Friends, Family-It's all the Same

Fun, Laugh, Cry, Smile, Share, Trust, Love- FRIENDS

EST 1997

Every year since 2005, the Napoleon Family and the Hill Family have spent at least three weekends together every summer. This past summer took us down to Hampton for two very special reasons: The blessing of little Kai Kani, and Briana and Kaulani's 6th birthdays! All the kids had a great time playing together, while the adults were able to get in some visiting-and then some!!! It is so wonderful to have such great friends that will be part of our extended family forever.

We always have such a great time together-it is hard to find reasons to leave (or sometimes reasons to stay depending on how are our children are behaving)! Whatever comes our way-we are there for eachother-and that is a blessing that is irreplaceable. Cheers to all the good friends we have throughout the world!

The Carlsons said...: This looked like a fun trip! I think my boys would love it and also think working as a trolley driver or at Krispie Kreme would be acceptable.

Thanks for the idea.

kalani said...: Great blog! Those Napoleons sound like a great family...probably extremely humble and super righteous. I'm sure they're the most humble family you know!

You guys are great. You've made these past 3 years bearable and fun. Thanks for being great friends and family.

FYI: The baby's name is spelled Kaikane (touchie subject for you know who); October 25, 2007 at 2:23 PM

Hills in the News

Well, so far the Hill Family has been keeping up with all of our friends and family through occasional phone calls-but no more! We hope that we can share updates about what is going on in our family regularly, with everyone who knows us through this blog! We hope all of you are doing well and we can't wait to hear from you too.
Since Mama Hill has a bad habit of carrying on long thoughts and conversations, you all may be very thankful for the e-version of communication, so feel free to keep us posted about what's happening in your end of the world (without me talking over you)!
Here's how the Hills roll:
Nana just finished Kindergarten, is reading up a storm and completed her first season ever of soccer!
Mr.Man has discovered how cool Jedi Knights and their blue and red light sabers are!
Little Bubbers has discovered how to defend himself, from his older brothers new interest in hitting him with the cool Jedi Knight light sabers!
Jeff is just working up a storm, occasionally fits in some golf and is constantly trying to figure out a way he can be a millionaire overnight, I am busy working with Moby Wrap, Inc. and recently had an article published at the following address: http://www.modernbabiesandchildren.com/maryland/info/our-stories/all-wrapped-up.htm
Aside from being able to add a little to the family income, I spend most of my days finding ways we can kick the soccer ball, play Star Wars, read books, eat, protect Little Bubbers and become millionaires-all at the same time!
We have had a wonderful couple of years here in our Nations Capitol and just to give you an idea of how much fun we've had in the House of Hill-here are are a couple of pictures we've taken over the last few months.
Until the next update- we hope you have a great time with your own family this summer and we can't wait to see your pictures and read your news too!
All the best-Carrie
