Pony Tail

When I picked Savannah up from DayCare the other day, her teachers put her hair in a ponytail! It's was her first ponytail! She only has enough hair in the back of her head. So, it is a mullett-tail!

Savannah was just enjoying some yogurt. She's getting better eating with utensils, but loves to stick her hand in the container too!

I was changing Savannah's sheets so I had all her blankets and animals on the floor. She took them and put them in a pile then layed on them. It was so funny!

Last Day together

Last day together.
We picked up some Ninja Sushi and headed to the beach for a picnic.

Savannah loves chasing birds! She points and says something that we think sounds like "birdie."

Dave and Savannah before she goes to bed for the night. They are playing "where's my belly?"

Waikiki Night Out

Last night out in Waikiki. Mike, Lindsay, and Dave were all leaving the next day. What Hawaiian vacation isn't complete without a night out on the town?

At the Mai Tai Bar. Notice the boys with the fruity drinks and the girls with beer. Hmmmm....

Mike after one too many Mai Tai's!

The Boys.

Savannah watching Mike deflate the air mattress. She thought it was hilarious!

Mike and Lindsay's Visit

Mike & Lindsay's Visit

My brother Mike and his girlfriend Lindsay came to visit us the first week of May. They were both "first-timers" to the island, so Dave and I really enjoyed showing them around. We hiked them up Koko Head. Dave got the best workout with Savannah on his back. She's about 25 pounds now! We called it practice for his deployment!

The Godfather himself!

View from the Pillbox hike in Lanikai. We took Mike and Lindsay on this hike the day after they arrived. It was a beautiful day, a peek into the summer to come!

Savannah loves the sand!

So does Sable!! She looks like a sugar cookie!

Hawaiian beauties pause for a photo.

Big Sis & Little Brother

Fun times in Hawaii! The last 3 weeks have been super busy! Dave was home for 3 weeks before he deployed again. We had lots of company and good times while he was home.

Savannah was peeking her head up on the stairs at us!

We enjoyed a few days staying at a beach cottage on Base. Dave is showing Savannah how to skip rocks.

Dave was in heaven when the helicopters were practicing externals. He took some great shots with the sunset in the background.

Hiking the Ioa Needle.

We drove up the West Coast of the island to Honolua Bay. Next time we'll walk down and snorkel it!

Hula Baby!

The view from our hotel room. We sat out here looking for humpback Whales.

What a great way to start the day!

Black Rock in the daytime. We enjoyed snorkeling here. We saw some beautiful coral heads along with turtles. Dave and I even jump off the rock!

At the Sheraton in Maui with Black Rock behind us. We enjoyed some beautiful sunsets watching the cliff divers jump off the rock.

Family picture at the Sheraton in Maui. We caught beautiful sunsets each night complete with a cliff diver who jumps off Black Rock at sunset.

We stopped in Kahuku at the Shrimp Farms to have a snack.

Laie Point on the way to North Shore. I love this rock formation!
