Premonitions

Alika says to me today...."We should book a trip to Vegas"

"Beeeeecause?....."

"For two days in a row I've dreamt that I won $100 MILLION."

"exactly?"

"Yeah, I keep seeing me being interviewed and I'm holding a big CHECK that says $100 MILLION"

Never tell your wife you have this FEELING that your going win MILLIONs and then flip the remote as though he just spoke of the weather.

I get online, and he's behind me engrossed in CSI. i guess he glanced.

Laughing at me "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!"

" I'm looking at package deals for Vegas, whaddya THINK I'm doin?"

"We have NO MONEY!"

hmmm, gosh I've never felt soooo close to Millions than I did then. Gosh, it felt good.

My Anela Calls......

Tiki has a few middle names. One of which is Anela. (Ah-nell-ah) Means "Angel" in Hawaiian.

I was having a troubling night ( nothing in particular, maybe just hormones?!). It was one of those nights I was missing my Mom & Dad. I was in my own room, having my own "tears",when my Anela walked in. She noticed before I could hide.

"MOM? WHAT'S WRONG?!" with as much concern as an adult would say.

"I just miss my Mom & Dad alot right now, I'm ok. she gives me a kiss on the head and says "I'll be right BACK!" she scurries off to what I'm assuming will be some tissue.

In walks Tiki holding Alika's hand. she boasts "Daddy is here to help you , and give you a hug".

Now I'm embarrased, crying even mooooore ( that she was soo helpful). While Alika is hugging me she is next to us and looks up for a conversation.....WITH GOD.

"Hi God! um....my mom misses her Mommy & Daddy, so can you send them down here real quick?? (as thought she got the answer) THANKS GOD!" "Mom, they're on their way".

Quickly went from tears of sad to tears of JOY!!!

Field trip to the Zoo....wooo whooooo!!!

Got to take the day off & escort Tiki & her classmates to the Zoo. Now, I KNOW how exciting this post must be for alot of you ( Zzzzzz) but I really have been so busy, this is as exciting as it gets.
They have this really cool aquairium and she peeked through.

Always wanting to play dress-up. this time ....she's a zoo keeper!

I caught her playin with the cows um....ah....UTTERS! YEP! ONLY MY KID, down there checkin things out!!!

what a good brother!!!

We got to spend some time with Makana!! He's grown soo much, and his voice is changing . we don't see him as much as we like too, but he had been to Knott's Berry Farm with his mom & Tiki's other brother Sam ( who doesn't come over). Makana bought & brought Tiki Fiona's (shrek) ears. she couldn't be more happy. Went to see a movie and she wore that with pink cinderella slippers!!! Tiki loves to walk around holding Makana's hand ( EVERYWHERE) and the cutest thing is.....He always obliges! He never tries to push her away!

Partners !

It won't be too long before they will start doing Tandem in the water!! She watches it ALL the time and just loves it.

Practice, Practice!

TO MY FELLOW BLOGGERS !!!!!

THIS IS TOO CLOSE!!

Next two weekends are going to be spent @ surf contests. the waves RIGHT NOW are THIS BIG...they always get big, but drop....PRAY FOR A DROP ..... BUT NOT LIKE HIS DROP!!

Can we see a Dentist ???

Saw these at Walmart and I bought them. She had never tried them. here is the finishing touch!! she laughed so hard, spit was coming out the side of her mouth.

When Daddy got home, we all put them on...what a whacked family huh??!! cheap entertainment!

Feels like old times....

This is my friend Aida ( in black top) from Cali. we used to work together ions ago for many, many years. We went through our 20's together and did some CRAZY things together. Today her & her husband Jeff & in laws came to our "beach house" ( tent on the beach, ha ha ) and hung with us all day. Felt like old times being around her. Alika taught her husband to surf and he got up & riding thee first time ( yes, my husband is a gooood teacher..kids to old..he's the best!)

We had a lot of reminising and some new memories. Aloha Aida & Jeff...had fun today!!!

Pooooorrr Baby Girl.....

tonight I run off after work, to run some errands. Alika decides he & Tiki will stop off at a surf shop to talk to the owner. I NEVER forget my phone....today was NOT THE DAY!! I rush around pull in the driveway ( THINKING THEY ARE WAITING SO LONG FOR ME..) His truck isn't home. I "always" GO THERE. I call his phone, He's at the Emergency with Tiki...a dog bit her. on top of the head. ( she was laying down with the owners dog.. who is very gentle ) and she poked him one to many times....She's fine, but it was a bit scary. no stitches but they looked and cleaned it good!! Now maybe she won't run to every dog like mommy tells her too....ya think??!!! hmmm...i'd bet no. :)
