My Bday!!

So,I went to go get my ring cleaned at zales and came home with a LOVELY birthday gift. I'm so lucky to have a great husband, I got a camera and he even special ordered a ice cream cake. I of course had to go to a baseball game on my special day but Trey's high school team won the tourny against Kailua so its ok. It was also especially nice because my parents are in town.
Oh,he also fixed my bucket too!!!

The Bike is Dead!!!

So,my hubby was out riding with the boys on Sunday,and a very stupid person ran a stop sign and pulled out right in front of him and didn't even stop. With his quick reaction time he ditched the bike and rolled on the asphalt. Luckily,he ALWAYS rides with protective equipment(gloves,jacket,helmet,longpants,boots)and this saved him some serious road rash. He has a scrap on his hand and elbow. I don't know if everyone knows this, but the funeral we went to back in May was for his uncle that was on a bike and a truck crossed the center line and killed him instantly. That was the same day we bought this bike of course we had no idea it happened...Please watch out for motorcyclist.

The Bucket is Dead!!!

So,a couple of weeks ago when Donovan was gone, I started my lil Hawaii car(we call it the bucket it was 2000 bucks)and it was acting a lil funny. Against the boys wishes I took the car to work. They even called me to make sure I made it because they were worried. CUTE!!! Anyway, I didn't drive it again until D came home and we got stuck. The car just quit and we were in upper Makakkilo(hence the word upper). UP THE HILL!!!Luckily, one of the baseball dads has AAA and we towed the car to our house. Now D just has to work on it. The boys had to push it into the garage so she can be worked on.

My visit to SGU

So, I finally went back to SGU after 7 months. I got to see all my family,friends and my SkyWest family. I don't know why but Mia was always too busy to take a pic with auntie.

Of course we visited the Fely's and I got Veronica's famous strawberry shortcake. I also got to taste T's drink specialty but enough of that. LOVED SEEING YOU ALL!!! WE MISS YOU!!!

Things that irk me!!!

Yes, get ready I'm getting on my soap box.
Okay before Hurricane Ike hit town they had a mandatory evacuation order in place, some 2,000 people did not leave and now they need to be rescued. HELLO PEOPLE THEY TOLD YOU TO LEAVE. So, now the good men and women of the Coast Guard are putting their lives on the line to get these people out. Watching Matt Lauer on the Today Show he asked "why didn't you leave?" Oh we had no place to go. Are ya kidding me????

Another thing that really gets me going. I applied with a local airline back in April out of the blue I get a call asking if I was still interested in a crew scheduler position? I said of course I would love to interview. I show up,have a really great interview they showed me around the place, told me I was so over qualified but if I didn't have a problem they sure didn't and guess what??? I don't get a phone call either way, no communication, no email, no mail NOTHING!!!! What happened to common courtesy. Can you say I MISS SKYWEST!!!

That was a real CRAPPY call against my Chargers!!!! Nuff said!!!

OK enough of this I'm going to the beach to chilax!!! LOL

We decided to go horseback riding one afternoon just the two of us. It was so much fun and Donovan looked so funny on a horse. He's over six feet and he just didn't look very comfortable...
The next pictures are from Waimea Valley we took a little hike up to the waterfall we didn't know to bring our swim suits and the boys didn't want to get their shorts wet. Maybe if we ever get any visitors we'll go again!!!!

Vietnam

So most of you know my husband is in foreign affairs and travels quite a bit to different countries. This last trip was to Vietnam and he was gone for six long weeks. The good thing he was in hotels the whole time with a decent shower!!!

Memory Lane

MEMORY LANE

1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember!

2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you. If you don't want to play on your blog, or if you don't have a blog, I'll leave my memory of you in my comments...So I know I am behind every one with this one but play if you want if not that's fine too!

One of my new perks!!!

OK, so for most of you that don't know, I got a new job working as a concierge/activities desk at the Marriott Beach Club in Ko Olina. So, I have to go on all the tours so I know what to sell. My first one was the Ocean Adventure, OMG talk about a great experience. The pictures speak for themselves. Yes, those are my children in the blue and red. ENJOY

The 9 Niece's

Ok so I'm a pretty lucky auntie to have 9 niece's. I got the only boy's in the family probably because I don't know how to do girlie hair. Olivia 12(Cory's bestest friend) Katlin 10 Tasha 8 Mia 6 Mckenna 6(almost)Gabby 5 Kiana 3 Kailoni 2(almost)and last but not least Ava 1.

All-Stars!!!!

My boys made the All-Star teams this year for baseball. Cory's team didn't do too well but they had fun. Trey's team came in 3rd in the state. I think Trey's team ran out of steam, they played ALOT of baseball in 2 weeks and they beat the eventual state champions HILO. Good JOB MY STUDLY BOYS!!!!
Boy does Hawaii have some GREAT baseball!!!!!

Here is part of the newspaper article on Trey!!!

Makakilo fans roared hana hou as Trey Kamachi, the third batter of the game, pounded an out-of-the-park homerun that rivaled teammate Naki's hit. Makakilo bats continued swinging to a seven run lead after two innings. Ewa slowed Makakilo's momentum in the third, but a double and an error allowed two more runs in the fourth. With two hits in the fifth inning, Ewa scored one run, but Makakilo prevailed in the sixth with two more runs and an 11-1 victory.
