Just a few pics to catch up...

Koa is very rapidly getting big. He turns 4 months old today, and I think he is around 15 pounds. He is wearing 6-9 month clothes. That is a big difference from the little preemie sized baby that came home with us! Koa sleeps every night from about 8:30pm to between 9-9:30 am. He is a fantastic sleeper, and does not get up to eat in the middle of the night. We are very spoiled with him! More pictures will be updated soon!

Gabi still loves holding her brother.

Koa spends a lot of time in his bouncer. As long as he can see you, he is a happy camper.


He is already making cooing noises. He is a lot of fun.


He wasn't sure what to think about the Bumbo seat the first time we put him in it. He is getting better now. He also enjoys his saucer.

Talented Sister

My oldest sister Heather is a very talented crocheter (is that even a word?) When Gabi was born she made her a Winnie the Pooh blanket. When we had Kai she asked us what character we wanted, so he got a Tigger blanket. By then I think she was sick of making these blankets. Then I had Koa. We could either pick between Piglet or Eyeore. We picked Eyeore. I think it is my favorite of them all. I love the blue and brown combination. My kids absolutely love their blankets. Here are a few pictures taken a while ago. Don't you agree these are the coolest blankets?








4 year old and 4 month old pictures

For Nathan's birthday I surprised him with some pictures of the kids. This is what we were able to get. Kai was not a happy camper, so he was only in one shot.


Our little girl is growing up so fast!

You can't tell, but the only way we could get this shot was to have Kai throw a baseball at the back drop, watch it roll off, and then he would laugh. At least we got one picture!


Koa is already 4 months old.


Kai was supposed to be sitting on the other side of Koa, but he would not sit down. So, Gabi and Koa got to get their picture taken together. I really wanted the boys together, and even had matching outfits on them. Oh well! :)


Gabi's traditional number 4 birthday picture.




This is Koa in his blessing outfit. My friend Theresea from teaching made him his outfit. She made all the kids their blessing outfits. They are very special to us.


Sitting up in his blessing outfit. If you can't tell, Koa is a very happy, smiley, content baby!

Easter 2009

We have had a busy couple of days. Here are a few things that we have been able to do this week while Nathan was on spring break.

We went and met the Easter bunny. There always seems to be one kid that isn't happy to see either the Easter Bunny or Santa. This year was Kai!

We still got the pictures just to prove to him when he is older how silly he acted when meeting the Easter Bunny! :) Even Gabi doesn't look too sure! Koa is content. He is being held by a fuzzy creature!

We got the kids pictures taken together. Gabi loves holding her little brother!
Gabi still loves to pose for pictures. She will be turning 4 in less than a month. She is getting so big!

We missed Kai's 2 year old pictures because of Koa being born early. So better late than never, here are Kai's 2 year old pictures.

Having Kai hold these trucks was the only way he would take the picture. It is still very cute.

Recently Kai has thought it was funny anytime someone sneezes. He will make fake sneeze sounds and just crack up. That is what we had to have the photographer do to get him to smile. Hopefully he will outgrow this stage!

Gabi wanted to take a picture with these fairy wings. She was very excited.

Koa is turning 2 months old this week. These are his first pictures.

Awake picture.

The kids and I made a Easter Bunny House.

Kai did really good at the beginning putting the gum drops on the walkway...then he just started eating the candy.

Gabi showing off her project. She did all the candies around the doors, windows, and roof.


Before Kai would pose for this picture he had to check to see if there were any candies left in the blue bowl.


Last week I put french braids in Gabi's hair. When we took them out her hair was cinky and he kept saying that it looked like Auntie Em's hair, and that she wanted curly hair again when she saw Emi. So, for the first time we tried sponge rollers in her hair. Look below to see how it turned out.

All her hair ready to go. Now she just needs to sleep with them in.


Opening up Easter baskets in the morning.


Kai checking out his basket.


Gabi got a new ball to play with out back.

Kai got a new ATV car. Later in the day he was trying to ride on it. It was pretty funny.


Family all together after church.


Gabi after church in her new dress Grandma got her.

Wow, curly!! I don't remember my hair ever being this curly when my mom would put sponge rollers in my hair. Gabi's hair was just tight tight curls.


As we got to church, Gabi told Grandma, "Look! I look like Annie and Auntie Em." Gabi likes the movie Annie.

The family put together an egg hunt for the kids. Kai had an interesting way to play...


He would look to see if he could open the egg, and then would stop and eat the candy. After he got some candy, he wasn't too worried about looking for more eggs.


Gabi was very excited to look for the eggs.

"Look mom, I got a Diego egg."

Eating more candy.


Check out Gabi's cute hair bows. I made them this morning before church to match her dress. They happened to match her outfit also.

Kai spending some time with his favorite uncle, Michael. (No offense other uncles!) They are walking Lolo.


Kai walking Lolo all by himself. Such a big boy!

All wiped out on the way home.


Another wiped out little kid!

A third wiped out kid = A very quiet car ride home!


Our little Easter present this year.


Obviously he was bored with me taking so many pictures. Look at that big yawn!


This was Gabi stalling to go to bed. Still super curly hair!
