kainoa and knotts

equal's a love affair. unfortunately, for kai's 3rd bday, i had training in san diego. luckily, muelu didn't have school today so he decided to take kainoa to knotts for his first time.

this guy had a BLAST. muelu's report: kainoa rode the truck ride 22 times, the bus ride 15 times, and the log ride 9 times. not including the many roller coaster rides they shared. apparently, this kid was not afraid to go on anything! (and, he ate candy all day....)

these guys are serious roller coaster riders as they were at knotts from 10-6pm.

quick roller coaster video:
about the 22 second mark his whole face lights up. he's laughing and bobbling around. so bummed i missed it.



i'm so glad that muelu made a big deal of today. he's good like that...

ps- pics are from muelu's camera phone- sorry!

happy 3rd birthday, kainoa!

today my boy turned 3 :) i'm overjoyed that he is getting bigger, but at the same time, my heart breaks. you guys know how i feel about my kids getting older. bitter sweet.


this boy is my sweet baby boy. so much different from girls. from kymora. his speech isn't the best, but i think we over look that because we WANT him to still be a baby. he is definitely a true little boy. he loves cars and trucks, dirt and mud. he plays in the back yard by himself in shorts and no shoes. he's fearless. he loves dogs. his laugh is goofy. his feet smell like boy. he smiles big when he knows he is in trouble, and i give in, and look away. for some reason this kid melts my heart.

kainoa, happy birthday luv. my baby boy, 3 today... we love you soo much!

summer luvin'

happened so fast! ;) where did 2009 summer go?

kymora is in 2nd grade. she's got so many new teeth :( she looks completely different. no more baby teeth, no more baby face. she recently had 4 teeth removed like a champ.

kainoa is going to be 3. this picture is the cutest to me. even though they fight, they love each other so much. i think this picture says a lot about their relationship. funny, kainoa adores his sister so much. but she, welllll, she tolerates him. lol
(that's her flicking his head, btw)

i can't believe summer is over. no more late nights, movies, sleeping in, quick trips to santa maria, or where ever, no more bbqs, no more kids home all day. ;(
