When The Cats Away

The mice will play.  My little mice have been playing with shaving cream.  I bought one bottle of cheap shaving cream, and the kids have had fun with it for 3 days. Ikaia is also sporting a mustache made from watercolors by the kids.  They all had them....wish I had a pic of THAT!

 Napela surprised me with being COVERED in shaving cream.  Even his back!

This was an unintentional  mess by Ikaia.  He found my foundation.  YAY!

Ikaia was supposed to be playing with the shaving cream, but instead he stripped and climbed into the sink and was playing with the watercolors. 

 I blurred out his "stuff".  So funny though.

 My crazy boy!

 All 3!  Love these boys!

 My auntie and cousins came over for a quick visit.

 Can't believe how much they have grown since the last time I saw them.  They are all going to be taller than me the next time I see them! 

 Daddy came for a quick visit!  It was so nice to see him.  He  is sooo missed!

 We did a faux birthday for Daddy.  He LOVES Smallville, so we made him a superman cake.  Plus after all he has been through being away, he is our Hawaiian Superman!

He was one happy camper.  We love you babe!  Can't wait till we are all together!

Ani's Baptism

Ani was baptised September 8th.   It was such a beautiful, peaceful day full of love, happiness and gratitude.  We had almost all of the family there from both sides, and dear friends there too.  I am so proud of Ani and his righteous desire and his unshaking faith.  We had actually had a family fast about the week previous.  Our prayers were answered that same day.  When I told the kids the next morning, Ani was so grateful and said, " Mom, he listened, our prayers were answered!"  He spent the rest of the morning reading his scriptures and praying to Heavenly Father to thank him.  I love how he gave all the praise to Heavenly Father and didn't take any for himself.  I love his faith and the peace it brings in our home.  And I am so grateful that the Lord answered my children's prayers and sacrifice through His tender mercies.

 Ani spent the next couple day trying with all his might to be obediant and thoughtful so as to stay clean.  It was a sweet reminder of baptism that stayed with us for several days.

We were so happy to have Daddy with us for a week.  We enjoyed every minute with him!

 Absolutely delicious cupcakes by Nana.  mmmmMMMMMmmmm

 I was so happy for Ani, I couldn't contain myself.  I HAD to squeeze this little boy!  Ignore his scared face, he loved it! hahahahahaha
