Welcome to Our Little Ohana!

Aloha! Crazy is the world of blogging! I've had so many different blogs and yes, I'm making one more. This one, however, is a remake. I want my family blog to be open to more readers, but I don't want to put my kids' names, our home town, and our calendar out there for the world to
see. So I have created this new blog to take the place of my previous family blog. Many of you regular readers know our names and where we live and all that good stuff, so please don't comment with that information. My family will have nicknames and I'd very much appreciate you using those when you want to leave a comment. (And I love comments!) My husband served his mission in Hawaii so I've decided to use that as a little fun to our new blog!
Hope you enjoy reading!

Lately in Phone Pics

0129111450She goes out to play with tons of toys on the deck and what does she find? The one toy with a tag.

0131111106We watched a little friend for a girlfriend of mine and KB loved playing with him!

0131111138a   I introduced him to one of LG’s favorite things to play with (hotel room key) and I think he felt comfortable with it! (He stayed that way for about 5 minutes!)

0201111510a Another visitor that KB and LG love to have over!

0202110925 Ku’uipo was working on our side of town so we stopped by for a visit. This always makes KB so very happy!

0204110838 There’s not much she doesn’t like, but let’s just add blueberry muffins to the “like” pile just for the heck of it.

0207111159 I got a Valentine’s gift of some candy from a friend. I was fixing lunch and LG came into the kitchen looking like this. I thought, man, she’ll find food anywhere! I took this pic, then she opened her mouth a little and I saw a little glimmer…

0207111159a She had just been sucking on the entire piece of chocolate, wrapper and all! There wasn’t a bit of chocolate left! Good thing I got it before she swallowed it! Now I can laugh about it.

0209111827 I believe it was this bath time that LG was crawling around and KB leaned over and blew a strawberry on her butt! She laughed, I laughed, he laughed but I told him that was gross. And we still laughed.

0211111558 She was getting so aggravated not being able to get on those cars! I just waited til she figured out on her own that she could just walk around the mail box.

0214111027 I pulled out my Love Shack light again this Valentine’s Day! (post V Day sale at Target one year)

0214111930 This kid can give a happy smile no matter what! Only 10 minutes after he jumped/fell off our dining chair and hit the corner of the wall. It was swollen about 1/2 an inch out! (I didn’t tell him to smile. I just wanted to document.)

0215111731 We got a bird feeder from Auntie for New Years and the birds finally started coming around in the last couple weeks. One day this crippled bird came and perched on the edge with his bad leg just hanging. Soon he got comfortable enough that he’d fly up and just sit inside the tray to eat! (KB and LG absolutely love seeing the birds!)

0217110734 Heard a weird sound that seemed awfully close to my house the other morning. Looked out the window to find all this…

0217110735 0217110742 The guy ran off the road, crashed through my mailbox, went up the hill of our yard, across my yard, and landed upside down in the neighbor’s yard!

0221111545 I have my desktop computer back!! (Hence all the blog posts) I’m SOO excited! (Of course, that made me have to rearrange the furniture again. But you know I liked it. –I totally just said that with the voice of the guy on Karate Kid saying “You know you like it.”)

0221111720 I told him to put clothes and shoes on before going out to play. At least he has the winter theme going.

The Tooth

I’m posting this picture just for MB. I think LG smiled like this just to show you her tooth! (And her gums) It’s about to be joined by another one…

Somebody Turns 1 This Week!!

Sunday, we went to Ku’uipo’s parents’ house to celebrate Lani Girl turning 1 this Wednesday!

DSC_0420My mom got LG this outfit to wear during her birthday week!

DSC_0433  We were all getting our cameras ready while Granny was just holding out LG’s personal cake. She did not like that!

DSC_0445 KB took about 3 minutes and a lot of forcing to dig into his first bday cake, but LG only took a few seconds before she realized how much fun she could be having!

DSC_0449The first bite…

DSC_0461  Turned LG into a happy girl!

DSC_0479 She got a hold of Grandaddy’s shirt!

DSC_0487Learned something new about my man. His fave cake is funfetti.

DSC_0492  DSC_0505 She actually picked up the whole giant cupcake a couple times.

DSC_0515 DSC_0517 One of her new fave faces.

DSC_0525 Guess who did more to open her presents.

DSC_0530 DSC_0556 She got a cute little top and skirt!

DSC_0573 Just some play time…

DSC_0576 DSC_0578 DSC_0581 DSC_0590 She got a John Deere shirt that says Farm Cutie on it too! And she carried that remote around like a phone, but wouldn’t carry the phone like that.

DSC_0601 Grandaddy gave KB his phone case to wear for a while. That made KB cool.

DSC_0607 And LG got a big girl carseat! I’m quite the stickler on carseat safety, but I fudged today! Only 3 days early!

DSC_0612 She loved it! She so desperately wanted to sleep, but kept looking around. Can’t wait to see her reactions during the daylight!

Thank you Grandma Great, Granny, Grandaddy, Auntie, Aunt and 2 Uncles!!!

Christmas Eve Play

We did Christmas Eve at my parents' house, which included delicious finger foods, new jammies, and, of course, the reading and acting out of the Christmas Story (Luke version). The grandkids got to act it out. And it was one precious little play (narrated by Big Daddy).
 "Joseph" and "Mary" sang an adorable little song too!
Isn't that the cutest sheep you've ever seen?! And that shepherd. Hmm... that's a new way to call your sheep.
Then the angel came!
And the wise men.
And I totally love the reflection of my flash in the tv, right behind the angel! It looks like the star!
