maligaya pasko

as we enter a new year (ahh, 2008?!) of more laughs, new discoveries, new firsts, new stories.... from our family to yours, we wish you all a merry christmas a new year.

when i see this picture i feel like my brain is going 'blurrrrirurelibrrrr' you know as in rewind. vcr rewind? kyks was 2 here. kainoa is 15 months.. blurrrirurelibrrrr. christmas is 6 days away. will someone please press pause.

oh, on a side note. kymora asked me why i cant make more money like kirsten's mom, so that she can come home after school and not go to daycare. yeah. if it were only that easy. who needs work?

bitter sweet

we said goodbye to our house in November. muelu is going back to school, so we have to make a few sacrifices and one of them was putting the house up for rent. i'm so proud of muelu for his drive and his motivation, which essentially is his family. i love how he just pushes himself to be the best. he never takes the easy way out. he works hard, whether it be at a hospital, in the yard, in the garage, or in the kitchen, he puts his all into it. he's a great role model for the kids.

so, good bye house!! we'll miss you! but it's so worth it :)

malaya's challenge...

hard cold floor. beanie for a pillow. under a dresser. what you got malaya?

i found it!

it felt like christmas morning when i found my cable to my camera :) so much to blog about. I was debating on doing the whole, ‘rewind’ category, but then i thought, forget it! i’ll just blog it up in one blob and then i can move to more fascinating times in the salanoa house.

oct and nov came at me like whirling dervish (is that even a saying?) my ‘american’ freinds say it at work, so i use it now. november was a good month.

kymora was citizen of the month! We were really surprised and proud of her (such a bad pic)
We went to visit mihan, tala, malaya and the yu cousins during veterans. It was so nice to see them. The kids did good on the plane, but were terrors in the airport. Oh,yah, we slipped kainoa some benadryl too.. whoops.

Kymora had so much fun with the girls. Too bad our w/e got rained out. That motivates us to visit again, so we can do the things we wanted to...

This girl was kainoa's playmate since they often got left out from the big girls.. :(

So we are now in December...
Kainoa is a character. What does he do you ask?
He does ‘scary’ on command, which is kind of a growl.
He makes a ‘surprised face’ which is this:

Sings in baby language. Which I think is his adaptation of ‘hail holy night’
my tita leah said its time for him to learn how to talk.. he disagrees.
He loves to move/push things around chairs, laundry baskets, boxes
He is still the busy body, the eater, the i-grew-2-inches-in- one-month 14 month old.

Kymora is so into jump rope ever since tala taught her

she's doing very well in school. we are so proud of her. the girl can talk, but you guys know that. things are going good in our house :)

rewind to oct 31

it's been so long. lets go back, waaay back, to halloween that is. my kids were superheroes for halloween.

meet spidey
and super girl

my family came over (changing daisy tradition) and they had a good time.
a lot has happened for us the last month. we have moved and during that process, i can't find my camera adapter. the one from the comp to the camera. so again my blogging is lagged and put to a halt. any ideas on what i can do? please let me know.

i hope, more to come.
