snapshots in my head

from sunset beach this morning:
- looking up from the bottom of  the "sand mountain" and seeing luke, velz, and ivy all sliding down towards me with hugs grins- even ivy was scooting her bum and pushing off her little legs to get down, so cute!
- swimming underwater and watching ivy's short little chubby legs kicking while in her baby float, and the contrasting long skinny ones kicking out of velzy's.
- after i came up from diving to the bottom to get velz and ivy some more coral to play with velz said: "mommy, you looked like a mermaid down there"
-watching lukes bright colored trunks as he swam around underwater- it's so clear.   
- i swam out a bit and yelled to velz to come swim out to me (in her float) and she yelled back (in a sweet yell) "mommy, i'm coming.  you need help?"

love love love saturdays.

Thank you, and I hate you! Just Kidding. It's a wierd combination of obsession and fear with reading your blog sometimes, because it makes me so homesick. I'm so glad you live hawaii the way i would- the right way. Ha. See you soon.

Ashley, I really think you are a mermaid! As much as youre in the water, you might else well be! I ended up getting a Nikon D80. It's a really fun camera, thanx for all the advice. You inspired me to save for something I really wanted:)

This is a great post Ash! It'll be great to look back on in a few years.

There's something about all those moments when you just can't/don't have a camera around to capture it!

Ashley, your blog is so cute, I've had so much fun going through it and reading it. I can't believe how adorable your little girls are. We hope to make it out there in the next year or so. We'll drop by.

I think it's so awesome that you have little water babies! Don't ever leave Hawaii...you'll regret it!! Then again, what's better than 115 degree days and nights?? Not much?!!
