Happy Father's Day!

I'm so fortunate to have these two men in my life.

Happy Father's Day!

Family that Stomps Together Stays Together

A few weeks ago we had a request to do an family interview to help promote the show. I was really excited to have a all of our pictures in the newspapers. I kept thinking how cool it will be when Nainoa gets older and looks back at his photo in the paper.

On our way to work. Juice in one hand and mini broom in the other.

Here are the photos we took for the article.

Here's our newspaper article!

Burleigh and Kirra Beach

We have been trying to take advantage of living close to so many beautiful beaches here in the Gold Coast. These pictures don't do these beaches justice. Nainoa loves being at the beach and so do we. Boy, I can really get use to this.

Burleigh Beach is a great surf beach with an awesome playground.
We took a bus ride to here so we 9 can watch Daddy surf.

At home 9 will take a long pillow under his arm and pretend he
is carrying a surf board under his arm like his Daddy.

"Where's Daddy and Uncle RJ go?"

We rented a car on our day off and took a drive to
another famous surf spot, Kirra Beach.

There was miles and miles of sand that just called
for Nainoa to run as far as he could.

What a beautiful sight.

I often wonder if Nainoa will remember this amazing time when
we lived here in the Gold Coast. At least I'll have these photos to show him.

Walking with Dinosaurs

Nainoa has a had a busy week. Yo Gabba Gabba on Tuesday and today Walking with Dinosaurs. We have been prepping him and telling his it was going to be loud in some parts so hopefully he doesn't freak out.

Kangaroos and Koalas

Before Tutu left we took the whole family to Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary. We all wanted to see some koalas and kangaroos since we were in Australia. We had a great day walking around and seeing all the animals not to mention some cool aboriginal dancers. Before we left for Oz Nainoa watched some scene of a Crocodile Dundee movie with Lolo that got him obsessed with the aborigines. He kept saying, "painted on the face here, here, here." He was so excited to see them perform. The dancers were totally awesome and now Nainoa is obsessed with digeridoos.

Don't worry Uncle Dan this isn't a real crocodile.

Soft koalas.

Momma and baby roo too!

Up close and personal with Rudy the Roo.

Nainoa all star strucked standing next to a real aboriginal dancer!

All by ourselves :(

It's official. Ivan and I are all by ourselves for the next 10 weeks. I know how spoiled we are in Vegas. I kneel before my friends who do it without their families. This is the first time we experience how real families do the juggle. I am actually looking forward to the challenge. We have a great babysitter and awesome cast mates who are willing to babysit Nainoa.

We were lucky by having Aunty Gloria here for the first two weeks then Tutu for the following two weeks. They were both such a huge help to us. Thank you so much! We miss you both a lot.

Naptime!

Tutu's last day :(

Stomp Family

Nainoa is loving his new Stomp family. The weekend of his birthday they all came over for ice cream cake. They showered him with presents and love. It was great. I felt like he had a real party. Every time I take him to see the show, he names everyone he sees on stage. If some one in the cast is not in he'll ask where they are. So smart! We are having a great time here. I feel really lucky.
