We had a great birthday weekend! It started on friday, our neighbor watched the girls and erik & I got to go to the Duke's Beach House grand opening and it was really fun. I had gotten a new dress and kalia kept saying, "oh mommy, i love that dress, i love that necklace, that is the perfect dress, that is the perfect necklace." Such a girlie girl!

Saturday, birthday eve, we spent the morning relaxing and then headed to the beach and met some friends. Erik surfed and Wyatt's dad, Eric put a sail on his paddle board and went out and everyone had a good time. Kirk and Sydney met us and everyone had fun in the waves.

Sunday was Erik's 40th birthday and we had a great morning. The girls were excited to watch daddy open presents. Erik really loved the birthday book - thank you, thank you for everyone that contributed letters/pictures/stories/birthday wishes - you really made his birthday special! Erik surfed Honokahau in the morning and we all went up to catch the end of his session and to play in the river - super fun! Then home for naps and then Erik had his afternoon windmills session and we met him again for shell collecting and exploring. It was super low tide and perfect conditions for the girls. Then Uncle Greg came over to watch the girls and Erik & I had dinner at Roy's - what a great day!

By the way - Maya starting to walk! She's been taking about 8 steps and walked from the coffee table to our little couch the other day. She walks a little bit and then claps for herself!
