June 2025

Kate went to her first Young Women's camp the week after school let out for the summer. They spent 3 nights at Camp Mokuleia. One of the funniest things she mentioned was falling asleep in her camping chair because one of her friends in the tent was snoring. She left the tent in anger and sat in the camping chair in frustration- and then woke up with the sun. 

Of course, her favorite part was all the crafts!

Wendy and I our Primary girl group to see a play at the Paliku Theatre at the Windward Community College: Legends of Olympus

We finally saw the live action Lilo and Stitch with friends! Jane is obsessed!

I went to see the musical Six with my book club friends: Juanita, Wendy, Khinna, Ali, and Leslie.

I love it so much and scored free tickets- so I took Kate with me.


Hannah and Ashley visiting for the week. They flew over to go with Kate and Jane to Camp Erdman over on North Shore. Kate and Hannah shared a cabin. Jane and Ashley shared a cabin. They were able to hang out as a group throughout the week. We feel so grateful they were able to make fun memories with their cousins. 

After picking up the cousins on the last day, we showed how we jump the rock at Waimea Bay Beach Park. This is my favorite place.


Riding the train at the Dole Plantation.


Visiting Byodo-In Temple in Kaneohe.


Watching the fish eat was so entertaining on the temple grounds.


Finally making Spam musubi!


Ward Camp
Our tent did not work with the wind, so we slept in the car and/or truck. We only spent one night at Bellows but wished we had planned for more. I was able to watch the sun rise in the morning. I have such a great love for this beach and these views. 

Primary activity at the camping grounds of Bellows.

January 2025

Family party with the Ahlborn's before our trip back home. 

Visiting with Grandpa Ahlborn.

Bryan and I hiked Mount Ka'ala, the highest peak on Oahu. Unfortunately, our views were obstructed at the very top and we didn't find any of the protected snails up there. I guess that just means we need to do it again- even though I said I would never do it again.

Lots of high lunges and ropes.

Kate went on her first camp out with the YW. They went to Malaekahana Beach.

Waipiolani YW and YM

Kate and Jane took hula as an after-school activity at Kanoelani Elementary. They performed at one of their assemblies. 

White Plains: Kate decided to let the little kids bury her in the sand.

Mom and daughter hike up Friendship Garden Trail in Kaneohe.




Howie turns 4 years old!

Jane started taking surf lessons with the city and parks recreation. She had to pass a swim test and recall board terminology before going to Haleiwa Alii Beach.
