Cardinals Baseball

Blake did really good at baseball this year. He is the loudest cheerleader in the dugout.

He is getting really good at hitting the ball. He doesn't swing hard it drives us crazy, the kid would hit it so far if he would just SWING!

He loves to run the bases! He is fast and watches the ball really good. He had so much fun with his dad as his coach this year.

Academic Award

Blake received an academic award at school this year. He works hard at school, he is smart and can figure out his homework all by himself. He writes neat and cares about his work. He can concentrate when working. He is a great reader. He counts, spells, and practices saying his "R" words all the time. We are so proud of you Blake and we love you!

Go Paniolos!

Baseball has once again started. Davis has some good coaches this year! I am really excited that he can understand them. Last season he had a hard time understanding some of the "pidgen talk". Davis has been starting at 3rd  base for the first two innings, then he moves to Pitcher, and then 1st base. He is having a great time and making some good plays. It really stresses me out to watch him pitch but he has confidence and is doing great!

Powder Sugar!!!

I was putting a Little Leauge patch on Blakes new baseball uniform . When I looked down and this is what I saw. Little Clay, with the powder sugar dumping it out!

Don't think Cache was innocent, he was right in the middle of it too!    So, what do you do??? I took away the bag of sugar and grabbed the camera.

Jarod, Davis, Landon, and Tyler went all the way up to the World War 2 bunkers. They said it was really cool.

Half way up to the Light House!

Starting our hike to the Light House!

Merry Christmas!

We spent the day at the Ko' Olina with The Wells. We were cold it was only 79. The Wells thought that we were nuts! It rained on us. The waves were huge 15-20 ft faces. We all got to see the Sea Turtles, but we couldn't feed them because all the sea weed washed away in the swell. We had a great time at the beach on Christmas day!

Emma... Oh Emma, so cute!

Landon trying to give the shaka! Not so much...

Christmas at Ko' Olina

Adison, is a jolly ole sole. Drinking a Coke and giving the shaka!

That's our Blake!

Tonight Blake was sitting at the computer, playing a game. When we heard a very LOUD burp. Now we have told him that he can't just let them out. He needs to try to either hold them in or cover his mouth. When we heard this burp, just having watched Elf the movie, I said "did you hear that?" Jarod yelled "BLAKE." Blake said "sorry, I tried to cover it up with my shirt, but it almost blew my shirt off!"

Ouch!

Yesterday was our 12 Anniversary, so we spent the day at  Paradise Cove at the Ko Olina Resort. The Nowickis came with us. They have 3 kids;  Madelyn, Alex, and Ella. The kids had the best time. They crawled on rocks, caught hermit crabs, picked seaweed and fed it to the Sea Turtles. There were 4 turtles swimming in the lagoon with them. We were there for about 5 hours when Davis was climbing a tree above the water and rocks. I didn't see it happen, he just came up to me holding his right side in a lot of pain and said "mom I hurt myself".  I am so glad that he only got scrapes and bruises. He is so lucky that he didn't hurt his head. He ruined his board shorts, they were shredded on the butt. After he got hurt we packed up and went home.

It was the best Anniversary (except for Davis getting hurt), the beach was perfect. It was a warm day here in paradise. Being together as a family is what it is all about!
