swimming...

she may look like she's drowning, but she was floating!

back float...

rainbow at the beach.  it was the most beautiful thing... and you could see almost the whole thing!!!

playing...

more rainbow...

love that boy.  

and his cheese...  really, this is his "good" smile!

getting ready for sunset.

it was such a perfect evening.  

the kids played the way i remember playing with friends growing up.  just playing!

can you see diamond head in the background?  

chilling out with her cookies!!

i got to see the love of my life today!  that always makes for a good day!!  sadly, the kids were in bed.  we are hoping for another date in the morning.  

it was a good day.  the kids were a little whiny getting up this morning.  then, they went downstairs and were super quiet.  they came back up and stood side by side and told me how they had been whiny and went downstairs to change their attitudes.  and then they "showed" me their happy hearts with the cheesiest smiles.  it was so precious.

we had some attitude problems the rest of the day.  but, as we worked on it, i found the guilty party in her bedroom, praying to ask Jesus to forgive her and help her change her attitude!  so precious!  and we got some good snuggle time in after that!!!
