June

*1st (Friday)-Daddy's collection of body boards!
*7th (Thursday)-Received word that we can finally move into a 2 bedroom apartment, W230. This was Perfect timing for all of the friends and family that will be visiting us throughout the remainder of the summer.
*8th (Friday)- Enjoyed a visit from Jason's friend Jermaine from Auzie.  He came over for a friends wedding and then hung out with us and in Waikiki.  We ate at the Cheesecake Factory.
*13th (Friday)-14th (Saturday)- we had the girls over for the night. Although I didn't get much sleep between Nanea and Milia crying it was worth having them over. It was just a bit much for me once the afternoon came with my nausea kicking in so they went home to tutu's. While they were here we watched movies, ate a bunch, played on the playground and with chalk, and had otter pops and cookies. Nanea enjoyed then a little too much.


*16th (Saturday)-My sister and I went to visit my father for the first time in 2 1/2 years. While she wasn't allowed, having her there with me was very helpful. It was an early Father's Day gift for him.
*17th (Sunday)-Father's Day here in Hawaii.  I was pretty terrible this year with Jase and didn't really get him anything. We spent the day with the Peaua's at Tutu's house.  However, Jason and Moa had a boy's night out on Monday to the movies where they finally got to see Avengers.  I'm glad that they did because they both love watching movies, but my sister and I are so "chang" that we don't like going especially since we've got kids.
*30th (Saturday)-TVA hosted a Wet and Wild activity. Nanea wasn't too into it which was quite surprising.  I think it's because the water was really cold or maybe because it was her nap time.  Either way, Aunty Ashlee DeCaires was able to capture her happiness while eating watermelon. That night, Jase went with Kimo, Jimbob, Jessy, and Maihi Brown (who's visiting for a couple weeks from NZ with his sister) to the House of Shem Concert at the Waterfront of Aloha Tower.  They had VIP passes from Jimbob's friends.  Meanwhile, the mommies and children stayed home and ate enchiladas and watched a movie.


Bishop Museum

Elmo was on exhibition at the Bishop Museum.  We got free passes to go for the day so we enjoyed it with Ash, Hanalei, Milia and Mele. It was pretty crazy being there with other play groups and schools, but they all enjoyed it.  They especially liked playing with the bakery, grocery shop and the volcano exhibition.  We were so pooped after just 2 hours of being there. It was worth the visit and we hope to continue to do more activities and field trips.

Farm Time in Waimanalo

We spent some time with Aunty Gwen and the girls at a farm in Waimanalo.  We fed chickens, fed pigs, sang and danced to "Uncle Makana's Kalo Farm", had fresh Lilikoi, pumpkin cake, and garlic chicken bento's.

Camping with Peaua's

*June 11th (Monday)-Moa arrived early
*June 13th (Wednesday)-Uila and the rest of the clan arrived.
*June 14th (Thursday)-We set up camp at Malaekahana with our "Little Grass Shack" and Nanea finally got to play with her cousins at the beach. She loves having other girls around to play in the water and with the sand. She especially likes baby Mani! They had so much fun that they crashed hard. We enjoyed BBQ and smores. Jason had to work, but was able to escape for an hour to enjoy dinner with us. We slept at home so we could spend time with him too.

The best baby entertainers EVER!
Wishing they could move home to Hawaii soon!
