Lego madness

With a house full of boys we have a house full of legos. Most of the time they look like a big mess like the photo above. Last week we went to Easton mall and found this awesome lego store. Of course we couldn't leave with out scoring some new legos. Can I just say I have a love hate relationship with these little tiny things. They cause a huge mess, I am always cleaning them up and stepping all over them.....

BUT they are also HOURS of entertainment. These boys LOVE to play with them!Thank you to the man or women for inventing these annoying, yet very entertaining toys. YOU ROCK! Thanks to these legos I can actually cook dinner with out 3 little people all up in my space.. =)

Smores'

I have been such a blogging slacker. I have good reasons though. I have always been a wannabe photographer. I finally got a nice, fancy camera and have been practicing a lot. My friend Kristen who is a photographer and a photoshop genius has been helping me out. She used to teach photoshop classes and is giving me one on one classes. So that is what I have been up to. One day in the near future maybe I will start posting some pictures that I have been working on. Anyway......I am so happy winter is over and we can start enjoying the outside world more! =)
After Kai went to bed the other day we ventured outside ,made ourself a little fire and made smores with strawberry marshmellows. YUM!

Easter Season

Better late then never posting these. =)
Easter time was fun as usual. Full of awesome weather, family, Easter day barbecue, egg hunts, coloring eggs, and of course Easter baskets.

Eli's Awesomeness

Just about everyday Eli models some very nice outfits ,makeup and accessories for me..He is seriously so funny! I just flipped through some picture folders from the past year and here is some of his awesomeness!

This is Eli and his buddy Ethan...I am sure this was Eli's idea.

This last one is my favorite. =)

Goodbye Curls

A few months ago Kai's hair started to show signs of curls and I was so excited! I have always dreamed of having a curly haired kid. I thought with my husband being Japanese and having the straightest hair ever I would have absolutely no chance of that happening. I dont have curly hair but my brother and some other extended family members do.
Well the problem is Kai's hair is really only curly after bath time. Then he takes a nap or goes to bed and wakes up with mostly straight hair again. I kept holding out that it would turn more curly because he looked so freaking cute for the short periods of time when it was actually curly. Well, people strated commenting at church or even the grocery store that its starting to look like he needs a haircut. Finally I gave in and I am a little disapointed that I did. I cut all my boys hair and it was haircut day for Kenta, Noah and Eli so I decided to do Kai's also.

AFTER:


He doesn't look like my baby anymore, he looks like a little boy!
What do you think...Curly (even though its not always curly), Mohawk, or flat?
Whatever though..... he is still such a stud! =)

Cute boys

This is my personal opinion but I think my kids have the best grandma in the world! They are so spoiled. She is always doing nice things for them and for valentines day she got them some ballons and treats. Also My aunt Diane and my Grandma T. from Utah sent the boys some treaures and treats for v-day also. My kids are so lucky to have so many people that love and care about them.

This was Kai's first sucker and boy did he LOVE it! =)

yuminess

After freezing their little bums off outside, there is nothing like stripping down and warming up with some hot chocolate. YUM YUM...
I love that these 2 boys of mine are best friends. (well most of the time) =)

Snow time

I just have to say that Ohio is COLD. To COLD! I have never expereinced this kind of cold before. Yesterday morning my car door was completely frozen shut. I was pulling and kicking it trying to get it open. After about 5 minutes I almost froze to death but I finally got it open.
The kids could care less about the cold. They are loving getting all bundled up to play in the snow multiple times a day. (It's quite the process!)
.......I wish I was in Hawaii

Birthday Boy

My youngest little guy Kai turned ONE years old on December 15th. December was such a crazy month so I am just now getting around to blogging about it.
We had a little birthday party at my moms house for him. Kai is still the sweetest most laid back kid I have had. He has the cutest smile with his 8 big teeth. He started walking the week of his birthday and now all he does is walk! No more crawling for this little guy! He loves every kind of food. I have never had a problem feeding him any food, he loves it all! It is so fun to watch him interact with Noah and Eli. They all play together so well and Noah and Eli are always watching out for Kai. They are both great big brothers to him. Kai absolutely loves bath time. All he does is splash so there is a flood in my bathroom when he is all done. =)
His 1 year old check up is not until next week so I am not sure about his height but I do know he weighs 19 lbs. So he is still just a small little boy.
I am so in love with this little boy and am so thankful he is all mine! =)
Happy birthday sweet boy.

Here are the pictures from his birthday fiesta.
