We are back in business!

Yea! Our computer is fixed! We totally thought that the computer was a gonner. Ben being that resourcful person that he is, found a inexpensive, faster and bigger hard drive and installed it all by himself! He is a man of many talents. So Ben showed me this finnish YouTube video and can I say that not only can the Finnish people dance but boy can they sing!

There is hope

My husband is so smart and resourceful! We think our computer will last a little longer, maybe. Right now our computer will run only when it is placed on its side...go figure. Anyway, our hard drive has a bad spot in it and he thinks he found a program that will reprogram our computer to work around the bad spots?? I wish that I was more computer savvy so I could explain it. I guess it means that not all is lost and mom we will now be talking on camera sideways. Oh the things we take for granted. It isn't so bad using the library computer or even the business center computer...but now I have to take Max with me and that doesn't allow for much time!

A sad day...

Well it finally happend...our computer died. Just when I was doing so good at honoring my new years resolution too. It has served us well, keep us in your prayers. Love you all. Till we meet again.

Water Baby

I am so happy that Max likes to play in the water! I love swimming and playing in water too. I would be so bummed if he was scared or cried when he got wet or put his face in the water. But he does it all on his own. He dunks himself, climbs in and out by himself and loves it when Ben does huge splashes right in front of his face. There is also a hose at one end of the pool that he loves to play with.

We went to the zoo a couple times last week and played at the water park. Max loved it!! There are palm trees with water coming out of the leaves, animals with water spraying from their mouths and fountains of water coming from the ground. He had a blast and it was so fun to watch him. He would walk and stand up all by himself. I guess he just needed the right motivation. He would scream at the other kids cause they were all screaming. He just went from one fountain to the next. He had a lot of fun and a really good nap!

Here are Ben and Max playing in the pool at the apartment. I love my guys they are so handsome!

Aaa-lo-haa Kurt and noelle

So we have these awesome friends that we left behind in Hawaii, Kurt and Noelle. We get the chance to talk on the phone every now and again but I am always checking up on them via http://reynoldsrus.blogspot.com/. In my internet routine I opened up their blog and the new post had before and after pictures of them. WOW!! They tried this new workout together and can I just say they look awesome!! So I wanted to pay tribute to them for working so hard to get in shape. You guys look awesome! We miss you!

When we moved to Kailua they were one of the first people we met and we totally got along. They had a little girl, Drew, who was only 3 months old at the time. Ben and I loved Drew she was so cute and fun to watch grow up...anyway they now have a little guy named Brody. He is so flippin cute! Max and him are just about one month apart. I wish we were still around because they would best friends!

He we all are on a trip to Maui at the top of Wanahaukalugie, oh I mean Haleakala.

Here we are at the lighthouse looking over at Wiamanalo Beach.

Aloha Kurt and Noelle!

No title needed

I had to post this picture just for the sheer joy that it will bring to me to know that you will be laughing out loud just like I did when I saw this. Ben and I were scrolling threw the new pictures and we just about peed our pants, well I did almost. This is lunch time with dad. Max's new favorite thing to eat are strawberries. He packs his mouth so full of strawberries that he looks like a little chipmunk. I don't know why I bother cutting them up. Ben's new past time is making smoothies with the 'Magic Bullet' (thanks Ann!). So this day Max had strawberries and a blueberries smoothie for lunch.
