My baby is already 1!!!! This year flew by sooo quickly, it feels like I just gave birth to her. It’s so hard to believe that it was a year ago that I was in the hospital trying not to give birth too early. I held off for a full 5 days before she got impatient and entered this world. She was such an incredible blessing in a time of some very unfortunate illnesses that took 2 very important people from us just 2 months after her birth. She put smiles on our faces when we needed it the most.
Last night we opened presents and had some cake and ice cream. On Saturday is when we’ll be actually celebrating. So I will have lots of pictures to share with you.
Life has been pretty busy. I wish I had more time to sit at my computer and blog- it’s the one thing that really helps me escape, this and reading a book or watching a good movie. Honestly it’s so hard to get a good amount of downtime to do either.
I love this picture of Aria! She started a little cold last week so obviously she was very grumpy so I’m glad I caught one of the rare moments when she was happy. She’s constantly wanting to be carried, she’s had a runny nose that had her throwing tantrums because she was so irritated and there have been a few sleepless nights. It’s so sad and at times frustrating. Of course I can’t blame baby but when I have to get things done sometimes I just have to put her in her crib and let her cry while I try to do as much as I can. I’ve been feeling like a zombie for almost a week now.
Last week Friday was my son Maui’s homecoming football game and senior night. They won!!! He played so well and it was nice that so many of my family members were able to show up and support him. This Saturday is their last season game before heading off to the playoffs. Hopefully they can make it pretty far (fingers crossed).
We very rarely take pictures with all 6 of us in it. Even in this picture my mom is included lol. Maybe for Christmas this year we’ll get some professional ones done with all of us.
On Saturday Tea went to my niece’s birthday party. My cousin let my niece invite a few of her closest friends and had someone come over and give an art lesson. They were all taught to draw the same thing- a picture of a mermaid. Tea sent me this photo of her painting. Kahele and I were so confused on what we were looking at lol. Kahele saw a blue volcano with orange lava flowing into the sea and I…. sort of agreed with him hahaa! But when Tea came home she explained that the blue volcano is actually the mermaid’s hair and the orange is her tail! Do you see it now?! She loved it so much that she wants to paint all the damn time now. Maybe she has a future, she’s way better than her father and I am for sure.
Sunday BBQ was so relaxing! The weather was so pretty and the sunset and rainbows were gorgeous.
Well, that’s pretty much been whats been going on in my life as of late. Hopefully I’ll have a new post soon!
Can I just say that this year is flying by so quickly. So much has happened this year and so many changes are taking place in my life which is making it seem like my little baby is growing up way too fast. Aria is probably my last baby so I really try and be present in every second that I spend with her. I can’t believe that in just 4 months she’ll be a year old! In Hawaii we usually throw a big luau for the baby’s first birthday. I did this for my two boys but not for my daughter and I’m debating on whether or not Aria will get one. Money is so tight and if I’m gonna dish out 5grand on a party to feed and entertain everyone else I think it’s probably better to just plan a trip and take my family to Disneyland!
This little girl loves being outdoors. As long as she’s being strolled around or in her walker she’s happy. Over the weekend we finally took her to the pool and she loved it. We can’t wait to take her to the beach.
My second born turned 12 yesterday! TWELVE! I can’t believe it! He’s going through some major changes in life and it’s so exciting to see him growing into a such an amazing young man. He recently got accepted into a really good school that he’ll be at from 7th grade through his senior year and is attending a mandatory summer program that he is absolutely loving.
To celebrate we took his closest cousins bowling and then we followed with a BBQ at home. Lemme tell you… bowling is the perfect thing to do when you have kids and adults of all ages. So much fun.
I love this kid so much there are just no words.
I cannot believe how fast she’s growing!!! She’s just about crawling now but its taking forever because she is sooo lazy. It’s the cutest thing to watch her try to scoot and then just give up and put her head down and lay there. Every day she’s making more and more progress that I’m confident by next week she’ll be all over the place.
We’ve all fallen in love with her laugh. We all look like complete idiots doing things to get her to laugh. In order to get that hysterical laugh we literally need to jump around and make crazy sounds and motions.
This summer we’ll be introducing her to the beach.. finally!!! The weather here (especially in Kaneohe) has been so overcast so we haven’t gotten around to the beach yet, but this summer we plan to do a lot of beach days so I pray she likes it. Kahele cannot wait to get her in the ocean.
Good Morning Everyone! Once again my weekend went by way too fast! Busy Busy Busy! On Friday evening we had a BBQ at my house. Sorry there are no pic to show except for these pretty cupcakes. I was having way too much fun drinking and catching up with friends and family that I honestly didn’t even have my phone on me. But the cupcakes were very pretty…
On Saturday Kuha’o had to take his SSAT’s while Tea had a baseball game. At about 2pm the kids and I headed over to Maui’s baseball game while Kahele headed off to his track meet. Maui did so good as catcher, but unfortunately they lost. Here’s a Vine that I got of him throwing out the guy heading to second base. Yay!
Sunday, we had some free time in the morning before heading off to Kuha’os baseball game (yes, baseball consumes all of our time). That evening we BBQ’d (again), this time at Kahele’s parents house. The evening was so pretty. Aria even seemed to be relaxed in Daddy’s arms.
