Thanksgiving in Oahu!

Jason and I sent the kids to TX to stay with grandparents while we surfed it up in Oahu. I think we covered everything there was to do on Oahu: Pearl Harbor, Pacific Air Museum, North Shore, Waikiki Aquarium, Hanauma Bay snorkeling, Kaneohe Bay, Wamei Valley Botanical Gardens, Dinner cruise, Dole Plantation, Polynesian Culture Center,  full moon at Bellows, and countless attempts at surfing, otherwise translated into trying to drown myself.

Happy Halloween!

I have no pictures to post for Halloween this year, I'm so upset! My camera was on the wrong setting and I didn't realize it until I went to download the pictures. Rachel dressed up as Belle and Ethan was Dracula. We trick or treated around the base and passed out plenty of candy after we were finished trick or treating.

Pumpkin Carving

Our neighbors hosted a wonderful pumpkin carving party. Ethan and Rachel really got into carving their pumpkins this year. They even cleaned out all the seeds, something I just can't do, it grosses me out.

CHEER TIME!

Rachel had a blast today at a cheer camp hosted by the Biloxi High School cheerleaders.  She learned a few chants and a cute little dance routine.  She worked really hard at school to earn good behavior all week and got to pick her reward.  She has been wanting a pair of twinkle toes for a long time and she finally got them, perfect timing.  She twinkled her little toes off today at cheer camp! GO TWINKLE TOES!

Ethan's Baptism

Ethan decided it was time to make the next step in his salvation!  He asked Ms. Ashley to baptize him, because Mrs. Jessica has a baby in her tummy and she might not be too comfortable bending down.  The weather was perfect and Ethan waited patiently for his name to be called, he was the last one on the list. Satan beware, Ethan's a deep thinker and it might be in your best interest to think twice before messing with him :-)
We are so proud and blessed!

Jiu Jitsu Yellow Belt Test

Ethan and Rachel have been practicing Jiu Jitsu and loving it.  They've worked really hard over the past few months and this morning their hard work payed off.  They passed their test and both advanced to yellow belts.  They are so excited!
