one of these things looks a lot like the others

longest title ever... but, i can't believe how much they look alike (i know, they're related ;)

sigh, i love cameras...

bath time for mr. cakes

he's almost 14 months now. loves loves loves baths and water. just like his sister and brother. they can live at the beach, pool, tub. they are always the first ones in the last ones out... literally.

cakey's ate v came over and snapped some pics of him with her fancy lens ;) he's learning how to play with other babies.. no such luck. sorry addy.

anyway, here's some cute pics of cakey in the bath. funny because his hair is not as thick as his kuya's at this age. but it's definitely as curly...

kymora turns N I N E!

kymora,

happy 9th birthday! n-i-n-e! you are in your last year of single digits! time has flown by. what a great year you have had.

you are doing well in school, soccer is still your love, you have a new brother, and you are learning and growing so much.

i couldn't help but to get all sappy (as i always do.. you'll realize when you are a teen ;) looking at pictures of you when you were younger. i knew my life was going to change so much the day i brought you home. but, i didn't know how much BETTER my life would be.

i really miss it when it was just you and i. all day, me and you. it's no wonder you still ask to sleep with me or lay with me at night. you still aren't completely used to sharing me. but, you do well with it. you love your little brothers. it's funny to know that one day i'll be sharing you.. with friends.. and teen stuff (ick). i know i wont do well with that at all.

you are such a wonderful kid, kymora. you have a good heart. you always know what's important and you always put your family first. thank you for being the best daughter.

enjoy enjoy your birthday! we love you toooo much.

love always,

mom and dad

kainoa graduates pre k

kainoa graduated pre k this june. he starts kindy with his ate come september. this will be much different for him. no naps, more structure. but luckily, his big sister is not too far.

this has been a pretty good year for noa. although he got kissed by a girl his first day, he did do some learning (even though that girl was his 'girlfriend' through out the year..grr) he learned how to write his first and last name, his letters, numbers. he knows his days of the week, shapes, the basics.

not only has he matured a bit more (no calls to the principal's office! score!) he has grown so much. he's taller and talks like a big kid :( no more 'ba donalds', he actually says MC DONALDS. gosh, this has gone by way too fast. now it's summer and we do this again next year.
