Being stalked

Daddy was stalking me like a predator stalks prey and I was trying to escape, but my way was blocked. There was no where for me to go. It was funny and fun, until I realized that I really was trapped. Then I didn’t like it very much. So the game ended and we played […]

Exercises and challenges

While outside everyone was doing all these exercises and athletic challenges. They were doing handstands, bridges, cartwheels, wall ups, deltoid presses, and some other stuff too! I wanted to join in on the fun and did my best to keep up. I think I did pretty good. Was able to stand on my hands for

Back in the pool

I was outside having a good time, and the pool was full of water. So it was only natural that I would end up in it. Oops. Oh well. I sure had a lot of fun there!

Playing with poppers

Apparently New Year’s Eve is one of two times a year when fireworks are used in Hawaii. So it sounds like it is going to be very loud and lively tonight. In preparation everyone thought that it would be a good idea for me to practice and be ready for all the excitement. So we

Mason’s Mantra

I had a hard time going down for my nap today. I just couldn’t fall asleep. Instead of being in the bedroom for my nap, I wanted to be with everyone else. I think I started feeling lonely and then I started to chant a mantra. I just kept saying, “Mama, Dada, Nana, Papa” over

Helping fold the laundry

I want to do my part and help around the house, so I helped Grandpa fold the laundry today. Needless to say, not much got folded.

Watching the game with Grandpa

I sat down and watched the game with Grandpa today. What game, I don’t know. It kind of just looked like a lot of people running around and falling down. But if Grandpa is into it, so am I. “Go [insert team name here]!”

Breakfast helper

Lauren has been taking care of me a lot this whole trip. She is always around to help into chairs, out of chairs, onto things, off things, into things and out of things. She leads me, she follows me, she picks me up when I fall down and always checks on me to see what

Family photos

We got all dressed up for Aunty Chris’s birthday dinner and we thought it was a good chance to get some family photos. They turned out great! We had a bunch of beautiful photos as a family! And amongst those photos Daddy and I took this photo. Classic!

Dinner at Duke’s

We all went out to Duke’s Restaurant to celebrate Aunty Chris’s birthday. Apparently this is a tradition and it was my first part taking part in it. It was so much fun! Naturally, I ate really well. I had a lot of bread rolls. Not only was there a lot of good food, but it

Picnic and playground

Grandma and Grandpa knew of a great little playground that they wanted to take me to, so we packed a lunch and headed over. It was a very big, clean, and fancy playground. There were so many things to play on! I’m glad that we came today. We had considered visiting last summer, but I

Sitting in a salad spinner

Yes, that’s me sitting in a salad spinner. Why? Well, because I found it and I thought I could fit in it. And it is fun!

Raiding the fridge

I think everyone was a bit surprised that I hadn’t tried to raid the fridge before. Well, now I know where the food is and how to get to it. What am I going to do with this knowledge?

Trains on the dining table with Mommy

Dinner is done but I’m still at the dining table. I’m only partly hoping for more food. It is mainly just to play with my trains with Mommy.

Playing on chairs

We had some time before dinner so I took it easy and played on some chairs. First I literally played on one and then I put my cards on one and played there.

Bath time car fun

Bath time is so much more fun with my bath cars! I don’t really remember being washed, but when we are done I’m all clean. That works for me. Even after all that car play in the bath, I still can’t get enough of them. I am pretty much playing with, reading about, or thinking

Walking around the shopping center

After such an exciting day I couldn’t settle down, so Mommy and Daddy took me to the shopping center to walk around and burn some energy. It worked because I got too tired to walk and wanted to be carried. And when Daddy carried me I stole his glasses again. That’s just what I do

The NerdHerd

Daddy’s high school friends (the NerdHerd) and their families stopped by today. They try to get together whenever Daddy is back on the island. I had fun when they came over last summer and when I met everyone for the first time. But I wasn’t very social then. I just kind of did my own
