Maunawili Falls Hike

This past week has been an adventurous one! Becky stayed with us for a week and we explored the island of Oahu! This was my favorite hike that I've done so far. Tawny met up with us since she was visiting her cousin in Kailua.

Waimea

On Saturday we went with Seth & Lindsey and their baby to Waimea and had a fun beach day! We had a long week and it was exactly the kind of day we needed. From Waimea we ate an early dinner in Haleiwa at a sandwich place called Storto's. It was my first time there and I am in love. One thing the North Shore lacks, is a variety of food. So I am excited to find a new place to eat!

Happy 50th Birthday Mommy!

Mom, I love you so much and I hope you have the best birthday ever! I am so bummed I can't be there to celebrate with you! Enjoy your "Sprinkles" cupcakes!!! I wish I could help you eat them! I miss you and you're the best! XOXO

Yoga

Yesterday I went with Katie, Anna, & Jonna to the Turtle Bay Resort for my first yoga class. I loved it! It was such a great work-out. I have done pilates many times and surprisingly, the day-after-soreness was way worse with yoga. My instructor kept calling me Jenna the whole time, it was hard not to laugh. He was really bad with names. The yoga session was so relaxing and we were outdoors with a beautiful view of the bay. After the class we went to Haleiwa for thai food and had a crazy waitress that was mean to us. But it was entertaining at the same time.

Happy Mother's Day!

Not only do we have the best moms on the planet, but they happen to be the most beautiful too! We love them so much and we are truly blessed for their love and support and for their amazing righteous examples they have set for us. We love them so much!

Another one bites the dust!!!

Devin just got home from surfing pounders with his second broken board this year. Let's hope it's not a trend. So we are officially accepting donations towards Devin's new surfboard fund.(haha, but seriously)

Nieces & Nephews!

It was so great to see my cute little nieces & nephews when we went home to California for a week. They all grew so much since we last saw them at Christmas and they were so fun to play with. They are all so adorable!!! We absolutely love them! The first picture is of James, Makayla, and Aleena. (Devin's sister Dawn's three kids) The second and third picture is of Dane, Dustin, and Calie. (Devin's brother Justin's three kids)

Dinner at Chimayo's

Last Friday night we went out with the Dickson crew! It was a ton of fun! Devin's dad treated us to an amazing dinner and it was nice to be together again! We miss California!!! This is a picture of me and the Dickson girls. (Except Kiki, we missed you!)

Family Bowling Night!

Monday night we went bowling with my parents and little brother. After bowling we played air hockey and then my dad treated all of us to dinner at The Cheesecake Factory! It was nice to get to be with my family and it was hard to say goodbye and come back to Hawaii. We miss you guys!

A Shira/Sharla Date!

On Monday my Mom and I spent the day together and went shopping! We went to the Irvine Spectrum and got some cute clothes at Anthropologie. We had alot of fun! We went to Red Robin for lunch and tried Pinkberry for the first time for dessert. It is amazing! Divine! Heavenly! You need to try it! It's fresh, light, delicious, and healthy!

Kokua Festival!

We had a super fun time with Jared & Lexi at the Kokua Festival where we got to watch Jack Johnson, Dave Matthews, Mason Jennings, and Matt Costa perform live. It was an awesome show and the light rain made it so memorable! After the show we ate at The Cheesecake Factory. It was such a great night!

SAVE ME!!!

Okay, so one of the few downsides to Hawaii are the massive "cane spiders". Last night a second huge spider in the last couple weeks decided to pay us a visit. They are GIGANTIC spiders. I was going to put the image of a real cane spider on my blog for you all to see, but I kept freaking out looking at it! They are bigger than tuna fish cans and so scary! I went into our bedroom to find the spider crawling on the wall above our bed. I screamed for Devin (thank goodness I wasn't home alone) and then the spider started running super fast. Luckily Devin squashed it with his shoe. It was so frightening!!! If you haven't seen a cane spider, search for an image online. I am not exaggerating about their enormous size! I am so blessed Devin was there to save me!

Beach Day at Freddy's

Friday after work & school we went to "Pounders" to body surf with Brent & Katie. Then we went back to their house and had a barbeque. Yesterday after Conference Devin surfed at a surf spot called Freddy's while I relaxed on the beach with Meg & Katie. After our beach day we all got together at Katie's house and played our favorite card game Nerts. It was a fun weekend.

Happy Birthday Cambo!

Today is my little brother Cameron's birthday! He is celebrating it in South America this year as he's serving his mission in Argentina! We miss him so much and we wish we could give him a big birthday hug! We love you Cambo!

Devin Surfing

Devin stole my pink board for a few waves. Needless to say, he enjoyed it! The pic with the white board is his. He is such a stud! On both of these days he is surfing at a spot called "Gaschambers".

Happy Birthday Kiki!

Today is Devin's big sister's birthday! She is a beautiful & ambitious UCLA student and we wish we could be there to celebrate with her! This pic is when she came to visit us in the winter.

Happy Birthday Devon!

Today is my big brother's birthday! Yes, my brother has the same name as my husband. This is a picture of him dancing with our mom on his wedding day. You can tell he is soooo happy to be married to the beautiful Whitney! Devon, have a great birthday! I love you!

Happy Birthday Gramma!

My gramma Beth is 72 today and more beautiful than ever! I love you so much Gramma! You are a foxy little minx!

Look What I Found!

Yesterday we surfed and relaxed at the beach all day. We met up with friends and had a great time! When I went swimming I came across the most massive shell! It is the largest one I've ever found and I was so excited! When we were leaving the beach, Devin found a ledge and decided to do a backflip. Unfortunately, my timing was a little off with the picture, but I assure you he landed it like a stud! We have several additional witnesses!

Baby Raegan Is Finally Here!

Congratulations Seth and Lindsey on the birth of their adorable baby RAEGAN! Meg, Jonna, and I went to see them at the hospital last night and it was so hard to leave! She was over eight pounds and such a cutie! Lindsey is doing well and looks as beautiful as ever.

She's Back!

My best friend Becky is back from Ethiopia (Africa!!!) after three long months. She was doing service for her church and got to work alot with children. She really loved the people and I am so proud of her commitment and selflessness. She is an amazing person and I am so lucky to have a friend like her!

Return With Honor

My little brother (Elder Cameron Taylor Glassman) left the MTC in Provo, UT on March 24th to serve as a missionary for the LDS church in ARGENTINA! I am so happy and proud of him. He is such a righteous and amazing person and I have so much faith in him. I know he will be a great missionary and be blessed for all of his hard work. I miss him and he will continue to be in my prayers.

Hawaiian Holiday!

Since Wednesday was an official Hawaiian holiday in honor of Prince Kuhio, there was no work or school for us. On Tuesday night we got together for a bonfire at the beach at Pounders with Dan & Jonna, Katie & Brent, and Meg & Corbin. We had alot of fun getting cozy by the fire & eating s'mores. The boys went crab hunting with flashlights and pellet guns. They shot a couple of big ones! On Wednesday we woke up and went surfing. We had a fun day at the beach and at night we met up with our friends for a BBQ at Katie & Brent's. We both agreed that all Wednesdays should be holidays!

Happy Easter!

This weekend was alot of fun! We had a girls night at Meg's house and dyed easter eggs. Jonna made delicious lemon bars (which I discovered a new found love for) and Katie made some tasty oreo cookies. Some of the husband got together and went to see two movies at the theater in Kaneohe and then played some cards.

Shevin Dickson!

Ever wondered what your kids will look like? (Atleast our children will have pretty eyes!) He/She is so cool with the mullet and one pearl earring! I'm still debating who "Shevin" looks like most. Who do you think?
