Finally...Some Pics!!

A friend of mine likes to refer to Phoebe as "freakishly strong"...okay, she is getting a little help here.


More origami from that oh-so-talented husband of mine.

Here's me, having lunch with three of my very favorite girlfriends.

Thanks for the ride, Mrs. Shanti!

Phoebe snuggles with our dear friend and hostess in Orange County, CA. Phoebe just loves Beth and truly enjoys spending time at her home...she has two doggies, and Mrs. Beth lets Phoebe help with their daily walks. She also has a collection of kid stuff to play with. We are so blessed to have a "home away from home" at the Eislebens.

We had to make time before leaving So Cal to go to Dizzeyland...are you dizzy looking at this picture? This is Xee's view. Poor guy gets dragged on this ride, only to regret it immediately. This time, I let him off the hook. Phoebe and I are in the purple cup.




Not our first time at the Happiest Place on Earth...but the first time we were patient enough to stand in line to meet the famous Mickey and Minnie (good thing the line was short...Phoebe started to tell everyone in line, "My turn, my turn!").

Shortly after returning home to Hawaii, we got to hang out with some friends who were vacationing here. After playing all day with her friend, when I finally got around to trying to snap a shot of the kids together, Phoebe refused to comply with my request and this is the pose that I got. So, the next pic is of Grayson, hangin' loose!

Adorable Gray, and his mommy, Melynne.

Baseball season has started and Phoebe is joining in the fun. She is totally into it! If it involves movement...she is into it. When asked to be
still, she replies, "But I need to MOVE!"

Just a few short weeks after visiting the Her family in Fresno, CA, we got to spend time with them again here in Hawaii! It was SO much fun to play with cousins and enjoy precious time together. Phoebe often says she misses her fam-i-ly. Can't wait to see you guys again!!!

One of many shots of Ayden making this face....is this a requirement of being a boy??

Now that is a CLOSE-UP!

Three little monkeys splashing in the tub!

If Phoebe is awake, she is dancing! Here she is encouraging her cousin, Nana, to join her for some skirt twirling. Notice how the boy in this clip (cousin Ayden) keeps "accidentally" bumping into the girls.

Phoebe and Angelina in an iTouch trance.

Xee takes the kids and Auntie Khou for a little golf cart ride.

Xee and his Mom on the gruelling Koko Head hike. Mom, you are one strong lady!


One last walk on the beach...come back soon guys!!!

Smoochin' on Daddy!

These two don't look anything alike, do they?

Yep, it is pretty clear that she inherited a fish gene from someone in our family.




This is a super short clip, but look closely.... swimming under water. No feet touching. We often get asked if she has had swim lessons. The answer is, "NO". Little Miss is mostly self-taught. We are pretty biased toward our kid, but even WE are impressed. The girl has no fear.
