Posting Frustrations

I apologize for the notes incorporated into the blog. When I write them up, they are nestled right next to the picture that matches the description. I even check it and change it when I look at the preview. Somehow by the time I get to see the post, the descriptions are somewhat comically and yet terribly far from their intended location. If anyone has any insight as to how I can work with this blog better, I would appreciate the input. Otherwise I will be sure not to use this sight in the future!

Vacation in Oahu, Hawaii

Trevor found a great deal for a trip to Oahu, Hawaii! Kiera agrees that the warm weather and beautiful ocean views make a fantastic vacation :) Trevor even set us up with a convertible mustang to drive around town.

Snorkeling at Hanauma Bay

Waikiki sunset

Pearl Harbor visit to USS Arizona memorial site

Kiera enjoys time in her sunshade at the beach.  The rest of us are still feeling the effects of the sun in a brighter shade of pink than we'd bargained for!

Haleiwa beach, Trevor tries out his boogie board on the north shore

We even stop at a farmer's market

Kiera is learning to read ;)

Hiking Diamond Head

At the top of Diamond head we enjoy views of Honolulu below.

Riding on Daddy's shoulders

First Foods

Now that she has her teeth and sits up on her own, we decide it is time to initiate her taste buds!

She starts with home made rice cereal and graduates to home grown sugar pumpkin and avocado - still the favorite!

The gagging and talking while eating was very amusing ;)

Sometimes she just wants to grab the spoon to chew on it and ends up feeding herself!

May

Kristin, Kylie & Jessina came to visit!

Now we are into May. Summer is almost here. We learned that we have two beautiful pink dogwoods and a star magnolia in our back yard.

Kiera loves to play in the back yard on nice days.

If you look very closely, you can see her first two bottom teeth!

Visiting Grandpa Greg's Mother's Day

She sits up on her own for much longer now. Time to lower her crib mattress!

Maya and Margie came to visit!

March into April

Okay, how did we get so far off!? Kiera changes so fast that we can hardly keep up!

Kiera's Great-Uncle David came to visit and play

Kiera tries on her daddy's baby clothes!

Auntie Gaynor even came back to visit.

Kiera poses in her fancy hat with her collar turned up. She still doesn't really like tummy time.
