Can't touch this!

Kinley's reaction to that prickly grass.
Toes curled, hands up, looking all around.
Exploring and learning about this big world he's just been introduced to!


I might just say this is a good photo for his 10 month picture! I love it!




 Okay! I've sat here long enough.  Somebody PLEASE COME GET ME! 
I don't like this stuff!

Beach Babes

These were our days on the beach.
Kinley was an avid explorer and Kalia was very hesitant to even step out of the car.  By the end of the week, Kinley had eaten a bucket full of sand and Kalia was barely brave enough to put a toe in the water.  We had fun, but as this momma reflects on the the times spent on the beach prior to kids or even when Kalia was an infant, it was much more relaxing!  When Shane asked Kalia what her favorite part of Hawaii was she said, "watching the movie 'Cars' on the airplane."
 I think we'll leave them home next time!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Haha! Just kidding.  
They are wonderful kids, and we enjoyed every minute with them!
This is how we saw Kinley most of the time.  Working his way away from us!
Kalia checking out her surroundings.
Lots of pictures of the little man.  Sorry, but he was just so cute!
  All with a face covered in sand!



Yes, that's a cruise ship in the background!

My daddy is pretty funny!

Collecting shells and rocks. 
She loved playing in the sand.  I think we'll have to make her a sand box this summer!



 Uncle Jed made them a dolphin and a turtle in the sand.  Here Kalia is sitting on the dolphins tail.
 And totally wiped out!  Snoozing on the beach.
(Kalia @ 10 months old sleeping on the beach!)
 Jed helping Kinley dip his toes in the water.
 Ahhh... blue skies and blue water.  SOOOO beatuiful!
Dinner in Waikoloa.
 Sweet Kalia
 Daddy and the Boss
 More food please!!
Mmm... I could eat it again!
Jed's coffee shop in Waikoloa.
Yum! Love that stuff!
And the outdoor seating is so inviting!  If only i didn't have a crawler to look after, I could sit here for a long time just sipping my coffee!  Great place Uncle Jed!

Can't wait to go back!

Hawaii

Brrr... its cold here!
We spent the past week in beautiful WARM Hawaii! And I am having the hardest time getting rid of these goose bumps!
We had a wonderful time drinking Kona Brothers Coffee (from Uncle Jed's coffee shop), and playing on the beach! And..... that's just about all we did! Ahhh... that is the life!
~~~~~~
Jed greeted us at the airport with leis.  Kalia was SOOO excited about them!  She couldn't quit smelling them.


Aloha!
 A happy auntie and her nephew
Looking for geckos.
 Kalia holding and smelling a plumeria.
 I asked Kalia to give Kinley a hug.  She did, but not very happily!
 Nothing like a fresh smoothie, on a hot day, at the beach!
 Parrots at the Hilton.
 Going to watch the dolphins.
We made it just in time to watch a little show.

 WOW!  Very impressive!
 Very observant!
 Brother and sister
Grandma and Kalia

 Kalia must have thought the waterfall in the back ground was too loud.
 Watching Cars after a long day.
 A beautiful ending to a wonderful first half of the week.
More pictures to come....
