Mama's Little Angel

 

Sometimes Jackson just looks so darn cute, there's no need for words.

Anthony Turns 46!

I turned 46 today. I'm closer to 50 than 40 - yep, ain't no denying it. For my birthday Judy and I spent the weekend at the Mauna Lani Bay Hotel on the Kohala Coast.
Jackson spent Saturday and Sunday with us swimming and playing at the resort but Saturday night he spent with his Auntie. Judy asked Jackson to take a picture with Daddy while eating strawberries. Note the boy’s professionalism and calculated pose.

Auntie Katherine's gift was keeping Jackson Dylan for his first night away from home without Mommy and Daddy.



Auntie Katherine also got Jackson swimming in the deep end using noodles - something Mommy & Daddy can't get him to do.


Other noteworthy events ... Jackson tried to take control of a "big-boys" beach construction project much to the perplexed annoyance of the big boys.


Judy taught Jackson to jump off the edge of the pool and go under.



Judy treated me to a deeelicious steak at Ruth's Chris Steakhouse (yes, they are everywhere) and we had a wonderful breakfast at the Mauna Lani Bay Terrace. A nice relaxing weekend was had by all!

Spring Has Sprung!

The Historic Home that I manage at Parker Ranch, (Puuopelu which means folding hills in Hawaiian), is surrounded by 300 acres of horse paddock. Last week three of our mares had foals. This morning I was driving to work just as a light rain ended and a rainbow appeared in the sky. I always keep my camera in the car just for moments like these. What a great way to start the day!
