June 2014

I'm going to try to at least put up pictures at the end of the month now. Since I'm horrible at putting anything on here. But I'm going to try. We'll see how it goes :)




 Brett was gone all of May. The boys were pretty happy the night that he came back. 


We spent a morning at the dog beach. Rika loves to be able to just play and the water is super calm so Austin can just swim. And Andrew got his first taste of the boogie board. :)


I love when I look into the backseat of the car and see this. Austin can be a wild and crazy one, but he has gotten pretty sweet with Andrew, especially when he's unhappy in the car. He used to tell me to make him stop screaming. One day he asked me if Andrew's seat could be right next to his. And now I get this all the time.

Lanikai Pillbox Hike
 Gorgeous views from this hike. And easy to make it a mountain and beach day all in one. It was beautiful. Sometimes I still can't believe we get the chance to live here, even though it's been three years.



 Austin really loves him. He loves that Andrew actually responds somewhat now, and always wants Andrew to "get" him, which usually turns into Austin somehow getting himself under Andrew so that Andrew will then start attacking him. Whatever works. I just love that they are trying to play.
Our neighbor showed up with the shirts and balls one day. And Austin wanted to match Andrew...

 Just hangin...

Father's Day Dinner
Had to attempt some kind of pulled pork for Brett since we haven't had it in a while.

 These two make me smile. Andrew is SO much happier not having to be in his carseat while in the stroller when we run. We can actually have a peaceful run and he isn't completely upset before we even start.

 Austin can finally jump and reach the bars by himself. He was pretty excited

I put Andrew down over on the opposite side of his playmat. When I came back in the room a couple of minutes later, but was over there. Up against the wall.

 Austin has been on and off on naps and this is what happens when he actually stays in his room, but decides not to sleep.



Just because it was a beautiful night at the temple...

Saturday morning at Nimitz beach. 


 This boy turned 6 months old! I can't believe how fast he has grown up and I am afraid of how much faster it has gone with two...what is going to happen when there are more...


Water pad and picnic lunch

Austin LOVES riding his bike now that we have one he can ride. He wants to do it all day. Every day.


 Had a family day at Bellows with the unit. Bouncy houses, playground, food, and beach :) What else do you need?


Again. Austin loves to match with Andrew.

Dinner at the hot pot. Reminded us of our time in China.
