Quarterly Update:

So here is a brief rundown of the past 3 months. We really are trying to Blog more often but we are usually at work and school in town (Honolulu, 1 hour away) and don't seem to find the time. When we are home we are usually making food and watching the Dick Van Dyke Show so you can see that there is little time for extra curricular activities. I don't know how everyone keeps up? Soon we will learn....baby steps, baby steps.
Well, we ended 2007 in Portland Oregon. On our last day we were able to spend some time with some of my good friends from High school. Kristina Shaw and Natalie Wilson. Natalie and Mark just bought a cute house in Portland and they have 2 gray Hens in there back yard. They don't have names but I wanted to call them Henrietta and Florence.


We went out that night and ate the worlds largest Pita....

Came home and took apart the Charlie Brown Christmas Tree (then loaded the dry thing up with fireworks at the beach and set it in FIRE)...

My sister Joni traveled back to New Orleans to march in Harry Connick Jr's Mardi Gras Parade called "Orpheus". She plays a huge drum in a Samba group. Lookin' hot my sista!

Chris turned the big 30 on Feb. 3rd so I threw him a party 'Senior Citizen' style! he made a doodie when we surprised him that night and I was so glad he was all diapered up!

We got the organization bug and pulled everything out of our garage and organized it on the lawn. We gave away %60 of the crap.


The garage was tidy but the overflow....


ended up in the house for more sorting.

Our Cesspool was finally cemented in.

We had crazy surf on the North Shore (pics are of Waimea).

Chris made an "UnBirthday" cake (he said he was hungry for chocolate).


I had surgery for Endometriosis which went well. But I had a slight case of Anemia afterward and my back bruised up. We will start Invitro this summer which means I will be overloaded with Hormone shots and cannot be held responsible for irrational/wacky behavior.

While recovering I learned how to solve the Rubik's Cube... 3 min. is my best time so far.


Our friends Tad and Amber Baltzer and Johnny and Julie B came out to visit and Tad made an illegal left hand turn on his board. His board crashed on his head and part of his fin broke off and was stuck in there!!!!!!!!! The good ol' Kahuku hospital ER gave him a few staples to close it up.

My niece and nephew starred in their High school play "Into the Woods". Ali was crazy Rapunzel and Jacob was Prince Charming. Good job thesbo's!

In my town, the local ranch puts on a huge Easter egg hunt for kids. This includes pony rides, hidden eggs with money, and the Easter Bunny comes riding down the hill on a horse of course!


Easter night we got together with friends and had a jam session...or at least we listened to Nathan and Zane Jam, Folk-Style(watch the video)! Zane's wife Anna made a yummy peach pie, Baby J kissed baby Elizabeth, Taylor beat me at a Rubik's cube match and of course I tortured a cat on the sabbath....Easter Sabbath! What is wrong with me? (watch that video too if you promise not to judge me).
