Happy Birthday, Bub!

My baby is 8 years old!!!

The 7th was Bub's 8th birthday! :)

We celebrated with his papa (my dad) at CPK for lunch.

That's his favortie place to eat.

Then I took him to Toys R Us so he could

buy something from the birthday money he got.

Then yesterday he had a doctor's appointment,

but after I took him and Mimi to the movies.

We watched Madagascar 3. I thought it was really good.

The kids really liked it. :)

Today we had a family party for Bub's birthday.

He had an "Angry Birds" themed party.

I bought and made decorations, and I made the cake myself.

Spuer proud about that! Hahaha....

He loved it! :)

Purple Belt & Fave Photo

Bub got promoted to a junior purple belt this week at kenpo. :)

Yay! I am so proud of him. 

He's been really dedicated and has not missed a single practice.

Perfect attendance! Hehehe... :)

So...it's already June! This year is going by fast.

It's almost half way through. =/

Anyway, this is my favorite picture for the month of May. :)

Isn't he soo handsome?

Hehe... :)

Hi, there.

Hello.

It's been awhile. :)

I caught a cold this weekend, but still managed to take

the kids to the beach on friday. We've been going to the beach

every weekend for the past few weeks. We usually go on saturday or sunday,

but since it's a holiday weekend, we decided to go on friday.

Plus, every friday they have fireworks. So the kids were excited about that. :)

My uncle bought a paddle board, and now I am totally addicted!
Even the kids are getting into it. :)
It's so much fun! Hehehe...

How's your weekend going so far?

The kids and I stayed home from church today. Bummed about that,
but it's better than getting other people sick with my germs.

I need a Vitamin C IV, but maybe a cold buster from Jamba Juice will do. :)

Blessed Sunday :)

Today was such a blessing.

We had a guest speaker at our church this morning.

I don't want to disclose his information,

but I will tell you that his message was awesome.

It blessed me and made me think of what I am doing with my life.

How I need to really get my stuff together and focus
on what God wants me to do with my life.
How I can bless and help others.

After church, My (step)dad took the kids and I out for lunch and

got the kids a treat. :)

It was really nice speding time together.

The kids love their papa, and enjoy spending time with him.

Today Bub had a little showcase at school about his field trip

to a senior citizens home. He made an acrostic poem, a wordle ("word cloud"),

and a computer drawing. He did very well. I was very proud of him. :)

I love seeing the work he does in school.

I just had to take pictures. Hehe.. :)

Beach Days

This weekend I took the kids to the beach.

It's become a weekly routine for us, and I feel blessed

to live in a place where I can go to the beach anyday of the week

and any season and it's just so beautiful. :)

I also went to the beach today with Mimi and my sister.

We usually go to Ala Moana Beach, but today we went to the Hilton lagoon.

It was much calmer and not too crowded. But it was a monday,

so I don't know what it's like on the weekends.

It is a man-made lagoon, so there are no waves and no worrying

about sharks. (That's what I'm always paranoid about...lol)

Spring Break 2012

Spring break is over.

Today, Bub went back to school.

I'm sad that it was only one week. I wish I could spend more

alone time with the kids, even though they drive me crazy sometimes.

That's kids for ya, right? LOL! :)

Here are some photos of this past week.

Sharpie Mustache's.

Jamna Juice.

Yummy Desserts.

St. Patrick's Day.

Green Cookies and Movie Nights.

Happy Girl's Day

So, for Girl's Day I usually make homemade mochi,

but this year I didn't have time to do it.

I just spent time with the kids. I took them to Ala Moana.

We went to the Disney Store. They were having this "Disney Quest"

game for the kids to play, and they got a little puzzle as the prize.

After that we just ate lunch, then I took them to get shave ice

at the Shimazu Store down the road from our house.

They have the best shave ice! Better than Matsumoto's in my opinion.

=

My dad came over later to cut Bub's hair. It was getting kinda long

and he said he had a hard time seeing in Kenpo.

I also decided to cut Mimi's hair. This was the first time I ever cut the

length of her hair. I cut her bangs before, but never the length.

It's a little shorter than what I wanted, but it'll grow.

Fishies & Starbucks

Yesterday Mimi and I went to Ala Moana.

We were on the hunt for the perfect birthday present for daddy.

We went to a couple of stores and finally got it.

And what's a trip to Ala Moana without stopping to look

at the koi fishes. :)

Pretty, aren't they?

It was a pretty gloomy day, so I didn't want to stay

at the mall for that long.

After the fishes we stopped at Starbucks and got a couple

drinks before heading home. :)

The Secret World of Arrietty

After church, we took the kids to see a Studio Ghibli film,

"The Secret World of Arrietty". It is based on the award winning

novel, "The Borrowers".

I thought it was okay. It's not something that I would

want to watch again and again.

Personally, I think "Ponyo" and "My Neighbor Totoro"

were a lot better. The kids seemed to like it though. :)
