Halloween in Hawaii

I should've put this one last on the blog but I forgot. Then Engstrom Family, Halloween 2011
my Fam

She loves this costume so much! She's been asking me everyday to wear it.

Awwww....crooked halo already?

'lil Angel and Wonder Woman (although if you ask Kylee, she's Super Girl or Super Man)

Yup. Halloween in Hawaii. Sleeveless and flip flops.

Lexi's 1st time Trick or Treating

Kylee, Rylee and Peyton

Trick or treating at our neighbor Michelle's house. I love how Rylee is trick or treating too, even though its her own house. After about 1 hour of trick or treating, we all came back home so we could hand out candy. The girls took turns trick or treating at each other's house. Their smart!

Kylee and her buddy Rylee

Josh had to take his mask off a couple times because kids were too scared to get candy from him

Oh No! An Angry Vampire Demon attacked me!

That's a mean demon!

Another happy couple :)

My parents are so nice to let me eat all this candy

Sugar High!

This was the best Halloween we've ever had, it was so much fun. I already can't wait until Next Year!

Random October Pictures

its a nice look, right? upside down sunglasses
Lexi loves her ice cream. Love her and Josh's face here.

I asked Kylee to help me clean up so I could sweep and mop, and this is what I got

I guess Lexi didnt get enough to eat at dinner, she had to get on the table and eat Kylee's

I found Kylee laying like this one day. Look how her doll has a blanket, too Awwww, little sharers

Hello? Is this thing on?

I took Kylee to Latin Fest in Waikiki, they had some cool bouncy houses

Some guy made a huge balloon for her. I tipped him...but I was wondering what he was thinking making such a huge balloon for a 2 year old. She had all the balloons popped (from it dragging on the ground) within a few minutes.

my beautiful Kylee, diamondhead as a backdrop

i actually got her to pose. i think this is a Queen Kamehameha statue

Lexi loves to read

this is what a box is for, right?

My Bestie's Visit

I love this pic of Christy and Parker. The water is so beautiful and I love the diamondhead backdrop

Pictures from...a while ago

The view of the very West side of the coast. North West. It's all lava rock and beauty and seclusion.
Its so peaceful and beautiful

little Kylee at lunch one day. She's taken to making a lot of silly faces these days. Just in time for a visit to Grammy! Kylee, Lexi and I are making a visit to WI for Thanksgiving; most of my family hasn't met Lexi, and Kylee was still a baby last time we went to WI. We are all so excited :)

My army buddy and his wife Shirley came to visit, this is the view from Tantalus

Enjoying their first night, we ate at a restaurant right on the beach. We had a great time with them and I'm so glad they finally made it out. (HINT HINT to all of you who havent) free room & board...free rental car...free tour guide....just gotta pay for plane tickets.

Dont laugh....this is only like 3 months old. Lexi opening one of her birthday presents. It was like a week after her birthday, too. We like to spread out the birthday love.

Kylee showing Lexi how to open presents.

ha ha I love how kids can play with anything. Everything is a hat or a dress up outfit or something to climb in. Stay tuned to my next blog for a super cute picture of a dress Kylee made.

This is okay, right mom?

Sorry its been so long! Our computer is really almost considered a dinosaur and I dread using it. I dont take as many pictures as I should, either, since I'm working full time now. I'll try to be a better Mommy in the future!
