Lavaman 2012 Packet Pick Up

After many trials a tribulations, race day is finally upon us. Last year after Patti and I finished our Lavaman together, we invited Dad to join us this year in a relay. He had to think about it and discuss it with Sue but after all was said and done it is race time! It is amazing to think how far not only Dad, but how far each of us have come respectively on this journey. We have all grown in so many ways! I don't think I have ever seen dad with such excitement in this way. It was a true blessing to share in this experience with him. I can't express my gratitude enough for how many family members and friends have helped in this process, each playing their own special role. Thank you so much!

Registration

This was the first time (over the weekend), that Dad told the story, and of course, I started crying like a little baby!




Finding friends along the way!






I will cherish this shot for years to come!



More friends!


Dad wanted a quick glass of wine prior to orientation, so we headed down to the Lagoon Grill.
I love the pose with the race number...
Is this proper pre race etiquette?


Patti was sticking with her Green Tea.
Great Job sis!

Pre race dinner with friends and family!

MMMM...

Lavaman 2012 Carb Load Dinner

1ST ANNUAL LAVAMAN PASTA PARTY AT LAVA LAVA BEACH CLUB

BEAUTIFUL ANAEHOOMALU BAY • WAIKOLOA BEACH RESORT


If you can't tell it was a bit windy but the atmosphere was fantastic. This was the first year for this event, next year I am sure it will be packed. The food was great and the entertainment was even better!




LT Smooth
Great island music!

Pre race wine anyone...?

My husband is so sweet, he got all of us these beautiful, shell lei's that everyone complimented on all weekend, as well as this cute little koa wood Lavaman!
He is always so thoughtful in that way!
I love you baby!


From Tex's Eye's

I love when Tex has the camera because he has a very interesting eye for photos. I love when I do the download and there are just random shots. It is like I am seeing the trip through his eye's and sometimes it almost appears to be a completely different trip... another one of the wonderful things I love about my husband! Here are just a few.

Happy Birthday My Love!

Today was daddy's birthday. Mommy and I stopped by the store to get him a card and a Hot Wheel truck, little did mommy know there was a spider in the trailer... YUCK!




Mommy got daddy some Hot Wheels herself, a Real gift card, and a massage from Panache.

Auntie got daddy dinner and a movie : )


After dinner daddy and I played with our trucks.


Here is the spider that mommy does not like.



We don't get cakes anymore, we stopped at Lilly Jane's and got daddy some cupcakes.



Daddy blew out his candle and we sang him happy birthday.




Hope you had a great birthday daddy!
