HAPPY BIRTHDAY TWINS!

Every year it gets harder and harder to believe that I have kids this old, but yesterday, the twins turned 14!

Because we just got to Hawaii less than 2 weeks ago and money is SUPER tight, it wasn't a very exciting birthday for them, but we had fun:)

Kylee wanted a bodyboard to surf on when we go to the beach and Kierian wanted a skateboard because our new housing area has a skate park at the community center...so that's what they got.

We went across the street and went bowling then came back to the hotel and had cake. It was fun:) Here's some pics.

We're in HAWAII!

I can't tell you how many times people have said, "Oh you're so lucky!" or "I wish I could go with you!" when we would tell them we were moving to Hawaii. After one week here I can honestly say they were right to be jealous! (wink wink)

We don't have a house yet and since last week was a short work week for the military (due to Veterans Day) Dave hasn't had to officially report to work yet, so we have just been cruising around the island checking out our new surroundings and seeing some of the sights.

We visited the USS Arizona Memorial. It was a very somber but beautiful experience.

We have also had the chance to visit the North Shore a couple of times. The first time we went to Hale'iwa beach and the next Waimea Bay. I've never had so much sand in so many places it SHOULDN'T be! YIKES! But we had a lot of fun playing in the waves and Kylee shared the new body-surfing board she got for her birthday.

We are hoping to be in a house here on post sometime next week. As much fun as this "vacation" has been, we are ready to find a place to call home.

Temporarily Delayed

Please bear with me folks as we complete our move to Hawaii.

The last few weeks have been kinda crazy and weird. We are currently what you would call "homeless" I guess. I'm sitting in a hotel room in Los Angeles right now, getting ready to fly to Hawaii where we will live for the next 3 years at least.

We don't have a house there yet, but we're hoping to get one on the Army base within a few weeks.

As soon as we get settled a bit in the hotel, I will try to figure out how to upload pictures from our camera and give you all a new update!
