Summer 2013

I can't believe i didn't even blog the beach house trip! We had a great time in San Diego summer 2013. These kids were in the water every day the entire trip. They boogie boarded (big kids), made sand castles, dug holes (kava), made s'mores... basically relaxed. it was so nice just us. the kids were forced  enjoying each others company since it was just the 3 of them. It was so nice to see them all get along. We plan to make this an annual trip since we had such a nice time.

Hurry summer 2014!!!

2014 eeek!

Can't believe it's 2014. We've been blessed with so much. To a great new year!

regrets

I normally don't have a lot of regrets. The other day, I was going through my blog and realized how much i regret not keeping up my blog. You kids are growing up so fast. So much is happening. I need to do this.

Kava is 3. He is getting big so fast. He is cracks us up every single day. The only kid that has a lisp and can't pronounce L (hewwo, for  hello, wook it, for look it). He is also the most hard headed of the bunch. Sorry, Kava but it ain't no secret. You're alwayyyyys in trouble. But, sometimes you just have to give me that smile where your eyes crinkle and all is forgotten. You LOVE LOVE LOVE your Kuya Kainoa. You guys are 2 peas in a pod. Always exploring the back yard, looking for worms and other nasty boy stuff. Kava loves to dig holes too. Or dig a hole. He digs the same hole in the yard, we joke that one day he'll find China. He also has this fetish with my arm- at night. He looks for it and kisses it, hugs it, or will say, MOM WHERE'S  YOUR ARM? I joke and say i'm going to wear a sweatshirt and he gets so mad. He's quite the character. If he loses his shoe or toy, he'll say "shooooeeee where are you?" or  "car? caaaarrrr. where are you?" it's so cute. i'm going to be so sad when he starts school. 

I really need to blog more.

Happy 7th birthday, my noa

Happy birthday, my dear, sweet, Kainoa.

You have grown up so much! I love seeing your little personality develop. You are my emotional, sensitive, sweet boy. You are quite the talker (especially when we get in the car) and  you still love baseball. I bet your perfect summer would be on a beach in hawaii eating burgers and drinking shakes. You love so many random things. As of today you love Teen Age Mutant Ninja Turtles (you are finally out of the Cars stage!), baseball, basketball, stuffed animals (much to my objection), In N Out, and movies. You are truly a kid. Super playful and silly and so innocent and pure. You're a great big brother. You also love to do what ever your sister does.

Enjoy your day. We love you sooo much.

Soccer and Baseball

The two olders love their sports right now. Kainoa has played 2 seasons of regular season baseball and one season of fall ball. He has shown great improvement. He just loves being a part of a team.

This year 2013, they were the San Diego Padres

And of course, Kymora still loving soccer. This past year was tough for her. She transitioned from one team to this new one. 2012-2013 was not the best season, but 2013-2014 should be a good learning expirience for them.  We can't wait.

Grease...our common ground

So, when I was about 5 I was completely in love with the movie Grease. My mom or tita Lennie (one of those ladies who raised me ;) even bought me a pink satin jacket so I could pretend I was a Pink Lady.

Well, about 30 years later (omg, DID I REALLY JUST SAY THAT?!) My kids are hook, line and sinker on that movie.

My dad introduced it to them via VHS (yes, he did, girl). I am proud to say it has been on heavy rotation at my parents house for the past few weeks. I love hearing Go Grease Lightning, or Brusha brusha brusha. Kava looooves all the songs.

Here's his rendition of Oh Sandy.. ahahaaahahaaa

kava turns 3

kava you turned 3 today!! these 3 years have just flown by! it seems like just yesterday that you were pulling on my leg in the kitchen not letting me cook. kava, you are one tough kid! you were the only one who would not let me out of sight. you were stuck on me so much that in the wee hours of the morning, you roll over to feel my arm. if i'm not there, you scream mammmmaaaaaaaaaa!! i have to ask you if i can go to the bathroom so you wont get out of bed crying. you also are the roughest and craziest. you have no sense of fear wheather it's dad getting mad at you or jumping off a high step at the park. but, with all that, in one gummy smile, crinkle of your eyes and nose, we give in and forget that moment that you broke the new 65" tv. yes, you did. and for 1 year, you blamed it on kainoa. to say you test us everyday is an understatement. but you also make us laugh everyday.

we are amazed that you know how to spell the most random words (yes spell) on the iphone. you know your alphabet and colors, and numbers, but when i asked if you're ready to use the toilet, you said, "NEVER".

you definitely hold your own and keep up with the older two. but, at the same time you absolutely adore your sister and brother. you are a tender heart with the ferocity of a lion :)

kava, you remind me to slow down everyday. we love you so much. we are so excited to watch you grow up into a wonderful man. you add so much to our lives. thank you!

love you forever,

mommy and daddy
