HAPPY HALLOWEEN !!!

2008-10-30T12:55:00.000-07:00

Since Tawnya's school is closed tomorrow, they had their Halloween Parade today. Mom was without a car and so rode the bus to school. What fun! Here are the pictures I managed to get of Tawnya and her classmates all dressed up.

Notice, the 2 pictures at home before the bus
came; her breakfast habits haven't changed.
Yep, a tortilla with cheese while she watches TV.
It just so happens that we were watching
Peter Pan with "Princess Tiger Lily." We had
to get her geared up for her Halloween
character.

Obama, Palin and McCain were even
there for the parade.

Mom also got an education about
colored hair spray. I thought it just
colored hair. Oh, no! It also makes
hair very stiff. So... after I had sprayed Tawnya's hair black, black, black, I tried to brush it so I could part it into braids. Well, as you might guess, Tawnya was not very happy about that. We managed, somehow, and she looked great as "Princess Tiger Lily."

I can hardly wait to try and wash all that black hair spray out. ooooo--it could get very UGLY!

In case you were wondering, Tawnya's extra fat teachers were dressed as "old Grandma's." I'm sure no offense was meant to the real fluffy grandmas of the world.

Oh! Tawnya!!!!!

Tawnya continues to keep us entertained. This is what she did with an old pillow while she was up way too early one morning; we were ignoring her and hoping maybe she would go back to bed. Didn't happen. This is how mom found her when it was time to be getting up.

No more nursery at the Stephenson house; it's now Tony's study. Didn't he do a great job?

Exactly ten and 1/2 years from the day she was born, Tawnya moved out of the upstairs nursery and into the downstairs. She is a big girl now. It took mom (with a lot of help from dad) a couple of months to get all the painting and fixing up done before her downstairs room was ready for her to move in.

Winter is HERE!

Boston wasn't sure he was excited about the cold cold snow, but he thought it was fun to stamp the snow off his shoes.

Candy, Candy, Candy!

Boston loved Halloween and he learned a new word... "CANDY!" It sure doesn't sound anything like candy, but it's unmistakable what he wants when he says it! He was a very adorable Draco Malfoy and enjoyed trick-or-treating to a few houses. He did have to stop every few steps to pull candy out of the bucket only to be told to "put it back in."

"Dr. Tawnya" had a great Halloween. She was in a parade at school and went trick-or-treating with mom, dad, Becky, Stef (Tinkerbell), and Boston (Draco Malfoy).

Although we have both been very busy with school and work, we have made some time to play. This picture was from a hike that we did, not to far from our little shack. We figured we needed a picture of a bamboo forest to try and confuse everyone as to whether or not we were already in China. Pictures from China will probably only include millions of people and lots of buildings. This picture is actually on the way up to Manoa Falls. What a beautiful place to live! We are both enjoying the great weather and the sunshine, although both of us are looking forward to coming home to snow, and skiing, at Christmas time. We Love You All!!

IT'S A GIRL!

Just thought I would give everyone the update. The Knowles family is soon to include a little baby GIRL! Fun, fun, fun.

4-Four-Wheeling and great vistas.

If you look closely, you can see the roof of the Stephenson cabin.

Big Boy Boston

Boston is getting so big and loves to run around, ride his bike at grandma's, and dance to music. He will be 18 months old at the end of this month.

Happy Birthday MOM!

Mom had a great 50th birthday and even got a "Happy Birtday" in the Hawaiian sands from Rob.

We thought this would be a great way to let everyone know what is going on with our little family as it continues to change and grow. Enjoy.
