After church pics



As you know, my family loves taking pictures!! Here are a few!!

Fishing....









Our family decided to join my brother Owen & his wife fishing this past Saturday.. So, we packed up the cooler with drinks & snacks, got our poles & chairs and headed down to do some fishing!! The kids had never been fishing here before & they had a really good time! From fish to eels, sting rays, puffer fish, octopus and even a shark! We saw it all and had so much fun, the kids didn't want the night to end. Here are some of our fun pix of that night....

Ephraim Update.......









Ephraim is enjoying himself in American Samoa, and to date he has been gone 2 1/2 months so far. He is playing both offense & defense on the Leone Lions football team for Leone High School. He is so far the biggest player they have (and of course he's loving it)...hehehehe. We miss him so much and can't wait to see him during x-mas this year for his visit home. I just decided to post a few pictures.......Hope you enjoy! (btw, he's # 60)

Uncle Hans & Aunty Theone visits Kona...





Uncle Hans Taala from Laie came for a quick trip for Aunty's birthday this past weekend, and also to take in a few sessions at the temple. We had them over for dinner and really enjoyed their company. This time, we let the kids cook..... they made steak & chicken on the grill, corn on the cob, crisp green beans, and garlic mashed potatoes........they did a great job! and we had a fun filled evening....

Ward Beach Day.........









Our Kona 2nd Ward Beach Day was a Great turnout this year.... not only was it the perfect day, but it's been awhile since we've had a ward activity like this in an enviornment that we can actually relax, enjoy and have fun!

There were BBQ hot dogs, hamburgers, salads & deserts.. the kids swam, played football & volleyball while the adults just sat & enjoyed one anothers company. I can't wait to have another one!!

The KONA FAIR IS HERE!!






Once a year usually in September, the EK Fernandez fair comes to town.. it's filled with rides, ono food, games & petting zoo. Well, minus the petting zoo this year, the kids had so much fun! Between the ZIPPER, PHANTOM'S EDGE & BUMPER CARS, our kids rode all they could before their tickets ran out... poor baby tony got sick on one of the rides. But aside from that, they enjoyed their corn on the cob, lemonade, caramel apples and their chance to play games..... it was fun.

Family Night.....





We are trying to make it a point to have a family night out on Friday nights... This past Friday we had dinner at the Keauhou Shopping Center, then headed over to the Outrigger Keauhou to enjoy the evenings hula competition & also to watch my niece (Tia Taala) compete.. She won 2nd place and did a fabulous job!! Love you Tia!

Cub Scout Service Project









We had Great time!! Our cub scouts volunteered to do a 'Service Project' which included cleaning, picking up trash & weeding at Kealakekua Bay... Our day began early at 6am, and the boys hiked down the valley as the parents took a double hauled canoe ride to meet them at them at the Captain Cook Monument. There, they worked for about an hour or so and then we swam and snorkled, while the men caught fish & octopus to show the kids how to clean & eat it... the sun was shining, the water was clear & warm and everyone (including myself) had a fantastic time!!! at the end of our day although we were sunburned, tired & sore we had big smiles on our faces from ear to ear!! IT WAS A GREAT DAY!!
