What a weekend of fun, swimming, and special treat for Amanda

This was a weekend to remember. We were all over the island doing all kinds of fun things this weekend.
First and foremost this is a Mai-tai toast to my younger brother (Nathan in Anchorage) who had is 32nd birthday today and hopefully this will remind of the nice warm Hawaiian days
Jake and I, have a photo moment in the pool. Little Jake is becoming quite the little swimmer.

Jake doing is favorite activity of all time - eating ice-cream after Amanda's special evening and wearing a little on his face. He says it taste better that way.

Here is Amanda the morning after getting her ears pierced. She was incredible and loves her new ear-rings and hair style. I'm sure glad I have plenty of guns for the boys in the near future.

Amanda getting the first ear pierced. She said it didn't hurt at all.

Before all the serious action we decided to take in a quick game of glow-n-dark mini golf. This is always a great place for some good family fun

And prior to arriving to the mall we drove around Kaneohe Bay to look at some neighborhoods and stumbled across an open house for this brand new 3000 sq ft home overlooking the bay. It's in an area called Bay View Estates, this particular home is called the Gardenia , (check out the photos) and comes completely furnished (fake grass and all) for a whooping $1.4 million dollars. It was a very nice house, but not for the Soots family.

What a great weekend, now it's back to the office and school next week. We need an extra long weekend soon!
