We celebrated grace's 4th birthday with a nice family dinner at Macaroni Grill. Little did we know that an opera singer would be singing "happy birthday" to her. you should have seen her face. it was like she was in the presence of a princess!!
grace and abby are about 15 minutes apart. abby was first, in kona, and then grace later in honolulu. they may not always live close together, but they will forever be birthday twins. 
ric and grace go to lowe's every other saturday for their grow and learn program, and each week make a project. grace just loves loves loves it. i think partly because of the "outfit" she gets to wear. she has her own apron and goggles.
with vanessa's visit, i felt like i was on vacation too! we rode horses, snorkeled, camped, and had some great beach days. we had more fun than i ever even thought we could! she is the best cousin in the world. 
this is one of our favorite beaches, up the coast from kona. grace and her BFF played for about four hours that day. and i don't know why everything is underlined. 
I am always curious what ric and grace do while i am at work. well.......i found these on my camera. good times.

Lovin' Grandma Blackard
Gracie is a girly girl. That is why she loves her Grandma Blackard SO MUCH. Today i walked into the living room to find her on her "computer" with a picture of grayson flipped over to draw on, and the glamor shot of grandma. Oh Boy. For her birthday, she got this little set of nails, with stickers, so we tried them on. they looked so funny. grandma would have been proud. they lasted all of 5 minutes. good times.
Beach Birthday
Here are pictures from the last minute, "i really am a good mom" guilt ridden birthday party. Lucky we live Hawaii. The beach is the perfect location for the unprepared. kids ALWAYS have fun at the beach. and the sunset was beautiful! Thank you to all our friends who got a call at the last minute, and showed up. You are all amazing. If i was famous, i would make you my inner circle. Happy #4 gracie!!!!
a special treat.....
The gallery i work at was having a show for artist james coleman. he worked for disney a number of years.....(little mermaid, beauty and the beast, to name a few) so after the birthday dinner, we stopped in so grace could meet ariel's good friend. he is an awsome painter, but an even nicer person. WE LOVE HIM!!!!!

bubbles the convict
with christmas money from aunt patsy, grace got her very first fish. we went to the newly opened petco, and let her pick one out. she choose a convict, which has black and white stripes. i told her it better be the only convict she ever chooses.on our way home, we told her she gets to pick a name for her convict. so when we got home, i told her "ok, we are home, so you need to pick a name.....", and she said "HOME!" i told her let's try again. we sat down to dinner, and we asked her again to pick a name. "DINNER!" i told her we would think again. so after dinner, we set up the tank, put the fish inside, and plugged it in. with bubbles flowing all around.....guess what she names her fish????
