**HAPPY BELATED 4TH OF JULY**

So here it is. Our belated 4th of July message to you all. As you can tell we are huge slackers on this stuff. Maybe Mindy being a blond & Danny being polish doesn't help things but hey at least we are trying so you could give us some credit. The cake Lil' Danny helped make & then Robert helped eat it:) We have Lil' Danny who loves to help cook & bake & then we have Robert who just loves to eat, eat, eat the food, cookies, pretty much anything that is edible.


We never really understood the full meaning of the 4th of July until Danny found himself in Iraq fighting for our country & I Mindy found myself praying & hoping every day that he will return safely home. Much gratitude we have for all the men & woman who have served our country, chosen to serve our country & are serving our country right now because without them we would not have freedom & the many blessings in life that we sometimes take for granted. On both sides of our family's, we have family members who chose to serve our country & we say "THANK YOU" to them for what it is they did & may be still doing. It doesn't matter whether you are serving in the Air Force, Army, Marines, US Navy, etc. They all have the same purpose & are fighting for the same reason......
To keep this nation FREE, to keep us FREE!!!

~THE BOYS HAVIN FUN!!~

The boys went swimming on the 4th & had a blast. Lil' Danny said "I need the goggles & floaty arms on so I don't drowned" even
though the water only came up to his knees.
He can be so silly at times. Robert loved going down the slide backwards on his belly & splash, splash, splashing to make Lil' Danny mad!! By the time they were done swimming we, (Danny & Mindy) were pretty wet thanks to Robert. Then we had a wonderful bbq outside with a couple friends in Danny's unit. With the nice cool Hawaii breeze & bbq grilled ribs on our plates we were enjoyin the rest of the lovely 4th of July.








-LIL' DANNY ENJOYIN SPARKLERS-









What a perfect way to end the 4th of July by doing sparklers.
This is as close as we could come to fireworks without getting in trouble since on base you are not aloud to do them. Lil' Danny sure had fun & Robert fell asleep before the night of sparkler fun could even begin but as Lil' Danny said "that's fine Robbys asleep because more for me to do":)

~FATHER"S DAY PIC'S~

What a wonderful Father's day we
celebrated this year. Even though we didn't have our own father's around us it still was a good one.
We were so happy to express our love & gratitude to Danny for joining the army. So many wonderful blessing we have received
from his decision. It does suck to be
far away from family but all the good
that has come
our way is just wonderful.
To be blessed with a nice roof over our head, financial stability & medical benefits are just some of the many wonderful blessings we have received from his decision. So we thank him deeply for giving & providing his family with a wonderful life.
We also say THANK YOU to our own father's for
being such wonderful dad's & giving great advice
that has helped us through out our life's & still
does today. Even though at times they may be
weird, we will still always love them for doing
the best they could & providing us with the
important things in life when we were kids.
We are so happy & grateful to say our
FAMILY LIFE N HAWAII is good right now:)

HURRAY!! A NEW BLOG

Our "chunky monkey" Robert &
"handsome boy" Lil' Danny

Yes it has been a while, a long while we noticed since out last blog got posted & do we feel so terrible about it. Yes we do. People must be thinking we dropped off the island of Hawaii & are gone forever. But at last we are still here & enjoying life. Besides the hot weather were dealing with, cockroaches we have had to kill & the birds chirping 24/7 we are doing good.

Lil Danny has one more month of summer then it's time to hit the books in 1st grade. His favorite saying "I'm going to 1st grade to get smarter than you". Guess the good thing is he has a positive attitude:)

Robert is still being a handful and mischievous at times but the things he does to make us laugh helps wipe away the terrible fits & tantrums he decides to have every now & then. But we still love him=)

Danny & me (Mindy) are doing good. Danny does need to have surgery to take care of his cirrhosis lymphoma. He has to meet with a surgeon to go over the whole procedure & then he will get a date set up for his actual surgery. I (Mindy) am enjoying but disliking having Lil' Danny off for summer.
When you have the two boys together all day you get ... lots of fighting over who gets the last cookie, pushing & shoving over who gets to huge daddy first, & the screaming that comes out of Robert is so unbelievable. But just the wonderful joys you get to experience as a parent. Aren't we all so lucky:) Just as we start rewinding back to the days when we were saying"oh he is such a cute angel" reality sets in & we get hit with a pillow from the boys arguing & fighting over...
oh who knows, everything!! But would we wish we could change our life? Not for a minute. Our house may be full of craziness but when you combine that with the lots of love, it makes our "Family Life N Hawaii" PERFECT!!

*LIL' DANNYS NEW SUMMER HOBBY*

To JUMP or NOT to JUMP? That is the question, now what is the answer?

ROBERT'S NEW HOBBIES:)

-Using his lunch as a wonderful pillow to rest his sleepy head-
*Getting a hold of a pen, chewing on the end of it so ultimately it will leaks all over his face*

And last his favorite hobby of all.... to sneak into the fridge & pull out items,
then laugh and giggle as we chase him down the hall trying to retrieve the mustard, chocolate syrup or whatever it is he's hoping to escape with.
