New Car

my Toyota Yaris has been a great car for me for the last 4 years but I felt like it was time for something a little bit different. After a very LONG month of looking i found this car...a 2010 Kia Sportage. I really love it and have decided to name her cecilia.

New Babies

in the last two months i have gotten a new niece and nephew. They sure are cute kids and I love them lots. I've already started the spoiling.

The Rest of Hawaii

So i realize this is old by now but just wanted to post some more pictures of my other days i was in Hawaii...

Doing Tai Chi with some neighor lady. For the record i was not teaching this class for some reason she wanted me to face all of them...I'm not sure why.

A really cool tree on our hike to the waterfalls

First time surfing. It was amazing

I maybe should have paid attention to this sign. Here at this spot a wave came and slammed me into the ocean ground cracking my rib and tearing a muscle in my shoulder. Oops...

Hawaii Trip: Day 3

ON the third day i again got up early to go running then we headed out to a beach to go snorkeling. I was much better at snorkeling this day I even started to learn how to dive. By the beach there was a grove of trees that had huge vines and things growing from them. We spent alot of time climbing them untill we got yelled at. After snorkeling we went to lunch and I had AMAZING fish and chips.We then went to another beach and just relaxed.

Hawaii Trip: Day 2

On Day two I woke up early and went for a run on the beach then we went to a beach and went snorkeling. On the way back we took a crazy road that was way narrow and had crazy sharp turns. We then went back to the condo and relaxed and then later that night watched the sunset from the ocean at an amazing beach. We then went to dinner and I picked up my Cousin David that is stationed in the islan Oahu. The Pictures are posted backwards in order.

Delayed Easter weekend

On the actual Easter weekend a lot of the family ended up with strep throat. So we celebrated a week later. We all piled in our cars and went up to the river. We did the traditional rolling/throwing of the Easter Eggs and also easter egg hunt. We also shot the new gun dad bought. It turned out to be quite the easter saturday.
