I will say the months of February and March were busy months for us because we had plenty of visitors. We were so happy to see friends and family so soon after moving here! Aunt Judy, Uncle Larry, Joe, Ann, and Connor were our first visitors but were only on Oahu for a matter of hours on their way back to the mainland after vacationing in Kauai. It was really nice to see them!! Our first overnight visitors were Shanna, Joshua, an Benjamin over the kids' spring break from school. We had such a good time having them here and exploring different things on the island. Next, we had family friends stopping through for a few hours also on St. Patrick's Day. The end of March also brought a visit from my brother, Sean and sister-in-law, Sara. We had a great time exploring with them too!! I have added a few pictures below from our visits we have had.
The kids got out of school on May 24th and both had a good year here. Aiden graduated Kindergarten(*tears) and got Student of the Quarter for the last quarter of the school year. Adelynn had some adjusting to do when we first got here and she started school but ended up making some good friends and having a great year! She also won a poster contest for her class on the life skill "commitment." We are so very proud of both of them!!!! I can't believe we now have 1st & 3rd graders!!! Crazy...and what's even more crazy is how fast summer seems to be flying by!! They start back to school on July 30th, I can't believe our "summer" is almost over.
Nick joined a canoe club in Lanikai and got to race on his very first race on Father's Day. He sat seat 4 and they ended up coming in 3rd...he did great and I am proud of him!! Click on the link below to watch the video...pretty cool :)
For myself, I am proud to say in April on the 7th I ran my first 10k. It has definitely lit a flame for me...one I never had before, and I am really starting to like to run more and more. I convinced the kids and Nick to run in the Honolulu 5K for Kids with me too, but they only agreed to run the 1 mile event. I am proud of them though, they ran the WHOLE way even though they wanted to give up!
Also, in April, we went to the Submarine Ball here at the Hilton Hawaiian Village and had a great time dancing the night away. :-) Oh how I love my handsome man in uniform!!
As I am writing this, I am realizing that April was a pretty busy month as well for us. Adelynn and Nick went to their very first Father-Daughter dance in April too. She was so beautiful and was SOOOO super excited that she got to go on a date and dance with her Daddy!
We have been trying to stay busy this summer with Aiden's soccer practices and going hiking, to the water park, to the beach and pool, and trying to keep them interested in reading and joined the summer reading program at the library.
They each have a week long day camp coming up in July, so they are looking forward to going to those also. Aiden is going to basketball camp and Adelynn is going to tennis camp.
That's a summary of what's been going on with us lately, hope everyone else is having a safe and fun summer as well!!
I will try to be better about updates...but as you all know, I am kinda horrible at it! LOL
