Face Painting..and Ears, and Hair

Edison Alexander- the master of carrot art.

Creating Autumn

Since our palm trees don't necessarily change colors, and our balmy 80 degree weather doesn't cool down, I have to take matters into my own hands. This is how you create Autumn in Hawaii.



Peel some juicy, red apples.


Make an apple pie



Place some fake leaves in a vase on the table (you gotta do what you gotta do)


Check out some autumn themed books for the kids



Break out the Fall table cloth, light your Fall candle and enjoy that apple pie.

I forgot to Mention

Oh yes, and one more thing I finally got a picture of- Edison's teeth! We had to take this picture when he was fast asleep so we could pull his lip down without him biting us.









When Nate and I saw this video, lets just say that it was all too familiar. I just wish I had this kids cute English accent.

A long over due update

This little one keeps growing! Here are a few of the big highlights.

Edison Eats -The Premier!


He actually wasn't this happy after the first bite of green beans. He really gagged to tell the truth. But now he eats just about anything (literally anything...I even find him underneath the dinner table sucking on my toes.)

Edison Sits Up and Crawls- The Premier!

Does he not look totally mischievous in this second picture?

Edison Gets a Tattoo -The Premier! (the one and only)

He got this tattoo at a "One year" birthday party for my old Boss's twins. When a child turns one year out here it is quite the celebration. I'm talking sign in book at the front door, party favours, two individual cakes for the twins, prizes, full buffet line for guests, and an ice sculpture bigger than my wedding cake. Edison will be getting a cupcake when he turns one...and maybe a ball. We'll see.

Edison Behind Bars

Since the crawling started, I had to break out the "bars" to block the kitchen. He was not too happy about this one at all.

Bring back the A1

So check this out, my friend from BYUH entered into this A1 Steak Sauce "Sing Your Beef Out" contest, and I have to say that I was pretty compelled to go buy the sauce afterwards. Works for me! It's hillarious.

Nate's break dancing days

Since I've known Nate, I've always known that his brothers did break dancing when they were kids. Then, all of the sudden I see these pictures of Nate posted on facebook flying through the air and swirling on the floor. Turns out that Nate was part of the crew, but never explained that bit to me (or maybe he did, but I just took it as a joke). The crew called themselves the" Zucchini Warriors." What a stud.

That's him on the right with the white jeans (white jeans? It's so hard for me to picture Nate owning a pair of white jeans).

Now, this picture made me laugh because the shirt that Nate is wearing (he's the third one in from the left) he still wears to this day... tucked in with dress pants as a matter of fact.

Et Taco

Hey, at least Edison likes it. Maybe we should still consider getting a dog.
