Happy Memorial Day

Happy Memorial Day!

And a thank you to all you Military soldiers for sacrificing yourself for our country.

Mahalo!!

Memorial Day was spent at the Grandparent Elton's house with lots of cousins running around.  It was a fabulous, beautiful day.  It couldn't have been better.  Except if Shaun was there with us.

First order of the day was to go for a swim with the Bug King handing out nectar for all the little ones.

After a quick rinse our kids were treated to a spa service by grandpa Bill.  Totally awesome style.

There were lots of bikes riding back and forth.

Once the kids worked up a good appetite Grandma Chelle had a wonderful BBQ feast ready for us.  Hotdogs, Hamburgers, potato salad, fruit salad with lemon whip cream, a variety of chips, and rootbeer/cream soda.

The bubble machine was a huge hit.  The kids played with that thing forever!

Obie eating the bubbles is probably the Mann way to do things.

Gathering wood for the fire pit so we can roast those marshmallows.

Totally Posers.

All 10 grand kids, and happy as can be with Grandma Chelle's brownies.

The newest edition to our Elton Family, little Miss Hazel.  Only 4 weeks old.  So precious.  So wish I have another one.

Gorgeous!

Marshmallow Monster!

Peter started this new "tradition" of spinning the kids on the tire swing with his own flair to it.  Then he caps it off with a magic show.  Totally cool.

Homemade Hill Ride

Finding joy and happiness in little things is truly a fabulous idea.

Shaun came up with this idea to ride the kid's old plastic tricycle down the hill, and the kids just absolutely loved it.

Ian's 1st Soccer Pratice

I found a sign up for a Mini Soccer team for kids 4-5 years old.  I just had to sign Ian up for it.  Plus it was an awesome deal, just $20 that includes a t-shirt for the boy and a parent, and a sweet little Nerf soccer ball for them to practice on.  He had his first practice at Alimanu, Hawaii and just was the cutest thing ever.  The program is just to teach the kids the basic of soccer, to just give them a bit of an idea what it is all about.  Of course the next time we went he didn't want to do it anymore.  We'll keep trying, no rush, but it was still fun to see him running around with the other kids.  A great preview for whats to come.

Like father like son.  Notice how big the shirt is on Ian?  It was the smallest they had, and it didn't help that he was also the smallest in the group, but still so adorable!

Listening to the coach

They are all running over to the coach

Can't have soccer without the team pile up and cheer.  Ian is in the middle.

He did that all on his own.  He is one cool dude.
