William's book to Arrabella

William wrote a book for his sister while we were in Kauai last month. He is a little smarty pants and knows all the different parts of a book, such as the tittle page, author, illustrator, text, and glossary. The book is about hard working trains that had a busy day. Williams loves his little sister.

 In this picture William is finishing up the glossary.

The cover.

 

 

As you may be able to decipher this page says "today the trains were busy working".



"Here comes James, puff, puff"

First Tooth

Baby Arrabella's first tooth has officially cut through, it is still just a small line but we are excited and wanted to share. We figured it was on the way because of the extra fussies lately. She is so precious! Lovely little angel Arrabella.

 

 

Arrabella is 7 Months!

Arrabella turned 7 months old today! The sticker did not have a chance from the start and slowly but surely ended up crumbled up and even in her mouth for a second. 

 



Looking mischievous.

Maui Ocean Center

We recently visited the Maui Ocean Center for some family fun! We got to see all kinds of beautiful and interesting marine life.

Here we are in the aquarium tunnel. It was neat to see all the sharks, fish, and rays swim overhead.

The Humuhumunukunukuapua'a or Humuhumu for short is the beautiful state fish of Hawaii.

 



 

 

Perhaps the strangest fish of the day was this frogfish.
Wow!

 



 

We got to watch the shark feeding and learn about the aquarium and marine life.  William is the one with the red shirt.

 

Whale Day

World whale day was this past February 15th. We headed to the Maui Whale festival in Kihei to celebrate. It was a very hot day in Kihei and reminded us how much we love the weather upcountry. Due to the heat we stayed for only a brief period. They had live music, crafts, art, and food, it was fun!

William is looking more and more like a big kid! 

 

 William got to play inside a very large beach ball at the festival.

 

T-ball Trophy

Here is a picture of William standing proud with his t-ball trophy.

Valentines Day 2014

We had a really fun Valentines Day this past month. We went on a sunset whale watching boat ride with music. It was such a blast, everyone on the boat was feeling the love.  Sunset, music, whales, and the loves of my life, it does not get better than this!
