Halloween!!!

Still learning programs....so bare with me, the pics are all different sizes. Halloween was a BUSY week. 4 costumes to make and 2 parties to attend. A bit stressful. But the kids had a BLAST. Mychaila was a Prom Queen Zombie, Ani was a Skeleton, Napela was a Pirate, and Ileana a Parakeet. I love how much Ileana has become part of the wolf Pack. She loves her brothers and sisters and they love her.
Already food on the face....

I love these kids. Soooo much fun!

Mychaila took this Picture....I found it later. She was a scary zombie

The Skeleton is coming for the Pirate....aaahhhh!!!

Ani freaked me out all evening. He loved it, he was shaking with excitment as I was putting on the makeup. I don't think a kid ran sooo fast to look in the mirror.

1, 2, 3 Check check

Soooooo, A little while ago we got a new refurbished computer. So when I tried to plug in to get my pictures off, I couldn't seem to get it to work. I thought it was because the computer was too old, but evidently I did something wrong. So now it is time to play catch up. As you can see from above, I am still trying to figure things out.

WELL, this past October 23, my mother had a birthday. Now if you ask my husband he will say she is turning 65, or 70. I am not kidding, he harrass the heck out of her. BUT... my mom is not nearly that age yet, and honestly you would have a hard time telling her age because she looks great. In fact, I think I am catching up on the wrinkles. Anyway. I wanted to post a birthday blog to my mom. She is one special lady. She is loving, and kind, and doesn't have a mean bone in her body. She doesn't speak ill of anyone. In fact, she see's the good in everyone. She is never judgemental, and she is the most honest person I have ever met. She has been a wonderful example to me, and I am grateful to have her in my life. So now, almost a month late.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!!!

Sorry the pics aren't that great, will post more soon.

What We're up to

Best of Friends and bug the heck out of eachother as well. Oh... brothers!!! The crew!

Funny part of this is that this is only 2 families. 9 Kids later....well 8 in this pic and it is one adventerous day....we went home afterwards and did lunch, crafts and movie. Surprisingly, it didn't feel like that many kids.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NAPELA!!

I Love this little boy! He seriously says the cutest stuff, and always has me laughing. He is full of snuggles and love. He loves to wrestle with his brother and sister, and play "bear are you awake?" They are his bestest friends. He loves tickles and playing outside. He just has the sweetest heart and I am sooo glad he is apart of our family!

Nana of course made another Awesome cake! Napela wanted a truck, so he got a dump truck for his birthday! This Truck had Donut wheels, wafer cookie in the back, and a truck full of goodies in the back. One amazing cake!

This boy is sooo silly. Look how he fell asleep

Ileana loves to hold Ani's hand and drag him everywhere.

Happy Birthday Papa Nui!!!

Happy Birthday Papa Nui!! We sure do miss you over here. We miss you reading Tutu Nene and each time having the story different. We miss playing hide and go seek with you, and you never leaving the safe post. We miss you running around the whole house playing tag......AND We definetely miss playing ah-ah-ah I didn't say Lucy says :)

So since you have been gone we have had to come up with other things to do....

We Love you Papa Nui

"Take a picture of me mama" Napela posing....

Ileana helps with schoolwork. Mycaila helps feed Ileana while in her cool shades.

And of course we sing songs. And this year the sound works.

Ileana is 1, a month ago

Ileana turned ONE!!! Yes.... no more babies in the house. It is very weird. Ileana is a joy in our family. She loves on everyone, she LOVES to climb (heaven help me), and she loves life in general. When she gives love, you know it is full of every feeling in her body, because she chokes the heck out of you and is kissing you the whole time. And sometimes if your super lucky you get a bite at the end. We are working on that though. She is not afraid of anything I can think of.....and when she runs she looks like a pixie running on water. She loves to read books, and loves to be nosy. If she has found something she wants, you better move out of the way or stop her fast, because she is going to get it. No matter where it is at. So Happy Belated Birthday Ileana!!! We are so glad to have you in our family. One of my first cakes I have ever done. Kailee was so awesome to help me with it.

Her when we were singing to her.

In the beginning.
