Lets see what has happened...... I worked for our landlords mother on Thurs. The kids are still loving school. We got to go and spend time with our SCA friends for Russian Christmas. That was so much fun and I love spending time with them. Today was football day...... Go Steelers!!! Well they lost the game, but there is always next year. ;) What a game it was. Nani was outside playing with friends and had to come in and tell us she was outside watching out turtle April poop and pee...... crazy what makes the kids happy.

Jan 3rd.

So I should have started the day off by taking a photo of Kimo going back to school. Oh well! Winter break is over and I am happy for the kids to go back to school to learn more. Kimo had a hard time getting going this morning, but what kid doesn't after a break? Nani isn't at school yet, and I hope there are no tears when I drop her off. I will try to get a picture of her today and then get one of Kimo when we get home from school. Yesterday, I had a headake and hubby took care of the kids and let me sleep my headake away. It was so nice! He also took the kids to the store and even made dinner. Will update more later.... off to clean and do all that mommy stuff.

New Year 2012

I am going to start off the new year by writting on this blog again. I am going to try to keep it updated as much as I can (would love to update everyday, but we shall see). For new years we were in Hesperia, CA with family to bring in the new year. It was great and the kids had a blast with their cousins. I woke-up about 7am to a slight gallstone attack. Not fun! The good thing is it wasn't too strong and was only here for a few hours. Not sure what I ate or drank yesterday to make me have an attack. Trying harder this new year to stay away from soda, get more exercise, and just eat healthier. Nani (hunny bunny), is still in bed at 10:40am. She said she wasn't feeling good so I will just let her sleep. Kimo (tookie bird) is up and playing the wii with his cousin. Derek (hubby, daddy) is out playing golf with all the guys. I will have to upload photos from the computer as my tablet doesn't want to do it. Pictures to come to start out the new year.

Monkeys made! :)

I know, I know; I don't blog like I should. Well I was thinking that I will post updates for the family as well as show off the things that I have made. Well here is the first one......... I found this "CUTE" Molly Monkey that I had to make for my Honey Bunny ( http://mmmcrafts.blogspot.com/2008/07/drum-roll-pleasemolly-monkey-pattern.html). It turned out so cute that I also made one for Tookie Bird as well. I really enjoy making these and I think I am going to try my hand at the other animals as well. Mimi Monkey and Anikin (what the kids have called them)

Dirty Face

Well I had made Nani a PB&J sandwitch for lunch. If any of you know kids they get it everywhere. So I told her lets go and clean your face and hands. We walked into the kitchen and when I turned to wash her face she had her eyes closed and her finger up her nose. It was such a funny site to see. I went to get my camera and you know what happens from there......... you never get the same shot. Here is the out come of me with the camera to capture the moment......

I told her to say money and instead she showed me where she puts her money....... LOL

The after math from her eating a blue ring pop........

It's been a long time.........

Well it has been a long time since I have written anything here. I don't know where I left off and so I will just add pictures for now. Thanks for always being there for me............

Another Sad day..........

Today we found out that at 4:55pm our friend Kitty lost her fight with H1N1. She started out not feeling too well and was taken to the hospital on Sept 15th and was put into the ICU. At first they diagnosed her with pneumonia. Then her cough got worse and her heart rate shot up and they took her to the ER. As time went on she got better and then would get thrown a cure ball and get worse. They finally came up with her having H1N1. The last I had heard she was getting better and then all of a sudden today I hear she had been on life support (she had been on Ventilator when she first went in and was never taken off it till today) and that the family was taking her off today. I couldn't believe it and I had to look every where to make sure I was reading the right things. I was the one who called and told my husband and he is taking it really hard. He had gotten to know her better then I had. They worked together for many years and got to know each other pretty well. He is now calling all his friends to let them know how much they mean to him. So I just want everyone out there to really think about going and getting all the flu shots you can. They say the H1N1 is nothing to fear, but then it hits close to home and you know it's no joke. RIP Kitty!!! You touched my heart and I will never forget you!!!

Use both hands..........

So Kimo hasn't been feeling to well. So I took him to the Dr's to make sure nothing too bad was going on. When we were in the waiting room he was playing around with the toys they have there. Then he came an sat next to me. Well All of a sudden he was like........ "Mom, my butt hurts and I can't sit down." Me: "Ok, let me see what the matter is. " Well I looked to make sure his under wear was sitting the right way and it was. Kimo said: "Mom, you have to use both hands to look in my butt!" Boy, I was so shocked that just came out of his mouth in front of so many people. Everyone in there was laughing so hard. Kimo: "I was just joking!!!" It was too funny and emberasing at the same time. UGH!!! Kids!!!

Kimo's 1st day of school................

Here are a few pictures of Kimo's first day of Kindergarden. :)



Nani walking Kimo to school

Kimo, Daddy, and Nani waiting to go to school

Nani was so upset that Brother had to go to school and we had to leave him there......

waiting for Kimo to come out..

here he come with him class and his teacher

School was awsome........

Horse................

Both kids are sleeping and here I am bored to death. So I figured that I could post some pictures of the kiddos. We had Grammy(hubby's gramdma whom we use to live with) down for a visit two weeks ago and when we took her home the kids got to go horse back riding. They both had so much fun. Here are a few pictures................
Nani and Daddy petting a horse

Kimo sitting on the tractor....

You have to clean the horse before you can saddle it

Kimo rode first....

Then Nani got to ride..... (at first she rode with Daddy but then she wanted to do it by herself like brother)
She had to wear the helmet too........

All boy.............

you should call me crazy head............

Yup, you read that right. Well those are the words from a 4 years old mouth. He had droped one of his transformers and he said that we should have called him crazy head, because now he has to be caeful of the broken arm on the toy and a broke wing. LOL

The other day we were driving in the car and Nani said......... " EWWW DADDDDY" it was too cute. She had smelt something bad and blamed it on Derek. Too funny!!! Anytime she smells something bad (ie. a fart) she blames it on Derek and plugs her nose.

Kids say the darnest things.............

Fun at the beach............ 7/25/09

These are just a few pictures of our trip to Malibu a few weekends ago.
