Kona Regatta

WHOOHOO!! That's my boat just after we finished our race(I am second in)... that was a tough race, but we are really starting to be able to work as a team and get a real feel for the canoe.
Switching out for the next race

Whew... that water is beautiful and so refreshing after a race!

Our last regatta in Kona was this past Saturday. Mom and dad were able to be there again to cheer me on (and watch Rhett!!!) Afterwards we went to the Hard Rock cafe for lunch and watched the rest of the regatta while we ate. Next week I have one more regatta in Hilo and then we are on to looooong distance season..... hmmmm... still thinking about that one ;)

Fun Time with GrammyLia

While we were out diving, Everette has been having LOTS of fun time with Grammy :) I love this picture because they both have the same happy look on their faces!

More SCUBA :)

Ono!!!!!!

Mike, Dad, Matt and I took our boat out last Tuesday for some fishing and some diving. We did 2 great dives and then on the way back in to the harbour Mike caught 2 Ono (Wahoo) at the same time!!!!
Bring 'em in baby!!!


We took some home to grill, but left the rest at the restaurant :)
YUMMY!!!! We ate until we were ready to pass out! The fish was incredible and we had an amazing dinner :) Thanks honey... way to go!!

Happy 35th Anniversary Mom and Dad!!!!!



June 30th was my mom and dad's 35th wedding anniversary! That day mom and I went to a craft workshop at my girlfriend's house. she made a great brunch for us and we made a fun project. That evening mom and dad went out to dinner at Tommy Bahama's to celebrate :)

Sunday... we are so blessed!!

We are so blessed to have both sets of grandparents here with us right now.... and Rhett is LOVING it! Sunday we all went to church together and then headed over to the Kost's home for a wonderful German meal followed by swimming in the pool. It was a beautiful day with family!!!
