Fun in the sun and the rain

Sorry to my family I guess I am lagging behind. Thanks for all the text messages to remind me to update the blog. We really have been busy. Of course we have been at the beach again. Gracie had a great time with one of her little friends. They were trying to learn how to boogie board. We went over to bellows beach. This is one of our favorites. The funny thing is Deven got stung by a man of war (they are mini jelly fish) twice. I had no sympathy the second time he knew they were out there yet he still wanted to boogie board. A little spray of vinegar and the burning eased up some. We were trying to enjoy the weekend as Deven starts a new rotation next week and I will have my first taste of being single mom his first weekend he is on call so wish me luck I don't like to sleep by myself in my house alone but I better get use to it this will be the first of many.

Deven giving Gracie a ride on his boogie board. She yells hit it and then has Deven take off like she is knee boarding. It is really cute. On a side note she said the prayer in Sunbeams this last week. Her teacher said she said "thank you that we can go on the house boat at lake Powell and thank you that we can sleep up on top" I thought is was so funny especially because we weren't able to go on the house boat this year.

Our family at Three Tables this has become our favorite beach up on the North Shore. In a couple of weeks the surf is suppose to start to get really big so we are trying to enjoy it as long as we can.

Deven went scuba diving again. I couldn't go this time. I haven't been feeling very well and didn't feel up to the task. But Deven found a friend to go with him. They dove Sharks Cove. I was sad I missed it. It is suppose to be an amazing dive. Deven saw a turtle and a huge eel. I need to get his pictures developed. The said the coral formation was amazing.

Deven getting ready to go into Sharks Cove. This is a great Snorkeling spot as well Some say it is better than Hananamah Bay. Deven thinks it is. It is really rocky to you have to wear reed shoes. But Gracie and I just waded out and fish were swimming all around us.

So I needed to post pictures of more than just the beach. We had a play group scheduled for the park but of course it rained. Well Amanda and I decided we didn't care we wanted to get out of the house. We went to the park and they played on the Tennis court the whole time running in the rain making rain angels in the puddles. They even tried drinking them. It is still warm when it rains so sometimes you do what you got to do They played forever in the rain it was fun.

Gracie finally got Deven to let her bury him in the sand. She worked really hard at getting deven to hold still so she could bury him. (I am not sure how you spell bury anyways as long as everyone gets it)

I have been tagged and I will be honest this one has been hard for me. I am suppose to think of 6 quirks that I have. I have been thinking about this way to hard so here it goes.
1) I way over think things. I think about things way to long I can't make decisions.
2) I can't leave my house without checking to make sure the curling iron, stove, lights etc are turned off. I will walk through my house sometimes 2 or 3 times. Then I have to wiggle the door knob several times and pull on it just to make sure it is really locked.
3) I like dollar buys. I will buy so many things just because they are only a dollar I have a dollar junk basket in Gracies room. It holds all the little toys we have bought for a dollar pretty pathetic huh just more things to pick up.
4) I can't sleep at night until I know everything is locked up and I still check on Gracie to make sure she is breathing. Will I ever let go probably not.
5) I am the worst back seat driver. I am constantly telling the other driver how to drive or if I don't dare say something out loud. I find myself grabbing the seat or the side of the door of the car. I also press my feet down on the passenger side like that makes it all better.
6) I still make a list every night of all things I want to get done the next day. But the sad thing is I never even look at my list the next day. I just feel better when I write things down.

Now I am going to tag Lisa, Rashelle, and Shirece Lets see what your quirks are.

YIKES!!!!

So today we took another Sunday drive out to Liae Point. It is kind of by the temple, but I read about this spot in a magazine and wanted to go check it out. It is a small peninsula that goes out into the ocean and from it you can see so much coast line of Hawaii on the one side and on the other there is a big rock that extends out. Legend has it this was known as a lizard that was to protect the Island from any intruders. A definite must see for anyone who comes out here. Gracie was a little apprehensive out on the rocks but she thought they were so cool she just didn't want to get to close to the edge. I can respect that I didn't want to either.

Deven standing on one side of the peninsula and you can see all the amazing coast line behind him, the sad part is my camera only captured about half of it. It was amazing, a great place to sit and enjoy.

Gracie and I sitting and in the background you can see the great rock and known in legends as the great lizard or protector.

Ok so one night we went up to sunset beach to of course watch the sunset. Deven and Gracie got in. I am kind of particular about when will get in the water so I decided to be a picture taker instead. You have to admit there is a reason this is called sunset beach. It was amazing watching the sun go down.

Deven enjoying a little swim at dusk.

Yikes. Yes I told you we went scuba diving again and I finally got some pictures. I say Yikes because I just got done watching shark week on the discovery channel. Oh yeah and Hawaii was only mentioned a "hundred times" has having sharks. I can't believe I did it. I guess it is a good thing you don't know things before you go. Deven is wondering if he will ever get me back in the water scuba diving and to that I say I'm not sure.

We ran into some other scuba divers out there and they took a picture of us under water. It really was fun. I didn't see any sharks.
