These pictures were taken in August but I think they are cute (and Austin doesn't get very many postings of just him). I also want to remind people that this is a form of journally for me so that I won't forget events or daily(weekly/monthly) happenings.
Austin makes an excellent sumo wrastler, he loves to wrastle anyone and anything bigger than him.
Adam needed to be a sumo wrestling pirate. He doesn't have his sword.
Conrad loves to play with his cousins and they love to play with him, sometimes that is the only way I can get them in the car--"do you want to see Con?" and they go running to the car.
Austin is just too cute in this picture.
Adam loved dressing up like a pirate and did so for many days until the hat, eye-patch, sash, and sword (he prefered one sword over another) disappeared. He might be a pirate for Halloween, we have not decided yet. And anybody who wants to come, we are going to Disneyland for Halloween.
Conrad had to get in on the pirate action and Beebe likes to dress like her baby, so she has on a sash too.
This is how we spent College Football Saturday. The BYU game was on the internet, so Bryan and Tyler had their laptops set up for listening and checking stats. Dad was working (it just makes for a more nerdy picture with the 3 laptops and Matt on some electronic device.
Kevin Durr is great to come over and play with the boys. He pushed them around in the diaper box for hours. And when he would rest, Adam would ask in his sweetest voice, "choo-choo Kevin." How could he say no to him? Yes, Conrad is in the box and Adam is helping to push the train.
I guess this is why I don't really get that nervous about Austin having Little People in his mouth.
Austi has a bigger belly than I did and he doesn't have a ruffley diaper cover.
This is the back of Ann's head and Beebe is holding me up (she is 4 years old and I am maybe 6-9 months old).
This is Waimea Canyon, the Grand Canyon of Hawaii. Pictures do not do the canyon justice. It was a beautiful start to our vacation.
There are wild chickens EVERYWHERE! I had to get a picture (and this was our first official day there) , this mother her and her chick were easy to take a picture of. They let me close (but not too close) but the rooster that was with them would have nothing to so with me. On our last day when we were eating lunch at Spouting Horn (we did NOT have our camera with us and we were too lazy to walk back to the car) the roosters were flocking around us trying to get our burritos, I could have taken many roosters photos that time.
I can't remember what falls this are but you can see them behind us, aren't we cute?
Here we are with a river behind us (again I can't remember the name of the river).
There are waterfalls behind us here and there was a man in the parking lot selling things right near a "No Vendors" sign. He had lots of interesting facts, gave me the flower in my hair and gave Bryan a wierd fruit to try (Bryan told me I wouldn't like it so I didn't try it).
I think this is Ponihani State Beach. You go on a 5 mile dirt road and there were a few other cars along this long beach. It was interesting to see such a beautiful beach with not many people on it. This is the West side of the island, which is hotter and drier. The cliffs are the Napali coast and on our next trip we will boat along it.
This is Ke'e Beach, the other side of the Napali coastline. The snorkling is great here but when we went to snorkle it was quite chilly and rainy, so we stayed a little while and then hit a few more beaches on the way home.
Here we are on Ke'e Beach, I love how I look in Bryan's fishing hat. It was really hard to take pictures of just us, normally the boys are the focus of our photos and we are just extra, this is why there are very few photos (I think).
This is Hanalee and if you enlarge the photo and look through the fog you can see 4 waterfalls.
This is the lighthouse in Princeville, it was closed when we were there and it wasn't that big of a priority to go back later. The signs read that whales, seals and dolphins can be seen here in the winter months.
This is the tunnel of trees. I took this as we were driving through, and I am pretty surprised that it turned out this good, Bryan is a moderately fast driver.
