just like daddy

this guy wants to be just like daddy (actually so does kymora.. lol) if daddy is wearing a hat, so does kainoa. if daddy wears his LB shirt, so does kainoa. he won't stop until he's just like daddy. so this morning, daddy was lawn-mowing the grass, so kainoa did the same. he cracks me up.

goo BEACH!

kymora had her first scrimmage game playing for a club team. i have to say she surprised us. i've never seen her so aggressive. she was hustling for the ball, using her skills. she even faked out a much bigger girl so hard that the girl fell down.

i have to give my daughter some 'props' ;) at her age (or even now!) i could never play a sport the way she does, with courage and skill. i've always lacked confidence to play a sport seriously. i mean sure, i played volleyball, softball, and basketball in 8th grade, but it was more for a social aspect than competitiveness. i think most of the time i was on the bench. but kymora plays w/100%. the one thing i've noticed about her is she takes direction and applies it so well. she may not be the best, but tell her what you want her to do and she delivers. i was so proud of her yesterday. even though it was a scrimmage game, she played with full focus and drive. i'm so glad she isn't like me. easily intimidated and quick to give up. i know her confidence and drive will take her so far in life. i just love watching her grow and evolve into this little person. so proud of you kyks!

finally!

lot's of finally's! finally a new camera :) that i love. my olympus died on me, and thanks to costco and my pumping YU blood, i got a new one. finally 38 weeks pregnant. finally on maternity leave. finally blogging. finally muelu finished school and is going to take his boards soon. finally!
(kainoa kissing my belly, not a volleyball)

i'm almost there. this pregnancy has been a horror. 2 admissions to labor & delivery. got put on part time in february. lots of contractions. thank God everything is ok and almost over ;)
kyks lost 2 more teeth, is still in soccer and enjoying school.


kainoa, well is still kainoa. he told me the other day that he wanted 'mittens and chip and rock and roll ice cream'. i'm loving being home with him.

muelu's home too. waiting for that infamous board date. so proud of him. he did so well in school. but it didn't come easy. he was constantly studying, stressing out. plus my pregnancy drama didn't help. he somehow balanced school, the kids and taking care of the house .. i don't know how he did it. so thankful for him. i'm sure he's tired my complaining, but doesn't ever say anything.

that has been my life in a small nut shell. i'll definitely post pictures of the baby when he comes. sooo damn excited!!!!
