Happy New Year!

Uncle Greg strung up a load of fireworks on a stick and tied it to his fence for one last big blast at midnight as Kamalei and daddy look on! Happy New Year Everyone!








It was a full moon that night and we were going to take a moonlight walk on the Kealia bike path at 7:30pm that night but it was very cloudy so uncle Greg cancelled the walk. By the end of the night the sky cleared up and we were able to see the "Blue Moon." They say that the next Blue Moon won't come again until 2028. So that's where the saying, "Once in a Blue Moon...." comes from.



Our neighbors started shooting illegal fireworks in the sky! We really enjoyed watching them. They were awesome!









As we were waiting for midnight to arrive, the kids (or more so the adults) started getting bored with the fireworks outside. So the big kids came in to play dice and card games with Grandma Linda.







Kahi yau-yau!











When Ryan and Kamalei got tired of sparklers, they started throwing and stomping on poppers!
















Even with all the smoke, that didn't stop Ry Ry from playing with sparklers with his dad!










Alaka'i is La'akea's partner in crime. They are always coming up with something together. Like putting fireworks in a bucket full of water!










Kamalei and his sparklers! He wanted to light them himself with the candle and by the end of the night he had wax all over his clothes and himself!


















Makaio and his mosquito punk to light his fireworks.












We went to Greg and Michelle's home for New Years Eve dinner...a saimin bar that was onolicious! The kids had so much fun popping fireworks. Beware...there are a lot of pictures to see!

It's A Boy!!!


On November 24th we found out we are having another boy! A fourth son that should arrive on May 17, 2010!

The Cousins

They sure can get into lots of mischief and boy is it exhausting to chase them around! I was lucky to catch them sitting still for a minute! I think the candy they got from the pinata helped!
The Three Little Munchkins!

After I took the Chow family pictures, we had Sunday dinner at Grandma Linda's house. We feasted on the left overs of Papa Gerald's Saturday Luau. While we were there, I caught some cute pictures of the cousins that are all about 6 months to a year apart. From left to right, Kamalei, Ka'eo, and Ryan.

Amateur Photography-The Chow Family

I love taking candid pictures of children the best!
Maka and Kailer are so adorable!
All the kids!

On Dec.27th my sister in law asked me to take their annual family picture. I was glad I could practice my photography since I love to take pictures. I thought the pictures turned out great! Don't you think? Especially since it only took 15 minutes to do...enjoy!

Our new home!

So I've always wanted to start a blog. So...here it goes in 2010! We just went to visit our house in Anahola that is being built! We are so excited about it that we try to visit it at least once a week! Here are pictures of the progress!
