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.

Manana Ridge Trail: Hiking with friends on a Sunday afternoon
Kelsey, Tiffany, Rebekah, Wendy

Jennifer came to visit and we took her to the Mauka Warrior Luau in Ewa Beach.


Giving Jennifer a tour around the island with the kids in tow. I had to make sure we didn't too much walking- as we had to save our legs for the 1/2 marathon on Sunday.

RACE DAY #beforeScott

Always trying to get the best post race selfie- this was like take #3

Taking Jennifer on an epic hike on the windward side- Pu'u Ma' 'eli' eli Trail

Stopping at the NEX to send a picture to Corbin and then dropping off my bestie at the airport.

Great shot of Bryan and me surfing- curtesy Brian Duncan.


Jane's 4th grade class field trip.

         Jane's BIG 4th grade project on the Ahupua'a. 


More sewing projects I have been working on.

Easter 2025

*Note to self- no candy in the eggs placed on the outside of the house

The girls also attended an Easter celebration for Bryan's work. Collecting Mario and friends characters was the highlight. 

Some friends recorded me at the Ukulele Festival in my muumuu.  

It was so fun to have friends attend our performance. 


Afterwards, we attended the SPAM Festival in Waikiki. The food was awesome, but the crowds were not as awesome. I guess there was also a Boys to Men concert that night. 


On Sunday, the girls completed their first bike race in Haleiwa. I rode along with Jane, while Kate felt confident in taking off on her own. I am so proud of them for doing hard things that we sign them up for (and they don't get much notice). 



Jane getting an x-ray after falling on her elbow and complaining for several days. No break. She got to wear a sling, and that seemed to make her happy.
