Growing up...

Will is sure growing up! Yesterday he helped me transform his crib into a toddler bed. Boy, was he a big helper! He found his toy hammer and would "inspect" everything I did. Once I finished and triple checked everything, he decided to try it out. For the next 1/2 hr he climbed on and off of his bed. It was priceless!
Now, he thinks he's hot stuff because he can get up and down from the couch and his bed.

Last night he wanted to wear his dirty shorts (which he took out of the dirty clothes hamper). So, he sat down and put them on... except he put both legs in one side! When he stood up (to pull them up) he realized he couldn't move. He stood there saying, "Mom!" and pointing down.

Getting dressed

Will's action shot... slow motion falling. (Don't worry, he was not harmed)

I put the hat on Elmo and Will took it off immediately to wear it himself.

The Island Fair

We went to the Micronesian Island Fair on Saturday and it was a blast! Very loud and smell that would tickle anyone's nose. It sure wore Will out! I hope you enjoy the pictures :)

This Caraboa jumped in my hand and wanted to come home with me.

This baby Caraboa scared James (he didn't see it and nearly stepped on it).

Wood crafts made from Ifit trees... just beautiful!

These guys danced and entertained everyone!

Getting his face painted (he thought the guy was going to feed him and kept opening his mouth)

James' Birthday!

For James' birthday I tried to capture a piece of his childhood that had been lost... It took me awhile to find the right ones, but I did it! I got him two Alf stuff animals- one in a chef outfit and the other stands 18 inches tall! The look on his face was priceless.

When it came cake time, I decided to make one all from scratch! I made a dark chocolate cake with coconut pecan frosting... it was so yummy! (And pretty, too)
James had chose for all of us to go to Underwater World Aquarium and then attempt eating out at Hard Rock Cafe. It was great! Will did awesome and loved the sharks swimming all around him in the tunnel.

This fish was over 450lbs!!

The blow fish kept following me around the tunnel

Who needs toys????

When you live here and you make everything your toy!? I just love Will's blooming imagination and when he's being "Big helper Will".

Every time I take out the trash Will gets the new bag and tries his best to put it in the garbage can.

Beautiful sunset at Two Lover's Point

He finds it funny to play with his nose.
