A smorgasboard of posts...

To finally catch up of course.

Here are some posts to catch you (the few that actually read my posts) up on what has been going on with my family. I have been so bad at posting lately that so much has happened but I am not posting them all because that would be just way too much. So I picked a few and here we go:

Oh and again trouble with the spacing between pictures. I think I posted to many pics.

So again........WHATEVERS!!!

For Dezi's birthday we did go to Farrell's and celebrate on the day of his birthday but also did
a little celebration with just family at the Deliz home on Halloween. It was so much fun but too
much work. Gil and I said we won't be doing that again.

Dezi with some of his presents.
(and he did trick or treat as skeleton because yes I waited last minute to get a costume and that was all walmart had to fit him)....(that wasn't ugly)

Some of the cousins.

a little more of the cousins.

Sorry Chalei....
Okay, one of the games to go along with the car theme of his party was to roll tires as fast as
you can to a cone and turn around and come back. It was a team effort. Well I should have
known this was going to happen to someone......my niece Keely is rolling super fast (She's 4 by the way)
she makes it to the cone, is coming back and boom....she trips rolls over the tire looking like superwoman with arms and legs out, lands on the floor and the tire rolls over her. It was classic and funny. Her mother and I were laughing so hard. She didn't care though. (Good thing)

Okay Thanksgiving was at the Naluai's this year and it was amazing!!

In the words of Rachel Ray....YUM-O!!!

the girls playing around.

All the cousins from Gil's side. There's more boys missing and like 1 girl.

Do a funny...

Hanging out with the Seattle Arquero's.

Day at the beach...

Cutie pie cousin Tiare...

We buried Gil.

Took our family Christmas pictures. They came out okay. But what can you expect with a 2 year old.

Walked around the Kapolei lights (one cul-de-sac, 5 houses don't know if its quite worth it but they went all out.....like ALL OUT!!)

Yes this is a Heineken Christmas tree but they decorated it and had it light up to music that was playing. All 5 houses really decorated their whole yard including houses with everything imaginable. One yard had 6 different trees decorated differently with a ceramic little village thing with I think close to a 100 of them, a life size gingerbread house, arches, the words Merry Christmas in huge blocks, with snowmen and other things around, complete with a bench to take pictures with your family, Ferris wheels, just all kinds. I can't even think of them all.

And then just hung around. Dezi is starting to get into Gil's car obsession (Oh NO!!) If Gil goes outside, which is where he has been for a while since we bought a "new" used car for Gil to drive in when I take my car and he has to fix it up safe so Dezi can ride, he has to go outside and watch. It's cute though now cause since Dezi got a little race car for his birthday, he "works" on that while Gil works on the real thing.

It's circus time...

A long time ago the circus came to town. I don't how long for and even forgot when. The about time was probably like........3 maybe 4 months ago? We had a totally awesome time and wouldn't have even known if Gil's friend didn't tell us.

Gil had talked to his friend earlier in the day and asked what they were doing? He said nothing much but that they were going to the circus that night. Circus? What circus? So we looked it up on line and lo and behold it was their last weekend here. We last minute decided to go and take Dezi and it was awesome. There are too many pictures to even decide which ones to post so I will tell you the gist of what happened and maybe later post a video.

They had....

of course the man on the flying trapeze, clowns, a couple that did a REAL shooting arrow trick/s (like the real shooting trigger arrow thingy), girls and a guy that spun on ropes, a balancing man that also spun metal 3-D shapes on his chin, a contortionist (spelling?) , a Chinese man that spun those super expensive vases on his head, a guy riding a motorcycle on a rope and the girl doing tricks from a small trapeze hanging from the motorcycle and other things that I just can't remember. It was all so good and Dezi was amazed...

As were we.

This pic is during half time but they still had everything out and was setting up for the next acts but this is how he looked the whole night. Just staring.

These are the girls and the guy is in the blue of course that twirled on these fabric things. It was super beautiful. And one girl from this circus is from Hawaii. She graduated from Punahou. Woop, woop! I love this circus and would totally go see it again. They were supposed to have animals but ours was the last showing that night and I guess by then the animals weren't cooperating. Or so they said.
