Kailua beach time

Just a few pictures of the family enjoying some beach time in Kailua.  I'm feeling a little guilty that we missed the biggest storm to hit SB in 5 years..... but not that guilty. :)

House sitting in Hawaii

We are in Hawaii for 10 days house sitting for the Hollands while they are in Utah and Colorado. We are having a blast already. Walking to the beach everyday and enjoying some warm salty water and sunshine. I am hoping that this stay in Kailua will clear up all my kids crud they have in their lungs and body. Only been here a couple days, but here are some cute pictures of my extra curly haired girl! The humidity is really making her hair wild!

Birthday Boy

We celebrated Billy's birthday last Tuesday with a beautiful outdoor day and some funfetti cake at night. After we got school done, went back into the orthodontist for William (who lost a bracket brushing his teeth the first night he had them on) we headed out to Carp to meet up with some playgroup friends and pick avocados at our friends new house and small orchard. We picked a lot of avocados! They were asking people to come pick the trees because last years crop was still on them and they want a good crop next season. Win- win for everyone right!
After picking avocados, we went to lunch in Summerland at a local hamburger place Billy had eaten at once after training out there for work. Then it was off to piano lessons for the boys. I ran a couple errands during lessons and then we headed home.
Billy had requested BBQ tritip for his birthday dinner. So once we got home I prepped the meat, readied a scalloped potato dish, chopped up brocolii and cut up a cantaloupe. It was a delicious meal! We were all stuffed after eating, but we were able to stuff down some funfetti cake drizzled with coconut cream syrup and vanilla ice cream. Happy 34 years of life Billy dear, I sure love you a lot!
