#proud

Stepped back and realized today how proud i am of my kids.

Kainoa won a DJ party at school today because he sold a lot of cookie dough. He was the only one in his class who won. As a prize, he got to go to a DJ party (think dance). Hours were from 1 to 2:15 pm. He tells me he was shy because he didn't know anyone. But after  few snacks, he said he danced the entire time. He tells me he was really happy because he knew almost all of the songs and had a good time. I was so proud of him for overcoming his shyness and making the best out of what could have been a bad situation. I really doubt I would've enjoyed myself at a party if I didn't know anyone. Kainoa on the other hand just did what he loved- danced!

To add to his great day, he had baseball practice at the batting cages. He was so scared of the fast pitch and was nervous because his normal partner (dad) wasn't there. He cried and told me he wanted to go home. He wanted to quit baseball. But, I asked him to just try it and see if it was something he could do. After a bit of pep talking and bribery he batted. He was horrible, hitting only one ball. Again, he cried and wanted to leave. I said, just try one more time. Being a good boy, he did.  He did better. The 3rd time, even better. At the end of practice, coach told him he did a good job. Kainoa was so proud of himself. He felt great for not quitting and for sticking it out. I was suuuper proud. He had a great day!

Here's my boy at open house. Doing well in school and finding out who he is as a young man. Proud!

Proud of this little lady too :)

Got her 2nd semester report card and she got all A's and 2 B's. But, that's not the best part. She improved in every subject.  Kyks is becoming such a great young lady.

Also, her team finally won a tournament! Rock Star Cup 2014 champs. Good job, ate! Proud!
