So long!

Off to Panama for 2 weeks!!!  Sorry but i'll be MIA for a bit....  I'm sure you'll be able to go on living without me here...  Enjoy the next 2 weeks!  I know I will!!!

Things that are cool...

~ I got to watch a mama Jackson Chameleon give birth today... so cool! She's now the mama of 9 (i think).

~ I am flying out to California tonight.

~ I am all packed and ready to go.

~ I didn't even over pack (something I usually do).

~ I will get a stamp in my passport at the end of this week! My first one! I'll be crossing that one off my 101 in 1001 list (you haven't heard much about that in a long time! I'll have to go over that again because I've completed quite a few and haven't updated it yet)!

~ I get to surf all day every day for 2 weeks with my hubby, my brother, and friends! Super stoked!

~ I'm shooting my first wedding in a month! I did their engagement photos and they turned out awesome, I made a Guest Sign In album for them and expect it in the mail today!

~ My New Camera bag! I know I just got one "for christmas" but thats more for transporting gear. Its a backpack and I don't think it would look too professional to wear this backpack while i'm shooting a wedding! This one is perfect and easy to wear while shooting and OH SO CUTE!!!

~ I've been sleeping really good lately... love it!

Life is good... no, GREAT!


I know I know, boring post without a picture!



Oh wait... here's a fun underwater shot! Since I'll pretty much be a fish for 2 weeks!

This one's for you Dad!

Dad you are the BEST! You are everything and more that a Dad should be! You love and support your kids, and we know it! You have always been there for me guiding me in the right direction and letting me make my own decisions. I wouldn't be where I am today without you and all you do! And even though we are an ocean apart you are still taking care of me! You are an inspiration to all.

I love that when us kids get together... we can talk about who is your favorite. I know I am... but Gavan, Mahina and Kawika are all convinced it is themselves. How do you do it?! When you hear this discussion, you just sit back relax and don't say a word, you're all smiles! But just between you and me... I know I'm you're favorite! *WINK WINK*

Here's a rainbow for you! I know it's late but maybe you can use it next year!

I LOVE You Lots Dad!!!

Happy Father's day!

Graduation!

Stuart's Graduating! Lets Party!!!

Stuart will be walking on Saturday in his graduation ceremony! We decided to make a graduation announcement and party invite all in one... we sort of got a last minute start on it and most people won't be getting there's until later... So if you are lucky enough to be on island and want to come party with us, we're having a BBQ at Kakela Beach Park this Saturday the 6th around 12:00. If you can come let us know!

Life is good!

Yes we are still alive! I don't know if anyone is still out there but for those of you still here... thank you for not giving up on me and this little 'ol blog.

You would think that with Stuart being out of school, things would be less busy and I'd have more time to blog. Not so... we are just as busy as we were when he was in school but now we're busy with fun! It's been a great couple of months and we're looking forward to many more coming up!

*Stuart has been working (about the same amount as he was when he was in school) at the restaurant Ola and is really enjoying himself there. He's moved up to be a "Grand Peacock" as they call themselves which is a night time server, a few times a week. Stuart loves it because he basically has all day to surf and play and then he goes in to work... not a bad schedule.

*I have been subbing at the high school but the end of the school year is next week. I've really enjoyed myself.

*Stuart is always off on Wednesdays and Sundays. So I put myself unavailable to sub on wednesdays so we can have our "Date Days" then. The past couple months we've had a bunch of "Surf Dates". Sometimes people crash our dates and it gets a little crowded but we've also been lucky enough to have some really great surf just the 2 of us! A great date for sure, plus you can't beat the price!

*Stuart and I both have callings in our new ward. First Stuart was called as the scout leader for the 11 year olds! Sounds like fun especially since this is our first time in a family ward (not just a married student ward). A few weeks later I was called as the Den Leader for the wolf cub scouts! Talk about a calling I never even thought about! I already went on a little hike with the boys! It was fun and I think I'll have a great time in this calling!

*We have some fun things set on the horizon that we are sooooo looking forward to!

~First Mom (stuart's) is coming out for a whole week! Stuart has his graduation ceremony next saturday so she's coming out for that! And we're gonna have some fun!!!

~We also are all set for our trip to panama in July! This will be my first time out of the country so I get to use my sad little passport that I got a while back thinking i'd be using it last year! We have a few friends going and Kawika will be there with his friends too! Can't wait!

~A little less than a week after getting home from Panama, i'll be flying out to Utah to shoot my first wedding! My friend Jana is getting married and asked me to be her photographer! I can't wait for this! It'll be so fun to see her get Sealed and then be able to capture some magical moments between her and her husband to be! Plus I've been wanting to get into wedding photography and this will be perfect! Great family and great couple and people I already know!

We've got a summer jam packed with fun ahead of us! And i hope to keep you updated on all of it!



And because every post is better with a picture.... here's my man the graduate! This is from a shoot we did for his graduation announcements which you'll see soon!



Man what a hottie!
