what i'll miss

mornings with the kids, extra snuggles at bed time, homework, dinner together, daily life. i'm going to san diego for ONE WEEK today. no kids, no husband, no dinners to make, no showers to give, no diapers to change.... it'll be a nice little get away, but it'll be an adjustment for everyone.
please wish muelu luck! i'm sure he'll do just fine, even though he told me he has to 'psych himself up' for this. :) hopefully i can blog ... don't know what the computers are like there. (no laptop like jamie;)

love you kymora... i'll email and try to blog for you. take care of your brother... i'll miss you guys.
xoxo
momma

words that start with 's'

you guys know what his first word was... but a few weeks ago, kainoa walked up to me, brought me his shoes and said 'shoes'... it was so cute. he loves these shoes because he can make noise with the velcro. right now, he's sick, again. he has 4 molars coming in at the same time. talk about timing. so, yes, that is his extended vocab.. an expletive and shoe.. what a genius.

i'm a mother, not a chef

"i'm scared of the chicken".

kymora on why she wasn't eating her dinner.

so young

both of them. kymora looks so much like kainoa here! they are about the same age too, so it's weird. during this time we lived in an apt in long beach and only had one baby. now things are totally different.
don't ask why i'm doing a 'reminiscing blog' about kymora so much. i really forgot how she looked at this age. well, now i guess i can just look at kainoa and have a good idea :)

first

blog entry for the new year :) i hope this means many more to follow..haha..
new year's day was nice. the kids and i went to the park with my parents.
kymora was wearing her new favorite gloves that she got for christmas.
kainoa was wearing his new kawawa face. he does his every time he's about to cry. he looks part constipated, part 'ooh, feel sorry for me'. and we do. every time.
these two are pretty close. kymora is a great big sister, she always tries to entertain kainoa. and he just loooves her. he likes to hug and kiss her whenever she's around.
she's been painting my parents pots when she goes there, so i told her i'd post this pic of her and her pot that she painted.

the little guy is home sick today- again. he's stuck on my hip, therefore i can't cook/clean/do laundry. ;( tear.. hahaha..

our new year's day was spent just the way we wanted- with family. (no pics from the salanoa's boo..) sooo.. HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
