Honnolulu, HI

Here we are swiming at Wakiki Beach, which our hotel was only two blocks from, at the Poloneasion Cultural Center (spelling?) and at the LDS Temple. We had a fun day at the center with a tour to the temple grounds. The temple was under construction, that is why it is not as white as you normally see it. The dancing and luai was amazing, which Jayde spelt through. Jordan got to try his hand at hunting they way they use to and won a cool handmade bandana and he and I got tatoos.

We got to go on a cano ride and learn about the different cultures.

Basement Progress

Odd and end photos of the basement's work. Notice the one photo that says, "Dad and Jayde built this wall". He said he would include her on the building because that day she did not try to put anything in her mouth, so that was helping.

Tom and Jordan's Birthdays

Tom and Jordan had their birthdays in February and March. Tom got waiters and boots for fly fishing and Jordan got a guitar.

Jayde Washing Dishes

Jayde loves to help wash her bottles. She even helps me clean-up with a rag once we are done. There usually is a lot of water, so it is all very needed.

Her other favorite thing is to sit in our front window looking outside. We moved our coffee table to the window and a chair to she can climb up and down when she wants to look outside.

Just a family update...

I appologize, it has been awhile since I have wrote and updated our blog. Things have been hecktic, as everyone, but man we have made some progress on our home and in life. Tom has been gone to many trainings for weeks on end, but that is finally all complete. We have been busy finishing the basement (mudding now), which has been a huge job. Once we are complete the entire basement will be done. Yeah!

We have been spending our time getting ready for our big vacation to Hawaii! We are all way excited! Jayde is getting so big and saying so many things now. She knows all her body parts and many animal sounds, plus some extras. I bet you did not know that the sun actually makes a very scary sound. We did not know this until the other night. Interesting! Her hair is finally long enough in the back to make pig tails. Way cute!

Jordan only has a few more weeks of school left and cannot wait til summer vacation. Many fun things planned for him this summer, on both sides. Here are some odd and end photos of everyone!

Basement Work Beginning

We got sheet rock delivered for the whole basement. This is what Tom use to do, run the truck and crane. There was only two people that showed-up on the truck so he had to go to work. He does not miss that job, although he was very strong back then, just kidding he still is strong. Right now he is almost done sheet rocking the one bedroom. We are getting very excited!
