Sam's HS Graduation June 2015

 We drove up to NY to celebrate my nephew graduating from HS! We are so proud of him. He will be playing for University of Albany football which is a division 1 college! WE couldn't be more proud of this stellar young man!! We looked pretty junk yard doggish transporting chairs and tables from church to my parents house! It was a rainy day the day of his party but all of the good food, fun and laughter chased any gray skies away!!


 Yep many money and candy leis were made! It's tradition!! I made it tradition when my youngest brother Keawe graduated!





Relationships are one of the most prized possessions that you can take with you! They are one of my most important memories that I want to cherish and hold onto! I simply adore this picture of my mom and me! I wanted to have a picture with her and she started hiding behind that very see through food screen! She has such an amazing giving heart! I'm so glad and proud she is my mom!!
 
 
This is my cousin Dani! She is simply amazing. She has gained and lost not only in weight but in life experiences.  She is a true treasure and when I speak with her she always makes me feel better about myself, life and I think that is what true friendship is. They make you better and stronger when you leave them or say goodbye! Til' we meet again cousin! BTW, she is a twin and I adore her sister just as much!

 
This picture is a true treasure! My Beauty and Warrior are missing because Beauty is at BYU Hawaii and Warrior is a married young man who has to work but I know their hearts and love are with their cousin!


 I do not have many photos of just me and my parents and this is definitely a treasured one!! I love them and am so grateful for the childhood and the rearing and continued love that they have always given to me and my family. Our lives aren't perfect but some how the imperfections of it all makes life that much more sweeter!

  We have an incredible video of me and my children, nieces and nephews playing this game! It is called Bean Boozled and when the jelly beans are good they are good and when they are BAD they are really really Baaaad!!! earwax, skunk, rotten egg, grass, diaper wipes, etc!! UGHHHH, I literally ran to the sink spitting it out and gagging when I bit into skunk!
