Makayla saying Humuhumu....

Here's Mak saying Humuhumunukunukuuapua'a

Professional pictures of the kids

We had pictures taken of the kids last month - first time since Elijah was born.

I'm slacking again...

Aloha!! I have lots of pictures to share with y'all!

Last month, Blain's Aunt Myke came out for a visit. She was here for a week and we had a great time. We hit a couple of beaches, went to the Swap meet (www.alohastadiumswapmeet.net), and to the International Marketplace. We also left the kids with my friend, Pam, and Blain, Aunt Myke & I went to the Arizonal Memorial.

Here are the kids waiting to go to the airport to get Aunt Myke

Can you tell that I was blocking Sesame Street?

She's here! Makayla giving Aunt Myke her lei


Elijah trying Dole whip for the first time. He LOVED it!


This guy was at the International Marketplace down in Waikiki. He sat there for I don't know how long and then every once in a while, when someone was staring at him, he'd jump at them. It was so funny!


We went up to Haliewa one afternoon to hit the beach and watch the sunset.
My poor boy got his 4 month shots that day. His eyes were puffy but he was happy.






Another day, we went to Ko'Olina Lagoons. Here's Miss Makayla getting ready to go.

Makayla is our little social butterfly and went up to this little girl and they started playing.

My little man with his sunscreen mohawk. ;D (I was playing around with photo editing)


After we left Ko'Olina, I spotted a sign and I had Blain turn around because I had to have some BOILED PEANUTS! I can't believe I got some here in Hawaii!!! They were good! Not quite as good as back home, but they'll do!


My sweet little girl got into my lipstick again. At least she didn't draw on her cheeks this time!


Elijah got cereal for the first time a couple of weeks ago. He loved it!


My big helper loves to feed her baby brother


The kids & I went down to Ewa Beach to spend the day with my friend, Lisa, and her boys, Will & Drew. We walked to the park and spent a couple of hours there with a picnic and let the kids play. I can't believe I didn't get a picture of Makayla and Will playing together or of Drew.
Elijah got his first taste of a Biter Biscuit and the boy LOVED it!! I made the mistake of taking it out of his mouth as I was talking to Lisa and he screamed at me! LOL


Unfortunately, Blain missed a couple of Eli's firsts. He is in California for training. By the time he comes home, it'll be 6 weeks. We miss him! Makayla asks everyday if Daddy is coming home today. Elijah is rolling over (when he isn't mad for being on the floor) and tries to sit up but my roly poly falls over. :D He is such a happy baby boy with lots of laughs and smiles. And he loves his big sister! He loves for her to sing to him. I can't believe he's 5 months already!!! Shortly after Blain comes home, Makayla will be having her THIRD birthday!!! I can't believe how big our little girl is getting. She amazes me everyday with the words that come out of her mouth! LOL Lately, she's been throwing things that I say to her back at me. It's funny and not all at the same time. Just today, she said something to me followed by the words, "Do you understand me?!" I heard her putting one of her baby dolls in time out the other day. And on of her latest word she has learned is the Hawaiian state fish... Humuhumunukunukuapua'a... I love to hear her say it!

Blain's parents are coming next month (a couple days after Mak's birthday). We are excited for their visit! Dewpop hasn't met Elijah yet and he was only 3 weeks old when Nana left. And Makayla is excited for Dewpop's horsey rides!
