Long Weekend.

Every time we have a contest, she seems to be in the opening heat...(8am) the water is COLD HERE that early in the morning.....she doesn't complain, she can't get in fast enough. She didn't advance this time, but she didn't mind. She went straight to her friends to play in the sand!!

This was fun times @ Rell Sunn's contest. Waves were pretty big, but 4-6 yr olds HAVE to have an adult WITH THEM. Girls showing muscles and boy showing....well, being goofy!!! hmmm , thats alittle backwards isn't it?

They did the Boogie Board division which they never have done!

Any activity in the water with Daddy is gooood for her!

BBQ & PARADE

You know whoo....

Uncle Mike REALLY is the happiest!! (front with black glasses) Look at the smile! we were all watching the parade @ my girlfriends resort & they got asked to come on a float during the whoooole parade!!! They had sooo much fun! This guy dropped them off at the community pool when they were done..whole neighborhood had a blast!

Two cocoNUTS!!

My friends townhouse is on this golf course...GORGEOUS??? !!!!! We love it!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING !!!!

Is There ANYthing better than a

homemade turkey from your 4 year old???

Especially with all the glue presently showing as they struggle to glue the eyes on....the eyes never made it..they fell off, so we used a marker instead.

Everyone , enjoy this holiday, and be safe!!!

Aloha!

EDDIE WOULD GO....

There was a Hawaiian man named Eddie Aikau. He was a life guard on the North Shore and became famous for saving lives and riding humongous waves. They built a double hull voyage canoe to sail to the Tahitian Islands only to find out that near the Hawaiian Island Molokai the canoe sprang a leak. Eddie took off in the dark with a surf board to go get help and was NEVER SEEN AGAIN. Every year when the N. shore gets 25 ft or more they hold a " Eddie would Go" BIG WAVE RIDING CONTEST. I saw it when Tiki was 1 and they haven't held it since ( waves never got big enough!) This Saturday might go off. It is TRULY amazing to watch!!! and whoever (survives) wins....gets $ 50,000.00!!! Thank God it's INVITATIONAL ONLY, cuz Alika would go.....:)

Lost in space

DON'T POLLUTE!!

REAL Soulmen

Went to see this movie....first off....I wouldn't recommend this if your easily offended by vulgar language, sex scenes...

A movie to me that has the F-word is kinda senseless. This movie, every OTHER word was F,F, F.!! I wouldn't say the word bothers me as much as WHEN & WHY you have to say it soo much. Some people think it's necessary to make comedy somehow funnier when you over USE the word. NOT TO ME. lack of creative writing if you ask me. I'm not sure if it's because Bernie Mac & Isaac Hayes passed away right after this movie...but there was SOMETHING ABOUT IT. I laughed at Bernie Mac's expressions, Samuel Jackson is always a favorite....and there was a twist of irony in the WHOLE movie....

It didn't get good reviews ( I can understand why in many parts) but Me & Alika liked it....still trying to figure out exactly WHY!!

Awwww.........

Have I told you my neice Tianna is having a baby?!?! YES , SHE IS!! I wanted her to wait and NOT find out the gender, but she couldn't .....BUT maybe I'll keep it a surprise to ya'll. My sista's gonna be a granny. LOL. Ya know when your a "young" grandma, the LAST thing ya want to be called..is....GRANDMA.

My Mom felt the same way...she wanted Personality in her granny name. They lived in Palm Springs, and about that time Zsa Zsa Gabor had been all over the news that she slapped a cop in the face. so she decided ZSA ZSA. My sister has other ideas...

Anyone have hip names that they call their grandmas??!!

Tianna is a beautiful girl and will be a terrific Mom....however, for ALL the times she gave Tiki Candy, doughnuts, and all those other things that keep kids WIRED AND BOUNCING OFF THE WALL.....revenge is sweeeeeeeeeeeeet!!!

That time again............

Other night it was raining, cozy, and Alika had a CPR class. Me & my baby HAD to watch "Polar Express" and we got all excited about Christmas. Here in Hawaii, we don't get snow, it gets cooler...but not much indication that Christmas is near, other than walking through Costco & seeing all the decorations. So we treat ourselves to movies to inspire the fact that it is that time!! At least until "Rudolph the red nosed reindeer" comes on t.v. :)

LET IT GO OPRAH

Did anyone watch Oprah yesterday??!!! Jennifer Aniston was on TRYING to promote her new movie , when she STILL gets bombarded with questions about Brad & Angelina. GET OVER IT!!! It infuriates me that this happened YEARS AGO, and every time she gets in front of a interviewer they have to ask "how you doing?!". I'm sure it had to be a most PAINFUL time of her life and bringing it UP all the time makes it hard to "get on" with her life. Shes soo pretty, charming, she has more to offer than letting us know "hows shes doing?!". My favorite line she said yesterday when Oprah kept BUGGING her about whether she DID make the comment about Angelina....she finally simply said "It's just my opinion". she didn't know it would get scrutinized AGAIN sooo much .

Ok, can you tell I'm peeved by this???!!! on a lighter note.....IT'S FRIDAY!!!

ROCK ME!!!

This post is for my friend Mike ....He is my Best friends husband, and I heard he rocked out the other night on the drums!!! I also heard that all my old friends and co-workers all went to support him and had a great time. Sorry I missed it Mike!!! I would of loved to been there to see your awesome drumming!!!! Now Lynnette has a REAL reason to be a groupie!! ha ha ha

Saved by ........

I Haven't thought about this in sooo long. With Tiki's big '5' coming up and Christmas will be here before you know it..I'm just gonna HAVE TO take advantage of it !!!!

YES!!

I'm really happy for Obama!!! Living in Hawaii with such a wide range of Nationalities....has definetly made me colorblind. I DO remember living & growing up in California and FEELING the prejudice....I never had it. My best friend was a black girl in high school....but my friendship stopped when the bell rang. I did not feel comfortable bringing her to my house!!! ( for fear of what everyone else would think or say, not cuz I didn't want her there) or neighborhood for that matter. But she was such a dear girl, funniest person, and a heart the size of Texas!!! People come in Good AND Bad, color has NOTHING to do with it!!!! It truly starts AT HOME!!! Passing things down from generation to generation & without REALLY knowing a person. History was made.....to think that "the white people" wouldn't even let them EAT in the same building .....Pay back is a B*&#% !!!! Obama is not here to payback, (thank God) he is interesting in bringing us all together...we should learn from that! ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE!! I'm not a person who feels YOU SHOULD BELIEVE IN THIS BECAUSE I DO.... We all have our own hearts, and beliefs.

Halloween by day,...& night

This is her classmate. He name is Kyan and I wanna adopt him...he is soooo cute!! He has a raspy voice & always says..." I love P.E." ( I'm his p.e. teacher) and when I ask him "why, whats your favorite activity we do..?" He gets quite and re-thinks what & how to say what he means.....Then he always says "I LOVE YOU!!!" awww my heart!!
Tiki was a kitty cat at school.


With her friend Cameron. It was very hot for her during the parade. Poor kitty, kitty :) !!

BY NIGHT......HAD TO BE "DOROTHY"!!!!

Our friends just got this dog...how appropriate!!!
