My Most Talented Melissa...

Here are some pictures that Melissa (one of our good friends took!) I think they are so beautiful I had to share them with everyone!

Playing with Anya

A stroller built for two! Maol decided to share his stroller, but only with conditions that he would always ride in front! I think this idea came from our dear nephew Jack!

KISSES...

...and HUGS!!!

For my favorite train table in the whole wide world!

BRUSH, BRUSH'IN

"The Great Puddle Expedition"

This is the biggest puddle ever, but not good for measuring, or stomping in! We love the pool here, Maol swims every day that it's warm enough. Our apartment is the one on the right. The workout center is to the left, and we have cookouts on the patio sometimes.
Looking for puddles is hard work, but having the magic puddle boots makes everything so much easier! The special tape measure is the accessory that really does the outfit justice!

Found a puddle to measure finally! Playing in puddles is much more fun though!

Maol-Eown just never sits still any more, he likes to do this bridge action while he watches Sesame Street or one of his movies. This a look at our newest domicile...only 6-7 months here!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

Getting ready to go out and release the CA-CAW on South Carolina!

We are out the door, feathers fluffed, and hard hat at the ready!

First house was easy, just grab and go...

The next house Maol decided to make the experience a little more personal! He just walked right in, dismissed the candy and was looking for something better to take for his treat!

Look at all that candy!

Maol-Eown practicing his Halloween scary faces!

The Train Table...

Maol stands in quiet reverence and awe of the train table! Please take a good look, because this is the first and last time we ever saw it in one piece! Riley put it together and it was like Christmas when Maol ran in to check it out!

What a view...

We love Yakima, WA because you can always see the mountains! This is a picture from Sagelands winery. Mt. Baker, Mt. Rainier, and Mt. Adams are all visible from Yakima.

Dave Matthews

We had time to go to the best venue (the Gorge in Washington) for a Dave Matthews Band concert! this is a view an hour before the concert where we were sitting...



Then we went down to our seats right up in front! What a great concert!

We Miss You Jack!

All is well today, except that Maol had a spurt of asking where "Yack" is. Couz'in Jack is the most missed little man right now! Maol misses wrestling before bed time, watching movies, playing in the backyard, learning new things, and going to cool places with his cousin Jack!

FINALLY HERE!!!

We are finally here in sunny Columbia, South Carolina and the weather is a perfect 75 degrees during the day and 50 degrees at night. We have been unpacking and adjusting to the huge time difference on a different coast. The plane ride from the Pacific coast to the Atlantic coast was a 18 hour trip, but we made it and now Maol is just hanging out in his new home for 6-7 months.

Thank you everyone for your patience and understanding while we have been in transit...We will start writing and calling everyone this week. Hope all is well to our loved ones in Denver, Montana, Hawaii, Washington, and everywhere else!

Long Hair...

Don't mess with me, they call me the Long Hair!

LUAU 2007...

From our family to yours...

We want to thank all our friends, family and loved ones who made it to the Maol-Eown Luau! It really does take a village to raise a little guy and ours is tuely loved. The food, the fun, the friends are all it takes to love a place, no matter where life takes us!

Maol-Eown Kamea Thanks You!!!

Fun with QuPi...

We went and picked up Anake QuPi at the airport yesterday and I have been wrastling with her ever since! I missed her so much, now I am not going to want her to leave. My QuPi and I went to the Denver aquarium and out to lunch with Carver, Lana and Mommy also.

Hey babe, wanna jump on my hog and take a ride?

I love to ride my hog and feel the wind whipping through my hair! The duster is so that the dirt doesn't ride up into my exhaust!

We smashed the unbreakable pinata! Everyone tried to break it, even the big strong Daddies, but it just wouldn't break. This is Lana helping me during my turn. I am still to little to reach that high.


We made our own goody bags, mine has spiderman on it. We colored them and put our treats from the pinata in the bag for later. We had cake and sang to Connor, played in the sandbox, and really had a lot of fun!

The Birthday Boy and his Da!

Everyone at the park for music ensemble!






A pondering Mallard!

Hair finally in a ponytail.

My Da does my hair in the mornings sometimes. I can't wait to go to school someday!
