Kailua Beach Park

Chandler's Spring Break week-
We haven't been up to much this week but we did manage to find another beautiful beach here on the island. This is by far the most gorgeous spot on the island. It is Kailua beach located on the windward side. Hence the name it was WINDY! But good for the kite boarders! It was fun to watch many different water sports going on here!

Trying to hold my hat on!

My SEXY husband!
This beach reminded me of our honeymoon. Just white sandy beach with crystal clear warm water!


YUP! I still find myself saying "This is my home?! Really? ...Ah!.... I sure love it!"


This video is kinda cool- It gives you an idea of what Kite boarding is. I will do this someday. It is just very expensive! So fascinating to watch! I was in heaven...I wanted to be out there doing it so bad since it is similar to wake boarding and I haven't even done that in A LONG TIME! In the video this guy is in total control of himself as he is being pulled by the wind. And he glides ever so gently out of the water- So fun!

3D

Chandler and I went to go see Alice In Wonderland a few nights ago! It was a fun date night! The 3D is what made the movie so fun! I have never seen Alice In Wonderland in my life- ever. Its a weird movie but it kept my attention! It had awesome special affects. The things they can do now-a-days with movies is just beyond me! lookin stylish~

GuEsS wHaT?

Chandler is playing on the GOLF TEAM now at Chaminade! Done with basketball and on with the next sport! He cracks me up! tThis guy can do anything! It doesnt surprise me at all that the head A.D. of Chaminade has invited him to play with the Golf team. Chandler's basketball coaches gave him the OK to play!

He will start practice with the team this Monday. So he will have Bball at 8am and Golf practice at 3pm. He is going Golfing tomorrow with a friend that lives here on the island. He is trying to get all the golf in that he can before the matches start! We went to Sports Authority yesterday and he hit some balls in the simulater and then practiced some putting!

And I'm just critiquing him on his putts ;) and talking on the phone to my dad!
Im happy for him that he can play anything and everything he wants and have fun with it while we are out here! Im so excited to be able to spectate him now on the course as well!

Bored..at din din

So I guess this is what we do sense we don't have children to photograph! Chandler and I went out to dinner to Outback Steakhouse and we were playin with the camera and our cell camera's!
Got to do something funny to occupy each other when we are hungry and waiting for our food!!!

Can I just say though-
My husband is so DANG haNDsOMe! He is just so stinkin Cute and the biggest SWEETHEART!
We had a fun date night!

ZoooOOooo!

I had a problem uploading on this post

Last week Chandler and I went to the Honolulu zoo! We had been wanting to go for a while now. It was a fun lil day date for a couple bucks!

Here I am with the HUGE tortoises'
I havent ever seen them this big before- poor things

And Chandler with them!

Now these were my favorite! I could watch them all day long. I was just fascinated...
Honolulu Zoo is in the middle of building a really big new play pin for them to roam in with pools and acres of lush sand and grass!

We thought these trees were so cool looking. They were full of color it looked like a water color painting tree! (yes they were at the zoo ;))

Hot pink/orange flamingos everywhere!

And the Giraffe's were my 2nd fav! They were so beautiful- and fun to watch walk around.



Ewww! These gave me the creepers but they were cool to get close too! They were laying normal...then this one just opens his mouth and didn't move from that position after that! Yuck!

Trip to Cali

I am so bad lately! With TWO things: not taking any photos in Cali and not keeping up with Chandlers Bball season.
Chandler and I went to the Bay Area. He flew to San Francisco and I flew to San Jose on Feb 28th. Can I just say "IT FELT SO GOOD to be in Cali and on the mainland!" Chaminade had 3 games in Cali all in the San Fran area. I got to go stay with my dad while Chan was with the B-ball team.
I did not take out my camera all but ONCE :(
It rained pretty much everyday while we were there and it was cold! I didn't want to leave the house much to do anything other than his game nights.

Here is a pic of driving in the car with my dad on the freeway..there was two rainbows and it was so beautiful up against the the green LUSh hills! Ya doesn't show it much here...


One of the days before his games in San Fran my fam went to hang out a lil in downtown before. lets just say I LOVE San Francisco! I love the uniqueness of the people, I love the buildings, the colors, the streets, the shops, the town all together!
Took a few pics from inside the car of some cool architecture!


Had to get the leeeggs!

And of course Lombard street! We had to drive down it! I was in Awe! For some reason it was just so interesting to me! I loved it!

And then pretty much after this my camera died- So no good pics to really show Lombards steep turns!

Here is a good photo of it to give you an idea of what we drove down! I don't wanna know how much a home might coast on this street. Then again I wouldn't even want to live on this street. There are always tourists and a line to drive down it!
I had such a wonderful time with my dad. We had days and days of conversations. I miss it! Uh! Thanks dad for such a great stay! And of course Juanette for the A.M.A.Z.I.N.G. food!:)

Chaminade played Dominican, Academy of Arts, and Notre de Namur
We won two! We lost a good game to Dominican. It was so fun to play in Cali and to watch Chan play. Thanks to family and friends who all came to watch and support Chan!

The team than got home to Hawaii and went to Hilo to play Hilo University. (this game got cancelled the day we had the Tsunami warning) So Chandler got back to Hawaii and went straight to Hilo for this rescheduled game in Hilo. Got a big fat W! Winning the last game of their season was great! It was an Awesome winning game against them to end the season with!
One of Chan's best games with 14pts and some outstanding plays! He made the last 2 free throws to get them up by three points ...they came back and shot a three. Chan got the rebound back and so Chaminade won by three points- a pretty intense game!

I cant believe Chandler's first basketball season out here is OVER. :( IT FLEW BY! We only have one more year out here! And Chan's last year playing ball! OMG! Time has flown for us out here.
Now we are just pampering and taking care of Chan's body and letting it heal! Next season is going to be so fun. Cant wait for more games!

We went to a Luau at Hale Koa- it is always such a fun show with Glenn Medeiros!

Here is the fam with Euta (chan's mission companion)


Glenn Medeiros- He wrote the song, Nothing's Gonna Change My Love For You! I couldn't believe it! I listened to that song as a child! I just Love it!

He is still young so he was way young when that song came out. I'm sure all of you recognize it!

Maunawili falls

So when I visited Hawaii about 5 yrs ago I was taken on this hike that I would never forget! I have been wanting to go back and do it ever since we got moved out here! Its called Maunawili (mona-whilly) falls. It is so fun and when you get to the end there are pools of water and a waterfall that you can jump from. It can be very muddy if it has rained recently and you have to cross through the river maybe 5 times.

here is Meag and Jerrel



We are half way to the top and the scenery is beautiful!



It was crowed at the top because it was President's Day and everyone else on the island had the same idea to go hiking as we did. Here is the end of the hike at the waterfall.

Chan and I resting


My bro and I- we all brought our swimsuits but the water was pretty cool. I had my heart set on jumping as well as my bro but the water temp changed my mind. ( I jumped 5 yrs ago with all my friends, but I think as I have gotten older I have become ALOT more cautious with things!)




We enjoyed watching other people jump one by one! Or two by two!
