Busy Weekend

What a blessing to be able to do things! We went out to dinner at this new fangled place in Chesapeake Friday night, Sat morning I took the girls to a stamping party where we all chanted my name at a drawing and- I WON!! We headed out to play with my nephews, then go to the movies..Sun we went to church, had lunch, went to the movies, went to the movies again (Sneak Preview of Star Wars Clone wars!!!) then ran to the hula show...whew!!

Huki Lau..again!

After one loooonnnngggg marathon weekend for me, it ended with a very fun fun show at a church luau. It turns out I had connections to this church and didn't even know it! haha!! Oh man was that plate dinner ONO!!!

Click on the last couple of pictures, they are actually videos of our very enthusiastic Tahitian volunteers!

Let's Bowl!!

Sunday, we wished Ms. Donna a fond Aloha! Ahhh..the opportunity to be with family and get a whole new perspective on life, to start it all over again: such things are priceless to begin with..but then on top of that to be in Hawaii!?!? Woohoo!!

Huki Lau!

We had a great hula show last Saturday night in Norfolk..We seemed to wake up the crowd from their food induced comas! We always come mentally prepared as to where we will be standing, how we will enter and exit the stage (or "stage area" if there isn't a "real stage")..Then we get to the venue and we're like: Errr?! But we make do: Hey you ladies that are more experienced, you are up front and the rest of us will be in the back! No Sweat!

So, we performed w/o a hitch and the audience participation went really well, too. We finished our hour long performance and went out for what I realize is Auntie's traditional "Let's go eat after a great performance" meal! :) Haha! We ended up at the new Plaza Azteca...We got to hear really great and funny stories about Donna. Sniff..this was her last performance and then we'd have a bowling party on Sunday wishing her a fairwell..she was heading to Maui to start her new life with her youngest son and with her family...sigh, how awesome is that?

Oh, the last picture..beware what you wear when you have a white dress on! Hahaha!! That's one way to make sure we all have a smile on our faces while we are performing!!!

I feel a dance coming on...

My cute nephews doing their dance inspired by Evan Almighty-enjoy!!




Ahhh...new baby smell! We stopped in at the very tail end of a Baptism Party (Seriously busy Sunday, more pictures of that to follow) and I got to hold the baby thanks to my sister who snuck back to us with the cute little Quinn man!






This little cutie had the softest baby hair, cutest shirt that said "Future Ninja" and tiny little old school checked Baby Vans!!



Here's my mom, Meleilani, Keoni, Auntie C and the proud gramma, Auntie/Lola Elsie! They were amazed at how tall and grown Miss Ani is!
