Summer Days and Nights

Ok....stop singing "Grease"
We have been enjoying, the now much shorter, trips to the beach both day and night. During the day to escape the heat and at night to escape the noises of a overly tired Hanlei.
Yet another attempt to "encourage" a love for the beach. Who am I kidding, she will have no choice but to love it.

See...she loves it.

What a cute family.

That's better.

She just wanted those clothes off.

Sometimes even the evenings are too hot to stay inside. So we can walk across the street to one of Hanalei's favorite places. Yes its the beach but she likes the tress...and her daddy.




This was the view we had after a wonderful bike ride.

Hanalei-d-bug

Smiles and Gibber Gabber

So for the last few weeks Hanalei has been gracing us with coos and smiles. Its been so much fun to get responses to all the talking I've been doing. I have captured a dew of theses moments on camera.


I would love to be the inspiration for these cute smiles and happy noises, but...I am not.

Wide Eyed

Rusty and I have always loved going on the bike path along the beach. We thought we would let Hanalei experience it too. I have never seen her so mesmerized. She had her little eyes fixed on all the trees overhead.

THis particular bike ride ended with a sleeping baby. Sensory overload.

Mother's Day with Hanalei

It was a fun day. Rusty got me a lei and we forgot it in the fridge when we went to church. Then at church they handed out leis to all the mothers and I was in the mother's lounge feeding Hanalei. Good times. I wore it when I got home. I sent a lei to my mom, and good news....she wore it to church. Happy mother's day to all.




She sure is cute.

Ready for the Waves

Hanalei Has been to the beach three times now. Unlike her parents she is not working on her tan.
Thanks to our friends the langs she just slept in this little SPF tent.

She also likes hanging out on her adorable beach blanket from Her Aunty Carol. So cute.

SHe has three bathing suits. One from Shelly, one from Jenny and one from Grandma Dee Dee. But they don't all fit too well.
Her last trip to the beach I stuck her foot in the tide pool water...she was not in love with that activity. We love our little beach bum!

Easter

Some Easter Fun.

Hanalei slept through egg dying

She slept through the easter egg hunt


But of course she woke up for easter dinner

Even though Hanalei was a party pooper for her first Easter, Rusty enjoyed his first out door Easter egg hunt. Imagine that, some places its too cold to have an out door easter egg hunt. Boo.
