Watta Guy

We've been living it up at the pool and splash park this week. It has been in the 90's this past week, so are in summer mode! These are just a few of the photos I snapped of Jax this week.

He loves to watch tv (way too close I might add) and he also likes to pull his diaper down (which is usually funny, unless he is poopy)
Jax found Ryan's socks in the sock bin, and brought them to daddy so he would put them on Jax. funny kid. (ok, they are my socks)
We found Jaxson in his room reading the D&C children's book this week.


I promise he does wear clothes, most of the time.

Last but not least, Skydiving!!

Well, the 3 crazies of the house decided they wanted to jump out of a plane at 15,000 feet and free fall for 60 seconds. yup, crazy! This is us waiting for the first plane to jump and come back to get us.



This is a cool gecko I saw when I was waiting for our turn





About to get on the plane. The guy on my left was my instructor, and the one behind Rhonda is her instructor (he decided to tighten her harness last minute)


in the plane



Rhonda paid to get the pictures and DVD --- which we awesome to look at! Ry and I figured we could just have fun doing the jump :)



Rhonda jumped first, then Me, then Ryan


Me landing. yaaa for being on the ground!



It was such a fun trip to Hawaii with Ryan's family! Jaxson loved all the attention and was spoiled with it too. Thanks for the fun trip, lets do it again soon!

Other Hawaii Photos

On the first night, we stopped by Kui'Ana burgers in Hale'iwa. YUM! We especially think their french fries are super good.
There were bikes at the house to use at our leisure. Ryan, Rhonda, and Jordan went out on a bike ride right after a big rain storm. Ryan decided to go through a big puddle and wiped out. Although he looks happy, he cut his hands/toe really bad. It put a damper on the trip because he was hurting in the salt water! (they are still healing now -- like I said, they were pretty bad)

In front of BYU-Hawaii. That would be a fun place to go to school!

This was on our drive to the Byodo temple. It was raining so hard that there were tons of waterfalls coming down off the mountains. Pretty!

Erika and Allan did an awesome job entertaining Jaxson with Mickey Mouse Club House

Bike riding brothers (similar to super smash brothers)

We played a lot of ping pong. So much fun! Ryan and I are going to get a table once we have room for it. We both love playing, even though we can get really competitive (esp. when I am winning (which isn't all that often, maybe 30%))

On Laie Point. We were showing the gang where we stayed last time Ryan and I came over. When you look down the clifts, you can see tons of crabs walking all over the wall!







We ate dinner at Ted's Bakery (pretty good) but their chocolate haupia pie was really good!

Shaved ice at Matsumoto's - they had a new flavor, white cake, which was yummy!

We were able to go to the LDS temple in Laie. It is always a blessing when Ryan and I can go (it is much harder now that we have Jaxson, and the temple is 1.5 hours away in Texas)

Who is this kid?! Walking around like he owns the place...

Somehow Jaxson kept on getting fed M&M's from different people in the house. I had to change his shirt 3X a day cuz he got it everywhere! haha

Cute photo of my boys! I think this was early one morning when Ryan and Jaxson were still on Central Standard Time.

we went back for more shaved ice!

The guys (Ryan, Jordan, Allan) decided to do a big fishing trip, but unfortunatley they didn't catch anything. sad! So they just chilled on the boat, in the hot sun, getting sea sick. barf.

Polynesian Cultural Center

On Thursday, we went to the Polynesian Cultural Center in Laie. It is always a highlight for me. I love seeing the different cultures and shows.

This is at the Samoa village. Lee got called up on stage to drink some coconut water.
We decided to take a photo with the funny samoan guy while we waited to eat the samoan food (they cooked it on top of the ground, but covered in leaves and other things ... i guess it is a lot faster than cooking it below groud like some of the other villages do).

This is the canoe pagent - Tahitian dancers. I have always thought it was so cool how they can swing their hips constantly and make those pom pom things just fly. haha

The New Zealand canoe. The girl on the far left was awesome at making the scary haka faces. The other girls -- not scary at all. But that skinny left one, nope wouldn't wanna get in a fight with that girl! The Fiji canoe. Just a shot out to my Fijian friends - Vee, Tina, and Livini


My favorite show was at the Tongan Village. They were hilarious! This is the main guy who taught some of the audience members how to play the drums (Ryan did it last time we were there). awesome!



We tried out luck at throwing spears. They were similar (lighter for sure) to javelins and we had to throw it a ways and get it to stick in the ground in a hula hoop. We were all decent at it with Lee getting the closest to the hoop. scary eh?


reminds me of night at the museum ... me no dumb dumb, I want gum gum

Just to be annoying, I grabbed the camera and secretly followed Jordan around to snap a photo of him when he saw me. Results, amazing! I think they need to start an America's Next Top Male Model show, and we can submit this photo for Jordan to try out. I would like to take all the credit cuz I took the photo, but it's his face and thats what makes the photo, right?! :)

Jaxson was having fun walking around and going up and down the steps.

Waikiki

On Wednesday we took a drive to the south part of the island -Honolulu/Waikiki (aka the touristy part. which I actually quite like, not Ryan's fav though)

We went to one of my favorite restaurants -- The Cheesecake Factory. We ordered Jaxson a half order of fries, which didn't exsist, hence the regular order of fries. He was in heaven (and mommy and daddy were very nice to help jaxson finish his plate)
Me & my cutie. In downtain Waikiki, there is very limited parking. Well, I forgot Jaxson's diaper stuff in the car a ways down the road (it was in another bag, not my purse, for some reason). Well, Ryan was kind enough and ran about half a mile to get it for us. This was taken while we were waiting.
This was the day before Erika's birthday, so we thought we would tell the waitor we were celebrating her b-day. Suprise!!


Waikiki Beach


In front of the surf man statue


So he is holding real flower lei's (which is kind of ironic he has so many, because ever since I was little, I wanted to wear a real flower lei in Hawaii, and even though I have been 4 times, I still haven't gotten one)


We went to Pearl Harbor in the afternoon. We got there around 3:05 and were sad to find out the last ferry ride out to the memorial had left 5 minutes prior. sad. But it was neat looking around, they have moved around everything and have re-done it since Ry and I were last there in Aug '08.


My favorite place. The flea Market, Swap Meet, heaven. I really enjoy shopping (food, clothes, accessories, baby, etc.) Well, I found some cute shirts and an ABC's quite book for Jaxson. I got some cute jewlery and I also got my pink pearl (from the dole plantation) mounted on a neclace. Such a fun place!
