Picture Happy!

I had to add a few precious collages of my babies!

Check out my photographer @ heathermariephotographie.blogspot.com!

We love straws!

A silly picture of Kaile... she is a total ham for the camera!
My kids LOVE when daddy gives them drinks like this... it was hilarious!

Koa enjoyed "wawa" and would laugh HYSTERICALLY after each sip. I love the simple things that make them so happy!

We had a low-key memorial day weekend... I really just enjoyed having TIME with Glenn! We went out to dinner one night... did a little cleaning... and had a nice bike ride together! The time I get to spend with my hubby is cherished deeply!

And the winner is...

*****BRITTANY*****

congrats on winning my 1st ever give-a-way!

What is your fav color?

Do you like contemporary dishes or a more traditional style?

I am so excited to "create" a cute dessert stand just for you!

Sickies, Smartie, and a give-a-way!

Both of my little love nuggets are SICK and it's so not fun! I feel SO bad for them! They have just been laying around the past couple of days... I cannot wait until they get back to their crazy, fun, active selves (although, I love that they are EXTRA cuddly when they are sick). Get better little lovlies so we can get out of this house and play (I haven't been to target for days... ugh)! By-the-way... I must brag about my totally hot and smart hubby... 100% on todays final... 1 more to go! This semesters GPA is like a 3.75!

So... in my 100 posts I have not done 1 give-a-way (I am totally ashamed of myself)! It's definately time! I have been a bit obsessed with cute/funky cake/dessert stands... so I have decided to share my love of platters with one of you! Wednesday I will pick one "commenter's" name out of a hat and personalize a cute stand for you! Good luck!

Photo Shoot!

My BFF/Cousin/Personal Photog was in town for mothers day so we did a mini photo shoot of the kids. It was a little stressful, but fun! I had to get some pictures of them in their little hawaiian clothes that Grandma Deena sent from Hawaii. Check out Heathermariephotographie.blogspot

"I really miss my dad..."

I absolutely ADORE my husband! He works so very hard and always says that myself and the kids make him want to work even harder. I love him for having such ambition because I know he wants to give us the best (and he does). Lately Glenns schedule has been CRAZY and we really miss him! 12 hour shifts at work... 7pm-7am... sleep til noonish... go to school... come home in time for dinner... then back to work to do it all over again! We miss you hunny, so much! Today I had a conversation with Kaile that went a little something like this...

Kaile: "mommy, I really want my daddy cause I really miss him"

Me: "I know hunny, but he's working"

Kaile: "all daddy does is school and work, school and work"

My heart totally MELTED and I felt really sad for her! She just loves her daddy and doesn't understand why he's not around all the time like mommy. We love you hunny... and really appreciate everything you do for us! WE MISS YOU... cannot wait til you're done with this crazy schedule! XOXO

Mothers day...

I am eternally grateful to my mother for all that she has done and continues to do for me and my family...

Thanks for giving me life

Thanks for kissing my boo boo's when I got hurt

Thanks for always keeping me fed and warm

Thanks for not killing me when I was a teenager (although, I am sure some days you wanted too)

Thanks for being there for me while I was getting ready to be a mom

Thanks for being the "best grandma ever"

Thanks for setting a great example of what a mother should be

Thanks for all of the little things you do that make a big difference in my life!

Thank you to my MIL Deena for being such a loving and caring person! We love you so so much and miss you dearly... can't wait to see you this summer! Thanks for raising Glenn to be such a hard working, loving, compassionate person! I am so grateful for all that you do for us!

Princess Kaile...

Kaile is OB-FREAKING-SESSED with "Princesses" so when Aunty A asked if she could take Kaile to Disneyland how could I say no?! Kaile was STAR STRUCK!

She had such a great day! Thanks Aunty A... I think it's time for me to get my pass!
