Our first papaya

We got our first Papua off the tree Carley planted. She has been watching it like a halk for months. Now. As one of those huge papayas finally started turning colors, she was able to pick it. The photos don't even do justice to show how big the papaya was.

And since Carley doesn't like papaya and neither does Jimmy, taylor and I were able to enjoy the whole thing by ourselves. It was great once it got a little riper.

May Day Performances

We took the girls out of school while the Colvers were here so their first day back was May Day. Both the girls wore aloha dresses and leis. Their performances were very cute.



I felt really blessed because where I happened to be sitting was a perfect spot to be for where both Carley and Taylor performed on the field.
Nikki and Carley
It was a hot sunny day.

Aloha 'oe Colvers

And then they had to leave. It was a whirlwind that was intense and over quick.
Taylor loved hanging out with some of the older Colver girls. It was so cute how Eleanor, Lani, and Trisha would all play so sweetly with her. Taylor still called Lani "favorite-girl".
The Colver's visit was the most important to our little Carley. She has had the hardest time out of everyone in our family adjusting to the move away from her friends. She got to fulfill a lot of the things she has been asking to do because her friends were here such as riding her bike to the stores (probably close to 10 times in one day), sleeping on the trampoline (until it rained in the middle of the night), having a lemonade stand, and mostly just reconnecting with the Colver girls.
Taylor was excited to see her "boyfriend" J. They irritate each other but they love ra other too.

It was great to see Nina, who is pregnant with #9.

North Shore with the Colvers

We stopped off at Matsumotos for shaved ice
And then stopped off at Sunset beach to make and eat sandwiches. I told them that Jimmy and my first official date was on that beach over by a coconut tree where we ate a picnic dinner at sunset. My girls thought that was really neat.

Then we went to the Polynesian Cultural Center where Nina and Justin both used to work.



Bubbas' concerned look
He's such a happy, good natured little guy. I am so grateful to be his mom.
