Jaden loves books

She is so cute!
I love how she gets so excited to look at books!

She looks at the pictures
and even turns the pages!

Goodnight Moon seems to be her favorite

I have always read to the kids. I've read them most of the Harry Potter books, Little House, even Paramahansa Yoganada's autobiography! We make it a point to go to the library as often as possible. I loved reading as a kid, and always hoped they would enjoy it as well. Hashanna goes through at least 1 book a week. Noe likes looking through fashion magazines and reading books that show you how to do things. Kai loves anything about motorcycles or skateboarding.
Jaden loves board books and picture books with baby faces and animals. I love DIY books and gardening books, as well as cookbooks with pictures. I love the quiet time we share when we are all reading together.

Me and my Daddy

My dad died a year ago this week.
I miss him so much!
This is my favorite pic of us.

Rest in Peace Daddy! I miss you every day.

Jaden in the photo booth 7/21/09

We were playing in the photo booth.
Got some real cute ones.
These were the 5 best.
Which one do you like the most?

I adore this face

This smirk makes me laugh all the time

I call her Drooly Bubbs

Getting ready to laugh

She just loves chewing on her fingers, as many as she can fit into her mouth!

It's hard to believe she will be 4 months old soon. Time flies when you're having fun!!!

Rio's baby shower

We had such a great time at
Rio and Sean's baby shower.
We are so excited to have
a new friend, Sophia Riley.
We can't wait to visit her soon.

Jaden loves the grass on her feet

Kai thought the bbq chicken was
the best he's ever had!!
Also that Mountain Dew... :)

Noelani loves to pose for photos

Hashanna had a good time,
she figured out that she can
hula hoop for 8 minutes straight!

Man these kids are getting big!!

sleeping kids

When Jaden was first born, we looked at Brian's, mine, and the kids baby pics to try to figure out who she looked most like. We came up with the assumption that she looked a little bit like all of us... I took this pic this morning, and WOW! doesn't she look just like Hashanna?
It amazes me everyday they grow in so many ways, their personality getting more and more amazing! I love them so much....
