Merry Christmas!

Hopefully, anybody who looks at this thing will have already received their Christmas cards in the mail   :-)














Don't you love our snowman?  Brad built it out of GIANT rocks...it was about 20 feet tall!

Get in Line

 What is Christmas time without the good, old Waikoloa Christmas Parade? :-)  And look!  The cute little ballerinas get to be in it again!  Sina is hanging out the window of the truck, and I guess Kaili was on the other side :-)

Spectators
 Waiting for the candy!
Cute little reindeer!

The BIG Reveal

 I tried to figure out some really cool way of sharing our secret on the Christmas Card and figured it couldn't be done justice without these pictures and the video :-)  So here it goes!

Yup!  You guessed it!  We are pregnant!  And tonight is the night we got to find out...what is it?!?!
Of course, the boys wanted a boy and the girls wanted a girl...so what better way to draw the suspense out even longer than with a cake :-)
Brad did the honors:
And the answer is....(drum roll, please!)   BOY!!! Due April 28, 2013
And for the final reactions:

Tyler, of course, is ecstatic and Kaili is reasonable (at this point)  :-)

Name Suggestions:
Tyler: Siantum
Kaili: Gilbert (from Caillou)
Brad: Coriantumer
Me: Bob the Blob

 I like mine the best :-) Ha!


Mr. Ed

 Horse lessons this week!! The best part?  2 other moms from Waikoloa carpooled so I only had to drive to Honoka'a one time!!   Yeah!  

And of course, the kids had a BLAST!

Sina-Bina-Ballerina

 A friend asked me to take pictures of my tutus for her.  Sina gladly helped me gather our (ugly) tutus from the depths of our dress up box and model them all for me :-)

I must admit...Sina is WAY cuter than anything she has on :-)


Red Eyes

 Ahhh!  The fun!  Twilight party  in full swing!

Headed out to watch the last Twilight Movie :-)


Where in the World?!

 It's that time of year again!  Geography Fair time!

This year we visited Hawaii

and The Bermudas!

They both had fun projects!  We figured out Oahu has TONS of people.  And we learned that Bermuda has had over 1000 mysterious disappearances throughout the last few hundred years (some pretty creepy stories!)
Wonder where we'll go next year?!

A Shady Crew

 Halloween!  Very fun!  With a Dad, an Indian, Little Red Riding Hood, and a Butterfly!



 And a Doll :-)


 At the Haunted House!

 Carved a Pineapple...only in Hawaii!
 Loads of candy and it was all gone the next morning :-)



Superstars


 Oh look!  I found some more soccer pictures!  Not the actual "playing" kind, but they are in their jerserys!  When the season ended, AYSO threw a party (Yeah! The season is over and we can have our weekends back!)

Go Green Geckos!


Finally, a picture of Tyler :-)
 Free food...tastes as good as it looks :-)

Dance Party

Going from one party to another!  After the Trunk-or-Treat, we zipped over to the Hilton to put on our dancing shoes, or at least we watched a bunch of cute little chickies put their dancing shoes on!
Sina couldn't get enough of her Vampire teeth so she continued to use them until seconds before they pushed her out onto the stage!  Then as soon as she was finished staring off into the distance, oh, I mean, dancing her little heart out...the teeth were at it again!  But really, the teeth did make her costume...don't you agree?!
Kaili did awesome on her Hula Ballet (danced to the Lilo and Stitch song).  She remembered all her moves and nailed it!!!  So fun to watch!

Dance friends are the best!




Oil change

 Usually when you go to get your oil changed, you sit in the waiting room and wait, and wait, and maybe watch a lame re-run of SNL or the news channel (Bor-ing)...

Well not today.  We thought ahead and brought Monopoly along with us, because who wouldn't want to play Monopoly in Les Schwabs (or where ever we were)!
 Sina was kind enough to document for us and the time never went so fast!

Trunk-or-Treat


 Weather was great!  Decorations looked awesome!  Costumes were fantastic!
We had Little Red Riding Hood join us...
An Indian...
 And a (super-cute) Butterfly!

Cut 'Em Up

 The kids did their pumpkins all by themselves this year!

They scooped the guts and Tyler and Kaili carved their own pumpkins!

Can't believe how fast they're growing up, or that I let them handle knives sharp enough to cut through pumpkins :-)
