Kono's Three Year Pictures

My sweet sister did these pictures for us while we were up north for Thanksgiving. They turned out really nice but I do regret not being fully prepared. For one thing, Kono needed a haircut. On the "cowboy" pics, I forgot a belt. The first two pictures were taken last on a different day. He had just gotten up from a late nap and wasn't cooperating too much. He's face looks dry too which is my fault. He was suppose to take pictures in his little sunday's best, but refused to so I just decided to postpone. I'd like to re-do the ones in his sweater, I didn't even realize his sleeves were rolled up, it looks a little funny. And the Asian outfit barely fit him, silly me for not trying it on him (he wore this when he was one and a half). All in all, I am grateful for these pictures (the last time he took pictures like this was when he was a little over a year). I love my cute son, he is such a handsome boy! Thanks Michele! By the way, my sister specializes in infant and child photography her website is: michelereyes.com
and her photography blog is: michelereyes.blogspot.com
She is an awesome photgrapher.

Fun Times

It was so much fun to spend extra time with family during Thanksgiving break. I was so happy to be back with my family since we aren't able to travel a whole lot anymore due to Granite's new calling and mine even. My sisters, Mom, and I took the kids to Jumpin' Jacks, a place where there are these huge blown up vinyl things that you jump on, climb, slide down and play on. The boys had so much fun that we decided to go there a second time to celebrate Kono's birthday again but this time with my family. I am either not good at taking pictures or my camera is just not as great as I thought it was (even though it's pretty new). Anyway, the first day we went there, after we were all done with that, my Mom and brother willingly watched six of the boys while the three of us sisters (excluding the youngest) who are mothers went out to eat (that was a treat, not having to worry about anything for the most part!) We even made time to stop by Victoria's Secret for a new bra! Hahaha!

This is how we found the four older ones when we came home.

Sorry it's blurry, but I loved his smile in action.

Kono's Birthday

Kono's New Best Friend

Kono got one of his birthday gifts early, this big stuffed Batman. He absolutely loves it. Sometimes he'll sit on his couch with it and watch t.v. He says it's his friend. The first night he even wanted him to sleep by us. Yeah, Kono sleeps by me still and Granite moved back to the couch. Although Batman doesn't sleep by us. I figure I don't mind at all that Kono still sleeps by me cause he's only young once and never again!

Who's the parent here??

 Kono and Nahoa were jumping on his bed having a grand ole time when I told them not to, reminding them that Nahoa got a blue eye and scrape near his eyes only the day before from doing the same thing at Grandma's house. Kono not wanting to stop, turned towards me pointing his finger to my room and said in a stern voice " Go to your room and go to sleep Mommy!" That boy says that now, whenever he doesn't want to listen he tells me to go to sleep. He's so funny!

Happy Halloween Superman!

Here's my little Superman on Halloween!
His belt was crooked, I didn't notice, I just was trying to hurry up and get a snap of him.






I made him wear the cape that his Grandma made, (it used to be his Dad's when he was this age). The cape that came with the costume looked really weird from the back, although it did look really nice from the front view. I didn't dress up this year, sadly, actually I really can't remember the last time I did, I'm such a party pooper. I wanted to this year, but had nothing at all to throw together, guess things take planning, right?

Sweet Kono

No, "Cars" isn't a part of our normal decor in our Living room... Kono did that when I was so tired the other day and took a nap. He was busy with it the whole time, moving the decals from his room to the living room. He's so cute, I told him to get me a pillow and he got it for me then I felt like I wanted a blanket too but didn't want to ask. He then said, "Mommy, do you want a blanket too?" Awww, he's such a sweetheart, my little helper.
