captain coen

alright, here is the deal. i am way behind on updates...this i know. the problem is that we have been having so much fun i can't seem to bring myself to stop and blog. but since the boy (coen, not wes) crashed early tonight i am going to at least make an effort. don't be fooled, we are still smack in the middle of having fun...in fact this week we are lounging poolside at the marriott waikoloa while wes attends a conference about volcanoes. lucky him, lucky us. 

it is nice to be back on the island, but man did we have a great summer vacation to the west coast. coen's fascination with planes only continues to deepen. which makes traveling with him pretty darn easy. we have yet to board a plane and not be invited into the cockpit. on our flight to califormia the pilot suggested we start a flight journal and have the pilots sign it. he said his kids started theirs when they were coen's age and are now on journal number 5! such a fun idea, and coen loves having the pilots names in his book. he also tried to convince them that he would just sit in the jump seat and be their co-co-pilot. nice try.

coen gets his wings

as sad as we all were to leave the city, we were very excited to go to portland to see auntie shanny and uncle mike. of course our future pilot was most excited that he got to fly on a plane again. the flight attendants fell in love with coen and his joy of flying. within minutes of being up in the air they were letting him call and talk to the pilots. he was in heaven. they pinned him with real wings, and as soon as the plane landed they took him up to meet the pilots. best. day. ever.
