Hawaii Plantation Village

The kids had a field trip to the Hawaii Plantation Village in Waipahu.

November pics

This is what happens when your kids get a hold of your camera...

Riding the train in the Veteran's Day parade.  A good excuse to pass out all our old Halloween candy!

Neighborhood kids- so glad our kids have so many friends on our street

I love having kids that can read.  Seeing Anjuli read to her brothers just warms my heart

This is what happens as soon as the kids hear Ziggy awake

Zeya is so proud of himself for skateboarding!

Family Zoo trip.  We always wear our shirts to help keep track of everyone :)

Classy Compositions

Another great recital!  This one "Classy Compositions" was all Classical music.  I had a "Miss Baroque" "Miss Classical" and "Miss Romantic" introduce each of the genres of music with some info about each one.  This was also Zion's first recital!  He played "Hungarian Dance" by Brahms.  Anjuli played a waltz by Chopin.  Having my own kids in the recital just makes it that much more special :)

Anjuli's Purple Butterflies

 Second season for Anjuli.  Again she loved it, and skill is improving!  She scored her first goal!!!

Fishing at Ho'omaluhia

 Free Saturday Fishing--and everyone caught a fish!  Fun day :)

Day at the beach

Enjoying secret beach at ko'olina with my 5 kids, all by myself! I was feeling cooped up and needed to get out. It is so nice to see the kids playing happily. It's worth the effort to get here!

Zion's Soccer Seasons

 Zion Loves soccer.  It is so fun to watch.  He has such a competitive spirit!  His first season was with 75 or so kids all on the same team, called the Jedi's.  Each Saturday they would break down into small groups and run drills and a scrimmage. 

 After practice was pau they do their team cheer and everyone runs towards...the snacks!!

 Second season, now he is old enough to play on a real team.  This team was the Tigers.  He scored his first goal!!
