Barber's Point

With only a few days before baby comes, I'm trying to take the kids out and do things before we become homebound with a newborn.  We went to Barber's Point with our good friends, Katrina, Evy and Cora.   

 

 This is what happens when you leave the sunscreen out...

Did I tell you Jazzy loves goggles?!

The kids loved chasing the waves

Zion is a fish in the water.  He LOVES his boogie board and is not afraid to go catch the "big" waves.

Jasmine refused to wear her swimsuit after an unfortunate incident: she started screaming and pointing at her diaper, I quickly took everything off only to find a bumblebee inside!  Poor thing!!

Zoo Field Trip

 

 We joined Zion on his preschool field trip to the zoo.  It was fun to go, the kids loved it.  We even ran into Zui's sister Leuha and her kids there.

After the zoo the kids went to the waterpark with their cousins.  Busy but fun day!

Growing up

Look who's riding a two-wheeler!! At age 3 1/2 I have to say I'm impressed! Zeya is loving being able to ride alongside the other big kids :)

Jazzy and her tube

 Jazzy loves this tube.  It is definitely now "hers" and she carries it with her everywhere.  She loves rolling it around the house, then plopping inside to take a rest.  She grabs her goggles and lays in it like she's at the waterpark.  Such a cute sight to see :)

Goodbye, Hesses

We said goodbye to our dear friends, the Hesses, this week.  Micaela and I have been running buddies, visiting teaching companions, and just good friends full of playdates for the kids.  We had a girl's night out for everyone in the ward. 

We had them over for dessert the night before they left.  Sure gonna miss them!

Ward Camp

 We camped two nights at Bellows with our Ward Camp.  I actually enjoyed it more than I thought I would.  The nights were long but the days were so fun.  The water was an amazing color of blue, the kids had so much fun playing outside non-stop, and loved having their friends to play with only a tent away. 

 The kids loved this little river that came from the ocean and headed under the bridge.  So shallow, but just enough water for them to walk their boogie boards up and go for a little ride downstream.

Anjuli trying out surfing :)

The ultimate highlight: watching the kids ride their boogie boards in the "big" waves, as Zion would call it.  They actually were pretty big for him!  Zion never tired, going out over and over again, and was completely independent catching those waves.  I was so proud of him!

Love this pic :)

Jazzy turns 2!

Jazzy was sick the whole week of her birthday.  She had a high fever and canker sores in the back of her throat (maybe hand foot mouth?).  Sleepless nights, not eating during the day, cry cry cry... it was a hard week.  Still the kids were so excited it was her birthday so we went out to celebrate anyways, doing what the kids have been begging to do: bowling!

Jasmine managed to have a good time anyway.

And I got these cute smiles out of her!  The best part of my day :)

At age two Jazzy is definitely becoming a toddler.  She says a bunch of words like "guk" (truck), "eee" (kitty), and "caco" (staccato--thanks to Little Einsteins).  She loves to wear slippers, anyone's slippers, sometimes even our neighbor's size 13 ones :)  She loves being outside, playing with water, riding her bike, doing puzzles, playdough, and putting coins in the piggy bank.  She loves running from the bath to her room naked, wearing a purse around the house, goggles on her head, and giving herself kisses in the mirror.  She has an adorable laugh and infectious smile.  Geeze I love this girl :)  Happy Birthday to my baby!
