Miss Thing

Kylie came to visit today, even though she had a cold and didn't feel so great. We were so glad to see that baby!!! Here she is showing her beautimous tummy.

























Here she is showing Jeff how she can stand on her own two feet as Fran looks on.


























Pretty pretty face!!!

Vacation

Sean at the airport on our way home. boo hoo












Jeff and Sean snorkling (again!).




















Two Hawaiian guys playing music and singing at the airport. They did all native music. That weird contortionist guy with the underarm is distracting.













Another cliff jumper at the falls.
















Sean at Keoki's paradise. It's a cute restaurant near where we stayed.














Sean resting.













Sean at Glass Beach. This was a beautiful beach near a former dump. The sand glitters with tiny pieces of broken glass that have been worn down by the sea.

I didn't take many pictures in Hawaii. I guess it was too much like work - plus, my dumb camera lens cover kept getting stuck. Anyway, the few I took are listed here.

Here is Sean swimming at the bottom of a waterfall. He had to jump off a cliff to get in the water.








The beach and mountains on the North Shore of Kauai.













Here is a guy jumping off the rope swing at the waterfall. There were two fat Hawaiian guys in the water drinking beer and critiquing each jump. They heckled a little bit too.











Sean snorkling. (He did a TON of snorkling at different beaches.)












The view from our condo. Poipu Beach was a one minute walk away.












Us.















This was at Lydgate Beach Park on the west side. The beach is formed into two pools by rings of lava rocks. Inside the pool are lots of fish and the water is super calm and fun to swim in. (No sharks!)










Another view of the mountains up north toward the Na Pali Coast.













This might be too small to see, but there is a monk seal lying in the sand in the center of the pic. He looked just like Tangles.











Sean on our first day at Lydgate. We were on our way to the grocery store so we weren't in our suits.

6 month old Baby

Kylie turned 6 months old on Friday the 13th! Here is a picture of her cake. She didn't get to see it because she had to go to the beach - Lucky Girl!
















Here is a photo of her and her many fun toys. This was taken when she was 5 1/2 months old. It's too bad her hat fell off.

Laser Tag

Sean was lucky enough to get an invite to Joe's cool Laser Tag birthday party on Saturday. All these neat barriers were set up for the kids to hide behind while they battled.

Sean must have had a good time because he was exhausted when he got home and slept most of the evening.

What a great idea for a party!

More Cuteness

Since it's been raining so much, Kylie decided to wear her rain boots the other day.
















The fact that she doesn't actually walk, did not stop her from being fashion forward.


















Come on, aren't we all tempted to chew on our shoes every now and then?

Fun

We were lucky enough to snag another invite aboard Dave & Karol's sailboat last weekend. Jeff snapped a few pictures in between all the activity, but he was mostly helping them sail. I, on the other hand, should have been on camera duty since I did nothing but sit and enjoy.








Sean is actually sitting next to me - how embarrassing (for him).














A Happy Captain.


















It was a beautiful day, I hope there will be more to come.

We got to meet the Wicker's dog and now I'm mad we didn't think to take a picture of him (he is super cute!).

random photos

Here is a pic of Sean and his friend Nate at the Hershey Museum.












Here is Jake on his first day of work. Notice he's tagged on the hip with his Homeland Security Photo ID.




















Playing dress-up.

Sean's head on that body looks so freakishly good it's Scary!

Shannon

Here is one of Shannon's many beautiful grad pics. I wish the scanner had done a better job.

May

I am super behind on my postings (surprise!) so here is some spring-time stuff to tide you over.

I LOVE this pic of Kylie girl. She is in her jeans and looking oh-so coordinated and hip. Did I mention that I just love this baby??














Nan, here is a picture of the clematis and the irises we were talking about.












This is a snake-ee-poo I found wandering around the back yard. Sean tried to use 2 sticks to pick him up (a'la Steve Irwin) but the snake kept striking at him. It was actually pretty cool and I'm mad I didn't have the camera on me. By the time I got it, the snake had had enough and was in no mood for pictures. He was running away from me at this point. Good Riddance and don't come back sucker.

Hershey park

Here are some Hershey pics. I'll write narrative later.
