I can't believe it has been almost a year since JP and I were able to go to Hawaii with all my family. It was his first time and I loved being able to share with him some of the island experience. For those who do not know, I grew up in Western Samoa (south east of Hawaii). We had a marvelous time. 
Sad! This is from my phone, but mabye you can get the jist of it. This was taken from our bedroom. We were in a house on the beach in Laie just down from BYU, The P.C.C and the The Temple. Oh, to be back there now.
Ok girls, Harry Potter has been pushed back to 2009 leaving its prime November 21st release day wide open, so.....! Yep, they have pushed forward Twilights release to take it's slot. 3 weeks early. YEAH! To all those interested we are planing a night out to catch the midnight showing 11/21/08. Let us know if you want in. I think we will just meet at the church and carpool.
While Uncle Ryan was here he gave the kids diving lessons in Grandma's pool. Here is a look at Girly's turn.
We have a new puppy. His name is Jake. He is a tiny little mix. (Dachshund, Jack Russel Terrier, Pug, Shitzu) He and Marty play well with each other and Marty has let him know who is boss.
YEAH! Now don't think I am a bad parent. I love my children with all my heart, might, mind and strength. BUT, we were all so glad when school started. For so many different reasons. They love school and seeing there friends everyday. I love helping with homework and cleaning my house only once a day. All and all it helps us miss each other more than we would. I love when my kid come home and yell "Mom we're home!" in a sing song voice wearing the biggest smiles you've seen.
For the 24th of July - (Pioneer day) we went with my Mom to her ward activity. They had yummy food and lots of pioneer crafts, games and dancing for kids of all ages. Our kids Loved it. They played and danced and sack raced till they just couldn't do it any more. Not knowing JP as well as I, several people tried to get him out on the dance floor (mind you they were square dancing). After the slew of people prodding him, he told me if one more person tries to make me dance we are leaving. Luckily no one else did so, we got to stay.
