Happy Birthday Lucas!

Keaton's best buddy Lucas had a birthday last week, and of course we were there to help him celebrate! His party was at MY GYM in Kailua. Both of my boys played and jumped and yelled and wrestled and ran and bounced and swung and threw and hit and yelled and ate cake and laughed and laughed and laughed for about 3 solid hours and then slept GREAT that night. I think that constitutes one awesome party!

3 beachy observations

Never ceases to amaze me: 

1) the beauty of the ocean in Hawaii
2) the power of the sun (we all are pink tonight after 2 hours in the sun, despite my best efforts)
3) the amount of sand we take home with us!

Will run for donuts

Thursdays are often my "off day" from the gym, but I FORCED myself to get up this morning and finish my time on the treadmill because I knew where we were going... 
yes, he has a fat lip right now. Long story. He fell off the bed during his quiet time and bit all the way through his lip - ouch! (Okay, maybe it wasn't such a long story)

 I love donuts. Almost as much as I love ice cream
Maybe more? 
Why don't they make donut flavored ice cream? How bout it, science? (that was for you, Meagan)

A few months ago, Scott told me about these donuts that his coworker brought in to the office from Regal Bakery. My mouth was literally watering as he described the the creative and unusual flavor combinations and toppings. I've been wanting to go there ever since, but its in such a strange part of town that we hardly ever go, so I've been waiting and waiting...

FINALLY this week, Scott's check engine came on, so he had to take his car into the KIA dealership. I met him there, so I could take him to work after he dropped off his car.
Guess what just happens to be right around the corner? 
 Yeah, baby.

Check out some of these flavors!
The vanilla crunch has Frosted Flakes on top!
The Muddy ones are covered in crushed OREOS!
But here's what I've been waiting for...
Maple BACON donut!

Keaton picked a cake donut with chocolate icing and chocolate chips on top.
Mark thoroughly enjoyed his vanilla donut with sprinkles!
Daddy picked the flavor of the month - Lemon Crumb!
And me with my Maple Bacon delight. Oh, so good.
You know how I know that it was worth every calorie? I'm still thinking about it HOURS later!

I can't wait to take my dad to this place the next time he's in Hawaii. He's who I have to thank for my hopeless sweet tooth. Don't worry Dad, we'll run first! :-)

A lot to ask...

Yes, I know it is a lot to ask for them to be playing quietly in their room and not always be up to something...

That would be every single book we own in that crib...

9 years!

Happy 9th Anniversary, Scott Anderson! 
I love you and I can't imagine a richer, more full life than the one we have together.

a little milestone


Last night, while Scott and I were watching the Olympics, Keaton comes in and says, "Look what I did!" I couldn't believe it! He wrote his name! I know, this might not seem like a big deal. A lot of 4 year olds that can write their name. But, Keaton has really been behind the curve in the fine motor department, and since he does not go to preschool, he's just never really been challenged in this area. I've been working with him in the mornings on some fine motor exercises. We had only THIS WEEK begun practicing tracing the letter "K." Literally one month ago he was still fisting his crayons! Obviously, we've still got some practicing to do, but I'm so proud that he decided to try writing his whole name all by himself with no prompting from me. Such a big boy, my KRay!

A new pet

Clemmie wasn't even out the door yet when Keaton asked if we could get a fish. 
Why not?

Enter: Shelley, the fish
