Head on collision on a 2 lane country road....the other car was smashed....this poor car with 2 little boys in it was sent flying into the ocean. They are all ok though.

2011-08-27T07:47:00.001-10:00

Dex is awesome on the drums!

Daddys weekend

2011-08-02T01:55:00.001-10:00

Yes... that is Darla telling Dex to get up in the bath so can wash his belly... and yes Daddy did give Darla the cutest piggy tails ever... and yes daddy had lots of fun.

Miss you mommy... hurry home.

2011-07-31T05:27:00.001-10:00

Is it wierd that the rental car guy said,"wow most woman would be lucky to look like you pregnant..do you work out?". I didn't even know what to say. Did he see my butt?
It was wired.
Little does he know I'm six months along and look 9 months.

2011-07-16T08:38:00.001-10:00

He is such a nice boy. Darla was scared of all the fake cars. She thought i was going to put a quarter in and make them move. She hates that. What kind of kid is she? She is saving me money i guess.

Dexter's future...an ice cream man.

2011-07-16T08:33:00.001-10:00

Stinkers...i turn around for 2 seconds to wash some strawberries.

2011-07-11T15:53:00.001-10:00

Free slurpee day 7/11. I have not had one in years. Dexter kept saying "its nummy mommy!"

2011-07-11T12:13:00.001-10:00

Free slurpee day...7/11

2011-07-05T09:33:00.001-10:00

Watching Dunno for first time and loving the animals and train. They are mesmerized!

2011-07-04T21:10:00.001-10:00

We are at turtle bay in a sweet spot ready to push a raft in the water to watch fire works.

2011-07-02T17:17:00.001-10:00

daddy made a rocking skate board!

2011-07-01T21:40:00.001-10:00

2011-07-01T20:36:00.001-10:00

They have peanut butter on their arms, belly and nose. I was outside for 5 minutes and they did this. They were carefully painting it on themselves when i came in and caught them.

she put the hat on and rode the horse.

2011-07-01T16:11:00.001-10:00

I didnt even tell her the hat and horse go together!

corn-holio needs TP for her bum...

2011-07-01T16:05:00.001-10:00

She keeps wrapping the dolls up and kiss

2011-06-25T18:19:00.001-10:00

She keeps wrapping the dolls up and kissing them and putting them to bed. she has done this over and over maybe 20 times!

Can you see the blueberry seed between h

2011-06-23T10:44:00.001-10:00

Can you see the blueberry seed between his front teeth?

Dexter and a bra

2011-05-29T11:27:00.003-10:00

I did not realize I had this stupid boarder on my phone camera. Just ignore the measuring cup and oven mit.

This is where we went to church this Sunday...

2011-05-22T15:29:00.001-10:00

Mmm. If only the chocolate shake came in tiny little cups.

2011-05-17T23:06:00.002-10:00

This was my favorite picture all night. The song being sing was 'like a virgin'...

Rachel had a teddy bear in her hair and made a hoop skirt with a wire hanger. It was her Gaga moment!

2011-05-17T23:02:00.001-10:00

The homies at Krazy Karaoke!

interpretive dancing mixed with karaoke.

2011-05-17T01:31:00.002-10:00

2011-05-07T20:47:00.001-10:00

He is 2 inches taller and 5 lbs heavier....but all i have to do is say "get em Darla, get em!" and she can wrestle that boy to the ground!

2011-05-07T12:29:00.001-10:00

There is a bake sale if you go down my street toward the ocean. They have choke ONO grinds! Oh, those are not m&m's in that cookie, they are skittles. Surprisingly delicious!

2011-05-07T10:31:00.001-10:00

I walked into the kitchen and almost ran into this....i was impressed but also had the same feeling a farmer has when he discovers a crop circle.

2011-05-03T01:54:00.002-10:00

3 three grown adults in bed ....all scared of the the thunder and crazy lightning that we swear just touched down outside of our window. Both babies have not woken up yet. What a BIG FAT miracle.

2011-04-30T19:07:00.000-10:00

Happy DAPPER Birthday Party Darla & Dexter!

2011-04-22T21:41:00.000-10:00

For the first time in my cheap life i actually put quarters in while they played on the mary-go-round...who knew they would FREAK out and grab the horse and scream bloody murder! Last time i waste money on them.

2011-04-22T21:26:00.001-10:00

Happy Easter. Nothin' like a creepy easter bunny to get this holiday started right. Darla liked the bunny way too much. She has a thing for big tall charactors dressed in costumes. What's next? Dating carnie's?

dex and dad surfing at chun's

2011-04-14T06:04:00.003-10:00

motorcycle and side car at Costco...

2011-04-14T05:58:00.001-10:00

Too bad the side car only fits a toy and not a kid. I would have bought that sucker!

darla loves to barry herself

2011-04-09T16:01:00.002-10:00

she busted her lips on the rocks

2011-04-09T15:55:00.001-10:00

she was so brave about it.

2011-04-09T13:23:00.001-10:00

They are about to go shred...

2011-04-02T10:18:00.001-10:00

The kids threw up from dawn til' dusk. Dex slept on me and whimpered all night with a fever. Daddy has a bad cold. We are all enjoying cartoons and crackers and juice this morning in bed.

2011-03-28T11:10:00.001-10:00

The babies went to atlanta with chris to see the family and to watch cousin Ali star in her school's production of HAIRSPRAY! I had to work and stayed home....boo! Now the kids are back and in their naked natural habitat.

2011-03-18T10:51:00.001-10:00

Then he used the baby as a foot rest

2011-03-18T10:47:00.001-10:00

Dexter changed the diaper and fed the baby a bottle by himself.

2011-03-17T22:12:00.001-10:00

Facebooking her peeps

2011-03-16T09:46:00.001-10:00

Hallway skateboarding.

"I wanna boading"

2011-03-14T12:06:00.001-10:00

Dex in the bowl north shore skate park. He loves his skate board and when he sees it he says "I wanna boading" then sits on it and scoots along with his legs. He's also working on his drop in stomp... still on carpet on that one.

Darla did our taxes.

2011-03-09T15:59:00.000-10:00

It did not take long for her long to count our money

2011-03-04T23:01:00.001-10:00

Nude skating

2011-02-20T13:44:00.001-10:00

Darla, the invalid.

2011-02-13T21:49:00.001-10:00

YouTube SERENE BRANSON from the after Grammy CBS2news report....she is going to be infamous for completely speaking in JIBBERISH! Not one word of any english or any recognizable languege was spoken during her report.

It's awesome.

Piggy, draw me a picture

2011-02-10T18:09:00.001-10:00

Just thought this was too funny to keep to myself.

2011-02-06T12:56:00.001-10:00

Friends at nursey on sunday

2011-01-29T19:52:00.001-10:00

What do you do with a box full of free over ripe bananas? Make banana ice cream of course!

All you need is to blend frozen bananas with a dash of vanilla and a dash of lemon juice. Blend like crazy! You might need a vita mix to do it.

You can add chocolate chips like we did on the left or frozen berries like the one on the right.

2011-01-29T19:48:00.000-10:00

This morning i found dexter in darla's crib. They were jumping in the dark having a great time.

2011-01-28T14:25:00.001-10:00

How does the chalk taste dexter?

2011-01-25T16:31:00.001-10:00

Soooo...waiting in the slc airport...said hi to Tobey Mcguire, got a long stare and smile from the guy from Enterage (only cause i was tired and staring)...Kate Bosworth is currently give me bad looks cause she looks so plain and i stared thinking "she looks familiar, do i know her?". We are watching Obama's state of the union speech. Kate is pretending to be REALLY interested. I would take a picture but after my last experience with Lance Bass's boyfriend flipping off my camera after snapping a pic...i don't DARE!

... I did it anyway...she is straight ahead with blonde hair.

2011-01-24T19:18:00.001-10:00

Wow....dexter is afraid of his own Mr. Hanky.

I found him climbing for his life on the shelf on the right. He had another turd half hanging from his butt, thats how i knew he was the dirty one here.

2011-01-24T17:44:00.000-10:00

The best way to run and get their energy out!

2011-01-24T16:30:00.000-10:00

If you have a crib tent and put it on a pack N play....then i would suggest tying down the front and back. This way if the midget you are caging decides to escape, they won't get stuck in the middle like mine did.

2011-01-24T09:50:00.001-10:00

I am so glad they can fix things while dad is at work.

Little Taggers

2011-01-22T16:19:00.001-10:00

Saturday. . . Watching people surf big Pipeline and chalk tagging at the Northshore Skate Park with Daddy.

2011-01-22T15:37:00.001-10:00

Coolest bike we saw in amsterdam last week. Chris wants to try and make one. I'm so excited!

2011-01-22T15:32:00.001-10:00

Hop on little darlin'

2011-01-07T22:54:00.000-10:00

Uh oh! Darla figured out Dex is a boy!

2011-01-07T17:36:00.001-10:00

Once again darla has altered her outfit. We need to have a talk about modesty. This is getting WAY outta hand.

2011-01-07T14:38:00.002-10:00

2011-01-07T14:37:00.001-10:00

Auntie Katie, I'm waiting for you to teach me ballet!

2011-01-07T11:08:00.001-10:00

Darla is so big, she can even help change Big Dex's diaper!

2011-01-06T01:14:00.000-10:00

It's 1:00am and on my way home from work i see 2 little 9 year old boys walking on KAM hwy. I pull over and they said they took the wrong bus to their friends house. I had them call their mom and i took them home...boooy was it far!

There were a lot of weirdo's walking around, i swear one guy looked like Jimmy Hendrix ghost, but hawaiian. I was so scared for them. When we got to their house, the older white trash brother yelled at them for making him come home early from bowling to look for them. The boys had snuck out....from the looks of their homelife, i don't blame them.

2010-12-31T23:26:00.001-10:00

Its new years eve. This is the second yea on a row that i got off of work at 11pm and am now driving from one side of the island to the other to get home by midnight so that i can kiss my sweet husband who is folding laundry and wish him HAPPY NEW YEAR! It is raining and there are so many fireworks going off across the whole island that i can barely drive through the smoke. The rain isn't helping any either. I tried taking a picture of the sky but my phone camera is not that magical. You can't see a darn thing.

Yummy food in Kahuku!

2010-12-29T14:01:00.001-10:00

Right next to Ono Yo is the Cheeseburger in Paradise truck. Burgers and fries and plate lunches for about $7!

2010-12-29T11:40:00.001-10:00

I have no clue why Darla likes the Tarzan look? She always slips her arm out of her shirt or bathing suit to complete the one shoulder look. Strange?!?!

2010-12-28T16:35:00.002-10:00

At lunch with my homies. Bucca do Beppo style.

Family talent show

2010-12-28T09:00:00.001-10:00

Then Darla played her own song

Then she added a tamberine and became a one man band

Finally she started taking requests from the audience.

D & D played a duet

highlights from Christmas in Atlanta

2010-12-28T08:55:00.001-10:00

Darn sneakers sneaking around again.

Dex the drummer!

2010-12-24T11:07:00.001-10:00

Not sure where he gets it but we're proud of the little drummer boy.

2010-12-18T13:36:00.001-10:00

On our way to atlanta for some COLD weather! Daddy and dex are in the front of the plane.

cute sunday pictures from months ago

2010-12-14T23:40:00.001-10:00

Family night at the movies!

2010-12-13T21:38:00.000-10:00

Darla and Dex loved the movie TANGLED.

2010-12-13T15:53:00.001-10:00

After yoga i love to hit up ONO YO! Soooooo ONO!
I get a small of one of the fresh daily flavors and i add the local made granola. It's around $4. So cheap!

Bath time consists of:

2010-12-13T13:52:00.000-10:00

Dumping water on heads,

Long distance swimming,

And splish splashin'!

Drinking a smoothie,

2010-12-12T15:12:00.000-10:00

Miss Piggy

2010-12-11T13:57:00.001-10:00

So cute

2010-12-11T11:38:00.001-10:00

Dexter always locks Darla between the screen and door.

2010-12-08T02:01:00.000-10:00

Daddy and Dex cutting the tree.

2010-12-06T20:56:00.001-10:00

Darla and Dex are so good at shopping.

Fw:

2010-12-06T08:20:00.001-10:00

We looked at christmas lights downtown, bought a tree, and did some christmas shopping. I love having a family!

2010-12-06T00:38:00.000-10:00

The past few weeks we did this...

2010-07-28T00:11:00.003-10:00

Since I suck at posting I just stole these pics from Jonna....sorry!

Seriously....my children look strange...I dont know who they get it from?
They were in a Cheeto coma.

And yes....that is Darla's first and last experience with Cheeto's. She was sick of her broccoli smoothies and decided to indulge in the finer things in life.

The Zoo was super fun and the Tigers were out. I never see them! The Chimps did not do anything nasty that day....What a relief!

See life park is $10 this month with your Foodland card. The Dolphins splashed water all over us and soaked us. Darla and Dex were a little offended at first.

We have been at the beach almost everyday and it is so fun getting in the water with them! I will post the pics of Chris and Dex surfing. It was cool.

Mmmm... artichoke

2010-07-27T10:20:00.001-10:00

Mmmm... artichoke.

After I streamed it Darla loved it. Dex... not so much. Actually may be the most grossed out face I've seen. But Darla... ate those leaves like a pro. Even got some heart.

Getting used to flying

2010-06-29T08:09:00.001-10:00

Here is Dex... think he is getting the hang of this traveling thing? FYI he is actually asleep in this picture and I had to turn on the overhead light to get it.

Chris Made The Homepage of A Website

2010-06-10T23:38:00.003-10:00

There is a company called Nortek that makes sensors that Chris uses for work to measure waves and currents. This is a picture of him deploying one of the sensors on a tripod mount that he designed for Hanauma Bay. The picture was on the Homepage of the Nortek website (http://www.nortekusa.com). Pretty cool.

Tune in Tokyo

2010-05-26T23:48:00.007-10:00

Quick overview of our Tokyo Weekend where we met Katie and Brent for their 12hr layover in Tokyo. We just thought they need some company...

Thanks Jared and Christy for letting us stay at your super cool house. We still might add the walk through video we took of the house. It really was cool. I'd have to raise the door jams a bit so we would quit bonking our heads. Other than that...did I mention it was a cool house.
The trains were surprising quite. Listen carefully and you might hear...

...Nothing.

Where's Waldo...and by Waldo I mean "White girls."
Click to try your luck

What's that? No Smorking? Sorry, I don't speak Engrish.

Oh wonderful wonderful business class, how we love your comfy lying down egg chairs, leg room, real food, and ice cream. Finally, no more sitting behind the engines with all those common folk and their loud cramped cheap tickets.

Stiff steps

2010-05-26T19:45:00.002-10:00

Who knew the kid with the stiff body would walk first.

2010-05-16T18:35:00.001-10:00

I let them spoon feed themselves. I bet Chimps would have done a better job!

Drink your Veggies!

2010-05-14T17:21:00.001-10:00

I am lazy and don't want to steam, puree, put in ice cube trays and reheat Veggies for my babies. I just blend them with fruit juice and frozen fruit to make a Yummy smoothie! Watch out Jamba juice, i'm healthier and cheaper than you!

Teething

2010-05-14T07:47:00.001-10:00

Poor Rubber Duckie, it never had a chance! Did you notice the waterfall of drool coming out of his mouth?
