Happy 10 months, Jaz!

I can't believe my baby girl is already 10 months old! Time is flying by. This has been a month of discovery for Jaz as she has learned...how to make messes! Holy cow, this girl has really figured it out! Just look what she's been up to!! *note* These really don't do a justice--some disasters are so great I am unable to get to my camera!
Here she is in action:

TASTY FLOWERS
Who knew flowers would taste so good?
Of course picking them is almost just as fun... this is the spot where I found Jasmine screaming covered in dirt. She must have been reaching over for a flower like this and face-planted inside the garden.


TASTY DIRT

Zion brought home a plant from preschool but it didn't last too long...

TASTY TP (are you catching the trend here?)
DISHWASHER DESTROYER

KITCHEN TROUBLE
Here Jazzy and co-partner in crime Zeya, empty out all the Kix for snack time.

BOOKS BONANZA

I'm beginning to think books really do belong on the floor.


This one is more fun than trouble. I just love that she has reached that "I can finally touch the piano keys" height :)
Had to throw in this family shot at the pool today. Thanks to Aunty Becca for the snazzy sunglasses!
Swimsuit Model of the year

Isn't she precious?

Even though she does keep me on my toes, she's still more cute than chaos ;) I love my baby girl!

Mini Golf

Saturday we went to Hawaiian Waters to play mini-golf. The kids were totally enthralled and loved it.
Some actions shots...
I couldn't get Zeya to look up, he was so intent on hitting that ball!

Anjuli loves her cowgirl boots.

cheese!


We've been trying to get out every Saturday and go on a small family adventure. Fun memories :)

Hawaiian Rain

Everytime it pours Zui sends the kids outside in their swimsuits. The first time I said, Zui! What about jackets? He goes, Jenn, this is HAWAII!
It's true, even the rain in Hawaii is warm.

Home Depot Kids Workshop

Our monthly trip to Home depot for the Kids Workshop. We scored this month: Race Cars!! The kids were so excited.Everybody loved hammering the nails in and gluing pieces together.

Love the furrowed eyebrow ;)
Finished product!
The kids loved racing their cars down the track.


The races continued at home with our make shift track..
Gotta love free entertainment and free toys! Thanks Home Depot!

Great Aloha Run

My first time running the Great Aloha Run! 25,000 people, 8.15 miles from the Aloha Tower to the Aloha Stadium. I ran with my friend Micaela because Zui's too fast for me.We bought matching outfits for the run (I know, I'm cheesy)
TONS of people. Would you believe we didn't even cross the START line for a half hour after the race started?? Just waiting for the mobs of people to move in front of us. We didn't even pass the walkers until mile 4 or so. Next year we will come earlier so we can get a better line up.



We did it! Micaela and I finished in 1 hr 30 min and Zui in 1 hr 10 min. I came in 6,427th! Not bad!A fun goal, I'm glad I did it. Maybe next year I'll be fast enough to run with Zui! lol ;)

Happy Valentine's Day

The kids had a great Valentine's day. Zui and I did some quick decorations and surprised the kids with a few candies and...Lucky Charms! They loved having special sugar cereal :)Later that day Anjuli and Zion dressed up to get married. Love is in the air!
My baby girl is 9 months old today! Jazzy has grown up so much lately. She loves to put everything in her mouth--I really have to vacuum more :)

She LOVES climbing the stairs
and unfortunately has just discovered...the toilet! Aak! Super fun age, sure love my Jazzy girl.

Happy Anniversary!

Well we've finally hit the big one--SIX years of marriage! Okay, so maybe it's not that many, but something about 4 kids makes me feel like we've been married forever ;) I took some time to look at some pics of that day not too long ago.

I was SO excited to be married to my man!

Now, 6 years later I am still so happily married. Zui was full of surprises this anniversary. 5 days before our anniversary he wrote me a poem each day. One day the poem ordered me to change into my swing clothes (that he had laid out). When I came into the house I was shocked--he had transformed our living room into a dance studio! We spent the night swing dancing away, then ate icecream just like the good ol' days.

We had 2 babysitters lined up for our one night getaway. My good friend Micaela took the 3 older and Lindsey had baby Jaz. The first thing we did was hike stairway to heaven. It's like being on a stairmaster forever (about 2 hours), but with great views!

It's hard to tell, but this is a huge cliff.

The view from the top was A-mazing. You could almost see the entire island, it was such a beautiful clear day.

By the time we got down we were both famished. We headed to Zui's favorite Korean restaurant--Camelia's. All you can eat meat cooked fresh right on your grill, it doesn't get much better than this.

On Saturday all we wanted to do was relax, so we slept in, had a huge complimentary breakfast at the hotel, took a 3 hour nap, then picked up our kids. It felt so great to sleep! We capped off our getaway with a short date out to DQ for waffle bowl sundaes(thanks Joy!).
What a great night away! So glad to be married to my true love, it was definitely the best decision I've ever made. Sure love ya Babes!
