March holiday pictures

Here are some pictures from the two holidays we celebrated this month, St. Patrick's Day and Easter. On St. Patrick's we all dressed in green and had some corned beef brisket, cabbage and potatoes. On Easter the kids and mom went to an Easter Egg hunt at Gunstock Ranch, and we colored eggs. We all ate way too much candy. The last picture is of Kainoa holding the onesie he picked out for Baby Tosh.

The first photo is of Kainoa and Bella watching TV. We tell them that this is what they look like when they are in front of the television - soulless, no eyed zombies (click on the photo).

The second photo is of little Tosh Henry, he is only -3 months old.

Some more photos...

Sorry I haven't posted any recent updates, it has been a busy time for us all. Spring break started today for the kids, and we spent the day at the Sunset Beach Elementary Fun Fair. So anyway, here are a few photos of the kids doing what they do, hang out at the beach. Kai's surfing is really improving. Kainoa and I have been spent a lot of time on skateboards, I will take a few photos of us skating around and post them up on Monday. Bella got on the skateboard for the first time today and is hooked.

My birthday

I had a great birthday today. I woke up early and went surfing with my friend Craig, and when we got out of the water Summer and the kids were kicking back on the beach waiting for me. That was a nice surprise. Here a couple of photos of a wave I got at V-land this morning, two nice little barrels on one wave. (the first picture was actually the inside section).

After we came home the kids and I played in the stream with the neighbors. Summer and the kids made me this awesome truck cake. It almost makes we wish I had an orange lowered truck. Almost.

Day at the Beach

Well we are officially at the end of our winter break. Classes at BYUH started Wednesday so I am back at work, Summer spent two days on Maui last week doing a photo shoot, and the kids start school tomorrow morning. We have lots to do preparing to get back to our regular schedules. So to kick things off right, we spent 5 hours at the beach on yesterday. Kainoa surfed, Bella swam, and we all played in the sand. This is the kind of day that makes you say "lucky we live Hawaii!"

Big Island trip

Matt and Kainoa went to Hilo on the Big Island for Kainoa's first surf contest in November. We went with Halua Nalu, his surf club. The club represented O'ahu well, Kainoa got third place overall and scored some good waves and a nice little trophy. This is Matt and Kainoa on the way to the airport, and Kainoa posing for the media with his trophy. The banner photo is of the biggest wave he got in his heat. Stoked!

Christmas 2007

Well we were bummed not to be able to hang out with our extended family on Christmas, but the kids pretty much scored thanks to grandmas, grandpas, aunts, uncles, and everybody else. Here are some pictures of Bella and Kainoa with their loot, and playing in the yard on Christmas day. Thank you so much for making our Christmas great.

Bella loves her new Barbie Jeep, baby, cell phone, lip gloss, and nail polish. She has obviously been studying Mom closely. Kainoa loves his new surfboard and bridge building kit. One bridge is built and he has had two sessions on his new board even though the weather has kind of sucked.
