I'm not going to lie but it's been a while since we have been to church.  We have been "slightly" pre-occupied with the pregnancy and Ke'alohi.  Now that the "dust has settled," we decided to venture out once again and take Ke'alohi to Mass.  We decided on taking her to LMU so that she can see where Mommy and Daddy got married.  She was great throughout the whole mass and either slept or ate in Lucas' arms.  One thing … [Read more...]

To celebrate the Fourth of July weekend we all jumped in the car and went down to Solana Beach to visit Lucas' parents, Uncle Dan, Aunt Karen, Bailey, Jocelyn, Aidan and Julian.  We had a great time making tacos, cooking smores and going to the beach.  We even got to dip Ke'alohi's toes in the Pacific Ocean for the first time.  Even though the beaches up here are nothing like the ones back home in Hawaii (Yes, I know I'm spoiled … [Read more...]
