Happy Halloween!!!

Cute Noelle our niece. We had Sunday dinner and Noelle and her brother Ben came. It is so busy from Sept. 28th to Nov. 25th we have 8 birthdays. By the time it hits my birthday which is Nov. 25th, I don't want to see another cake...LOL
Ben being funny:-)

Sash and Ben the kids seem to have a lot of fun together. Kaili, Ku'uipo & Noelle are 12 days apart and they love being together:-)

What a cute cowgirl.

2 cute witches:-)

Brans buys all the candy every year and he is not cheap...LOL...Keo and Sash are so close, I'm so thankful for that:-)

I didn't know Keo pointed the gun at Kya. I love how cute they are.

Brittnie's friends came with them and this is their cute little boy Colton he is 10 months. This was a great Halloween. I love to be with my family and friends:-)

"Sweetheart"

I love these pics of Ipo. Ku'uipo was so cute she said "I felt just like a princess". The photo shoot lasted for 6 hours. She will be doing some acting and modeling. She had her first audition on Friday.
Sooo cute:-)


Growing up way too fast:-(


She reminds me so much of Stacie, not afraid of anything. Ku'uipo loved doing the play "Annie" and wants to do a lot more with acting. I'm so proud of her:-)


Kev I know where all your money is going to go. Just as well give her the credit card now...LOL

Dinner with a Birthday Theme!!!

All the cute ladies 72-94 years, all of you look great:)
My mom is 74 almost 75 and I think she is so beautiful, inside and out. We have her invite all her friends and treat them like queens. We started this last year. Last year we did a really elegant dinner but this year I wanted it to be a birthday party for everyone.

Carefree smile:-)


Make a wish mom

Cherished moments:-)


We had everyone make a wish and sang "Happy Birthday"


You can't have a birthday without presents. They each received cake pops, loaf of carrot bread, hand embroidered (cupcake) dish towels, bracelets made by Stac & Ipo :-)


The dinner was yummy!!! We had Cesar salad, zuppa toscana soup, bread sticks, fruit bowl, lasagna, and pumpkin spice cheesecake. It was really fun for me and Don, we made everything from scratch except the noodles...LOL


Look how much they look alike... It was a blessing Stacie brought Ipo to help out. She helped fan the oven smoke away from all 13 ladies. We forgot to put foil under the pans of lasagna, thank goodness we caught it early. I think the ladies have lost their sense of smell because they didn't say a word...LOL... The dinner was a lot of planning and work but the joy it gave to my mom was worth it:-)

Granny Day & Cake!!

I dread this day every year, not that I don't enjoy being a grandparent but I hate to be recognized for anything. I go for the kids but I felt bad for the kids that didn't have anyone. The teacher makes them sit against a wall and watch while the kids that had someone there take them to the book fair. I think the teacher could have had them go to recess or take them to class:-(
Me and Cute Aja

Me and Keo
Me and Ipo:-) I didn't get to see Kee because the way they did it, the time ran out:-( I think maybe they should just make it an important person day. I am a person that thinks kids do have to deal with things that are not fair but this made me sad for the other kids.

Sept. 28th is Stacie's birthday so we are celebrating it tomorrow. Ipo made Stac her cake she did a great job:-)

Colorful Sleepover :-)

Sasha is so dang cute:-) She told me this is what she thought of the new room.
Kaili & Ipo set them up a store for trading Silly Bands.
Good night cute girls:-)
Kaili look so cute as she pretends to be sleeping. We made Kaili's bed out of the square blocks.
Ipo, really looks like she is sleeping. Ipo made her bed out of the window seat:-) We had a lot of fun doing girl things.

Labor Day Weekend!!!

I love the game "Win it in a Minute" so I brought all these things for the different challenges. This one you had to start out with 2 pencils on the back of your hand then flip them and catch them. You ended up with having to do 12. Our family loves competitive games.
The quarter toss was every ones favorite because it involved money. I love this pic, Keo making sure Kev measures it right....LOL

This game was fun you take a deck of cards and have to blow all of them off but one.

This game you put the cookie on your forehead and have to use your facial muscles to bring it into your mouth. I won this challenge, I must have some big muscles:-)

Kee had a lot of fun riding but you can't tell by this pic.

Aja, is so dang strong she would pull it up the trailer so she could ride it down. She did this for a long time funny girl:-)

Aja is such a sweet little girl. I love when you tell her to do something and she will say "It's fine" I know that comes from her dad...LOL I need to tell myself that more often:-)

This kid has me always laughing. Stac said to me the other day "Mom you never get mad at him no matter what he does" I thought about that and it's true. I look at him and always smile. Keo knows how to turn a bad situation into something funny. I love him so much!!!!
I had a really great time at the cabin. Everything was stress free even with Kya being sick the whole time. I'm so thankful our friends let us use the cabin. Bruce told me the only reason I'm building the cabin is so everyone can have some great memories. Well Bruce you have already achieved that. We love you Bruce and Shelly!!!
