Family Adventures

Spending time with the family is one thing I really miss when I am in Hawaii so we have been taking advantage of it while we are here. On Sunday we had a big birthday/halloween/meet Sol party. It was really fun, Sol enjoyed spending time with his Great Great Grandma Gladys.

Seth and I tried to introduce the art of pumpkin carving to Sol. Seth got really into it breaking out the sketch pad and everything before even touching the pumkin. Sol and I finished carving ours before Seth even got started. As you can see also, Sol has started to stand! I cant believe how fast he is growing.

Last week we took Sol to the Space Needle. It was so fun, we at lunch at the top where they have this beautiful resturant that overlooks Seattle. Sol was a bit irreverant for such a fancy place(yelling and dumping over glasses) but besides that he did very well.

Home at Last

So the summer is finally over and Seth is done working! Because work ended in such an odd time in the year( middle of the school year), we decided to stay with my family in Washington for the winter until school starts up in January. It is so nice being home, Sol is loving it too, especially because he seems to have made two new best friends. Ruby seems very protective of Sol and is very gentle with him, howver Nola is another story. I think she thinks that Sol is taking all the attention away from her. She leaves the room whenever he comes in and whenever he trys to pet her or talk to her she will turn around and face her back to him. What a diva! But Sol doesnt seem to get the hint and still thinks of her as a friend. Here are some pictures of them getting aquainted. These are just for you Marni!



See how cute Ruby is with her, she gives him kisses ever so gently on the nose. very precious

Sol has finally mastered the art of sitting up on his own. Here he is displaying his talent.

One morning, Seth and I decided to make a music video with Sol, he played the part of a ninja. The video is not done yet but here is a sneak peak of the outfit.

We try to go to the pool everyday, there is not much to do in Texas...

Sol likes to wake up at 6:30 every morning. We have tried everything to make him sleep in, like keeping him up late or not letting him have as many naps. But nothing works, he is always ready for the day as soon as the sun rises. And when Sol wakes up we all have to get up, as you can see from the video.Talking to Grandma on the phone

Captiva Island

Seth took these pictures, isnt he good. I was so proud of him when I saw them. On Sunday we took a drive to Captiva Island, I have no idea where it is except that it took 3 hours. It was so fun to be together as a family and just relax. Sol had a great time as you could see. There were so many more cute photos of him but I still have not got him a bathing suit and my dad told me its not a good idea to expose him that much on the internet so I refrained from putting the rest up. I hope you are proud of me dad...

Fort Lauderdale Beach This beach reminded me alot of Waikiki, it actually was quite nice compared to the other beaches we have gone to in the past. There was actually a tide that went in and out ane the bottom of the ocean was sandy not seaweedy.
I thought this was so cute, his little plumbers butt...just like that man who visited our utah apartment...

Sol took a nap after a quick dip in the ocean, he was so tired on the way over but refused to take a nap. As soon as we arrived at the beach the bright sun and ocean breeze put him right to sleep. I was afraid he might get burned lying out in the sun and there was no shade to be found so I covered him up with my clothes and his little beach hat.

Sol loved the ocean, he was mesmorized by the waves and shells beneath us. I was so proud of how brave he was, he is going to be my little surfer just like his daddy.
