Who is it?

Almost 6 1/2 years ago, our wonderful babysitter took the first picture of Ella and Eli. I am pretty sure that Emmy and Everett look just like their big sister and brother. Okay, Everett has way more hair than Eli did (and weighs a little more) and Ella has more hair than all of them put together, but besides that they look alike :)

Everett's first food

Okay, so I still nurse ALL OF THE TIME. This kid can eat. So I decided, lets try the basics....Rice and banana. Needless to say, he couldn't stand either. Better luck next month!

Everett's first Christmas

We had Christmas dinner at our house and had a blast with our neighbors Larry and Kennesha. Their daughter is Emmy's best friend EVAH! Christmas day was fun, especially watching Everett trying to take the wrapping paper and putting it in his mouth. He was the cutest little elf in the world.

Winter in Hawaii

So we had our real first winter here in Hawaii. It rained for, what seemed like an entire week, but I am sure it was just a few days. Emmy wanted to play in the rain so bad, and she hadn't received her rain boots yet since they were one of her Christmas presents, so she stuck my raincoat on and sat in the rain. Needless to say, it was a picture moment, but what moment isn't a picture moment with her?!?

Sorry

Sorry I haven't posted much lately. Our camera is so AWESOME, all of the pictures I take are higher data and take longer to post, but pictures are coming soon!!!

Santa man

Everett's green fuzzibunz go perfectly with his Santa hat!!! If only you all could squeeze this little man....he is so luscious!!!

Big Island

The Black Sand Beach at Punalu'u Beach Park. The weather was quite windy, but we saw what we came to see.....soft black sand. There is also a green sand beach, but you have to hike 2 miles to get there, so that was out of the question!

Pele's flower. Taken by Ella. We have a little photographer in our midst.

This was amazing at the end of the "Chain of Craters Rd." We weren't able to see any flowing lava because you have to hike over old lava to get there and didn't feel it was safe for the kids, but we do plan on going back to see it before we leave!

Lava formation.

Pele the volcano goddess' flower. Legend goes if you pick this flower it will rain....someone must of picked it twice while we were there.

Kilauea Crater, right next to our camp we stayed at.

The plants and flowers were beautiful and I loved the shape of this leaf...looks like a heart.
