Is this not how everyone spends their afternoon/evening?

Couple Random Weekend Shots

Just some random snaps from the weekend.

Enjoying some yogurt...

Stopping to say hi to the horses while walking on Thompson Road.  We had a mostly cloudy, windy, and rainy weekend but had a great afternoon of blue sky and sun today.

That's all for this weekend.  I'm trying to get a good video of Danny standing, which he's been doing more and more of.  Problem is that when I try to take a video, he wants to grab my phone, lunges forward, and in turn falls over.  Oh well.

More Reading

Daniel spent some time reading to himself...

Maui Tropical Plantation

For this weekend's field trip, we went to the Maui Tropical Plantation.  Can't believe we haven't been there before.  It's beautiful grounds complete with ducks and fish to feed, grass to crawl on, photo ops everywhere you look, and best of all...it's completely free!  They have a nice looking restaurant there too that we might try to check out someday when we go on dates again.

It was a fun adventure.  We'll be going back other mornings because we discovered they sell delicious smelling coffee for a good price.  

It's definitely nice to still find new places despite being on this tiny little island for 3 years already.  Keeps things fresh.  Having a kiddo helps with that since it opens doors to places we wouldn't have gone without a kid.

Now for too much food while we watch the Super Bowl!

Friday + Saturday

We went to the fancy park after school today.  We played in the grass and went on the slides and swings.

Daniel does this thing where he likes to stand up and then basically fall/leap/reach forward over you.  I accidentally took a picture of it mid-leap and it's awesome.

We got some quality swing time in.

Friday night I had a rehearsal at school, so after the park we really didn't do much.

Today (Saturday) started off pretty early again today...It was the 2nd day in a row of 4am playtime.

By the time we had taken turns getting up to play and then all napped again, we didn't get out of bed to start the day for real until 9:00.  I simultaneously felt like I had wasted my morning and that I had woken up wayy too early.

We decided to use a gift card and go to Starbucks for a treat.

Later in the day we went to the driving range.

This evening I had to play piano for a performance at school while Tom had to pick up a friend from the airport.  Danny got to stay up late and hang out with the big kids back stage while I played.

He also got to play with the light board and press lots of buttons, but I don't have a picture of that.

Today we also went to a new clothing exchange and ordered our anniversary present.  After 3 years, we finally got our wedding certificate (which most of you reading this probably signed!) framed.  It will be ready for pick up in a couple weeks and I can't wait to see it!

Oh and one more Daniel note - he's really starting to figure out this whole standing thing!  It's crazy how much progress he's made this week and even just today.  He can stand by himself for about 10 seconds now.  Doesn't seem like much, but it feels like it.  Crazy! 

Reading

Daniel has figured out that books aren't just for eating, they're for reading too.

This book has different textures on each page, which I had originally thought was just a gimmick since Danny didn't seem to care.  But now he'll sit and "read" and play with the textures.

Water

Oh hey there...

Just throwin' back some water...
