Easter fun!

We traveled across the island to Hilo to spend the Easter afternoon at Mike's brother's house. We ate waaay to much and the kids had so much fun playing. I couldn't believe how much food was there! I thought Rhett would really have fun with the egg hunt, but turns out that he had no interest in it. Once outside he was more interested in dirt, rocks and puddles. Go figure!
Hunting for eggs :) Bekah, Alex and Alush.
Rhett's one and only egg. In fact, I found it for him. He really would rather play!
"Look at all my eggs Aunty!!!!"

Could not keep him still for a picture!
He had to get to the "gow gows". That is his word for dogs. (Except for Coco.. she is Coco)
LOVES pretending to talk on the phone! Do you think Mike and I are on it too much??
I have a picture of him last year sitting in the same chair. He is a little big for it now, but seems to be cozy and relaxed after loads of playing!

This was another goody that I made for our Easter feast.... Brie en croute with caramelized onions. Mmmmmmm.. it was soooo yummy!
Our newest nephew, Isaiah! He is 4 months and getting so big. He has beautiful blue eyes with that dark hair... such a cutie-pie!

This was Rhett's toy of choice. I think we may have a chef in the making?! ha! It was not raining in Hilo... amazing! The kids had a great time outside.

Easter Sunrise Service

Goodmorning! Happy Easter!!! We were blessed with a beautiful morning and we got to watch the sun come up over the mountain at our church's sunrise easter service. It was outside in a field by our church ... a bit windy and chilly, but I guess I really should not complain ;)Afterwards we had a potluck breakfast and Rhett just wanted to run around and play as always. During the week our church is a preschool so there is a great playground area. Every Sunday Rhett can't wait to get out there! Today was nothing different!
When Mike was done dressing Rhett this morning he stood in front of the mirror smiling at himself for about 5 minutes. I guess he likes his little outfit I got him ;) I sure do!! He looks so handsome!!


I lOVE my family!!! Happy Easter to you and yours!!



Mike's New Toy



Mike is thrilled to have a new motorcycle to drive to and from work (and everywhere else!). It is a Kawasaki Versys and gets over 60 miles per gallon! Great since the price of gas has gone up to almost $4 a gallon out here!

Beautiful!




These are some of the flowers in our yard. Most of the time I don't even notice, but today they really caught my eye! Aren't they beautiful?!

Easter Cookies

I decorated some sugar cookies today to take to our Easter get-together at Alex and Alika's house tomorrow! I am so excited about how they turned out :)





Mega Blocks

I got these mega blocks as a hand-me-down from a friend back in January. Just recently Rhett took interest in them . He spent a while the other day putting them all together and taking them apart. He is really getting good at building towers!



Reading again...


Once again... the house got quiet and after a few minutes I went to find Rhett. (I have every

thing childproofed so there is not too much he can get into.) There he was!This chair is his favorite place to climb up and look at his books. I love it!

Glass Bottom Boat

My girlfriend Beth's mother in law is in town and her family has been doing all the fun touristy stuff the past week or so. This morning Rhett and I joined them on a glass bottom boat trip. Rhett really enjoyed it!


Beth and Ikaika
Buddies :)

It was such a beautiful morning!


So handsome... my little man!


Rhett and Ikaika looking at the fish in the fresh water spring fed ponds by the beach
This is the same area that we had our famliy photo shoot for Rhett's birthday
Rhett made a little friend. Isn't that sky just beautiful?!!







Where are you going???



We went to dinner at a new sushi restaurant Sunday night with our new friends, the Marchesi family. Rhett was dressed up so cute, but would not stay still for a picture! The picture of him running away is the typical view I have of him lately. He is always running all over the place and I am behind him trying to keep up ;)

Mmmmmm,,, Ice Cream!!!

My girlfriend came over for dinner the other night with her daughter Ava who is four. After dinner she was eating icecream in the lanai and left her half eaten bowl on the coffee table. Rhett climbed his way on top of the table and this is how I found him.... eating icecream from a big boy bowl with a big boy spoon. (this is a first for him, he usually eats from the tray on his highchair with his hands)


Not sure if you can see it, but the icecream was dripping through the slats on the table and onto the carpet. If he wasn't so darn cute I might have cared!
