Getting ready...

Spent the last few hours thinking about what we have to look forward to in the upcoming months. I realized that there's quite a bit of preparation that needs to take place for these events, both big and small:

• Kiale's Birthday! He'll be 7 on the 14th, next Monday. We're having his party at Stewart Heights pool. He's wanted it there all year! Finding a date that fit's all the kids is IMPOSSIBLE! Still haven't figured out what we're getting him for his birthday. Leaning towards an electric scooter. Just another way for him to acquire bruises...
• Maia's Birthday! She'll be 12 on the 30th. Her party won't come until after her trip back to Hawai'i. She's the easiest to shop for because she usually wants just clothes. This year, she's getting a Zune. She's super excited.
• Kalani's tournament this weekend. It's USSSA States. I hope that they do good. She's excited. The whole ohana will be there, so SERA better be ready for the roudiness!
• Kalani's camp in Montana. Not much to prepare for there. The crappy thing is that she'll be missing her brothers' birthday. He'll understand.
• Maia's camp. She's super excited!!! I think that what thrills her the most is being away from all the little kids :)
• ROUGHRIDERS!!! Kiale starts football on August 1st. We can't wait! Neither can Iwa... or Junior... or Asu...
• Maia's Birthday party. She'll be gone for almost a month, so we'll be celebrating when she comes back from Hawai'i. She just wants a big bash at the house with all the family and friends. Those are the most fun anyway...
• The photoshoot that I won from TANYA!!! I'm SO excited about this. Trying to think of where we should do it. This will probably happen in September before we head home.
• FINALLY, our trip home to the BIG ISLAND! Got the material for my dress yesterday from my cousin Desiree in Hawai'i. It's really pretty. I am soooo excited to be back at my Mom and Dad's Hale, just relaxing with nothing to worry about. Once the wedding is over on Saturday, it's a whole week of nothing to do but CRUZE!!!

Did I use the word "excited" enough in this posting or what???? Ha, ha!!!
