Hi everyone… we are moving our “blog” to another server. I ran out of room somehow. ( I personally think I did something wrong). Anyway I can’t figure out how to upload more photos to this site, so we have moved to http://ncrinhi.vox.com/. Be sure to check it out!!! Sorry for the confusion!!!

Back by popular demand!!!!!

Ok, Ok, I am back in action!!! I have been so busy, I haven’t had the energy to post!! Well lets see, one of the things we have been doing is painting the kitchen/dining room. That was a complete nightmare. Still not 100% where I want it to be. We have had stomach bugs in the house( Mehana). Tons of half days and days off from school ( gotta love that!!) We had a great Thanksgiving. We went to our friends’ Lexi and Nate’s house. There were 5 families, that equaled out to 10 adults and 15 children ( 6 children were 3 and under)! It truly was a day for miracles though. There was no fighting and no one got hurt. It was a great time!!! I did not go to sleep that night because we got home REALLY late and I HAD to leave the house for 4 am to SHOP!!! Since I have posted last, Mehana and I took a trip to Florida to visit my mom AND DAD. There we met up with some friends, Matt ,Tamme and family, that were on vacation there from Hawaii. We got together and went to the zoo. Mehana and I got to pet a giraffe. It truly was a terrific experience. While we were there we went to Seaworld where we got to feed and pet both Dolphins and Stingrays!!! It was amazing!!! I can see why people pay the amount of money they do for a day’s pass!!! Reports cards came out a few weeks ago and the kids did great Corinne made honor roll and Camden got an award also. Gregg will not be going to Afghanistan, as I once had posted. Who knows what he will be doing now. Things change daily here. He did however have surgery this past Friday ( yes #5 in 2006). He had to remove yet another Kidney stone, hopefully the last one for a while. We will be in Massachusetts on the 15th of Dec to the 29th. I am hoping to see all of you New Englanders!!! I hope all of you have a joyous Christmas season!!!

Been Out To Lunch

Just Fooling Around

ncrinhi — Mon, 16 Oct 2006 03:15:08 +0000

Here are a few pictures that I have taken recently. Nothing much going on, here except we found out that Gregg will be going to Afghanistan in January. It is only a 99% chance that he is going because with the Army nothing is 100% until they are on the plane!!! And even then sometimes the plans change. LOL.

The Dance of the Mehana

Sorry for the lack of new material lately, been busy around here. However, here is a little piece of craziness known as Mehana and her dancing. By the way, the dog that appears near the end was one we were babysitting at the time. Enjoy!

Requested Pictures of BDay Girl

ncrinhi — Mon, 18 Sep 2006 15:02:23 +0000

I had to do some cropping, she was in pictures with other children. I don’t post other children, close up anyway. These pictures were taken on her party day despite the 4th of July shirt. Corinne’s friend went in the house and changed her clothes because it ended up getting warm out.

Mehana’s 3rd Bday

ncrinhi — Fri, 15 Sep 2006 18:05:57 +0000

Hi everyone, yes my baby is three!!! I can’t believe how the time has passed. We had a block party type thing for her party. We invited practically the whole neighborhood out for hot-dogs and hamburgers. It was at our park, that is right on the next street( we can see it from our back window). We had a lot of fun. I have more pictures, but they are of close ups of other children and I don’t like to post other people’s children without their knowledge ( I watch too many crime shows). Anyhow hope you all enjoyed your summer. Ours, sadly is abruptly over. It is now autumn in full force. One day it was sunny and 85, and the next day was cold, overcast and windy at like 50!!!

Sorry, No Pictures

Hi everyone, We had Mehana’s birthday party this past weekend. I just haven’t downloaded any pictures off of our camera yet. I will post them as soon as I get a chance. Hope all is well with everyone!!!!

Boating Adventure

ncrinhi — Tue, 05 Sep 2006 16:40:38 +0000

Hope all of you had a relaxing Labor Day weekend! We had adventure! It was WAY better than any BBQ. We rented a boat with another family for the weekend and had a great time!!! We were out on the boat ALL day Saturday and ALL day Sunday. We had a blast!!! Did I mention we had Fun!!! We only had some slight mishaps (I have a few battle scars) and some Pre-teen attitudes, oh and some slight nausea. We all survived though. You guys have to come out next Summer and enjoy some fun. We kept asking ourselves yesterday why we didn’t think to do this at the beginning and throughout the summer. It was WAY cheap! It was probably cheaper than a BBQ. Anyway, I took a total of 177 pictures and only stopped because ran out of memory. I will share some with you on the blog, but in order to see the rest you all need to come visit to see them!!!( Took a chance to see if bribery will help )

I was tempted to cut the rope!!! LOL

Camden’s Glasses

ncrinhi — Sun, 03 Sep 2006 02:18:09 +0000

Yes Camden has gotten bit with the Costa/Rivers curse with having to wear glasses. Corinne has to wear glasses too, but hers aren’t going to be ready for another couple of days. He is very excited to have them. He is so funny!!! We rented a boat for the holiday weekend, we have it until Tuesday morning. We will be sure to post pictures then. Have a safe weekend!!!
