David at 22 months.  What a cutie.

Ben at 8 months… Hey, he’s a cutie too!

Now you can all see why I call Ben a chunk.  Carrying this dude around is all I need to keep my arms in shape.

David and Ben went trick or treating with friends Dillon and Lauren this year.  David was a dinosaur, Ben a lobster, Dillon a monkey and Lauren a butterfly.

The usual suspects…….

Vicious lobster on the prowl.

Thank goodness the monkey survived the attack.

Waiting for the rain to let up so we can go get candy already!!!!

Sharing the loot.

We celebrated Lisa’s 30th birthday in Maui.  Chuck bought her an ice cream cake, because we all know how much Lisa loves ice cream!!

The day before her birthday Lisa and I took a sunrise downhill bikeride down Maui’s Haleakala Crater.  I thought it would be a great way to begin her third decade here on planet earth. 

Below is an image of Lisa and I waiting for sunrise. I think the combination of the cold and getting up at 2am revved up our giggle boxes pretty hard.  Hopefully we didn’t annoy the other sunrise viewers too much.

Warming up on the way down.

We took a long time on the way down stopping to see all the sights.  By far we were the last ones back to the bike shop.

Beautiful Upcountry Maui!  I love it!

We had a great time in Maui, especially with “Auntie Lisa” along for the ride.

Below are images of us at the Maui Ocean Center.  I think out of everyone Ben enjoyed it the most.  He was squealing with delight nearly the whole time we were there.

Lisa atop the beautiful Haleakala Crater.

We forgot how cold it can get up there (it is over 10,000 ft.) so we had to improvise with the children’s attire.  David got a kick out of wearing Auntie Lisa’s sweater.

Lisa and me on the North Shore of Maui. Good times!

Too hard to resist…This was taken at about 6 months.  It’s hard for me to look at this picture without thinking he resembles a certain German leader with that prune mustache of his….

David had a blast pretending to be a fireman at the firestation tour with our Mom’s Club.  Too cute!

While Lisa was visiting she showed me how to finish what I call the “magic hands” pictures.  Being a total amature of course, I am pretty proud of them!
