Zion's Baby Luau

We had a small baby luau for ZyZy on Saturday--we only invited the Kim family (which is still a lot of people!). Of course it was St. Patrick's Day themed, so we had corned beef and cabbage for lunch, plus green grapes, spinach, and green mochi!
We played a few games about Zion and St. Patrick's Day. Here is Anjuli and Ka'imi looking tough.Zion wouldn't eat anything but his mint oreo icecream cake.

He and Anjuli both devoured theirs. Now if only I could hide some vegetables inside...


Yum!

Later that night we all went to the beach, near Haleiwa. There were a lot of turtles really close to shore. I still feel so blessed we live in such a beautiful place.
Anjuli just loves her cousins :)

This is how I found Anjuli and Zion in the tub a few days ago...Anjuli loves to bite the teether and then "share" it with ZyZy. So funny!
Time for a haircut for this little boy...

I just love my cute kids!

Happy Birthday ZyZy!

I can't believe my little boy is one already! Where did the time go?!

We started off Zion's bday with Lucky Charms (of course) not like he ate any. Actually, he did eat one marshmallow. Anjuli inhaled them after I made her eat oatmeal first :)
But hey, they're healthy for you! Calcium and Vitamin D--who knew?! Zion got a train for his bday, which immediately Anjuli claimed as hers. She's still having a hard time sharing.. I like this pic of Daddy and ZyZy in matching green :)
Zion was not one for birthday cake. He took off all the frosting and flung it off his fingers to the side of his high chair. I don't think he even tasted a bite. At least it was good entertainment.
It's fun having a St. Patty's Day baby :)

Happy Birthday ZyZy! We sure love and adore you!

Cute Kids and a Recital

Anjuli, sporting one of many hats. She loves hats and is always putting them on.

Don't I have the cutest little boy?!

Our friend Chad Shumacher came into town to play a piano recital at BYU-H. We were both Piano majors at the same time. It was great seeing him again.

He did incredible at his recital! Great job, Chad!

My Little Anjuli

I can't believe how much my little Anjuli has grown up in the past few months. It seems ever since she turned two she's just been talking non-stop, always surprising me with new words she's picked up. Her longest sentence she's said is "No Mommy, I don't wanna go sleep"--one I'm sure I'll hear often.
Anjuli adores her Daddy. She loves riding piggy back especially.
Zui made Anjuli a sushi roll of rice and tuna, which she actually liked! I couldn't believe it, when she put it in her mouth I said, "ooh, Anjuli yuck-- yummy!" I guess she has Zui's tastebuds...although it probably is a good thing she likes sushi since she's growing up in Hawaii.

Anjuli loves to ride her bike, tickle Zy Zy under the chin, and look for dumptrucks. In fact, whenever she hears the garbage truck coming down our street she runs to me and yells "MOMMY, COME! CUK! CUK! (truck)" So we go outside and watch the dumptruck do its thing to our dumpster and about 4 others as we follow it around.
Here is Anjuli telling Mommy to sit and ride her bike. I did it once (just about killed myself) and now she thinks it's so funny to watch her mommy ride her bike, she wants me to do it all the time. I'm sure it is a sight to see.
Other things I love about my Anjuli: she often pretends she's sleeping when I want her to do something. It's so funny to watch her pretend sleep, she has this really cute smile on her face and her eyelids flutter. Then she "wakes up" and laughs.
Anjuli knows her colors, shapes, and can count to ten, although she always skips 7 and 8 :) She absolutely loves chocolate milk. Words she says I like to hear: hannah (banana), orange-y (orange) yow (yellow), and finally Ashlee (Anjuli).


I sure love my little girl!

President's Day Weekend

Lory and the fam came over from Maui for the weekend. We had a great time with them! Saturday we headed to the zoo.Zy Zy with Gideon and Ri-boyAnjuli absolutely loves the zoo. Eversince we went she is always asking about it. She says "Mommy, elephants big!" "Mommy, giraffe's big!" Monday, we all headed to the Makapu'u lighthouse. It's a great little hike followed by amazing views of Oahu. Anjuli is still talking about "Uncle Alma" since he carried her a good part of the way on the hike :) Aunty Lory and Daisy with the kids. Thanks for all the help!

Zui, Anjuli, and a bunch of the cousins hiked up to the top of this bunker.
happy family
