Happy Mother's Day

I had a great Mother's day, thanks to an awesome husband :) Zui let me sleep in while he cooked a gourmet breakfast: waffles with sauteed cinnamon apples and fresh whipped cream--yum! He surprised me with beautiful flowers, a new pots and pans set, and a homemade card.
My favorite of all was the homemade card. I was stunned he would take the time to make me something out of my own stamps and paper! In fact, at first when I saw the card I thought he bought it, then I thought wait a sec, those are MY stamps, he must have gotten my friend Teressa to make it for him! And then when I finally realized that HE actually made it, I started crying and couldn't stop...

He had the kids help and "write" me a message (that he transcribed). So funny to read their little stories.
I love my new pots and pans set! We have really been needing one, so it was a great gift.

Zeya loves being a ham for the camera.

That night we went to a Kim ohana party. Zui made my favorite: strawberry pie, it was delicious.
But the best gift of all is happy kids :) and a great husband!

Aiden's Bday Party

Happy Birthday, Aiden! Aiden turned 2 today. He was Anjuli's boyfriend back when they lived right next to us, but now that they've moved I think he's found other girls...
Anjuli loved playing in this little playground.
I wish I had pics of the dinner, it was amazing! Ribs, potato salad, corn on the cob, and rolls.

Britni has been such an awesome friend for me. She's done so much for me: babysat, brought me dinner, taken me shopping, and treats to DQ. I always call her when things are rough and I need some time away from the kids. She's the best!

The Ultimate Mommy Meltdown

Yes, I am truly a Mom. Here's living proof (other than my 2 kids...)

Last week at the beach Anjuli walked off to somebody else's umbrella. It was pretty scary--keeping track of 2 kids is a challenge. So I tried to keep a closer eye on her. But then it happened again. I was talking to my friend and got all caught up in a story, and all of a sudden I got that sick feeling: where's Anjuli? I looked to the right and left and couldn't see her, I started panicking and yelling her name. Still no Anjuli. Then I look at my friend, and she has this crazy look on her face. I look down, and there's Anjuli, sitting in my lap the whole time.
