Repainted the Learning Tower

I repainted K's Learning Tower a couple weeks ago. I originally used acrylic paint, but it did not hold up against all the cleaning that the tower required. This time I used a BM semi-gloss, and covered it with polyurethane twice!

This is what it used to look like after I got done sanding it.

One side painted in a soft brown color, to match the kitchen.

K uses this learning tower almost every day! It is such a nice thing to have if you have a toddler and love to do activities in the kitchen! Here it is finished. It's hard to see in this picture, but I'm so glad I got this done. He's probably going to get another 3 years of good use out of it! Love this thing!

Happy New Years Eve!!!

Happy New Years! We are celebrating by making our own pizza's tonight! K has been asking to do this for a couple weeks now:



The action shots were a little difficult to capture!

K helped Mommy & Daddy make their pizzas!

Mommy's pizza! We made a total of 5 small pizzas!
We also added sliced olives after they came out of the oven.
K really enjoyed being a chef for the evening. We will definitely be doing this again!
Happy New Years!

Playing with Christmas Toys

K has been playing with his new toys the last couple days:

Daddy set up K's crane the day after Christmas!
This crane has provided hours of fun!



This is Johnny the Skull Skill & Action Game! It is a projected light that appears on your walls and the player must shoot it with the gun, but you only have a small window of time before it stops and appears somewhere else...you have to catch it. It must be played in the dark of course.


K has enjoyed this math game too. It has a huge set of dice. He is still too young for math so we look for numbers.



K received a Christmas card from Grandpa in the mail today. We took him to Target where he selected these games for his Christmas & Birthday presents from Grandpa!

He LOVES them!

One more precious moment from Christmas Day

Santa brought K a light that is on a head band. On Christmas Day, K turned the light on and put it on his head. Then walked over to the fireplace and said" Santa?....Santa?". He was using the light to look up the chimney to see if he could see Santa. He wanted to make more cookies for Santa in hopes that he would come back.

 
 
 
 

Birthday Party or Play in the Snow?

Mommy and Daddy could not decided on what to plan for K's birthday party. We decided to let K choose on what he wanted to do since it is his birthday. He got to choose from a birthday party or going to the snow for a day of fun. He didn't even think.....he just answered so quickly...THE SNOW!!

So that is what we will do!

Makena Cove & Anniversary Present 2014

We got married at Makena Cove two years ago. We got to go back to the location of our wedding this past August when we went on vacation to Maui with Grandma & Grandpa!

This beach is also known as " Secret beach". This beach use to be private property. It was property of the home to the left of it, but the owner thought it was too beautiful to keep to himself so he opened it up to the public. This is the opening you must walk through to get to the beach.

I love this place!
 
We got each other an anniversary present while we where on Maui.
We had looked at several Tiki's from 3 different vendors, and finally decided on this one!
The Tiki is of Lono , he is one of four Hawaiian gods. He is the god of peace.
This is the gentleman that made it. He was kind enough to carve the name of the God, his name, and the date into the bottom of the Tiki. This Tiki now hangs in our home on display.


 
 
We love our new Tiki of Lono!
