My new business


I started my own business teaching Art Classes from home. I turned my garage into an Art Studio and have classes every afternoon this summer. The kids are doing great and I'm so proud of all their work.

Growing up is so much fun!

Kai is growing up so quickly and his Big sister is enjoying him more every day and gets so excited to show him how to do things! This is her teaching him how to clap:)



Hugs!

His first rice biscuit.

Kai is all over the house finding everything! He discovered Keao's magnets so I put hers up high and got out the letter one for him!

Kai has been sitting up for awhile if you set him there but yesterday he was crawling around and sat back on his butt sitting straight up:) and then this morning he pulled himself up, first to his knees and then his feet! He will be walking in no time!

Kauai 6/2009

We took our first official family vacation to Kauai June 6-12th!
We had an amazing time! We saw so much! At Ka'a Beach we swam with fish, and saw Hawaiian monk seals and turtles on the reef sunning themselves. We saw the canyon and took a small hike. There were so many waterfalls which were amazing!

Happy Birthday Keao!

My little girl is no longer a little girl! Keao turned 5 and is now officially a BIG Girl!

I took her out to a local restaurant that sing to you on your Birthday- she has been waiting to go, so she was very excited!


Her party was on Saturday and she (and I) are so lucky to have such great friends who shared a bounce house with her for her party! They rented it for their boys baseball team for a party in the afternoon so we did a am birthday bash and all the kids had a great time bouncing and using a water slide too!
See how happy she is!


Such a beautiful cake too!

Yum!

Happy Mother's Day!

Mark was on Duty today so I asked my Best Friend Missy to spend the day with us, especially since she was there when both my kids were born! She loves to go hiking and got me the cool pack Kai is riding in for Christmas. Now that he is big enough to rid in it it was the perfect day to head up the trail!





Half way up and Missy took the baby- he sure was heavy:)
But I took him all the way down-that was easier!

Keao and Jobie the dog!

He doesn't last long but he is getting better!
