America 2.

(Bill (the Captain) our Maui Dad, and Chris!!)

(A fisherman caught a Marlin!!)

So peaceful and such a beautiful day to Sail. It was such a smooth ride - very calm. LOVE America 2. And loved that we got to go while Bill was Captain. That was really cool. Both a little toasted, but it was so worth it

For Little Louisa...

My cousin Jake and Talia and their firstborn Maggie were joined by 

Louisa this past month, here is a little big something for her little perfect head. 

Pictures of it in use is to come :) 

Fill in the Blank Fridays!!

I'm playing along with Lauren on her fun questions!! Happy Friday!!! 

1.  My favorite thing about this week has been ...Well, yesterday I got to be with my husband all day. That pretty much made it for me :)

2.  The weather this week has been ...Blue skies and HOTTTT...I would kill for Washington's 70 degrees in the evening! Haha, sweating, and I hate sweating but it sure is beautiful in this paradise of a place! 

3.  The last (interesting) item I received in the mail was...OH!!! I know this one!! It was a ceramic pineapple wind chime my mother made a while back and thought it wasn't perfect. She sent it to her Maui baby and I think she's totally off, it's pristine! 

4.  The last movie I saw was .... Eclipse! Um really loved it - I'm kinda hooked, reading the books first has totally gotten me into it. 

5.  If I could be doing anything I felt like today I would ...paint pottery by the ocean and sip tea from fine china, next to my mother - sitting in adirondack chairs...at the oregon coast, listening to Chopin and seagulls. 

6.  As a teenager I was...A butt head. I like now better :)

7.  I wish I could trade lives for the day with...Anyone who lives in Ireland with a hot air balloon.

Wednesday.

Wednesday was Chris' and my only real day off together this week. We awoke pretty early, earlier than usual and decided to head to the beach! Nalgine, book, hat, sunscreen, towels, chairs and Chris' phone prepared us for this venture. Ahh, such a great time of relaxation. 2+Hours of beach and each-other. Nowhere to be, nothing to do but just be. Later that evening Chris took me to Eclipse! YAY! I have been dying for this since it came out! LOVE the twilight series. Mostly cause I read the books first - and my friend Ileta was able to come with us! THat was so fun. Then we parted ways and he held my hand. He watched the sunset with me. He kissed me. People I am soo madly in love with the man i married. So inconceivably & impossibly in Love.

Wish I were here Wednesday!

I'm playing along with my Friend Olivia, because I totally wish I were here in Fairhaven this Wednesday -  grabbing a coffee at The Rustic Coffee Bar, shopping in the vintage clothing store Nostalgia, then to venture just near by to Zuanich Park, my favorite place in the world. Oh Bliss.

Doesn't look exciting but It's MAGICAL! 

Happy Fourth of July!

Don't think this day could have been any more fun! At the Booklands, Chris surprised them with his boat to later explode! Bill and Kai build boats (i don't know if it's every year but they did last year too..and for New Years.) with fireworks to blow up in the dark! Soo...Blanca and Stacy came out to look at it and when we went in the house Stacy say's "Lets build a house!" We thought she was joking and here she comes with cardboard, markers, paper etc. So, we built a house! One by one, we snuck outside and stole fireworks from the boys trying to keep them from catching on. We had a garage with tanks, a chimney with flowers, a garden with flowers, windows with fountains, a flag and lots more. We colored and decorated this house and brought it out to show the boys! Kai was tickled pink. So cute. One time Stacy went out to get some fireworks and Kai said in the sweetest voice "I know what you guys are doing!!" Us girls then made home-made mozzarella sticks and brought out some pupus (appetizers). We went outside and gathered around for Kai and Kai J to preform a magic show! Soo cute. Bill fired up the grill and we ate a wonderful BBQ meal! Then Chris was chatting with Jake and another guy - i forgot his name.. and I went to scrimmage with Kai! Soccer baby! It felt soo good to play, I MISS it. Kai J came out with a light saber and I knew we were done, ha! Hung out and talked until dark and then gathered round for the fireworks. There were SOO many. We watched the guys show and then Lahainas show, then more of the Guys works and late late was when we fired off the house and then the boats. Oh Chris was soo cute. This holiday is His and it totally brings out the child in him. He was soo happy and having soo much fun. He was adorable with the Kai's, helping them out. I can't wait till we have a boy someday that he can be that tender with. So HIP HIP HOORY for our independence and freedom! Happy forth of July! I hope yours was as wonderful and blessed as ours. 

Mom, your son looks like Orlando Bloom, See his pony?

Maui Rodeo and Bull Bash!

Friday, Chris and I met up with the Booklands to head Upcountry for the Rodeo!!! I was soo trilled and excited for this event, especially since hubby got the day off! So I put on my plaid dress over my leggings, grabbed my winter sweatshirt and headed out the door. Once we got there Stacy, Kai, Michael and I  grabbed a seat and started chatting and checking things out, Chris and Bill hit up the Beer Garden and Chris grabbed me some cotton candy (He's so great! :) )!! This Rodeo was soo completely different than Lyndens! Hah, it was hysterical, It was first of all POURING RAIN, like the whole time :) I kinda loved that part...everything was just so unorganized and there were long gaps between each rider - made us laugh. The MC was so funny and random, and no one was cheering back to him or what not - poor guy..hah. There were some REALLY great rides though, very fun and yet nerve racking to watch. Despite the Maui weirdness, we LOVED it and had a BLAST. We all had Hot Cocoa and were sitting as close as possible to keep warm. Lots of laughter, just a night to remember.

Rodeo 2010!!
