This is most of the people that arrived in Vegas for the reunion. 
There were still more family members that weren’t able to attend

My dad’s family. 
Only missing 2 people in this photo (Leilani & Jon)

And here are the 4 grandchildren of my parents.  (Kalani, Mason, Kalea, Jaedyn)
They were finally all together…although we woke Kalea up for this photo and she wasn’t happy about that.

Aunt Lucy & Kalani. 
Kalani is named after her and was very excited to meet her.  (Lucy’s middle/hawaiian name is Kalani)

When you get a bunch of Hawaiians together you know you are going to eat PLENTY of good food.  A break down of our week in Vegas where it was at least 110′ everyday:

Saturday: fly in & buffet
Sunday: BBQ & swim
Monday: BBQ & swim
Tuesday: BBQ, swim, Adventure Dome
Wednesday: Children’s Museum, buffet & shop
Thursday: BBQ & swim
Friday: BBQ
Saturday: fly home

We never started anything on time, but we “talked story plenty” and had more than enough to eat for the rest of the day.  Kalani got a great tan and Mason was such a good baby for everyone.  Next reunion is scheduled to be in 5 years.  I wonder how big of a group we will get then?

From the first time I saw Mason I always said that he looks like his sister Kalani.  Here are some side-by-side photos of our two kiddos.  Can you tell which is which?

Mike Rowe should try being a mother if he wants a “Dirty Job!”  Today I was bathing Mason in his tub at the kitchen sink while watching Dirty Jobs on the TV.  Mason must have felt very relaxed and wanted me to have my own dirty job experience.  He let loose and all of a sudden he was in a tub with yellow floating pooh.  I got him out as quickly as I could, and then reached for the camera that was near.

After rinsing out the tub and cleaning Mason off (and allowing him time to take care of all of his bathroom business) he was clean and smelling fresh!  And one reward Mike Rowe won’t get for his dirty job is cuddling with a sweet baby anytime of the day.
