OcEaN EXpediTion!!!!!

Another adventure we did while my mom was visiting was going out on a boat and went around a little island and then came back. The best part about this little "expedition" was the boat ride it got pretty rough and on the front of the boat it was kinda like a roller coaster ride! (as close as your gonna get in Hawaii anyways!!)

My mom, Branson and Me!!! It was really beautiful to see Hawaii from a different perspective!

FaMilY Pic's at BeaCh

Scott and I got toegether with some good friends and decided that we wanted to take some family pics at the beach for our chirstmas cards so we took each other's family pics and they turned out really good!!! I was so excited!

Branson, i think, was trying to impersonate one his many favorite superheroes!!!

I took this picture and it turned out AMAZING!!!

I am going to send out Christmas cards for the first time EVER! SO, if ya want one give me your address in the comment section!!!!

When My mom came out to visit we went to Kualoa Farms and we went on a Jungle Expedition and an ocean voyage and theses are the pics from our Jungle Expedition!! It was beautiful!!!!

My mom thinks this should be our christmas card pic alothough I think Scott and I are leaning towards one on the beach!!!!!! If we are gonna be stuck on this rock might as well be proud of it!! hahahah

For any LOST fans out there the pond in the pics is where the "LOST Submarine" scenes were filmed!

This is just.........AMAZING.

AtLanTis UndeR the SeA

One of the best things about living in Hawaii is the fact the visitors can kill 2 birds with one stone! Not only do they get to visit the coolest family ( myself and the boys :) !) but its also a good vacation destination!! My mom came out and took advantage of such a situation! While she was here we went on the Atlantis, which is a submarine with windows ! Genius!! (Why didn't the Navy think of it?!) anyways, they drive? (im not sure what the right term is) around some old reefs/wreckage around Hawaii including a plane wreck, sunken ship and a couple other reefs and it was beautiful!!! The fish were amazing! The Pics are kinda fuzzy because they are being taken through a little window about 100 ft under the ocean!

My Mom and I getting ready to load the ship that will take us to the submarine, Man I love this Lady!!!!!!

The pic above is the bow of the sunken ship!!!

This is the plane wreck and i tried to get the whole plane in it but it wasn't happening! Dang!

This is Scott and I in the Sub about 130 ft deep and we look blue because When you so deep it makes everything look blue ( There is a more scientific reason but.....I forgot.....sorry:)!)

We always welcome visitors so anyways who wants to see Hawaii just let us know!!!!!

CrAsh and BurN!

Well.......Having 2 little boys.........maybe daredevils.... has its challenges. The biggest one being....safety, they frequently jump of couches, chairs and have moved up to the second step, well for branson like the fourth or fifth....and I wonder if at some point if I should intervene..but boys will be boys right?????

New York CiTy

Once upon a time......we lived in New York........then..... moved as far away as we could and still live in America which is.....Hawaii. Along the way we made a few pit stops! The picture with all of the heavy machinery is ground zero in New York City. The picture with just Branson is on top of a really tall building (i can't remeber) I didn't go on that excursion........Scott, Momma Romma (scotts mom) and the boys went to the top of this building and I journyed out on my own to shop!!! (after all i was in New York City!) I did get lost and my cell phone died, so I stopped at a less then reputable store and bought a cell phone charger I made friends with a man from Egypt while it was charging! It was an adventure all in its own! The picture with Scott and I..... I have no idea what we are stading in front of!! hahaha I think the thing I love most about the city is haggling for my knock off sunglasses and purses!!!

HiKiNg in HaWaii

We live in one of the most beautiful states in the country so why not explore it???? We are going on weekly hikes now and are seeing some of the hidden beauty that Hawaii has to offer! AmaZing! This is known as the water-fall hike but as you can see from the pic the water fall is scarce. It is the dry season but soon the rain will pick up and the water fall will be much larger!

Eli in his Easter best!!!

I think this pic is just so stinkin cute!!!! I feel so blessed to have the most handsome little boys !!!

Happy Late Easter!!!!!

I know easter was a little while ago but there Pics are just to cute to pass up!!! I have to catch ya'll up on the last 6 months!!!

This is at Bellows beach and Eli was trying to eat a cookie with sand on it and was getting frustrated that is was so crunchy!!!

Beautiful Bellows beach!!!!!

Holy smokes!!!! Well after months of going off the blogging radar I have decided its time to start again!!!!!!! I promise i won't wait nearly as long to post the next one!! Life in Hawaii has been great in many ways but has also been the hardest as well. Scott is gone alot and so the boys and i are left exploring by ourselves but we have made some great friends that have helped us through some of the longer deployments!!!

This is a video at bellows beach in Hawaii and I personally think this is the most beautiful beach on the island! This was taken almost 5 months ago but Branson still loves to boogie board and play in the ocean!!! The other kids in the video live on the same street as us and I have become friends with all the moms!!!
