Phe Phe's First Birthday!

I do apologize in advance for the inconsistent posting. I was busy planning this thing, training a girl at work, and battling a mommy/son flu at the same time. I can't believe a year went by since I gave birth and I can get really descriptive and vulgar about this subject but I won't go there...My mind and body clock is still in February and I must have somehow left it there after filing my tax return but my son is a TODDLER now and I don't like that word...All you want is for them to talk and walk and be mobile and once that happens, all you want is for them to stay in one place. I totally understand now why people have 5 kids and not just for religious purposes. Needless to say we are back and have a pile of photo love! Thank you for all that made it to the party...Thank you Phe for giving me the best year of my entire life! Really, thanx man! Special thank you to Chris at Adventure Balloons for turning all the kids into their wildest dreams!! And congratulations to our beautiful friends Hana and Micah who shared with us that they are going to be expecting mommy and daddy to be I can't think of any two people more deserving of this! I am going to spoil the crap out of it!

Sandy Beach Tide Pools

When people hear Sandy Beach, they automatically think of neck breaking shore break and hot chicks. For me, I have a love hate relationship with Sandy's..I remember as a teenager jumping into a 6ft shore break trying to impress my friends and within seconds getting pounded over and over again dragged out pounded again to what I can only recall and describe as a rag doll in a washing machine experience until I got rescued by an arch-enemy at the time who happened to be my friend's boyfriend. I don't get embarrassed very often but that day definitely sucked..I guess the only thing I loved about Sandy's in the first place was that it was that it was so close to my house. Not too long ago, I made peace with Sandy's when I realized I didn't have to hang out with the scene and found the tide pools where you could just relax and be by yourself. It's on the left hand side of and the waves are rather friendly and you can probably count how many people are there on one hand at all times. Who knew Sandy's could be so baby friendly? I guess you could say that Phe helps me overcome my fears. The kid inspires me. He is fearless and enthralled by new adventures especially in the water..Every time we take him to the beach he gets deeper into the waves. We come here and play going back and forth the tide pools and the beach. This is where we took Phe and my husband dunked him in the water at 5 weeks old so I guess we will always in a way hold Sandy's close to our hearts and not just because it's so close to our house ;)

Waimanalo Pumpkin Patch

We went to the Pumpkin Patch today in God’s Country a.k.a Waimanalo. I personally love Waimanalo..They have the best beach and love that everyone rides around in golf carts there. Anyway, today we went to catch the Pumpkin Patch in the farms up there to get all festive and excited for Halloween. Half way there I realized I forgot Phe’s pants and shoes.. Regardless, it did not stop Phe from getting down and dirrrrrrrrtaaaaaay and flirting with the chicks of course.
