It started snowing this morning, so we bundled everyone up and went for a walk.

Breaking News

As I type, Leslie and Kai are portraying Mary and baby Jesus in a little church play. I offered to be her “make up man” but she turned me down.

Kai 7 Months Old

Leslie — Tue, 02 Dec 2008 04:54:12 +0000

Here are some pictures of Kai in the month of November. My friend, Kim, got Sarya a doll house from the Goodwill store, and I think Kai plays with it more than Sarya does. He tries to climb up on the 2nd floor. He thinks he’s hot stuff because he can climb up on it a little. Kai is also learning to Skate Board, we start them off real young, and then they grow out of skate boarding and once again Bryan is our solo skateboarder. Sad. Kai is also my little helper around the house. He likes to help load or unload the dishwasher, sweep the floor, and chase the vacuum. When Dante was a baby I couldn’t vacuum because he would scream and cry. Now I can’t vacuum because Kai tackles the vacuum. Kai just turned 8 months old yesterday, he’s starting to say, “mama.”

I finally started getting some of my newer skateboard tricks on video a few weeks ago and I’ve posted the above short movie of the highlights. If you’d like to read descriptions of tricks and locations, click on the video while it is playing to access the actual page on Youtube. Let me know what you think.

Jumper

When Leslie was on her trip early this year I took the kids to a new park with some big rock formations to climb. I finally convinced Beau and Dante both to jump to me. Then Beau decided he didn’t need me catching him. He needs to learn to skateboard!

To the Zoo… and Beyond!

Bryan — Fri, 21 Nov 2008 06:18:28 +0000

This is my first mobile blog post (from my phone) so I hope it looks right. I’ve been meaning to post this photo taken back in May. Beau and I went to the zoo with his class and I got this photo with my phone on the bus ride home. We were sharing the headphones and rocking out until Beau fell asleep ;). He loved the bats! We had a great time even though it was pouring all day.

Halloween/Fall time

Leslie — Thu, 13 Nov 2008 01:15:31 +0000

Well we had a fantastic Halloween. Our neighborhood was so fun to trick-o-treat around. Super crowded though. The weather was nice, rather warm for this time of year too. Sarya was tinkerbell. My mom made the costume last year for niece, Rylie. Of course we got tons of candy. Mid-October we had our church chili cook-off and the kids participated in the pumpkin contest. Beau painted the skeleton, and Dante painted the ghost. They did a pretty good job too, and they even won a prize for it. We also got “booed” 3 times. This was a new thing to us, we’ve never been “booed” before. It’s where someone(s) ding-dong-ditch Halloween goodies on your front door and give you a “you’ve been booed” sign and instructions to pass the love on to more families. After the first time we put up our sign, and we still got “booed” two more times. We feel very loved, and thanks to everyone who brought us goodies. Cupcake mix was one of them and the lovely pumpkin plate. So we made cupcakes. Bryan and I had a little too many though. This year we planted Tomatoes. This was our first time planting stuff. Usually I have a black thumb when it comes to plants. So we’ve been quite delighted that our tomato garden was successful. Since it is cooling down now, Bryan and the kids went and picked all the tomatoes so they could ripen in the house. Kai has been pretty mobile for awhile. He crawls like an iguana. I know I used to have one. Kai has been climbing the stairs for a few weeks now too, and he’s super fast. He’s only 7 months. This last week he’s learned to pull himself up on his feet, and he’s so proud of himself and does it on everything. hello

Halloween Party

Leslie — Mon, 13 Oct 2008 06:05:07 +0000

I was gone for something, and when I got back Kai had fallen asleep on the kitchen floor next to this baby doll. Quite funny. I love these army pants I got from Jennie, Kai seemed happy to be wearing them too. Army pants crawl. Bryan and I went to a Halloween Party with some people from church. No kids party. Wow, and everyone had great customes. There were no 2 couples a like. This was so much fun and we already can’t wait until next years. We kind of got customes last minute from my mom and brother. It’s their renaissance costumes. Still fun. Glad we could go. Thanks mom for watching the kids. My headdress is actually a choker I got from my Aunt Vicky, it was hers. Chokers just don’t look right on me, worked well for this though. I had just gotten Kai ready for church when I snapped this picture of us. I didn’t realize his nose was runny. I need a photo filter option to remove green snot.

Just another day in Paradise!

Here’s Dante going to work with Bry. Looks like he’s going on a safari. Well some of those clients can be real tigers. It’s a jungle out there. Dante can’t wait to go with daddy to work though. I get to go for a walk with my friends. Kai guy likes to crawl lots, he’s now six months old. Lately, he thinks it’s fun to crawl over things. One of his favorite places to hang out and play in is his exerciser thing, and if he can’t sit and spin around he crawls underneath to play. Especially now since he’s been getting cheerios, there is always a few left underneath. It’s fun to watch him wiggle and kick himself out of there too. You always know how he’s feeling by the way those feet are kicking the ground. I call him happy feet, he always has those toes tapping the ground, but they can get mad too. Kai always looks like he’s having so much fun the other kids try to hang out too. Doesn’t really work. Well as you can tell in the pictures above, my kids were looking a little shaggy. I usually take them to my friend, who cuts their hair for $5.00 each, but it takes like half an hour to get to her house now and so I decided to try and give them all haircuts myself. You get what you paid for? It was free, I did it myself, not too bad. I think they look better. Sarya was first up. She can’t sit still for a second. It was still pretty easy. Next was Dante. You would have thought I was asking to cut off his fingers, he cried the whole time. It took me at least 2 hours to cut his hair. He sure liked how it looked when I was done, but acted like he was being tortured during it. So I cut one of Kai’s hair to show him how much Kai, a baby, loved it. Didn’t work, Dante still threw a fit. So glad I’m done with Dante’s hair now, too bad his hair grows so fast. When Beau got home from school I cut his hair. After Dante, Beau was a perfect angel. His friends were waiting for him, I should have cut the top a little shorter, but he wanted spikey hair. I tried to borrow my mom’s hair clippers, but someone else had borrowed them from her and then moved out of state ( I won’t mention any names though, you know who you are ;p !! ).
