I made a costume!

I don't know what has gotten into me this year. I decided to make Jeff a costume to go with the Cleopatra costume that my mom made for me. This is what my kitchen looked like...



But it was worth it! Here are the finished products. We even won a prize at the Summerhays' party.



I have to admit that the whole experience was pretty fun. I might do it again some day.

Amazing Experiences

The last few months have been amazing! I'll post more later, for now I want to share a smilebox that my kumu made. Last Saturday, I was able to participate in an ancient cleansing ceremony. Then we performed at Macy's for their 150th birthday party. I was so nervous but it was really fun. (You may want to pause the playlist at the bottom.)

Bulletin Boards

I had no idea that bulletin boards were so hard! It is taking me forever to get the seminary ones done. By the time I get them finished it will be time for next year to start. Auwe, here is the first one I finished - I am so happy with the way it turned out.



Does anyone have any ideas for this one? We are studying the New Testament.

One Craggy Mountain

That is one craggy Mountain!

Peace

So we all know that I have been whining about homework. Shantell (sorry, I spelled her name wrong on the last post) started this week and not only did all of the homework get done, there were no battles of will, no tears and a mom who is crying for happy reasons now. I am learning so much from this sweet teenager about patience and kindness. Thanks Shantell!

Food

We are so excited for fall break... Two weeks in Utah with family and friends. I would love to see all my friends! So I think that on Monday, October 6th we should meet for lunch - any takers?

Hula Hands

This is a picture of the darling keikis (children) from my halau (hula school.) How precious is that?
