Aloha from Hawaii!

November 15th, 2011 1 comment

Our trip to Hawaii was fantastic!

We stayed at the same place we were at the last time – Kaanapali Alii – a great little area on the west side of Maui.

The days were spent in and/or near water. We experienced a bit more rain than last time – but rain in Hawaii is not like it is here in Vancouver … plus you can wear shorts. The rain was more up in the mountains and created a lot of amazing rainbows!

While snorkeling, we encountered a lot of fish, coral, a few sea turtles and even a reef shark!

We visited a lot of our favourite places we found last time, and discovered a bunch of new places as well.

Hawaii has definitely been our favourite vacation spot – everyone was already asking when we’re going back … even before we left.

Cody spent his vacation with Ah-Ma and Ah-Kong. He was quite happy to see everyone again and get his own Hawaiian leash/collar to show off to the neighbourhood pooches.

Samantha’s 7!

September 26th, 2011 1 comment

Well, yes, Samantha has turned 7!

She continues to grow and develop into a very cute and adventurous little girl. She had a fantastic birthday which coresponds nicely with the start of school – a great way to make a good first impression on teachers and classmates is coming to class with a load of home-made cupcakes!

Check out some of the photos of the festivities (which lasted more than a day…)

Boys’ Birthday

February 17th, 2011 1 comment

It’s been a week or so since the big party for the boys!

Chris turned 11!  And Alex turned 8!

The boys decided to hold a joint party at Planet Laser in Richmond.  It was a blast and I’m sure we’ll be getting requests for the venue next year.

FYI – The nicknames for the kids on the scoreboard:

  • Chris = “Hawk”
  • Alex = “Eagle”
  • Sam = “Coco”
  • Daddy = “Chckn8r”
