Maddie's Baptism

We finally got Maddie baptized last month... one step closer to sainthood like her father.

     

        

      

God Bless our Maddie!

Lobster Night

Every year, my mom and dad feel the need to have a lobster night at the Motz estate.  10 crying lobsters and 10 lbs of butter... ah, the life.

This year, we called up our fisherman friend from Nova Scotia (Canada, for all of you geography geniuses), and he took care of the rest. 

Actually, all of the lobsters were ordered locally, but the lobsters did come from Canada, there were tags on the lobsters to track their catch date and location (neato).

Madison wore her lobster hat and PJ's for the big day.

   

Madison loved the lobster's WWJD bracelets.

Lilly's Baptism

My brother and his wife baptized their beautiful baby girl Lilly about 2 weeks ago.  It was nice, simple and an over all happy moment... just the way God would have wanted it. 

Madison still hasn't been baptized... we are slacking big time.  When is the pope headed to Oahu?

  

Congrats Steve, Amber and Lilly.

Learning To Read

Daddy was never the reader. Mommy loves to read.  Maddie loves to be read to. 

This is Maddie and Grandma Zee.

Maddie & Anayah

Here's is Maddie and her cousin Anayah.  They like to hang out the park and look for boys.

Grandma's On Vacation...

Maddie's full-time baby sitter is on vacation and that leaves papa bear to take on the duties.  I will say this... taking care of Maddie is harder than my current job. I'm serious.

I need to keep her busy or she takes joy in terrorizing me.  True Story.

On Thursday, we went to the beach. I wore my speedos and Maddie didn't want to be anywhere near me.  She just floated around like a little princess in the shade.

On Friday, we did the Makapu'u light house hike.  It's a short hike that's totally paved.  Just me, Maddie, the jogging stroller and the blistering sun.

Thanks Maddie for taking it easy on me.

Patty Cake

I don't remember words to many nursey rhymes... rap song lyrics, yes.  I am broadening my horizons now that I know Maddie loves them.

I blinked...

My parents were baby sitting the other night and sent us a picture of Madison.  I couldn't believe how old she looks in this picture.

Don't blink.

Happy Father's Day

To all the fathers out there, Happy Fathers Day!

  

Cheers to all of Maddie's Grandfathers!

My baby is a pot head.

Maddie is not ready for a haircut, but when is ready, she is requesting a bowl cut.

She's so cool.

Drunk.

 I think Maddie has a drinking problem.  Sometimes she passes out in her high chair while having breakfast.

I can relate.

My Mom Bought A Pool

My parents waited until after all 3 of her boys moved out before she invested in a pool for the house... not cool.

Yes, Steven cleans the pool.

Jungle Bunny

It's been a while since I posted anything, so here goes another streak.... 5 posts in 5 days.

Vans

I wore Vans Shoes at my wedding, so it is only fitting that my baby also rocks the vans. 

 My Vans Collection.

Maddie's First Vans.

Maui Trip: Part 2

The Maui saga continues... here is the final installment.

The Westin Maui has 2 water slides.  My dad and Jacque both tested it out.  Jacque looked so graceful and entered the water looking like a model.

 I had my dad try to replicate the Jacque's model-like entry into the water. I think he has a huge future in modeling..

We tried to get Maddie in the pool on multiple occasions but I think she was only comfortable in her Maui & Sons wetsuit.

Did I mention we drank a lot?

  

Maui was amazing.

Maui Trip: Part 1

 Here is part 1 of a 2 part series highlighting our first family vacation to Maui.  Enjoy and don't forget to follow the blog over there         ------------------------------------------------------------>

This was Maddie's first airplane ride.  I think she liked it although she was a little dissappointed that she couldn't open the floatation device the flight attendent gave her... so she slept. 

  

The Westin Maui was amazing. 

5 Pools, hot men floating around in inner tubes and even a grotto with a Playboy Playmate that waved at me the whole time. 

   

   

Maddie was busy over the 4-day weekend.  She watched her dad and grandpa drink Mai Tai's, slept by the pool and even visited her monk seal friend that crawled up on the beach to do a little nude sunbathing. 

 

 

More pictures to come, check back by Wednesday.
