Skills

I read photography books over break and picked up some wonderful skills, now I will have to put them all into the new camera. Here I was working on focal point. The focus was on the guitar and everything else was blurred, although you can still tell what is going on. spokane, wa 2007

Lashes

As we waited in the car for the shoppers to come back, I found that her eye lashes were looking very long and beautiful in the light of the van, so I took this shot of her watching her toy, just out of range. spokane, wa 2007

Bowling Shadows

We had a lot of fun at the bowling alley last night. With my wonderful skills I learned in Advanced Bowling 101, I was able to come in 2nd both games. I was also working on my photographing skills. I love how I was Abel to get my mom and her shadow in this shot. spokane, wa 2007

Kiholo...not a problem!

She was working on her hula moves as well as jumping in the jumper. She's got her first move down and she even picked a spot on the wall to look at. Kumu would be so proud. spokane, wa 2007

Talking About It

We talked about it for days and finally it came.....SNOW! It was wonderful and covered everything for days. It was still snowing when I left. It's my sis and leialoha hanging out in their snow clothing. Leialoha got her outfit from Uncle Mark, who said it was from Italy according to the tag. spokane, wa 2007

Thanks Grandma

She sends money every year in a form of a check and I usually forget to cash it or spend it, but this year was different. I got them before she even sent the money. I've had a brown pair all year and have loved them, so I thought why not get a black pair, so tha's what I did. Thanks again Grandma. kent, wa 2007

Who Will Win?

They ran with them and tried to win, but to no avail. The statue still took first place. spokane, wa 2007

Intensity

She looked through the ads with much vigor in trying to figure out what stores had the best deal for this morning, although I think you would have found her in her bed as all of the things on her list were being bought by others. fed.way, wa 2007

We had a great time taking pictures, yet this was one of the only smiles we got from Leialoha. spokane, wa 2007

These girls know how to walk and they did it all over Spokane. I did too, but someone had to take the picture. spokane, wa 2007

What He Fought For

When he was in the service we were yet to be around, but he fought for us and for our future and all that we have now. And although he isn't here now, we still think of him and wish he was still here with us. To see our kids grow, to be at our weddings, to take care of grandma, to make us laugh, and give us hugs. belgrade, mt. 2006

Her Hair

Always is pulled back in a bun or braided. It's very unassuming, until she pulls it down and brushes it and then it is big and beautiful. spokane, wa 2007

Those Little Feet

They just keep growing and growing. spokane, wa 2007

Confidential to Baby Girl- don't ever let your mama tell you that you have kankels. You are a growing girl and everything will become proportional.

Her Auntie

She came and lived with my family when my sister was in high school and from there a bond was formed. She has been to my sister's wedding and now out to see her place. She is a kick in the pants and always keeps us in stiches. spokane, wa 2007

Her New Husband

She told her sister, she was coming to the mainland to find a husband and that she did. He was a little old and stiff for her, but I guess that is what she likes. spokane, wa 2007

Just A Little Smile

All that they are tried this weekend couldn't make their grandbaby smile for her first Christmas card. spokane, wa 2007

Baby GIrl

She's getting so big and is smiling like crazy as long as she is fed and well rested. spokane, wa 2007
