Jeremy and Irene!

 

Jeremy and I have been married for almost 14 years and the only pictures we have of each other are from our wedding day. We finally decided to have our own photo shoot at Ko Olina which is one of my favorite locations to shoot at. A  special thanks to my good friend Alyssa for taking these pictures for us. Here are some of my favorites……

Happy Valentines Day!

 

In honor of Valentines day I made my girls pancakes. Things just taste better in the shape of a heart!

It amazes me that even though my husband is 9000 miles away he can still make me feel like the most special girl on the planet! Today I was surprised with two dozen Strawberry Chocolate Roses from Edible Arrangements. Yum!!

Happy Birthday Kaylee!

Every year I try to make a cake that fits the occasion. This year my daughter Kaylee wanted to go ice skating at the Ice Palace and since it is winter, I made her a snowman cake. Once again I found the design in Family Fun Magazine.

I took the girls to see the City of Lights in downtown Waikiki where we met a guy named Gene Tamashiro who was making these amazing balloon sculptures for donations.

My day on the other side of the camera!

This is an old abandoned church at the North Shore that I have been wanting to take pictures at so once again I asked my husband to help me out and he did a great job!  Here are some of my favorites……

Shark Adventure!

 

Since we’ve been living here Jeremy and I have been wanting to swim with the sharks on the North Shore, some of our friends have done it and they all said it was amazing! Well we finally went and it was one of the best things we have done since we’ve been here. If you are vacationing here I absolutely recommend taking this tour with North Shore Adventure. We couldn’t have picked a better day for this trip. The boat launched at 8 a.m as it started to get warm outside and the water was perfectly calm. Three miles from the North Shore the boat reached a buoy and before the engines were off there must have been 15-20 Galapago Sharks swimming around the boat, some as big as 10 feet! We were a little nervous at first when we got inside the cage but it was amazing! The entire experience lasted about 2 hours and we would absolutely do it again.
