Davis Pitching

Davis got the chance to pitch for his team this year and really liked the power that he had to control the game. He would always ask how he did, although he was well aware of how he did he just wants us to tell him.

He only hit one batter all year but he bent down into the pitch, which is what Davis says is the secret to getting on base, let the pitcher hit you with the ball.

He is the smallest and youngest on the team, we moved him up so he could play with his friend Frank who is in the older league because his brother Jack is 11. Smart of Suanne to put the boys on the same team so she only has to go to one practice and one game.

The season is now over it was a good one. Coach Mason was a good coach, when Davis would get yelled at for not doing what he asked I would ask him why he wasn't listening and he said he couldn't understand his pegion talk. Davis also played 1st, 2nd, and the outfield.

Swimming lessons

My friend Suzie has been teaching Davis and Blake how to swim we go after school on Mondays and Wednesdays. They are really doing well and they love to go. Blake asks all the time if today is swimming lessons.

So this is why I haven't blogged in a while... Jarod was working late on week... then he was off Island for 9 days... then he was home 5 days... then he was off to Virginia for 6 days.
while he was gone we were so busy school, home work, baseball practice, baseball games, Mothers Day. Not to mention bathing the Twins and feeding everyone. Well I made it and I will post some more later.

Play Ball

It is so much fun to watch the Twins play. They will fight over toys and chase each other around. People are right when they tell you they intertain each other I just sit and watch it.

Ty took our picture at Keana Point... We had so much fun, the boys did so good. Our next hike will be Diamond Head , we really wanted to go with G & G Brown but it didn't work out so our next guest who ever you are get ready to go.

Keana Point

When Grandma, Grandpa, and Ty came to visit us we really wanted to do some hiking. My good friend told us about this hike, it was about 5 miles round trip we really excited to go.









This is Ty and Jarod, we could hear a barking noise so they went to check it out. After checking it out they discovered out that it was a blow hole in the rocks, when the waves came in the it made a barking sound.











Davis and Blake looking out into the Ocean. They are so cool!












We saw Monk Seals, we got up really close to them. They are getting warm on the rocks. They swim up and take breaks on the beaches and the rocks, then off again in the Ocean.

Pine Wood Derby

This is our first Pine Wood Derby we were so excited. Jarod, Davis, and Blake did an awesome police car. Jarod used a scale that once was used for weighing drugs, the paint job was a great one we were ready to race. So last Tuesday night we were so excited to go to the Chruch and try out the FAST police car.



When we got to the Church we weighed Davis' car on the scale and... it doesn't weigh enough (that drug dealer was ripping people off) so we improvised a little. I took out my gum we put it on the car with a quarter stuck to the top. Now I mentioned that this was our first car and apparently there are some secrets that Jarod was not aware of. Our car was not the fastest, or even in the top three which is good because I didn't know if you win it goes to the stake level. By the time the Twins have to do this Jarod will know all the secrets.

The Twins

This is a sun tent that my friend gave to me. We use it when we go to the beach and the park. It is awesome!

Blakes Baseball

There is nothing better at the end of the season then to get a trophy! Blake had his last T-Ball game on Saturday it only lasted 1 inning and then broke into a Easter Egg Hunt. After the Egg Hunt was over the team got together to hand out the trophy's, candy leis, and pictures. Blake is pictured with his three coaches the head coach is John and the phrase you hear him say the most is PAY ATTENTION!!! What do you expect they are 5 years old. Blake had a great time playing and he is really good can't wait until next year!

The Bleaks visit

The Bleaks came to visit us in March 09. We had so much fun with them. We went to Ko Olina, played on the beach, swam, and watched the sunset.
We barried all the kids in the sand, it is a lot easier to watch them that way.











Jarod and Mike giving the SHOCKER! (I know it looks like they are holding hands but their not).
We all had fun at the PCC. This is our favorite place there it is Samoa. In Samoa the ice cream is free but the spoon will cost you $5.00 my kids think that is so funny and still say it all the time. Jarod and Mike went golfing at Turtle Bay and they had so much fun. We had a great time with the Bleaks and can't wait for them to come back to visit us.
