uncle rod & aunt tan
The reason we went to Hawaii in the first place was so we could be there when Rod and Tanya got married. Now that you've seen the rest of our trip to Hawaii, here are a few pictures from the wedding day. Mahalo!
Ender looking all mafia... as usual.
Kimi, Barb, Ender, Jenna
Brenden trying to look cool like grandpa.
Cheryl handing out the leis.
I'm ready for my closeup!
Waiting for Rod and Tanya to come outside.
The happy couple!
Now that they're married, they're allowed to kiss.
The whole family (minus everybody who was following the photographer around every square inch of the temple grounds on a photo shoot).
Ender glad to be out of his little suit.
Nothing says "I don't live here, I'm just visiting" like matching Hawaiian print clothes.
Dirt surfing on the North Shore of Oahu!

Instead of going home for Christmas, we went to Hawaii! Almost the whole fam was there to help celebrate Rod and Tanya getting married.
Where's the first place everyone goes after stepping off the plane in Hawaii? Costco of course! Ster found himself a two-pack of grandsons.
The beginning of Ender's lucrative modeling/bodybuilding career. Here he's posing for a baby sunscreen ad.
We went to the Polynesian Cultural Center, and Ender got a fun seashell necklace to chew on.
We had matching shirts. You've got to do this kind of stuff when they're young, before they think they're too cool to dress like dad.
He's finally big enough to toss!
Since Mommy and Ender didn't have matching shirts, they decided to get matching face tattoos!
Everyone got a delicious lei for the luau!
Amy loved her piña colada, served in a real pineapple!
How do I look in my hat... pretty tough, right?
Oh, we're going to a hukilau!
A huki, huki, huki, huki, hukilau!
Ender hated touching the ocean (not pictured here).
But he didn't mind sitting on the sand.
The whole family went on a hike. Anyone not carrying an infant through the jungle had an enjoyable time.
Cloud shrouded mountain.
Indiana Amy posing in front of a beautiful valley.
I had to carry her trusty sidekick, who had fallen asleep.
We went to Waikiki to watch the sun set.
Not a bad way to end the day.
A sunset is even better if you follow it up with dessert!
Grandpa got to spend a little more time with his future canyoneering buddies.
Ender wanted you to see the duckies on his robe.
The cousins had similar robes. Brenden didn't appreciate the New Jersey hello, however.
Wish you were here!
(we wish we were still there too)

thanksgiving '08
Sterling and Marianne joined Cheryl and the rest of us for Thanksgiving again this year! Thanksgiving, or as we called it "stretch the stomach for the luau" weekend.
Grandpa took some time to hang out with his favorite little turkey.
A special treat for everyone who ever went to Sunshine Meadows Preschool.
We took Ender to the Christmas village at the ghetto mall near our house.
Aunt Marianne and her favorite little reindeer!
Ender didn't seem all that excited to meet Santa Claus, but at least he isn't one of those wimpy kids who cries when he sits on Santy's lap.

Ender's Grandma Cheryl spent the month of November with him! Here are some of the big highlights.
She arrived just in time for Halloween!
Ender loves playing with water from the shower.
He also loves to taste the water.
Ender the Pooh
Ender and mommy testing out our closet curtain as a backdrop for future photo shoots.
A new outfit for church, and a finger we hope he won't use there.
Ender loves trying to stand up on his own.
Ender is learning to eat real food!
Sorry kiddo... you're not ready for steak just yet.

oatmeal mishap
Ender is learning to eat cereal now, but his cleft palate makes it problematic... and by problematic I mean funny! He often gets as much food up his nose as in his tummy. Luckily nature has provided a solution.
