The Kindergartener and The Teacher

First day of Kindergarten. 

We can only dress her cute on Aloha Fridays.  Otherwise, it's the coed black school uniform tee.  Don't judge me on her first day outfit.

Haircut and Splashpad

Mr. Finn's first haricut (and maybe last).

At the Splashpad on Schofield Barracks. 



PIRATES

Chartin’ the Seven Seas at a recent pirate encounter for some fellow mates’ birthdays (they be twins). First mate Finn gearin’ up for some pilagin’ on the beach. 

However, though he be fiercely attir'd, First mate Finn be yellow-bellied at the helm.  His one-eyed, black-toothed sister, on the other hook, be afightin' and aplunderin’ with bravery.
.


Despite his chicken livery at the Battle of Temple Beach, First Mate Finn used his dashing good looks and deviously moustached smile to weasel himself to the promotion of Cap’n. 

From afar, however, Cap’n Finn’s wise kin be watchin’ him with suspicion and be not 'afooled.

With one swift move, Cap’n Finn be made to walk the plank and Kenz took the ship's helm as it's rightful Cap'n.  “ARRRRRRRR,” she growled, “this be what I deserve!  Yo ho, Yo ho, where be my treasure?”

And so it be, Finn, having survived the plank, be left to loot for himself, with only his fading moustache and eye patch to hide his shame.

 

That be the end.

The Iolani Palace gate seal.

Across the street from Aliiolani Hale.  I love how Finn is pointing in the same direction as King Kamehameha in the background.

At a park just south of the State Capitol.  These are known as ‘The Tubers’.

An exact replica of the Liberty Bell on the State Capitol grounds.

Statue of Queen Liliuokalani-State Capitol.  She was the last monarch and only queen regnant of the Kingdom of Hawaii.

2012 Easter

EASTER 2012

After church, we made a stop to the Wahiawa Botanical Gardens for some quick Easter pics. KK was sure to slather (and re-slather) on a generous amount of her new glitter princess lip gloss for EACH picture.

(The boy looks a little out of it in most of the pics as we had to so rudely interrupt his slumbers during each shoot)

Trolley ride on Easter Eve after some tasty shave ice. I wish we were riding it to somewhere nostalgic, but our destination was Home Depot.

Train ride.

Spinny ride with Dad.

Spinny ride with Mom.

Spinny ride with Finn...that would have been a cool picture.

Getting an Easter Bunny painted on her arm. No, she is not it pain.
