another LOST tooth

Well it hasn't been that exciting of an adventure this week, all we do since the kids still aren't in school is spend our time at the beach and hang out at home trying not to be in each others way. Still learning patience on that end.

Well Jake has lost another tooth, the dentist before we left couldn't believe that a 5 year old has lost so many teeth already. What can I say this kid has always been a fighter to do things sooner than later.

This kid is funny, he will be playing like crazy and then when he decides that he is done is ready to go home. To bad the other kids aren't on his time schedule, it kind of upsets him, but then he sees that they are still playing so then he will get up and go play again.

When we get home all he has to do is sit on the couch and then this is what comes next. He is going to have a rude awakening when he actually has to go to school from 7:45-2:30 everyday

What a cute kid-when he is sleeping!! No he is cute all the time-we love his outgoing personality

I am finding different ways of cooking without having AC in our place. The oven heats this place so much that we are cooking in ways that don't require a whole lot of the oven. I have used my crockpot more in the last 2 weeks than I have in the entire year, so when the kids want some cookies, this is what we will resort to most likely. 

Hopefully this week we will be able to post first day of school photos!! That is what we are really hoping for, and not just me. The kids are actually asking to go to school so that they have something to do. Hope they remember that when they have homework-doubt it!!!

Until next week

boredom...maybe

Well to begin with, couple of questions that I am sure you all want to know the answers to.....yes we are enjoying paradise, yes we can walk across the street and go to the beach (not our favorite beach, but still a beach), NO the kids are not in school yet still working on Hawaii time, yes we went to church today and it seems like it will be a good ward (there are only 1 primary class per age group) and yes this is our new car (sort of) it is a 2002 Mazda MPV leather seats 7. So hopefully it will survive a year for us. The top of the hood is just what happens to cars here and the leather inside is nice for all the sand from the beach but doesn't hold up very well to the sun so it is pretty cracked up.

This is our dryer-if the weather is good. Yes we share a washer and dryer with the upstairs owner but she has asked that we not use the dryer if the weather is good (cost to much) so this is how we will do our wash. Like the kids say it is like we are living in the olden days.

We didn't have a car one day and the kids wanted to go to the beach so we walked across the street and went to that beach. It is not our favorite because it gets rocky-as you can see-pretty close to the shore so the kids had fun but not a great boogie boarding beach. Jake learned that the hard way!!

This is what happens when you spend hours at the beach playing in the surf. It usually knocks Jake out, gives the rest of us a break from his boredom with no toys

Curtis was a little bored with nothing to do so he decided to work on his scouting stuff. So we got quite a few things passed off-what a good boy!

There is only one ice cream place in Laie and it is our favorite so after family night we decided to head over and get some yummy COLD ice cream

Enjoying the COLD

For some reason when I turned the camera onto me and Jake the picture turned out a little grainy-sorry, but hey at least I am in a picture!!

So people have been asking us what we spend our time doing when we have no friends (yet) no toys and are tired of sitting on top of each other in our house-well this is what the kids have found to do. There are TONS of lizards running around our place and I told the kids that when I was little and at Lake Powell we would catch lizards and put them on our ears. They didn't believe so Curtis had to try it out-gotta love the new accessories

Yes as you might have noticed, this little lizard is missing his tail. It still didn't stop Curtis from seeing if it would hang on his ear

So after Jake saw Curtis well he just had to have a try....

Blue moon hanging out behind a cloud, the girls and I walked to get some dinner and on the way home out over the ocean, beautiful I must add was the Blue Moon. The boys decided to go watch Kahuku high play football. In case you're wondering Kahuku high creamed the other team ;-)

The boys are completely worn out....

what a bunch of handsome little men!!

Since the kids are not in school yet, we would go to the beach everyday. It is quite relaxing and one of my favorite things. We went and bought two boogie boards and that just makes the beach that much more fun!!

Well that is all for this week, hopefully we will have the kids in school this next week and we will see where that takes us!! Enjoy and we miss you all ;-)
