4th of July

Me and my lovely husband
what kind of beer tent serves margaritas on fourth of july?

cant have 4th of july pics without some hawaii background pics

and of course, little miss baby Kylee

it. was. crowded. and fantastic. nothing quite like celebrating our nations birthday with a bunch of military people. i think it was the best 4th of july ever.

much like everyone else's fireworks i'm sure, ours were great

even Kylee watched them, and did really well. she only cried at one part, at the end. otherwise...she is such a laid back happy baby, she seemed to enjoy the fireworks and all the colors

sitting with daddy watching fireworks

hanging with friends

this picture was taken the 3rd of July. Oahu has fireworks on the 3rd, too. We went on an island off oahu, and turned around and watched fireworks on the oahu island. the ocean in between us. it was SOOO beautiful. i happened to stumble across this place known only to locals as a hidden secret, and i'm glad i stumbled across it.

here's a picture during the day, you can see the ocean and honolulu

miss Kylee busy as a bee on her laptop

hope everyone had a safe and happy 4th of July weekend! we dont have the dates nailed down yet but pretty soon we will all be able to share stories in person :)

some pre 4th pictures

On Josh's first off day, we went swimming. They make everyone shower in cold water before you get in. That goes over real well with Kylee

I swear the background here almost looks fake

love a sleeping baby :)

Kylee fell asleep playing with this toy

and she sits up now, too!

Kylee eating a biter biscuit

whenever Josh is around and I try to feed Kylee, it doesnt work. She just wants to smile at him. So either he has to leave the room so I can feed her, or he has to feed her.

We were on the go practically the whole 4 day weekend so I have lots of pictures to post. I'll post 4th of July pics tomorrow.

Walking

Josh, Kylee, Nash and I walked up and down the entire Tripler hill the other day. About an hour walk.
This is the hospital that is the midway point on the hill, where Josh works

my second favorite tree on oahu. they have really cool trees here

Have a safe and happy 4th of July everyone!

this past weekend

Kylee at the start of eating prunes last night. Almost looks like lipstick, huh?

Saturday we went to a Farewell party for a friend of ours who is heading to Iraq.

Kylee reaching for her bottle :)

i was dismayed to put this cute outfit on Kylee this morning, only to find that this 6-9 mo outfit is too tight for her :( she wore it, but it'll be the last and only time she does.
yesterday Miss Kylee was a cuddler, still has a fever isnt her shirt cute?

Kylee fell asleep today while she was eating rice cereal. yes, that is a santa on her bib...its laundry day and this is the only bib i could find

this morning Kylee rolled off the rug to get to Nash and pull his hair

Kylee has had a fever the past few days and has another tooth coming in. She's not taking this one well at all :(
although its not all bad because it means she wants to cuddle all day!

She loves freezies...thats the only sugar she gets so far

Kylee chewing on the MOST ANNOYING TOY IN THE WORLD. thanks a lot Grammy for buying it. its her favorite toy, too. i guess thats how it always works. generally i welcome toys that move and make noise because she loves them, but this toy just crosses the line

i found this pic from a long time ago on my cell phone. dont remember if i posted it but since i havent seen my little girl smile in a few days i wanted to post it

swimming

We brought Kylee to the Army pool again. She still loves it :)

It was a little on the windy side so we didnt stay for long
