Happy in Hawaii

One of the funnest things for us about this school year is having Jenn and Jeff and their kids out here with us. It's been so nice to have family close by which makes it feel more like home.  We love it not only because they let us do laundry at their house, they feed us, and let us brainwash their kids into thinking we are their favorite auntie and uncle, but because they include us in all of the fun things to do. Tony and Jeff have enjoyed surfing together while Jenn and I have had fun trying new recipes. We get to together with them about every other weekend or so and have a blast! At the end of September was sweet Leah's baptism and guess who she asked to speak at it?!? Me!! After only three months in the Clark family she chose me over Tony! :) It was so fun to be a part of her special day.
See, look how cute she is!
 

It was a beautiful baptism and we enjoyed an evening of California Pizza Kitchen and a game of Rook.

Despite what it may look, I promise he really does like me!  (we realized after there were no pictures of Tony because he was taking them all)

Aloha!

Welcome to our blog! It seems that in the small print at the bottom of marriage contracts it says, "must make blog" so that's what we have done! (only 101 days after we were married). So to explain our blog url, you must first understand our family.  Our family consists of me, Nicole, my husband Tony, and, because we don't have any kids, our car Ernie who Tony counts as his baby. Ernie is our adopted baby that Tony got from his brother and sister-in-law when they left Hawaii. It's not like Ernie's really all that but for some reason Tony has it through his head that he's the worlds best car! And so to pay tribute to him, we have titled our blog after him.  Bulletholes is a 1995 Isuzu Rodeo with bullet holes in the side of him from a previous rough Hawaiian owner who got down on the West side. We think his battle wounds add character. So if you wish, follow our adventures in Hawaii and be our blog buddy!
