May Day 2011

At the end of every school year there is always a May Day Celebration. I'm not exactly sure of the tradition behind it but I think it has something to do with the Hawaiian culture. Each grade level does a dance/song. It is a cute thing to do and just another thing that Eric gets to add to his things that he has been able to experience here in Hawaii. I have a video of Eric's performance; if I can ever get it to upload I will post it.

Saying Goodbye is NEVER Easy!!

There are many pros and cons to being a military family. One of the pros is being able to move all around and meet so many great people. On the flipside one of the cons is having to say goodbye when one of the great people move away. Back in May I had to say goodbye to one of my bestest friends in the world, Amanda. We were together many days of the weeks, we ran together, we shopped together, we ate chocolate and drank diet cokes together. She was the one who introduced me to raspberry diet coke, a little piece of heaven on earth. I knew if I ever needed somebody to talk to or cry to she was right there (she still is; it just isn't as fun having to do it over the phone.) Our kids played so good together and loved hanging out together (little Eric got his first kiss from Brooklyn!) Thankfully in about 2 months we will be within 3 hours of driving to each other.
Here are just a few pictures taken from our last day at the pool together

Coach Pitch Baseball 2011

This year Eric was old enough to play coach pitch baseball.Let's just say it was a HOT mess! We had a coach who had never coached before and didn't know anything about baseball. (She thought 2nd base was the 2nd pitcher's mound. She also found an app "Baseball for Dummies" and figured she would just figure out things from there.) I was so glad when the season was over. Hopefully next time he will get a better coach. Here are just a few pictures from the season. Most of the pictures just have great faces in them and that is why I am posting them(you will have to click on the picture to make it bigger to see the many faces of Eric). :)
