Hi Everyone from Kona!
Day 1
Arrived in Hawaii just around lunch time. We started out in San Jose, then had to transfer to LAX, then to Hawaii. All airlines were on-time, which was great. The only bad thing about the trip was when Jay's neighbor across the way decided to bend over to get something. Jay got a good view of a big butt and him picking his boxers out of his pants...ewwww.
The condo we picked is great. Great ocean view, 1 bedroom, 2 bathrooms and a Lanai. We each get our own bathroom..yeah! For dinner last night, we ate tuna sashimi and seaweed salad that we bought from the grocery store. Cheap and great eats! We'll try and keep you updated.

Poor Rudy
Sunday it wasn’t too hot down in here, but Jay decided to add water to the pool for Wes. Wes had a great time in the pool. He even wanted to get naked to play. That was a surprise. Our son usually likes to be covered up. Maybe it was because his diaper weighed about 5lbs from all the water that it soaked up. Wes is getting in and out of the pool all naked, running around the yard. Next thing we know, Wes is looking at his pee-pee, while he’s urinating on the dog! Aye-ya!
I’m keeping this short today. Gotta run. The parents are heading to Hawaii on Thursday morning without the boy. So, Aloha!

Yes, another post!
Oh Boy…How long has it been? I was going to write a couple of weeks ago to announce that Jay and I have been married 5 years. 5 Years?!? How did that happen? Then I forgot to write about it. Then I was going to write last week that Jay and I went on an Overnight trip as a trial period for Wes for when we go to Hawaii at the end of July. Then I forgot about that too. I’m not doing too well here with updating. So, here are the updates:
A non-Wesley update (yes, I try on occasion) On June 21st, Jay and I celebrated our 5th Anniversary. It doesn’t feel like that long. When I think back, during those 5 years, we got married, then got: a house, a dog, a car, a baby, and a car; in that order. That is a lot of things that happened in such a short period of time for us. But, it’s been great. Yes, we’re busier and we have to schedule and juggle things more (i.e. Wes), but we always seem to find time for each other. And thank goodness for Sk*ype. I get to “talk” to my husband throughout the day without interruption of the lil one. After 5 years, my husband is still my best friend.
Wanda is visiting here visiting us. She came up to help with the trial (or maybe I should say training) period to help Wesley prepare for the Hawaii trip Jay and I will be taking at the end of July. She’s been a big help with taking him to daycare and staying with him overnight. Since he is now 27 months, he’s been a lot more aware of things and has had separation anxiety that comes and goes over the past few months. Last weekend we decided to do an overnight trip to see how he would react. We decided to show him we were leaving on a trip and that we would see him the next day. Reaction? A little confused, asked where we were, but no crying. Jay and I are realizing that it might not be us, but he might have more separation anxiety when Grandma leaves! He’s always asking for this Grandma. For our overnight we stayed in Santa Clara. We actually saw a movie, “Hancock” (which was good), and actually had a dinner where we didn’t have to worry about what to pick (sushi, also g-uuuuu-d), and saw another movie, “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” (I liked that one too). We haven’t been that lazy in a while. I remember pre-Wesley there were times when you would sit around and be bored. Now, I don’t remember what “bored” means. Now, there is always something to do.
Yes, our son keeps us from getting “bored”. He’s had a few cases of hives (we call it his “itchies”) in the past and when he does, we put Calamine Lotion on it. Yesterday, in the car, we were having a long conversation. At one point, I was telling him that I had a headache and that my head had an owie. He responded, “Head, owie?…. Lotion.” Ok, Dr. Hann.
A few weeks ago, we had spread a couple of blankets on his bedroom floor. He loves to play with his blankets. They are his security. (His bibs are also a security, but that’s another story.) He woke up one morning and saw the blankets on the floor and told me, “I want to lie down.” Whoa! Where did all those words come from?
He is such a chatterbox now. And bossy. A couple of weeks ago Jay and I were eating Lamb for dinner. He comes over to me and says “ I want chicken”. I tear off a piece and while he eats it, I tell him, “No, it’s lamb”. He looks at me and says, “No, Mama, Chicken”. Sheesh.

The problem with posting now is that I'll start writing, then say to myself I'll come back to it later and edit. Well, then I get distracted and have all these pieces of writings all over the place. So, here are two pieces that I'm putting together.
A recent conversation Jay and I had on Instant Messaging:
[9:50:20 AM] Jay says: I took 2 pictures of him sleeping too :D
[9:50:33 AM] Jay says: he was sleeping so heavy
[9:50:44 AM] Jay says: his feet on the pillow
[9:50:55 AM] Jay says: then he didnt want to getup
[9:51:04 AM] Jay says: he got mad when I scooped him up
[9:51:24 AM] Jay says: but he drank his milk and we watched Thomas
[9:52:07 AM] Jay says: I got up and he looked at me :|and said Daddy! Sit and patted his little hand on the couch next to him
[9:52:08 AM] Mickie says: wow
[9:52:14 AM] Mickie says: (chuckle)
[9:52:33 AM] Jay says: so I sat down and he smiled and was very pleased with him self
[9:53:33 AM] Jay says: what a smart little guy
Camping
This past weekend was our first camping trip with Wesley. We might wait a couple of more years before we bring him again. Well, actually it was good and bad. Good - he had a lot of fun. Bad - he cried for ½ hour before he finally fell asleep exhausted from crying and Jay and I were pretty much awake all night.
It probably would have been OK if it was just us and we had his pack-n-play to sleep in. Instead, there were 4 families. One of the kids was 4, so he and Wes could not get enough of each other the whole time. They both got over-stimulated. Both didn’t take naps. So, during the night both cried. Wes did this before he went to bed, and the other child during the night – 4 times. Wes slept thru that. Jay and I did not. Not just crying, but screaming crying. And, we had no pillows (we forgot), and, the air mattress was on its last legs. We were both tired and ready to go home the next morning. Not only did we not sleep, we had our coffee press, but no coffee…UGH. We prepared so much for Wes, we didn’t prepare for ourselves. Things are definitely different when you have a child.
