The stark difference between me and Chris... which is also why people are nice to him here... and charge him less than they would a "hauli" or white person or stranger for certain services (flat tire today... would charge me $35, Chris $16) Go Chris!!! Brown and Proud ha ha... we'll meet people here and talk for a while... and then they say to Chris... "So...what are you...?" I love watching them try and figure it out!

and...
Da Beach today...

We were supposed to be having storms that had crazy winds and loss of power... but we said our prayers and we only had some rain throughout the nights, full power, and a beautiful day of sunshine!

Today at a beach in Hauula... it was so nice!!

Jayden and Keira are stuck to these tubes we got... they were definitely worth the $1 at walmart.. probably the cheapest thing we've boughten here ever... I hope they don't lead to the demise of my children in the ocean, trusting a cheap $1 tube... !! don't worry, we stay close by them... even though some times they want to float away on their own(I was trying different effects w/ photoshop, which I haven't done in a long time, and I think the beach exposure might be hard to work with... anyway... sorry if they are weird, i'm just messing around)
Ever seen surfer mag? they have tons of strips of surfers in time sequence riding a wave... i tried to do that here with Jayden... and it was huge, but will only pull it up really small... darn!! it was going to be really cool
And just some panoramic of the beach we were at today... so nice! :)

And Oh yes!! Chris took some pictures of the girls the other day... they were kinda making sqwunchy faces then good faces... never both a really good face at the same time... but still... turned out really cute!

HI! If you click on the surfer pics they enlarge all together and it's so cool. EEW on the spider! I'd be totally bugged at being locked out of a bedroom. Strange! Love all the beautiful pictures...so green and wonderful. Kaisa's looking over my shoulder and saying "I want to go to Hawaii." TOO hilarious about you getting in trouble for your cleavage. :D I know these are kind of random comments, but I was too lazy to do it for each post.
Love ya!
Les.

It looks like so much fun there!

DO the girls understand that they live there now--or do they ever ask to go back home?

I was thinking that those pics of the girls on top are gorgous I really like the effect you put on them. Your living in Hawaii I'm so jealous! It looks amazing there like a 24hr holiday. That's exactly what I want. How is school going. I laughed out loud about you get yelled at for showing some cleave. I would be excited if someone ever told me I was showing cleave. Well it looks like things are g well for you guys there. And a little boy how exciting a perfect addition!
