gorilla vs bear



My good friend Dane told me about Gorilla vs Bear recently. He hooked me up with their Halloween mixtape. I hadn't heard of the site before, I wasn't quite cool enough. Now, it's a different story. Lots of good music from bands you or I have probably not heard of. They have monthly mixtapes that you can download and listen to at your leisure and expand your music mind.

cool tricks, cool tricks!

Just a quick spotlight on our family star, Tristan. Over the past few months, he has figured out some cool tricks, and since mom and dad like to capture everything on film, we are able to share some of them with you! One of his personal faves right now: standing on dad's hand. This cute grin always goes along with this trick.

It may look as though he has had some professional training in gymnastics or perhaps ballet, based on his form, but I promise that the camera just caught these poses at the right moment.


Here is a video of some of his other cool tricks. Enjoy!

month in review

Here's a quick update on what we've been up to this past month.

Photobucket
We made another trip over to the Big Island. Here's Tristan at Beach 69. I can't make out who that sexy guy is in the background of this picture, but he sure is hot. And later we did make out...

Photobucket
It rained almost the whole weekend we were there, but we enjoyed the cool weather. Tristan was itching to play outside.

Photobucket
We got out the fireworks that were supposed to be used on the 4th, and lit some sparklers. Tristan was a little nervous about them but enjoyed them from a safe distance. "WOOOWW" could be heard for miles.

Photobucket
Went to the always beautiful Waipio with the parents. This horse showed up and hung out for a little while. Tristan loves his animal friends.

Pat the bunny.

Dad went out for a surf and Tristan was as anxious as ever to get out there and join him.
Note: We do feed him, he just loves sucking in all the time. We're trying to teach him it's ok to have a cute little baby belly.

Mama's two boys. It was a great day at the beach, then to Cafe Pesto on our way to the airport. Thanks to Christian's parents for having us!

Photobucket
Tristan received a superman/ batman reversible cape from Nama Clawson. He has a hard time leaving it on, but loves admiring himself in the mirror in it.

Photobucket
We had an impromptu outdoor dinner on a Sunday evening with our friends, the Garners.
Was pretty and peaceful and great to get outside and enjoy the forest.

Tristan learning how to start a fire. His father has much to teach him on the joys of pyrotechnics when the time comes.

Photobucket
Everybody enjoyed an appetizer of freshly picked strawberry guavas while we waited for our tin foil dinners to cook. And why does hamburger, potatoes, onions and carrots cooked over hot coals taste so amazing, anyway? Ponder that one.

Photobucket
Christan got upset when the paparazzi showed up. Yes, stars are just like us and cook tin foil dinners, but he just wanted to spend some quiet time with his family.

Photobucket
Tristan was his usual sassy self. He enjoyed licking the guacamole off the chips.

Photobucket
Our nature boy.

Photobucket
Not sure if it's a cut, or dirty hands or just being sassy.

Photobucket
Trying out his new headphones. A trial run of watching a movie on the portable dvd player. The upcoming flight to California will be much easier if he can be entertained for some of the time with it. We think he liked it.

Photobucket
Tristan decided he's ready to wear his swimming medal.

*And that concludes the highlights of our September.
