Cute vinyl signs

So Hina's (Kellee, my sister) friend, is starting to do vinyl signs and I thought they were pretty cute, so I decided to put some pictures up and help her out with advertising her stuff. Take a look at some more of her stuff, you won't be disappointed -http://bradshawwil.blogspot.com/

The many going on's of Wehilani

Well these past few days, Wehilani has really started to think on her own and I have realized how much she knows what is going on and pays attention to what is going on around her. Here are a few stories to illustrate.

The other day she asked me for some cheese, so I got her some cheese and she took it, walked out of the kitchen and turned back around and said "tank you mommy". I almost fell over of shock, most of the time I have to say "what do you say" and then she says it, but not this time.

Today when I put her down for her nap, I had her give Gray a hug and a kiss and noggin. Well when I put her in bed, she folded her arms and said "pay", which means pray. Well she must have thought she was going to bed for the night and it was time to say our family prayer, so crazy how much they know what is going on.

Yesterday, after I got the call from Gray saying that he still had a job, I turned the tv off and told Wehilani that we were going to say a prayer to thank Heavenly Father that Gray was still employed. Well when she walked out of the room, I decided that I was just going to say it without her. Well at the end of the prayer she came out of her room carrying her little stool. Well, when we say our family prayers at the end of the night, she sits on her little stool, so ofcourse, she needed her little stool to sit on to say a prayer.

Sorry about the bragging, mommy moment, but I had to do it, she is just way to cute.

Here are some pictures from our trip to Las Vegas

Halloween 2008

This year's Halloween started last week Saturday. Old Navy was having a Freaky Fun Day, where the kids could come dressed up and get prizes and get things really cheap, yeah for me. Then on Wednesday night, the YW put on our Trunk or Treat at the ward and we decorated the back of the truck with gravestones and lights. I thought it turned at pretty well, seeing as I did it about 3 hours before it was supposed to start. Then Halloween came along and Gray's office had a Halloween thing for the kids. I didn't think that they were going to have, Trick or Treating, I thought that they were going to have a little parade, have some treats and we would be on our way. Well, apparently whoever wanted to decorate or hand out candy from their offices could. We went to 2 floors and ended up with a bunch of candy. Later on that night we took her out in our neighborhood and that was fun, she got some more candy and we got to meet more of our neighbors. All in all it was alot of fun, with the execption of me actually making her a costume and her not wearing it. Everytime I tried to put it on her, she was not having it. We ended up wearing the Skunk costume, Aunty Kay and Aunty Nessa got her, which worked out better seeing as it was a little cooler and the skunk costume kept her pretty warm.

Our trip to Roloff Farms

Well we made it out to Roloff Farms. We got there first thing Saturday morning when it opened and good thing we did, we had to wait about 15 minutes to get from the street to the parking lot. By the time we left people were waiting about an hour to get from the street to the parking lot and it was backed up about 2 miles down the road. It was fun and we will be going back next year.

Andy, you Goonie!!!

For Labor Day we decided that since we are so close to where Goonies was filmed, we would take a trip out to the coast to see where they filmed it.

Our first stop was to The Astoria Column. In the pictures that I had seen, I thought that it was small, but when we got there, it was huge. Apparently you can walk inside it to the top of the column and take in the great view, but that day it was closed for renovations. With that said we took a few more pictures, figured out where we wanted to go next and then headed on down to one of the forts that Lewis & Clark had build and stayed at. I didn't get any pictures of the fort, but that is okay, it wasn't worth the 6.00 that we paid.

After that we decided to get something to eat and then go and find the Goonie house. In our search for the Goonies house, we found the jail that one of the Fratelli brothers broke out of. We tried to find the pizza place that Chunk smashes the pizza and drink on the window, but we couldn't find it. So we found the house and while doing it, we found the school that Kindergarden Cop was filmed at. To get to the Goonie house, we had park the car and walk a little ways up to the house, while doing so, we ran into some other people that were doing the same thing that we were doing (we aren't the only Goonie nerds!!). We got up there and we saw Data's house and the fence that Chunk did the truffle shuffle at, it was so cool.

The trip was a good one, the drive to the coast was amazing. If you are ever out this way, you should definately make it one of your stops to see.
