Friday was Ethan's last day of 2nd grade. Oh my goodness, we have a 3rd grader! He has had a great year, well, half a year at Hanalei School. His teacher, Mrs. Deblin, is a wonderful teacher and we feel so lucky that Ethan was able to be in her class.
Aloha!
We all got our hair cut this morning. Ethan went first, then Erick, then me, and then Izzie. She has been talking about haircuts since the Ethan & Daddy had theirs done several weeks ago....our friend Jackie was kind enough to do all the cutting.
Izzie got to stand up on the chair, something she always wants to do,
but isn't supposed to.
I love this smile!
Checking out the new do in the mirror and not sure what she thinks.
What a cute girl you are Izzie!
Aloha!
May Day is a big thing in Hawaii! All the schools put on a huge program. They have all the Hawaiian "Royalty" there representing all the islands, and all the classes perform some kind of Hawaiian dance/music. It really is a great celebration! All the schools on Kauai had their May Day Celebration last Friday, May 22nd. I am sure Hanalei School's was the best!
This is the whole second grade.
Izzie patiently waiting for the program to start.
A boy and girl from each grade were chosen to be the royalty.
Here is the 2nd grade doing their performance.
Ethan is playing the pu'ili, and he did an awesome job!
After the program, we checked Ethan out of school, (which is the tradition) and we ate at the school, Kalua pork with cabbage. It was a great day!
We are so grateful to be here on Kauai.
Aloha!
I was making our bed and Izzie came in quietly, like this:
She is always making us laugh! She is a character!
Aloha!
Getting used to the water....
Wait for it....
Now, jump!
Aloha!

Ethan's party was a lot of fun. He invited his entire school class...not everyone came, but we had a good group of kids. We played games, decorated t-shirts, and played/ swam in the water. After all of those festivities, Ethan opened presents...
And of course, there was cake!
We tried to light the candle, but the wind did not cooperate,
so we just sang to the birthday boy.
I think this was Izzie's favorite part of the party!
And of course, there was some bubble blowing!
In preparation for Ethan's birthday party Izzie and Daddy filled up some water balloons. Izzie is really good at filling them up...she has a system.
She is very methodical.
She loves filling them up...
and up, and up...
Aloha!
