Random Thought

Do I have less patience or is it being tested more. Because I feel I have less than I used to. Any thoughts on this?

Halloween and Stuff

Stefan had so much candy his bag broke. It was such nice weather we didn't even need jackets. The moon was full and we even got an extra hour of sleep. Halloween can't get better than that.

I bought some new glasses. I buy a pair every 5 years. It took me a really long time to find ones I liked and that looked good on my face. Apparently it's small and shaped funny.

I also sanded and refinished our table. I should have taken a before picture. At least half of the lacquer was coming off. It was two toned. Now it looks like a brand new table. It's actually 26 years old. I blame the need to sand and paint things on my mom. She's always doing something liked that. I'm the fixer, garage organizer person in our family. My husband does the grocery shopping and Christmas shopping. He's better at picking out clothes for me than I am. I'm glad our talents complement each other so well.

Stefan was an alligator for his school program and we had fun at the Fall Festival and our Trunk or Treat. Marcus is dressed up as a tourist. His clothes are wrinkled and he's wearing his Hawii shirt. I bet you can guess everyone elses costumes

Sierra's preschool went to Tanaka Farms for her field trip this year. She loved the corn maze, rididng the tracter, picking vegetables and petting the goats and sheep.

We went to a Broncos vs Chargers game. The Broncos are Marcus's favorite football team. It was my first pro football game. It was very exciting and the Broncos one. The train was so crowded he ended up walking to our car. It was only a couple of miles away.

They were nice and played legos with them. Took them to the beach and on many hikes. After they left Stefan kept asking to move to Utah.

Fun with Grandma

Kids had fun with grandpa and grandma or did grandma and grandpa have fun with them. I think it was some of both. I never knew Jessie could Hula hoop.

The food was amazing. We tried poui a purpleish gray root. It was okay. The dancing was awesome. They had different dances from all over the world and a fake volcano that would go off. One of the coolest things was they guy was holding a chicken and was able to completely calm it down and make it go to sleep or push some pressure point to make it go limp. I had never seen anything like that before. Then we woke it up.

This is on the grounds where the luau was held. It was pretty cool they blew the conch shells and then dig up the pig buried in the ground. It's covered in leaves and then volacanic rocks and then dirt.

The Napoli Coast was awesome. The hike was a bit dodgey in places but beautiful. I like the sign that says how many tourists have died. The bathroom was pretty narly.

There is so many stay chickens walking around everywhere. I fed some on the golf course. After golfing I had the best shaved ice I've ever had.

So we walked through a huge cornfield to a waterfall. I was too chicken to jump off but Marcus did it. He paid afterwards though. His ear wouldn't pop for about 2 weeks. I got devoured by mosquitos while I was taking pictures. I think I counted 17 just on my back.

All of our hikes were 5 hours long and all uphill then downhill. I was so sore. Golfing was one of my favorite activities.

10 year anniversary Fun in Hawii!!

We loved watching the sunrises. It's a 3 hour time difference so we were waking up at 4 in the morning. We kayaked the Wailua river together.
