Temple tour

There is a hidden gem right in Honolulu that not to many people no about.  Iv been to this temple twice now and each time I have the whole place to myself. The very popular Byodo-In temple is also very pretty but way to touristy. There are always people photo bombing your pictures.
Mu-Ryang-Sa Buddhis Temple







These pictures do not do this place justice. 
The colors are amazing.

My Gym

 Emma went to her first My Gym class last week.
 There were 6 other baby's in her class, her being the second youngest. The teacher of the class just so happens to be our neighbor...and the sweetest person with kids.
 I'm already so glad that I signed her up because she had a blast.
 Ta-da!
 Zip-lining
I just hope she is taking notes from all the other baby's on the whole crawling thing.

Sensory Fun

Emma is at the stage of, I can not sit still. I'm pretty sure this stage last...what, like 15 years or so?
I try to find activity's to keep her busy.
All of them I have found on good-ol-pintrest. 
Some were a win....others I recommend the Do NOT Try At Home warning.

First we tried the yogurt painting. 
This was the best activity so far.

This next one was pretty similar to the yogurt painting but it used cereal instead of yogurt. 
 I wish I would have made it a better color then orange. Orange doesn't look that appetizing.
 Squishy
 I added so much water to this and I was still nervous that she was going to get a huge glob in her mouth and choke.

 Every time we walk upstairs (to change a diaper) we stop and make funny faces at the mirror hanging by the stairs. 
I took the mirror down for her to go crazy at it.




OK so I'm not going to lie. I'm a little embarrassed about this next idea....that I found on PINTREST!
Filling up a bath with bubbles and using food coloring to make the bubbles all different colors. 
How fun is that!...right?!?
 NO!
Yes...Im not sure why I could not remember that food coloring STAINS!!!!!! 
I gave Emma 3 baths after this and she still had a hue of pink skin, not to mention the blue on her nose.
Also...I have now ruined my shower curtain, bathroom rug and decorative towel.
Thanks Pintrest!
You suck!

I decided to be a little cruel and it kinda backfired on me.
I gave Emma her first taste of a lemon.
 I was expecting to get some squishy faces
 instead she loved it!
 That has been our fun lately.

Im a couple days late...7 Months Update

Its amazing month by month how much they change. 
She has been so much fun lately. Smiling and laughing hysterically.
I just cant put my video camera down.

She loves eating food. She has surprised me though with her choices. Its seems that she would rather eat green beans, peas, squash then peaches, apples and bananas.

This past month she has really picked up with her talking. She has something to say about everything. 

She is extremely ticklish. The feet, belly, underarms, neck. 
So cute!

Every time Emma coughs..she laughs and smiles afterwards. 
The weirdest thing!?

Emma loooves to have her ears cleaned. She will be wiggling all over the place and once the q-tip comes she lays completely still.

She is still wearing her 3 month onsies, but this month will be the change over to 6 months. 
I think its time.

We have switched over from sleeping in our room to her room.
Its not going so well. :(
I am up all hours of the night.

We have our first class at My Gym tomorrow.
(this was taken at the open house)

This is happening now. 
I cant believe it!!!

Playing Catch Up

We have been really busy lately so I'm going to cram everything into one post just to play catch up.


Emma and I did a quick little hike for one reason.
To leave our mark!


I took Emma to to the park to feed the ducks. 
She had a blast!



We went to the other side of the island just to make lunch.



A little walk in a garden with a nice waterfall


 Emma and I went in town to watch a sunset...that was covered by clouds.



  We went to a park


 Went in search for a waterfall that we will have to save for another day...(because of the safety of Emma)
 This little one was still pretty
 View from the top of the falls


Sat in our very first shopping cart
(I usually carry her)
 Sat in the stroller without the car seat
 Looking cool
 More Beach

I still have a couple things I didn't add because they need need their own page but I'm glad I am semi caught up now.
