Easter

First Easter on Maui.

We did an egg hunt with our neighborhood, one at our church and a final one with the Asato clan at great grandma's house. Riley said that Easter should be every Sunday because we celebrate Jesus is Alive every Sunday. A few minutes later she said we should probably celebrate it everyday and not just on Sunday's.

Celebration = Egg Hunt = lots and lots of candy.

Locks of Love

When #3 Lucas was born, I grew 12 inches of my hair out & donated it to Locks of Love (organization that makes wigs for cancer patients). Riley liked the idea and asked to do this with me for baby #4. So, here are before and after pics of the two of us. I never used to care much what my hair looked like but now that I have SUPER short hair, I DO care. Longer is better but I want to be a good example for my little girl so it's worth it!!

Stand Up Paddle Downwinder

A friend invited me to do a Stand Up Paddle from Paia Bay to Kanaha Beach. Never did this before on open water but thought I'd give it a try. When I got out there, the waves seemed pretty big and strong and I had trouble just standing up on my board. One of the guards switched boards with me and the rest is history! It was an amazing experience!! So cool! I think I've found a new sport to enjoy and a new community of really neat people!

Levi's First Hike

We took Levi on his 1st hike!! Hoapili Trail in Makena. It was a beautiful day and he did great!! Almost 4 weeks old and he was a trooper! Was so nice for Ryan and I to get out and enjoy God's beautiful creation. Take a look!

Papa & Nana Visit

Nana arrived the day Levi was born and Papa joined her a week later. They stayed for 3 weeks on Maui and we went to the beach, park, shopping, whale watching, played games and hung around the house. So nice to have them with us and for the kids to have time with Papa "coconut" and Nana "banana". We miss you guys!!

Levi Edward Husted Arrives!!

Levi Edward Husted arrived on Thursday, March 3rd! He is 9lbs 3oz and 21.5 inches long. The Lord blessed us with no complications and an easy delivery!! So glad that he's healthy and that we can hold him in our arms (not in my belly anymore)!!

We named Levi after his grandpa...Edward Asato who walks closely with God and is a man of integrity. We wanted to bless Levi with a name that speaks life into his future and his impact on this world.

Ryan cut the cord and was an awesome coach in labor!! Look at how proud he is of his little boy!

The kids were so thrilled to see their baby brother for the first time!

Nana Husted flew in from Michigan the night before Levi arrived.....we think he was waiting on her before making his entrance into the world.

Jon & Joce & Family visited us in the hospital and brought some very much needed fruits and snacks!!

Dad & Mom Asato arrived within 10 minutes of Levi's birth!!

Uncle Byron stopped by with yummy Komoda cream puffs, donuts and sweet bread!! The WHOLE Asato crew stopped by after they heard we had goodies!!

Pastor Lance & Tedynne Sokugawa

Proud Grandma Asato has been coming over every single day since Levi was born....says he changes everyday and doesn't want to miss it.

Riley thinks Levi looks just like her!

Malia loves her little brother and is always asking to hold him. She watches him while he sleeps and so fond of her little brother.

Levi and Daddy taking a lazy afternoon nap together! So fun having this little guy in our lives.
