Looooooong 7 hr. plane ride.................

In the Lihue airport right after we arrived. Ben was on daddy's back in the babypack & Tyger was in the restroom.

Will this flight ever end?

Us getting on the plane. Sean got on with the other kids and Ben and I stayed out until the last minute. We dosed him up with Benadryl and he was out cold about 2 minutes after this pic was taken. He did really good. He was pretty much groggy for the entire flight except the last 30 minutes and then he was ready to get off!

We never heard a peep out of Tyger. He was so good. We packed all the kids backpacks with tons of snacks and crayons and paper and silly putty.........He had all his snacks gone in the first 30 minutes. too cute!

Benny's St. Patty's Day 1st Birthday Party...

First of all, these 5 little photos took 15 minutes to download or upload...whatever it's called. We brought Sean's old laptop and it is soooo slow. I was going to try and post more, but don't have the patience. We are having SOOOO much fun here in Kauai. I can't believe tomorrow is already Friday. All of us were trying to talk daddy into staying another week, but it didn't work. The weather is perfect, water delightful and family wonderful. I have only taken about 500 pics so far (literally). So I have plenty to choose from to show you all. Maybe I will try tomorrow. I leave you with a couple pics of Benj.

Hello!!! I'm all dressed in green for my party...where's everybody at?

Oh...there's the doorbell!

Ryland, YOU SIT DOWN NOW...this is MY party and you are younger than me and you are showing me up, standing there in the middle of the floor!

These are my party peeps! I'm so happy that I may have drooled on my shirt a little.

A kiss for the Birthday Boy!

HAPPY SAD DAY....

Today is my dear dad's birthday. I was going to post the poem I wrote for him on his 50th b-day, but that would mean that I would actually have to watch the video of his party so that I could write it down. Well, since I've pretty much had an emotional breakdown today, I don't think I will be watching that video...............maybe tomorrow.

DAD-
MISSING YOU STILL....
CAN'T WAIT TO GET OVER THIS HILL....

WHY THE ONES THAT WE LOVE HAVE TO GO..........
I WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND OR KNOW.......

BUT SOMEDAY I WILL SEE YOU AGAIN............
UNTIL THEN....................i love you!!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD!

In better news:

Happy Birthday Kya Blu &

12 DAYS.....

FAMILY FUN IN THE SNOW...

Sean has a friend named John, who is a ski instructor on the weekends up at Snowbowl. He offered to give the kids lessons this last Saturday. The kids didn't catch on too easily (not for lack of instruction... John is a good instructor and I have to admit, I was secretly taking in all that he was saying for MYSELF). Hudson did pretty good, but got going really fast and then fell and he was too scared to try any further. The slopes were pretty icy. UUUGH...I guess they take after their mommy. The first time I went was in High School with my brother and I never caught on the whole day. PATHETIC! Anyhow, Sean got some good skiing in with his buddy for awhile and the kids played in the snow. I went up with them a few times and then proceeded to face-plant in the mud at the bottom of the hill, which pretty much ended my day. It never fails that I ALWAYS embarrass myself, SOMEHOW!!! Why do I always leave somewhere with a STORY of making myself look stupid?@#$%^&* OH Well, my life of clumsy stupidity gives me lots of interesting stories to tell. Here are a few pics. I have more of us on the slopes that I took with another camera that need to be put on disk. I'll post them later...

THANKS SO MUCH JOHN FOR PUTTING UP WITH US THE WHOLE DAY & FOR THE FREE LESSONS!!!!

THANK YOU DANIELLE AND JONATHAN FOR TAKING CARE OF BENJAMIN FOR US ALL DAY!!!
