Last weekend we ran into Jordan’s best friend from preschool while out shopping at the outlets. We set up a play date for this week and were so excited. We met out at Ko Olina Resorts to go to the beach in the morning. It’s a resort that has 4 man made, groomed lagoons for your lounging pleasure. the parking is limited, but free. and there are no life guards. but we keep a close eye on our kids and so far so good.

These two had so much fun! :) and Jalen had a good time too!

took a quick snack break…

Ever since we went to see the movie Up last week I’ve been wanting to go buy some balloons. Since we had time to stop off at the craft store on Wednesday, we picked up 10 latex balloons. It was fun when they asked if it was some one’s birthday to be able to say, nope, just buying them for fun! (and pictures of course) Of course, had I thought about the wind outside… I might have thought of an indoors photo location, or waiting for another day… but no, I carried those balloons out to the car and we picked up lunch and headed down to the beach at Hickam… We picnicked and then took a quick photo op with the balloons on the beach. I also took the opportunity for a few ttv shots too. I really enjoy doing both varieties.

here is the skirt I sewed. It’s not a very flattering shot I’m afraid, but I’m putting my vanity aside to show the skirt. ;)

I hope you’ve enjoyed these snaps of our life in Hawaii! I’ll be back again soon!

Love Love,

Flat Stanley comes to town

I was so thrilled when my friend Noel asked me if I would be willing to host her daughter Emma’s Flat Stanley. Why, of course! I would love to, please send him on his way! When he arrived in our mailbox, I immediately laminated him and gave him a lei to welcome him in the traditional Hawaiian way. I took pictures along the way of his visit. We did normal things like grocery shopping at the commissary, and fun things like going to the North Shore, enjoying shave ice and going to the beach. I collected my favorite pictures and added the journaling and a little aloha flat stanley logo to each. I saved to my usb drive and headed down to Wal Mart to print. Unfortunately their one hour printer that I usually use was broken so I took the files across the street to Sam’s Club. The prints did not turn out exactly how I wanted (it cropped the very edges of some prints) but I though that Emma would forgive me and I took 2 sets of prints home(I had to get a set for me!) I put the photos in order and used my atg gun to adhere them back to back. I cut a plastic “hawaiian” placemat for the covers and punched it all in the bind it all. I used a 1″ ring and bound it all together.

Here is a peek into our visit with flat stanley:

I hope you’ve enjoyed your island tour along with flat stanley :)

There were more more more pictures, but I wasn’t sure how many you wanted to see of stanley next to the pineapple field, next to the macadamia nut orchard, next to the next beach etc etc etc. ha! We certainly enjoyed his visit and were so happy to send a little aloha spirit to Washington!

Thanks for stopping by!

Love-Love and Blog you later! Joscie, rhymes with bossy :)
