Happy 29th Birthday Kekai

Had an awesome day with my family celebrating my 29th birthday.

*5am-Woke up to my alarm, Hali'a, ate cereal and went on a morning run with her! Then had another feed of toast, cream cheese, jam, eggs and spam, something I was craving and didn't end up spewing!

Noon-stopped to grab some food then headed to ala Moana beach! Jase jumped in For a surf and I hung out/played with my babies in the water. Hali'a was so excited that she could just sit int he water like a bathtub and got very brave.  Of course my Nanea loved the water too! Uncle Mahi came to say hi and then the girls played with Jason's board as we tried to take some actin shots but failed. 

4pm-went to tutu's house to have dinner. I wanted cheeseburgers since that's been the most consistent thing I can eat. So, we BBQed and had some other good food ( steak, poke, etc.). For dessert, had strawberry shortcake, cool whip, and ice cream). The girls had a blast singing happy birthday to me and blew my candles out (which Nanea named after people, in our family) and blew my candles out before I could even try! 

Had lots of happy birthday wishes throughout the day. Received a massage gift voucher at turtle bay from my inlaws which is totally what I need, mango salsa and chips from my VT Sister Tueller, money and card from mom and Pi'i. Very blessed to have good people in my life.
