i wasn't joking about the sugar high

and that was just one night...not to mention the melona bars, ted's pies, three things of roselani ice cream, and jelly beans.
we have had so much fun last week... despite ata airlines (which they flew) going bankrupt the day after they got here and some less than perfect weather, we had a blast.

here is proof (from three different cameras):

they got here wednesday, so we stocked up at costco and were off to the beach. then came home and unpacked the new board that luke bought on ebay and had my dad bring out. isn't she a beauty?thrusday-

morning spent finding new plane tickets at outrageous prices.

spent afternoon having a picnic and beach combing 7th hole in kahuku. playing with a ghost crabgrandma and i walk on water

friday-
happy 50th to my DOD ("dear ol dad" as i like to call him)

rain and wind chased us to haleiwa where my dad fell in love with his dream "wall hanger" surfboard- a yater longboard, deck adorned with abalone shell and a beautiful mermaid. she was hot:

then on to waikiki to escape the rain, where we played and the squal followed us, then left us in some fun sunshine. as much as i am not a fan of waikiki, it really is fun to go there and play every once in a while. the evening was spent at haleiwa joe's (the one in haiku gardens- way better than the one in haleiwa, if you ask me) for birthday dinner and dessert(s). yummmmmmmm.

saturday-

luke, the 50 year old, and i surfed pua aina (is that how you spell it?) for a few hours and came home to sunshine and played in the moffat's backyard.

i have the coolest grandma ever-

sunday- was not a day of rest-
we went for a walk on the beachif you can see ivy's face it says pure joy, the kid is a crack up.watched general conference- how good was Elder Ballard's talk to moms? and how cool is President Monson? very good and very cool.
while watching conference my multi-tasking amazing mom whipped this up: gagster is an amazing colorer. adam and i taught her everything we know.
then we took another walk on the north shore bike path, came home for naps, and had a early birthday party for little miss ivy.
much to every ones surprise she didn't really dig in to her cake. just ate some frosting, put her foot in it a few times, and then was done. velz was a big help though.the moffat/kositwongsakul/billings crew:75, 50, 25, 1. i won't tell which one is which. and i don't have eyes.monday-
surfed haliewa with riley and my dad. still a little windy, but there were long peeling lefts on the inside for fun little nose rides.
finally made it to romy's for shrimp with grandma.

spent the afternoon at turtle bay playing around.
that night my dad took velzy flashlight hunting. honestly, is there a cuter grandpa out there? don't even try to answer yes to that one, cause i have a million reasons why my dad is the best grandpa.the first catch a gorilla, then they found a hunting dog, which was supposed to be first. he has a camo shirt and his name is bingo.the hunterstuesday-

surfed allllll morning at chuns, with luke, my dad and riley. my dad and riley also surfed piddley's and kamasugis. lovely. tried out the new board, and i am love, it's amazing. we have to get another one so that luke and i don't fight over it. i want an orange one.

afternoon was rainy, but we hung on the beach behind where my parents were staying.

meet up with luke at kua aina for some burgers for dinner and ended the evening with some more pie. and the hunters went out and found a bear and tiger.

wednesday-

surfed goat's on longboards with out leashes. i swam a lot.

drove to the airport and said bye to three of my favorite people.

velzy was crying for papa when she went to bed and when i went in to talk to her she was saying "me miss papa." so sad. but we got tickets to come to california for two weeks in july!

today- doing laundry, trying to remember how to be a mom by myself, swearing off candy and treats for a bit and spending all of nap time on this huge post.
