Acai Bowls from Kava Roots, Yellow Curry Noodles from Haleiwa Eats Thai Food, Motsomotos Shave Ice, & she got to get a pearl necklace at Dole Plantation like she always wanted!!! Such a blast! Love you Linds!

TO KAILUA!!!! Nate got to keep Jocelyn giggling in the back of the car! It was so cute! We clapped to music & had a fun drive

The race is on! Shanae & Kali & Krew beat us... but that's ok! I'd never been there! We had fun meeting up with Kim & Lili after her doctor appointment and spend the day in the beautiful water, enjoy the soft sand, & soaking in some sun.

My bowl legged lil one... my legs were the same, but I grew out of it eventually. Have no fear. They loved checkin out all that was going on.

Jocelyn kept wanting to hang out with this man... I don't know him and he didn't seem to inerested in having a new lil friend. hahaha

Derek's friend from high school came out to Hawaii with his wife on their 5th Anniversary! So Derek & Jocelyn showed them Waimea Bay. It was nice to reunite.

ENRICHMENT NIGHT! We had a blast playing BUNCO! Some had never played before and the rest of us had only played once. Thanks Nicolle for being our on-call instructor!

THE COMPETITION WAS INTENSE :D

Kim handed out the prizes! JV had the lowest points and Shanae had the highest... but only by a few! ;>

Now we are packing & cleaning up to get ready for our trip/ INTERNSHIP to the Mainland US of A!!!!! Ready or not, here we come!

"ggggeeeee if i could only have my 2 front teeth then i could wish a Merry Chrissss Chrisssss... a Happy NEW YEAR!" 

Here is a fab photo by Shanae Jones of jocelyn's 2 bottom teeth. (10 months old) She's getting the 2 top ones in... hard to photograph them all at once. We will keep working on it! Lili had a princess/superhero tea party saturday. SO FUN! Jocelyn got all frilled up! More photos to come soon.

Welcome to my HAAAAAAAR SALON jk! We went to Target in Kapolei (my small does of the mainland) Its a brand new shopping center! And Target is new to our parts! We found a great deal on hair color! Shanae has been talking about coloring her hair darker/ her natural color and Kim wanted to have all one color too. So we had some fun DYING! What do you think? Sorry I don't have an after of Kim, but Shanae's I got.

Jocelyn & I hangin out in a parking lot... eating and taking a break from driving. We went to Target. AGAIN. :> 

Girls day out

Kaluanui Beach! I found a nice beach that's secluded and I love the sand here. The water is shallow and not too wavey for me to take JoJo out into. So it's been nice trying to soak up some sun and try to LOOK like im living in Hawaii! People seem to forget that Hawaii has a winter too. And this one was cold (for Hawaii) & rainy! Meaning I am living to my fullest SNOW WHITE fair skin! 

I took Jocelyn out and was singing to her and playin and she fell asleep in my arms! It was a precious moment.

I love that she's not afraid of the water anymore. She use to be a bit hesitant.

My girlfriends! They came to play dress up and once they were pooped we read some fairytales. (It's nice to hear the original version... and compare to Disney's take on it) THEN they wanted to watch TOY STORY!  Such good girls! I hope they remember these awesome times they have with each other! 

Girls, young & old, married & single, NEED to have friends to play with! It's healthy for the female soul!

CASSiE LEE's Birthday! Pedicure Party! I hope she had fun... I did! We watched some chick flicks, talked story, and got flowers on our toes! ;> Sorry I'm rusty! I will be quicker next time! 

Burn baby Burn! This is with sunscreen twice in 2.5 hours! I'm tellin ya! Hawaii has stronger sunshine! Good thing Jocelyn had on a higher number! 

SunScreen vs SunBlock

If you want some color get sunscreen. Sunblock BLOCKS it ALL out! I have been putting 50sunscreen on JoJo and 15-30 sunscreen on me. Mind you I wanted to get color! Jocelyn  is darker than me!!!!! So I'm over getting low numbers! As long as its screen you can get color! If you don't know why you're gettin NOTHING no matter the number sunblock will keep you with  PURE Snow White skin. That's my knowledge on the matter. I've figured this out the hard way! Now "I'M MOLTING!" hahaha You live you learn.

Can't believe May is almost over... we will be having some friends visit then to the states we go! California, Nevada, & Utah! ... in June 

See ya around!

Ricky Bobby Tribute

Dearest Ricky Bobby,

Ricky... cheer up! 

All my love,

Until the 12th of Never

This is about 3 years old... but it's amazing what you find out when you get talking to someone! My friend Larissa was talking to me about her & Ryan's love story. She told me how he purposed & I couldn't believe it. I wanted to check it out & it totally made me cry from cuteness! ;> So I thought I'd share it with you ...
