Tahitian HEIVA festival.

Nesquik Chocolate!!

What a mess!

I went into the den to use the computer (to pay a bill online)...I was gone for about 5 minutes when I heard Tia say "Mom, come over here, YOU ARE NOT going to like this!"

So I went into the kitchen to find Nesquik Chocolate powder on the floor and on the kids "little tikes" table and to top things off chocolate powdered footprints on the carpet!!! I also found a little boy with chocolate hands and a chocolate face licking his fingers with a semi "I know I did something wrong" face. I did not take a picture of the guilty one because I had to clean him up and put him in TIME OUT so I could clean the kitchen. He was crying, I was mad so I didn't want to document the drama. Now a few hours later I find this kind of funny...

Feeding Ducks.

Even in Tucson, AZ we can feed ducks! I know you can only see ONE here but Tia is pointing at the others that are arriving...trust me there were a few. We brought one loaf and a half and it was gone in just a few minutes. The kids had fun especially Jonathan. This was his first time feeding ducks, he was a little too excited that I think the ducks were afraid of him.

Family Night...

We went to "The Practice Tee" driving range where the kids had a blast! Ty was their instructor and Mama Ruth (prego) well I was behind the camera documenting their every move. I really had fun watching them have fun. Kids are so entertaining.

Kids being kids.

My Boys.

Here's a cute picture of "my boys" taken last year.
Jonathan is pretty much a "mini Ty" especially in sports (multi-talented). Jonathan is a natural. At two he was kicking a soccer ball and pitching or hitting a softball or throwing a football (especially with uncle Quinn)...And before he turned 3, he showed an interest in golf and basketball.
A while back Ty got Tia a unisex golf set. Tia has shared her "Tiger" golf club set with her brother which now has become his. And now Tia uses mine. Anyway, most mornings or evenings you can find Jonathan in the backyard hitting a "bucket of balls" or perfecting his swing and holding it. And if he's not doing that, he's literally "dunking" the ball through his "little tikes" basket. And if that gets old, then he's riding his bike! Funny little guy!

Well, for those of you that don't know, we are expecting baby #3 in August. And Yes, we know what we are having: another BOY! We are excited!
Our only dilemma would be what to name him? Since I've started this blog I've had a couple of polls running with boy names. Friends and family have voted and we are still undecided. I know we have about 3 1/2 months but I don't want to just name him "whatever". I like to put some thought into it, he (baby) is special to me even if I had silly names such as "Dorito" on the last poll. So people if you have any suggestions, we welcome them. I'm looking for something traditional and hopefully something that will flow well with the family name: Hampton. Thanks!

NOTE:

All pictures of Tahiti & her islands (posted on slide.com) were taken by Ty or myself during our last trip. Since we had updated our digital camera at that time, we went crazy taking so many pictures that we ended up filling about 6 to 7 CD's (downloaded).
Going through so many pictures was hard. I had a difficult time selecting which ones to post...We wanted to document our trip to the best of our ability since we never know when we'll return...We also wanted our children to be able to look back and see how fortunate they were to see and be with their Tahitian family (heritage) and the beauty of the islands. Hopefully some day they'll be able to take their children and tell them the stories and legends of their ancestors.

Another day in Paradise.
