This blog chronicles the lives of the Caffee Clan: Brian, Kelly, Josh, Jason, Lauren and Katelyn as we navigate life as a large, loud, military family that lives on the verge of complete chaos! I'm Kelly, AKA "Mom", "Mama", "Babe" or the "1SG's wife", I am 37, a stay-at-home-mom that dreams of someday working in the marketing field. I love photography, scrap booking, healthy eating and cooking, my family, music and dancing!! I have a fetish for gross medical stuff, like unusual diseases or strange growths, and sometimes I wish I was a midwife. As you read, you might notice that I have an slight obsession with cleaning and germ-avoidance, but do not fret, I am aware and I am working on it. And I love making lists! I have lots of opinions about lots of things and this is what is represented here! I'm not always right (wait, I'm NOT??) but I always have something to say!!!

Hawaii - Picture heavy and kind of long... :)

Hello from Hawaii! We are having sooooo much fun and think that we may decide to live here forever! It is amazingly beautiful - I just keep saying that over and over - I can't get over how blue the water and sky look. And everything is so lush and green! The smells are incredible; all salty and oceany - I am in love! I have missed the sunsets thus far, exhaustion from traveling takes over and I have been falling asleep way before they happen, been I am determined to see one!

I wanted to share a run-down of our trip so far - 

We got in way later than we expected on Friday, so we went to bed. 
Boo.
But on Saturday, we drove along the North Shore and saw some really beautiful sights.
The weather was off and on rainy, but it didn't stop us from jumping in!
















On Saturday night, we went to a Luau! It was FABULOUS!
We danced.
We sang.
We ate.
And best of all, we got to spend time with Evan and Melanie!!
































On Sunday, we visited Pearl Harbor.
I cried, it was so somber and sad,
but also inspiring and a testimony to human perseverance.



























OK! I'm not done yet, but the kids are acting like
crazy heads and I should probably stop ignoring the and
act like a parent. Act like a parent actually means yell at them...

Anyway, I'll get more posted and, wait...
restart the Awesome Series!
Ok, you can breathe now!! :)

  2. I am jealous. Any plans to adopt, say, a 50 y-o male child, self-supporting and fun on vacation?
    Just kidding... kinda...
