Zion and his Jacket

Zion loves this ridiculously small jacket. He's always tells me he's "freezing" (is that even possible in Hawaii??) and insists on putting it on, with the hood up, of course. He's even slept with it on a few times! So I decided this boy needed a bigger size. I went out and bought him a 3T jacket. Do you think he wears it? Uh, no. He loves this small jacket! So now the little jacket has magically disappeared...

Baby Jaz pics

So we (meaning I) wanted to get Jaz's pics taken professionally because she is so darn cute and I wanted a good camera to take a nice clean picture. Well I got the sharp picture but baby Jaz screamed the entire time. I tried everything: nursing, bouncing, the works. It would calm her down and then as soon as I would set her down to get the picture taken..."waaah!" So these are the best shots we got. I settled for "no smiles but not screaming" after an hour of hopeless picture taking... And funny, about the JAZ sign, I don't actually have a Jasmine sign up yet so I used a J from Anjuli, A from Izaiah and Z from Zion's names :) It works!

Jasmine at 3 months

We tried these at-home shots today. Zui's holding up a curtain in the background :) Can't believe Jasmine's 3 months old already!!!

The Latest

Finally catching up with the latest going on around here...

A few days back I found Zion doing his chore, putting the silverware away,
one piece at a time with his tongs. p.s. He LOVES his pirate pajamas :)


The kids join in for some exercise time with Zui!

All the kiddos on my neighbor's swing.
July 25th: Anjuli and Zion's first day of preschool!

Still best friends :)



Zion's teachers: Miss Juanita and Miss DeeDee with Miss Ellen

Anjuli's teachers: Miss Christina and Miss Noe


Baby Jazz has become everyone's favorite play toy. Zeya thinks it's soo funny to put the burp cloth on top of her head.



Anjuli joins in the fun...

Poor baby Jazz, she looks so helpless!
Last but not least, here's our FHE lesson on temples. For our activity we all helped build the walls of the temple out of TP. I said it looked like the Kirtland temple. Then Chris started laughing because it really is the "Kirkland" temple (Kirkland signature)!

Chris & Brittany's Visit

My brother Chris and his wife came to visit us for a week. We had a great time, it was so much fun staying up late, eating icecream and talking story.

Zui took them on a hike up Stairway to Heaven.



It's a hike right on the ridge that goes straight up to a WW2 communications tower.


Beautiful views
We took a trip up to the temple.

Then headed to Hukilau beach to meet up with Chris and Brit.


They had fun boogie boarding while the kids played on the sand.


Baby Jazz cruising with a sea turtle. Look how small she is compared to the turtle.

Suzie Wela Kim Ohana Reunion

Zui's grandpa is one of 14 children. They are the children of Chai Han Kim (first Korean baptized in 1927) and Suzie Wela. So the reunion was for all the descendants of Chai Han and Suzie. Thanks to Uncle Delbert and many others who planned the reunion. We had lots of fun getting to know our relatives.

Zeya with the Maui Hong girls.
Had to take this picture of my family sporting the many different Kim ohana shirts. Represent!

Baby Jazz almost 2 months old

Jasmine's Baby Blessing

Baby Jazz was blessed today. I meant to get a close-up of her in her pretty white dress but the crazies took over and I didn't. This picture was taken a few days before the blessing.

Family of four! Can you see Jasmine screaming in this picture? Thankfully she was quiet for the blessing :)
Lots of family came to support us, thank you Kim ohana!
That night we had the family over for panipopo.


The kids all ran wild, while the adults played silly games. It felt good to laugh :)

Zeya loves his Maui cousins! Daisy and Gideon
Lory with baby Jazz.
