Halloween Costumes

The babies in there new halloween costumes

Madison was so exhausted from the excitement of her new costume she fell asleep on Eric's foot.

I found these cute doggie pajama in Hawaii if you look close inside the skeleton there are dog treats and halloween candy.

They are so damn cute.

You can tell they are completely loving it.

Does this look like a dog who is enjoying her new outfit.

It was so funny we couldn't stop laughing.  

Big Island of Hawaii 10/1-10/8 2010

Mom and I took a girls trip to the Big Island of Hawaii.  We had such a great time this was our first day there and we saw this cute turtle taking a nap on the beach in Kona

He really was trying to nap and I was annoying him

We took a snorkeling trip out to Capt Cook's Monument 

I hurried an got in the water because I get motion sick.  It took some convincing to get my mother in the water.

Me going head first down the water slide.  It was a blast

Mom out enjoying her first time snorkeling.  It was hard getting into the water but we couldn't get her out of the water we had such a great time

This really nice couple from Arizona that we went to a Luau with. there pictures were about an hour before the heavens opened up and we got completely soaked.

We had such a nice time until the rains came.

The catamaran we took out on our snorkeling trip

I took Eric waterproof camera and it did a great job taking underwater pics.

Mom and I took a drive down to the south end of the island to see Black sands beach.  We were so excited to see these three turtles enjoying themselves on the beach.

Just taking a nap

Nice waterfall at the botanical gardens.

I had such a fun time taking pictures of this Gecko.  We found this great little breakfast place called the Coffee Shack.  It has great views, incredible food and lots of little gecko's running arounds.

He was posing for his photo.

Our last day we went out to a SeaHorse aquarium we got there a little early and walked down to this beach.

Enjoying the last of our time on the Big Island.

Mom holding her first SeaHorse.

I got to hold my first seahorse as well.  It was very neat.

We headed back into Kona to have dinner before we flew out.  We went to Huggo's on the Rocks a fun little bar on the sand with good food.  We met these two guys who have lived on the Island for about 10 years they were really nice.

One last sunset to enjoy before our flight.  We had such a great time

August /September 2010

It's been a while since I have blogged so I am clumping a bunch of different pictures together for this.
They had an unofficial balloon festival in August and I think there were about 8-10 balloons up that day.

There are my adorable yard Mushrooms I just cant get over how cute they are.

All the balloon fly past our house. It is so much fun to watch.

Eric and I decided to try to make a water feature.  We found a rock in our yard and Eric got a drill from a friend and work we drilled a hole in it.  I ordered a solar water pump and the whole thing turned out way cool.

Another great day on the lake with the babies!!  Madison is my copilot.

Just taking a break chillin on the water.

She loves her momma

What a beautiful fall day on Pineview.

Carol and I decided to do this ride called the Wonder woman century.  We opted for the 70 miles which turned out to be a good thing because they were slightly disorganized but the route was nice. It did get really hot though.

Carol enjoying the ride. (We hadn't missed lunch yet)

Having fun taking pictures along the way.
