My Mom Came and I am Going to the Mainland

Well it has been a crazy couple of weeks. My mom got here on Mothers Day and it was really nice to have her since Deven was in Texas doing some training that week. We had tons of fun so as promised to all the sisters here are some of our adventures. We are now getting ready to head to the airport because I am flying home with my mom for a few weeks to visit the rest of my family. I am excited it has been a year since we have been home so I might not be able to post for a while, I will do my best. But I will still check in from time to time to see what everyone is up to. This is my mom, Gracie, Dylan and I at the Polynesian Cultural Center. We enjoyed the villages, dinner and of course the show.
Gracie learned how to weave as we went throughout the villages. She also found herself a crown and felt like a princess.

Dylan and I got to spend lots of time in the shade, so here he is kicking around for a bit.
My mom and Gracie took a submarine ride down at Waikiki they saw a shipwreck, airplane wreck and sting rays.
We took Grandma to the Temple and saw an art show that was on exhibit.
We took a trip to the North Shore and of course had to get a famous shaved ice.
We took Grandma to our favorite beach 3 Tables, Grandmas was not planning on getting very wet so she didn't wear her suit. Gracie had other ideas and before you knew it she had Grandmas out there boogie boarding. Gracie was great teacher.

We Blessed Dylan

We blessed Dylan on Sunday May 3, 2009. He was only 3 weeks old and it was hard to find an outfit to fit him, but we wanted to bless him while we had some family here. Here we are after church. It was a little bit different than Gracie's, because we only had Deven's mom here, but it was still really nice.
Gracie, Nana, and Dylan
Well Nana finally left and today is my first day all by myself. So how am I doing. Well I got out of the shower before noon, so I feel pretty proud of myself. We spent a lot of time at the beach while Nana was here. Deven had to show off his surfing skills and we taught Nana how to play one of Gracie's favorite games. Her and Deven call it "beach slapped"
Here is how it works, you sit at the edge of the ocean and wait for the waves to come. They pull you all over and you try to stay on the sand and not get swept out into the ocean. This game is guaranteed to get sand in places you don't want it.

Of course Deven has to play as well. We had a lot of fun with Nana. Thank you for all your help I am sure you will need a couple of weeks to recoup. I forgot how much work a baby is.
