Christmas and a look back at 2012


it's been a long time since i've blogged, so i just wanted to catch up on a few things before i forget or before my kids are old enough to drive.

we finally moved back to our old house. more room for everyone, but less back yard. boo. kyks finally has her own room, painted her favorite color decorated her own way. she's really getting older and bigger. she's almost as tall as me and acts just.like.me. she's a smart aleck  witty and sarcastic. but, yet she's very kind, empathetic, and athletic. not like me. she's in 5th grade this year and will go to OSS camp for a week. she's showing signs of pre-teen-ness every day. excited yet sad at the same time.

kainoa is a trip. this is his second year playing baseball and he's really showing a lot of progress and promise. he loves the game- thank goodness. he's tried every sport, and this is his fav. he's still quite the charmer and lady killer. this year, he kissed a girl on the lips. someone please help me. he's coming along in school, doing really well in math. i was nervous for 1st grade because Kindy was quite a challenge for him in the listening department. but, his teacher said he's a great listener and helper. the listening part i dont  believe so much ;)

kava. omg. kava. when you read this when you're older please remember that i love you. kava is quite the rug rat. if he was my first child, i'd be finished with kids. he is unlike the others. he's agressive, rowdy, loud, never runs out of energy, and all around crazy. he is now into the tantrum phase which makes it quite the pleasure to go to dinner or target. but, i wouldn't have it any other way. well maybe, xnay on the tantrums..:) he is really funny, especially when he breaks out in dance and song. gangham style and i love you by the beatles is on the top of his play list. he's reaaaaalllly into power rangers and anything with swords. he's 2 1/2 right now. and talking soooo much. i forgot how fun it is at the 2-3-4 ages.

these kids are what keep us going. on our toes every moment yet, tugging at our heartstrings at the same time.

what a great year. more to come, i'm sure!
