SURPRISE!!!!!!!
















i must have voted for pedro, because all of my wildest dreams have come true. i have always wanted to have a surprise birthday party. and on many occasions i was convinced that one was being arranged, just ask ric. i had given up that dream. and then my sweet dear friend vicky deceived me.
on my birthday she came over with a crazy yummy birthday cookie her family made for me. see picture.
a card and gift sealed the deal. we had just celebrated my birthday.
well, a week before she asked me to come to her house to stay with the girls while she went to a meeting thing. was i suspicious? no. why you may ask? because vicky doesn't have one sneaky bone in her body. she is so "honest abe" it isn't even funny. and she has a busy busy schedule. plus her friend who usually stays with the girls was out of town. little did i know i would be ambushed.
so the saturday after my birthday, i jump in the shower, grab some comfy/not cute clothes, and head over to vicky's with a wet head of hair. ric and grace came too, so we could all hang out. ric drove, and i was so busy on the phone, that i didn't notice all of the cars in front of the house!
then i saw more kids in the yard than i should have, and i got a feeling something was going on.
SURPRISE!!!
well, vicky, my kona sister, you got me good.
and you know me.
this isn't over.
not by a long shot.
the party was great. kids running around laughing and playing. the best. and i even had a game created in honor of my birthday. pin the water drop on the cake on fire. you can see the picture of me and the girls with the water drops, pretending they are tears, because i am so old.
thank you vicky and family for making this birthday so special. you guys rock!!! and i love you all. i am so glad God blessed me with such great friends. cccooooouuuuuu!

it's my birthday, it's my birthday
















we had a great couple of days in waikoloa. mom got us a room at the marriot, and we partied like rock stars. we spent more time in the pool than in the room! they have 3 or 4 different pools, 3 different hot tubs (aahhhh), and a water slide. yes, i went down the water slide. i'm not THAT old. we had a great time!

forty presents


here i am covered in my "40 presents" from my fabulous sister. hopefully one of the gifts is double chin cream.

big tub = big bubbles


we almost lost grace in a pile of bubbles. when we turned on the jets........the bubbles got higher and higher and higher. i was so jealous.

play day



gracie had some friends come over for the day and play. here we are in the kitchen making cookies. a great way to bribe them to be good. ahh ha ha.

O Christmas Tree

last saturday we went to the koloko tree farm and picked out our tree for christmas. it was just like a wedding dress. we picked one out, then changed our minds and picked out another, then another, etc. moving our orange tag all over the place. in the end......back to our first pick.


my favorite number......EIGHT!


ric and i celebrated out 8th anniversary. miss regina from church kept grace for us, so we had a hot date!!!
