Beach outing and Easter

Hi Everyone!  Hope you had a fantastic Easter!  We had a nice morning at church and then did a little Easter egg hunt at home, skyped with family and I made a ham dinner.  It was a nice day celebrating our Risen Lord!

On Friday, Robert had the day off because of the Easter weekend, so we headed to one of our favorite beach spots, the lagoons at KoOlina.  Well, parking was full and we got turned around so we had heard there is a beach on Hickam AFB which happens to be close to our house, so we decided to adventure around and try to find it.  The beach we found was pretty nice, downside is there were no showers or restrooms but good side is there were no waves and really shallow water, so it was very kid friendly (and dog friendly, there were lots of dogs).

We just did a little Easter egg hunt in our living room and gave Eli a small little basket.  Here's a few pics.

Found a Blue Egg!

Grandpa visits Hawaii!

This past week Eli and I were so blessed and excited to have Grandpa come hang out with us for the week while Robert was still in the Philippines.  He helped with several projects, wrestled with Eli and brought goodies ;).  We went to the beach a few times, toured the island and just hung out.  It was a blast and so fun to have my Dad around for a little while.  Next time he comes he'll have Nana with him and they'll be meeting their first granddaughter!

Kitty usefulness

I'm upstairs cleaning the bathroom when Eli yells from downstairs, "Bug! Bug!"  We've taught him to tell us whenever he sees a big bug.

I came down the stairs to see this... the reason why we paid a small fortune to bring this cat to Hawaii.

My guess is that Jack brought this guy in from the screened in porch, but either way, he maimed it enough for me to get rid of it.  We are a team around here...
