August 2024

 

Jane started 4th grade. She was nervous about school this year because her BFF wasn't going to be in her classroom. 

She was excited about her teacher, Mrs. Apio.

Meanwhile, Kate was sick at home with pneumonia for a week. She was really sad to miss the first week of school.

Rebekah leads a group of women hiking every quarter. This has been our highest attended group with 7 people! We hiked the 2 mile loop at Judd Trail.

Finally!! She was able to feel better and go to school. This girl HATES missing school. This will be her last year at Kanoelani Elementary- 6th grade.

To celebrate the new school year, we took some friends to Wet N Wild with

 Auntie Koko and Uncle Jesse.

Honolulu Century Ride 2024 - a tropical storm hit the night before, so there was a lot of debris on the roads. I think Bryan ended up getting 2 flat tires and had to Uber to the finish line because he had a plane to catch later that evening. Phew!

Kate's first attempt at making grandma's Sloppy Joes.

Baby Shower

My sweet friend Kelli threw a wonderful baby shower for me.  We had a great turn-out!  Us ladies were able to sit and talk, play games, and open presents.  In the picture is Kristin, Mary, Me, Maggie, Dulcie, Lauren, and Cheere.  Kelli is not pictured.  Baby Jane got lots of diapers and wipes, a lovey blanket, clothes, bathing supplies, a snowsuit for German winters, monogrammed blankets,  German toys and clothes, and Kate even got a few big sister gifts.  Lauren made the awesome cake with cookie dough inside. Delicious!  We had a great morning.  Thank you Kelli!
