Happy Birthday Layla Mama

I know that this is really late but I just wanted to take the time to give 

Layla Mama a Happy Birthday Shout out! 

I cannot believe how fast time has gone; and now my little baby is one!

She loves to sing and dance,

wear jewelry,

give kisses,

and play with her brothers.

She LOVES watermelon and pirates booty,

and currently has 5 teeth, 2 on bottom and 3 on top.

She can walk a little but is lazy and let's her brothers do all the work for her.

She sleeps through the night, 12 hours plus,

She is mellow and usually always smiling and happy.

She has the cutest curls on the side of her head that when she gets real

sweat curls even more. She has skinny little chicken legs and loves the water.

And, she flirts with almost everyone.

Layla Mama, I am so grateful for the dynamic and sweet spirit 

that you bring to our home and our eternal family. I am honored that you chose "us" forever.

I cannot ever imagine my life without you!

I love you to the moon and back...3 times!

Happy 2nd Birthday to my Hena Boy!

We love you Hena. The last two years have been great and I cannot imagine life without you. You have brought our family love, joy and laughter and I can't wait for more. I hope you will stop saying, "you naughty!"

Thank you Nana!

The other day, Hena boy got a package in the mail for his birthday, from his Nana. He was so excited he could hardly wait to open it! Thank you so much Nana for the Legos, one more thing mommy gets to learn how to build! :o) We LOVE you!!!

Thank You Nana!

Marcus waited and waited for this package from Nana.

 He was so excited when it finally came.

And of course he loves his big Mr. Potato Head and family.

 Thank you Nana.

We love you! xoxo

Happy Day Marcus!

Since we've been back in Hawaii all the kids want to do is be outside. So this year we were so excited to celebrate Marcus' 3rd birthday outdoors. Marcus was so excited for his "happy day" we decided to have a Toy Story party at Moanalua Gardens. It is a perfect park nestled off the main road, in a perfect

location to let kids run free. Set on acres of open land, there is a little pond filled with ducks and koi fish.

Although we were a month late in celebrating, we came through and pulled it together. All week it rained, first time since we've been home and I thought just my luck. But it turned out to be a gorgeous day! Everything was perfect, all of our friends came and we had great local food from Pat's Piggery. We played games, feed the fish, had a Pinata (that I made) and a cool Buzz lightyear cake that Cam and I stayed up late making! It was perfect, except poor little Marcus woke up with a fever, and was not a very happy guy the whole day. He is much better now though.

Thank you all for celebrating with us!
