Briggy bug

 Brig and I had some fun during the winter months this year.  I had the opportunity to assist the shows music director and choreograph for Children's Theater of Oahu! so fun...and time consuming:) Brig at first had ZERO interest in dancing around and singing in front of a crowd..that is until he found out he could be a dragon..then he was all in!  The kids ages ranged from 6-18..except for little brig of course, who just turned 5:) he was the littlest bittiest dragon..and the cutest! (says mom). 

 Here I am doing his makeup, that i was only allowed to call face paint:)

 dragons being chained up by a really tough knight of Camelot..Brigs FAVORITE part! (cameras were not allowed..but i didnt care, its my babys first show!)

 Cutest little Dragon EVER

 curious dragon locked in the dungeon...

 Brig showing his stuff during the dragons solo number (flying out of the dungeon)

 Taking his bow at the end of the show

 applauding the other groups and leads (see how tiny he was compared to the other kids!..too cute)

 waving to the crowd from under the curtain

 with mommy and Gravy boy after his VERY LAST show! they had 9 in four days..he was exhausted but loved every minute of it!

 meet and greet, getting a pic with his buddy the Evil Morgana..aka sweet Madi

 after the finale with his group leader auntie lisa. she let the little dragons all paint her face so she looked like them..such a fun leader!

 backstage with the fam:)

 Our Dragon  (he got the littlest dragon with the biggest heart award, that about sums up our Briggy!)

Daddy and gravy Boy before the finale started. Gray knows everyone's lines and every song..its precious.

North side view of the NaPali coast

 

Seth and I left the boys with G&G Keiser and got to hike into the NaPali coast

 

Vog (volcanic fog) is so frustrating at times but at least it made for a cool picture

river crossing 1 of 183,673,293,434,845,1451.. :)

detoured off the coast to see this sweet water fall, it was so cold at the base of it, tons of wind was blowing the cold water every which way and there was no sun. so so pretty though

oh my word!!!

Brig Turned 5!!!!! I cant believe it. he had such a great birthday..i dont know if we could ever top it!  Words cant begin to express how grateful i am that our Briggy boy came into our lives.  He is the smartest, most genuine, kind hearted, hard working, an by the book boy in the world..we love him to pieces!!

 

Brig and his school teacher

 

i love this picture..he was seriously bursting with excitment that his big day had come:)

his teacher was nice enough to let Gray come sit with the class as they had cupcakes and sang happy birthday to Briggy.

  happiest boys in the world. missing naps and playing at chucky cheese:)

 birthday loves

 his grandparents sent him to a day of fun at our sea life park! it was incredible and both him and Gray loved every minute of it!

 waiting for a show to begin. i DID NOT dress them..i hate matching clothes..dang dad:)

 dolphins showing off at the start of their show

 the boys got to feed sea lions..it was AWESOME!

hello blog

we have been without internet for a few months...hence the lack up blogging. i am tethering off seths phone and praying it works long enough to get a few photos up.

we are all doing really really good. seth is busy as ever and is counting down the days till his long awaited vacation! I am doing photos when i can, its a bit tricky only having one car that seths has to take everyday but im doing enough to keep me from getting antsy:), i have just started choreographing for a children's musical theater production here on the island which has kept me busy but is also lots of fun.  Brig is still obsessed with school, which is wonderful! he hates days when he doesn't have homework..im happy to say he must of got his daddy's brain! ha He is riding a bike without training wheels and swimming laps in the pool..the boy is an all star! his favorite things to do lately are hike, hike, hike and play superheros:) Gravy Gray is wild as ever:)  he has more energy than the rest of us put together and everything is silly..im beginning to think he doesn't have a serious side.  He has attempted potty training a couple times. loves wearing the soft big boy undies. this is what he says when he puts the on.." oh these are so so nice, its soft like my blankie!" haha but not even a soft pair of clean undies and m&m's can keep this boy setting still on the pot long enough to do business....oh well..one day.  Lately gray has been obsessed with going bike riding, he asks everyday basically all day to go. He also loves to hike, and insists on wearing his running shoes everywhere we go.

we had a excellent holiday season.  seth worked thanksgiving but we were fortunate enough to get christmas together..YaY!  we are loving our experience here and trying to make the most of everyday we have here.

anywho..here are a few pics from lately...
