Mr. Fixit and grass

Olsen is ready to be my fix-it man. Good thing because his dad is getting kind of old (j/k Byron, we love you)

Very serious work
The grass is slowly growing, but it's getting there.  I just reseeded some bare spot yesterday.  Hopefully we can get a swing set next month

Hilton for the day.

Last week I had Rachel and Willie's two youngest girls and made a day at the Hilton.  Here are the million and one of us riding the train (three times), riding the boats (four times), watching the dolphins and eating treats.  It was some good times and the kids were TIRED afterward.  Now I'm too tired to write anymore, but we are all happy and good here in Hawaii.

Bubble bath

I don't know way, but it has taken me this long to buy bubble bath for the kids. It's not like I'm against it or anything, just never thought of it. Boy, do the kids LOVE it.  

We saw Kong Fu Panda on Friday and Olsen is now a crazy kong fu master.  During the movie he had to stand in the aisle and kick and punch with the panda.  Yeah, like my kid needs anymore help to be a crazy boy.  Today he was asking for the bear "pow" (doing the kong fu hand motions) movie today.  Sorry kid, not for 4 to 6 months when it comes out on DVD.

Throne of his own

The other day I was shopping at Costco and as you all know, they pack your food in big boxes.  Well this one is a snickers box that is shaped like a mini little sofa.  Olsen placed it on the coffee table, put a pillow in it and then laid his blanket over.  A perfect little throne for a three year old to watch tv on.

He also liked to cuddle on it. 

Charlie

Friday Charlie and his crew came over to put in a new sprinkler system for our front lawn. Olsen couldn't have been happier. He was following his every foot step. It was pretty cute. He he is helping out with is own shovel.  Please note is working boots too.....  The kid is too cute sometimes.  :)

looking a little better

There has been a nice growth spirt in the last 4 days. I guess the fertilizer really did work. It still is taking forever, but I'm starting to the light (or green) at the end of the tunnel


For some reason this corner has always grown fast. I wish the rest of the lawn looked like this............

Still no grass

As you can tell by these pictures, the grass is taking its gay ole' time growing. I just fertilized it last week, so hopefully that will help. It will be so nice to have a back yard for the kids to go play in.

About a girl

My pretty girl.  Now when taking a bath she likes to lay down on her back and kick her feet.  The water gets everywhere, but that's okay, I'm just glad she love the water.


Here she is starting to lay back
Almost there
Ahhhhh
While shopping at Ross a couple of months ago I found some cute red 'Mary Jane's' for Gabriella.  She looks so cute wearing them that I had to take a couple pictures of her before church this Sunday.

Please hair, grow...........

Hydro therapy

The other day the kids had fun playing with the hose. I also pulled out our old sandbox turtle and turned it into a pool. One day when we have grass in the back (it is NOT growing and I'm getting mad) will be playing in the backyard. Till then, the driveway will have to do.

Olsen liked to get a running start to jump in the pool
I'm sorry, but that has got to hurt the knees
Gabriella woke up and Olsen had fun playing "tag" with her



And of corse, they got naked.  I don't know if you can tell, but Gabriella is going to be my brown baby.
