Winter in Hawaii

Winter in Hawaii can be tough...haha okay I'm kidding.  The weather is literally perfect!  Its funny as when I talk to my mum, I'm always saying how it feels cold in the mornings (in the winter that is!) and then when she asks what the temperature is and I tell her 17C, she just laughs!  And who would blame her.  I guess you can say I've definitely acclimatized and am not used to the cold.  Anyway, as it is so lovely outside most days over the Christmas/New Years break we were able to take the boys to the water park, wet n wild.  Noah and Roman just LOVE being in the water.  It's a good job really, living in Hawaii and all!  Roman is our little daredevil. He will try just about everything, so going to the water park can be a little dangerous, you really have to watch him, even if he has his life vest on!  Anyways, the boys had such a fun day, we actually managed to wear them out, which takes a lot to do!!










We also took the boys bowling on the base.  Roman was so excited he slept the whole time; not that he's old enough to bowl anyway!  So anyone that knows me, knows that I'm not actually that great at bowling.  In fact, I'm bad, and very rarely get in the 90's let alone 100's.  So when the guy at the desk told us that we would have to have the sides up for all of us I was pleased and thought that I'd actually do ok and have no gutter balls.  Boy was I wrong.  Although I didn't get any gutter balls, Noah actually beat me both games!!  Yes, I was beaten by a 4 year old.  I still can't believe it, and I am just stacking up to the fact that on my second game I was hungry and eating in between bowling put me off my game. (Yes, that's my story and I'm sticking to it!) 


I never get a serious face! :)



Winner!!

Proof he beat me both games!

I love spending time with my family!! :)

We really loved having a week off for Easter Break!  It was very much needed, for all of us.  I love having Noah at home.  He's such a great help and now that he's older, he's a real good buddy for me.  We have really great, grown up conversations, I love it.  We just really enjoyed family time, seeing old friends and eating lots of chocolate.  Isn't that what school breaks are all for?!  Here are a few photos of our fun.

It kind of snowed.....twice

Image
So my lovely little (or not so little) cutie pies were really excited to move here for one main reason...SNOW!  They had never seen or can remember seeing snow.  So after hearing that last years snow fall was a crazy amount and the schools were closed, they were super excited for this winter. (A lot more so than mummy, let me tell you!)  If there is one thing I have learned from moving here, although I do like it here, I DO NOT like cold weather!  I just cannot stay warm....but hey that's another story.  A few weeks back we did indeed get snow. This was the second time this year.  It was a very little but it pleased my children all the same!  They had fun in the snow till their fingers froze.  There was enough snow to make a snowman this time so they were happy. View from our front door Noah trying to make a snow angel.  The snow had unfortunately frozen, because of freezing rain, but it did make a little indent. Noah p...

Noah's Baptism

Image
It really is great to be 8!  Our handsome Noah has been looking forward to this day for over a year now.  In our church you are able to get baptized a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints at the age of 8. We believe that Baptism is an important first step to returning back to our Heavenly Father and to be able to eventually live together forever.  (For my non LDS friends you can read more about baptism and our religion here .)  We have been planning for a few weeks some of the things he wanted and he was super excited because both his grandparents were able to visit for his special day. He was baptized on his birthday by his daddy and the given the gift of the Holy Ghost by daddy too.  We had a small gathering, but enjoyed a yummy ice cream bar afterwards, Noah's request! :) We are so proud of him.  Noah is growing up to be a fine young man, he's caring, loving, intelligent, humble, crazy (the good kind :), there is never a dull mom...
