B-Ball

We took Leva to try out his power wheel. No surprise, he was more interested in the basketball. Boys will be boys I guess.. I'm still trying to figure out what to do with that dang fuzz in the back of his head. Any time he sits back it'll get that way... HELP!

Snow

Just

wanted to show Gigi some pics of when it snowed here in Vegas. I know she was bummed cause it happened a wk or 2 after she left... I think?.. We didn't let leva out because he already had a runny nose. I wonder what he would've done if he got a chance to play in the snow.

Crazy Cousins

Siu and Matt came for a surprise visit from Az this Christmas wknd. What a nice surprise! It was definitely a crazy wknd with the kids. I say crazy only on behalf of these kids. There's no telling what they will do when they're all together like this. It's so funny to watch because when they don't think your looking they'll do the most random things. I really wanted to get a pic of them together (minus the two babies, that would've been a bigger headache) because I don't have any so the pic of them on the couch was the HARDEST to take of them all. None of them would sit still and when we told them to smile they all made different faces. I tried to get one of just Matthew jr and Leva alone and my niece Lina jumped in at the last minute. That is so her. If there's a video camera on or someones taking a picture she will either jump in front of everyone and block them out or she'll put her face right in front of the video camera and smile the whole time. It's hilarious! The other baby in the pic with Jesse is my nephew Longani, he and Ke'ala are 2 wks apart. The kid checking out the horse is his bro Latu. He is the craziest of them all he cracks me up with the things he does. My sisters Siu and Moli are both prego right now, I can't wait for the new additions!

Miss Thang

My little Ke'ala bear. This girl's got cheeks for days. A huge difference from her 5 pound days. She's 2 1/2 mo. and smiling and cooing. The sound of her voice is soooo niiice...

Big Bro

Ever since Ke'ala was born Leva's been really good with her. His first reaction to her was a smile and then he instantly grabbed for her little fingers. Since then he's never stopped giving her hugs and kisses. He always grabs for her fingers or toes when he gets excited and gives them a squeeze. She hates that! Whenever she's in her little blue chair, my big monster always trys to climb on and sit with her. The big lip is his way of kissing her. Most times he'll kiss her but when he's being too rough with her I'll tell him to be gentle and he just sticks his big lip out and moves his face from side to side in the air next to her face. He loves to help hold the bottle when I feed her and when her binky falls out of her mouth he's always there to stick it back in... even though he just pokes her in the face with it.. He's such a big friendly giant when it comes to her. I love the way he is with her! This is what he does with her when we let him loose.

Power wheel

We got Leva a power wheel for christmas, he's still getting used to it, I think the sound of the motor kind of freaks him out. Probably because it sounds a little like the vacuum, which he is barely getting used to, but we got it because he loves anything that he can ride on. When he first saw it he started to check it out like it was eye candy and then gave it a hug. We put him on it and he was totally confused, trying to see who was pushing him. My nephew, unlike Leva, hopped on and rode it like he was a pro, it was soo cute!! We put both of them on and let them ride together I just love the picture of Matthew smiling and leva freaking out in the back. Matthew would just ride until he hit something and couldn't go any further. I love that they're so close in age (2 mo apart).

Climber

just being silly trying to get to the computer screen

trying to get to the oreo's

over the computer screen, now he's interested in everything else that's on the desk. ( I know my pic is'nt right side up, my comp is being slow right now so this is how it'll stay til i fix it!)

Just like any other kid Leva started climbing things before he could walk. This seems to be his favorite thing to do now-a-days. It all started because Jesse left a bowl full of reeses pieces on the counter, now he does it at least a handful of times a day just because he can. If it's quiet we know he's either on the computer desk, the counter, or in the trash.

AZ

The week following Thanksgiving I went with my family to Arizona. It was the shortest weekend ever, but it was soo nice to see my 2 sisters who don't live near the "bunch". I'm really happy my mom talked me into going cause I got to spend some quality time with my sis, her son, and her iron chef hubby. Most of all, our boys were each others playmates for the wknd and what an eventful wknd it was!... I miss my nephew!!!!

Here we go...

In an attempt to keep in touch with family and friends I'm giving myself up to the blogging world. I hope I don't get sucked into this like everything else, but I'm sure I will. Chui, Yabs, Lyns and Gigi.. this is for you's!
