O (PINK) Christmas Tree...

Kaile asked several times for a little Christmas tree for her room... (One just her right size, as she put it). I found this ADORABLE pink tree that I knew Kaile would L-O-V-E since she is obsessed with anything and everything pink! Grandma beat me to the punch and bought it for her and she was soooo happy!
Kaile trying to get Koa to pose with her.

I just LOVE these two cuties and am really enjoying creating special traditions with them as they get older!

Picture time!

My precious Koa!

Glenn got the kids to take a decent picture...

I have come to terms with the fact that it's IMPOSSIBLE to get a decent picture of our family!

I am NOT sure what I am doing here (maybe an Alyssa/Mayra face??)



Koa... picking his head...
Now if only we could get one with all 4 of us?!

Koa's 1st Haircut!

Today Koa got his 1st Haircut! It was MUCH needed! I've been putting it off in an attempt to keep him my baby F-O-R-E-V-E-R!
He did SO good! He was a little confused but just sat there calmly!

Almost done!

Koa with my hair dress of 11 years! I LOVE her! Hopefully now we can let his hair grow out and it will be nice and even! My baby is growing up way too fast! STOP IT KOA, RIGHT NOW!

I am thankful...

kaile... spring 2009

(excuse the out-of-order photos)

My baby girl is 3 today and I cannot believe it! Kaile was the sweetest baby! She slept through the night starting at 2 weeks... NEVER spit up... NEVER cried, literally NEVER... she was ALWAYS sooooo happy! I am so thankful for Kaile! You are so sweet and fun and SOOO full of personality! You are such a good girl Kaile and Mom and Dad LOVE you so much!

Jasmine and Aladdin

Last night we took the kids to the Disneyland Castmember Halloween Party and they had SO MUCH FUN! My moms friend works there and got us tickets! Thanks so much! Kaile had a special tram ride back to the car... she was sitting next to the girl who plays jasmine at disneyland! She had asked if Kaile would take a picture with her. It was so cute!

My mom bought Kaile her Jasmine costume at disneyland and Kaile REALLY wanted Koa to be Aladdin... of course there are NO Aladdin costumes out there so my aunt whipped up Koa's adorable costume in 1 day! They looked SOOO cute and had such a fun time trick or treating and dancing!

Life is sweet...

(fyi... Koa DID NOT eat half of that ginorm sucker... him and Kaile were saying "CHEERS!" and hitting their suckers together and his broke)

Koa enjoyed some Disneyland fun too! He is just the sweetest little guy! His favorite part was "A Bugs Land" in California Adventure and his lolli that his sister bought for him with her "chore" money! She is such a nice sister!

The past few weeks...

Have been filled with lots of fun trips to "The HAPPIEST place on earth!"

I LOVE Kaile's age. Disneyland is truly "magical" for her these days! She is in HEAVEN while visiting the place where all her princess friends live! I am SO glad that we can create all these fun memories!

Where did she come from?

Kaile is FULL of personality! She is happy, loving, smart, and I never know what will come out of her mouth next... Tonight we had lasagna for dinner and it can be a little messy so I decided to take Kailes white tank off. She started crying hysterically after I took it off and so I asked her what was wrong. I definately didn't expect the answer I got...

In a totally dramatic voice she answered

"now everybody can see my nipples!"

Ummm... is she 2 or 20?! What 2 year old worries about being shirtless at home?!
This is one of the many reasons I LOVE her SOOO much! She totally cracks me up every single day!

My little Doctor...

I think Koa needs a blue dr. kit!

Conversations with a 2 1/2 year old...

Grandma: "Kaile, what color are your eyes?"

Kaile: "Brown, just like Diet Coke!"

She definately is her mothers daughter!

4 years...

Happy 4 year anniversary to my best friend! I love you so much and look forward to loving you FOREVER!

(seriously... how did I get such a hottie?!)

16 months!

Koa is 16 months old and has definately turned into a little man! He is HILARIOUS and is the best entertainment EVER!

RUNS everywhere

he wants to do EVERYTHING that his sister does

he LOVES his doggy blankie and his baba

still such a MAMAS boy... but also LOVES grandma and my brothers and sisters

Is talking A LOT these days (not nearly as much as kaile did as his age, but hey, he's the 2nd child, and a BOY)

LOVES playing basketball and anything that invloves a ball

is such a CUDDLER and LOVES giving kisses (this totally melts me into a ball of mush)

is outgrowing his size 6 shoes and is wearing at least a 2T (he is a giant baby)

LOVES driving Kailes pink jeep and has MASTERED climbing (which I HATE because he will jump onto beds/couches etc and want to JUMP off...)

I am so in love with my little koie and am glad that I "accidently" got pregnant with him!

Becca... I LOVE these pictures!

Happy 25th!

Happy Birthday big sis!
I love you and look up to you! Thanks for being such a fabulous sister!

forgive me for these pictures... they are the only ones i have downloaded and my scanner is being crazy!

by the way... whats up with you having me in a headlock in both pictures!?!

Shine Classic 2009

Saturday August 8, 2009 was the 2nd annual "shine classic" (a surf competition/family bbq in memory of Glenns grandpa)

Kaile LOVES playing in the sand!
Koa couldn't get enough of "sand surfing" Daddy cannot wait to get him out in the water on a surfboard!

Koa giving me a sassy look with his BFF "baba"
Kaile cheering on daddy
Daddy tearing it up! Go babe!
Still looking good after hours of surfing!

The kids have been LOVING the beach this summer...
Me... keepin an eye out... Koa hamming it up for the camera
This kid ate SO much watermelon!

We LOVE summertime!

Thanks Coleen for taking such fabulous photos!

Kaile

I LOVE Kaile's age! 2 1/2 is SO much fun. She is hilarious, sweet, fun, girly, fiesty and so full of personality! She is the best big sister... she loves her "king baby" (her nickname for Koa). She is growing up so fast and it is so fun to watch her change as she grows. I love her so much!

Summer...

Since we got back from Hawaii we have been pretty busy! Glenn started school and is once again MIA... when he does have free time we go to the beach... Glenn surfed in a 70's style surf contest... lots of chick fil a play dates... chuck e cheese when it gets too hot... lots of playing at the park... and so on... sadly, I have no pictures to post because I lost my camera?! I am DYING without it but am hoping that Glenn might surprise me with the Cannon Rebel that i've been wanting for a long time *hint*hint* Hope you're all having a fabulous summer! We sure are trying to! Until next time...

The cutest baby girl EVER!

(my little cabbage patch doll... Kaile at 2 months)

I didn't enter the "blogging world" until I was 9 months pregnant with Koa, so you all didn't get to witness Kaile as a baby! She was the chubbiest, happiest, most precious little thing! She started sleeping through the night at 2 weeks and NEVER cried! She was honestly like the perfect baby! I really miss my teeny tiny little chubby Kaile! I cannot believe that she will be 3 in just a few months!

14 months!

I miss doing monthly posts about my little man! He is growing up WAY TOO FAST! He is just the sweetest little guy ever! He is so affectionate and loves giving kisses! He loves the beach... popsicles... his doggy blankie... his mama... and his baba!
Boys are so much fun and are just so sweet! I am so in love with him and although he is already huge... i am trying desperately to keep him my baby for as long as possible!
