Have I ever told you how much I like change?

Not in the form of pennies, dimes and nickels.  Though I do like that type of change as well. 

As a child I loved to change my room around frequently.  Sorry Mom!

Well, thank goodness!  Because we're heading for some big changes.

Change number 1.

Mike is employed!!

Change number 2.

He is working in Greenville, SC

Change number 3.

I'm a single mom. I totally respected single Mom's before.  But whew!

Change number 4+

We're moving to Greenville, SC


Yessirreeee!  I love change.  Moving . . . . not my favorite.  But I've never been disappointed.

Oh, and by the way.  This is move number 12 in 16 years of marriage.  Cross country move number 3 in 3 years.  :)


South Carolina here we come. 

UnDeR tHe SeA. . . . aNd OtHeR raNdOm ThInGs!

hEY EVERYONE, IT'S kENZIE! 

(don't be mistaken by the name at the bottom)

When my dear mother put the Hawaii pictures on, she forgot some of the very best pictures!

Here they are, but first, short story. . .

While we were there, we rented a under water camera, and if we took 800 pictures, they would burn a disc with all of our pictures. 

So. . . .

We took the very BIG challenge. 

You need to understand, took pictures of EVERYTHING!!!! 

But. . . we only took about 600.  

Now ladies and gentlemen boys and girls. . .  

Are you prepared to see some random and funny pictures!

This is the bubble fish from Nemo

(I got his autograph!)

This is the Hawaii state fish, humu­humu­nuku­nuku­āpuaʻa

( if your having trouble it's pronounced ˈhumuˈhumuˈnukuˈnukuˈwaːpuˈwɐʔə])
                                                (thank you Wikipedia)
(if your having even MORE trouble
ask a 6 year old what song Sharpay sings in High School Musical 2)

This is what happens when you let Quincey have the camera.

Just thought these would make you smile!

Here are some more Pictures of our trip on the Road to Hana

     "Can I eat this? Looks like a Oreo!"

Black Sand Beach (the name's really a joke

        because there is absolutely positively no sand on this beach, ONLY ROCKS! It was still really fun though just slightly. . . ah. . . rocky?)

So here are the Seven Sacred Pools. This name is also a joke. One because there are like 16 pools and two there is nothing sacred about them. The story went like this. . . umm. . . . they made up the name to bring in tourists. . .aaaah. . . help please? I kinda blanked out on the part where it got its name cause it was

 BORING!!!

But what you see is definitely something you don't want to blank out on!

 Lava rock beach

Snack break! My favorite!

Why does Bostons face remind me of Christmas story?

Note that he is having Shave ice not shaved!

Shave ice is like snow and has ice cream at the bottom,

Shaved ice is just chunks or ice!

BIG difference :)

 And last but not least. . . . Breath taking scenery

Well that concludes the small glimmers of summers past!

"See ya later dudes!"

once upon a summer afternoon . . .

a neighborhood game of kick ball . . . wet version.

(i loved that they

set this up all on their own,

and with the slip and slide as the

"slide" into home.)

warm memories to remember . . . in the cold of winter

This was an epic trip in the making. 

 4 years of planning (at least). 

 4 different families plus the Grandparents.

14 grandkids.

4 condos.

a week of fun times with family.

Best spot for a hammock . . . ever!

Darby didn't fully enjoy her first encounter with the ocean.

Super Sandy Baby.

Our favorite time of the day . . . sunset walks each night.

Iao Needle hike

Watching windsurfers and surfers

Super Sandy Boy!

Roadside Picinic on the Road to Hana
