Great news for us!

This week, Mike and I got asked by my cousin Jaime to be Daelin's Godparents! We are so honored. Then, Mike got asked by my sister to be Isla's Godfather! (I am not because I am Kainoa's Godmother. ).

Some other exciting news...Mike finally found out he can take leave so we can finally go home to Kauai! Woohoo! I have been waiting SO long for this. It feels like I haven't been home in forever... well 2 years away from Kauai definitely seems like forever! I will finally get to meet my brother's baby, Cassies baby, and Jaime's new one. I will finally get to eat Hamura saimin again and have a sandwich at the Deli and Bread, and also saimin at McDonalds. I will finally get to see my friend Cathy and all my family who I miss sooo much! We are also finally going to get Shane baptized, along with Daelin. My brother Justin and cousin Jaime will be his Godparents. (Since Janell and Kevin are Makennas). We are planning the Baptism's on Easter Sunday.
We will be on Kauai March 28 - April 13. Makenna has her spring break from the 30th so she will only miss about a week of school. I am sooo excited!!!

Happy Monday...

Hope everyone had a nice weekend! We had a good one. Saturday night, all our friends from Tucson who moved here got together for a pot luck dinner. It was a good time. There are a lot of us who moved from Tucson to Valdosta so we've known them for a while. I made (auntie Bulee's) Spam Fried Rice. I was a little worried that no one would eat it because there was spam in it, but practically the whole bowl went! Makenna loved it too- I think she had 5 helpings herself. Yesterday, my friend Bridget and I took Makenna and her daughter to see the ballet Cinderella. I wasn't sure how Makenna would do but she was very interested and had a great time.

Here's a funny video of Shane eating Saimin that Kevin took

My new Niece!

Isla (pronounced eye-la) Keani Hughes! born on Jan 19. I can't wait to meet her! Hopefully soon! She sorta reminds me of how Makenna looked when she was born.


Here are a few random pics Kevin took while we were at the park:











Not much else going around here. Been watching American Idol and my favorite so far is Kai Kalama!

HI

Sorry for the lack of updates....no excuses.

Im soo glad it is a 3 day weekend because I feel like I haven't really seen Mike all that much. We drove to Jacksonville, FL for the day. It was nice to get out of GA for a little while. I took the kids to a friends birthday party in Jax for a couple hours, while Mike took Kevin out to go look at some cars. The kids had a blast, it was a friend of theirs who lives here but decided to have her birthday party in FL at a place called Tunnelz and Tumblez. After the party we went to the Mall and did a little shopping, then drove back to GA.











We found out our friend Tony L. is getting married next month and we are so excited. The wedding is gonna be near Tallahassee, about 3 hours from us, but unfortunately Mike will be on a TDY during the wedding weekend so it will just be me and Kevin and the kids going to the wedding. So that is one thing I am looking forward to.

We are still hoping to go back to Kauai very soon. Its coming up to 2 years since I've been back and thats the longest I've ever been away from home, so I am sooo ready.

Weekend...

I had a fun night with some friends this past Saturday, a girls night while Mike and Kevin watched the kids and football in the bedroom. I made chocolate fondue and we played some games. It was a blast.



On Sunday Makenna and I went to a friend's birthday party and we had a good time. Mike and Kevin and Shane stayed home and watched football, and sad to say the Chargers are out of the Playoffs. Sorry Mike!

Kevin got us a Wii for our Christmas present a couple days ago - and its been sooo much fun! The kids are into it too. We have been playing with it a lot.


Bowling on the WII


Kids loved watching the guys "bowl"

Slow Year so far....

I haven't posted much because we haven't really done much. Makenna did go back to school today. Other than that, we have just been hanging around at home. We are still trying to figure out when we are going home to Kauai. Living with Kevin has been good, we all get along great! Ill post more when i can think of what to write next!
