Catching up on February.

After our visit with Nana and Grandpa, we hosted a "baby party"!  There have been a few new babies born in my craft circle.  And what better place to host a party to celebrate babies, than a house full of baby stuff!  We made some new friends and had some oh so yummy food! There was even a grandmother here ready to snuggle on anyone who wanted!

Lisa and her mom Nancy!

Allison and Donovan

Henry and Robert are 4 days apart, and already buds!

Lisa and Anna being.... Lisa and Anna!  

Matt ran the Great Aloha Run this year!  The boys and I are so proud of him!!

Christopher has started taking his nap in the oddest places.  This month is has been the bean bag chair.

so sweet...

I don't know how Matt does it... but he can get Henry to fall asleep almost anywhere.

Goofing around with Daddy!

We are still working on the potty training.....

Two peas in a pod!

Nana and Grandpa come to town!!!

Nana and Grandpa come for a visit this past February and we all had so much fun!  Christopher loved playing on the beach with Nana and Henry really like snuggling with Grandpa! 

Christopher welcomed them with custom pillowcase artwork!  He had so much fun.

 

On their first day here, we went to Bellows AFB to play on the beach!  It was a nice surprise!  Christopher got to play on the HUGE  playground, and Nana got to take some much needed grandkid pics!

We also took them to Ko Olina for an awesome day at our favorite beach!  Mom and Lou couldn't get over how warm it was and just how blue the water is.  It made me realize just how much I had been taking it for granted.  It was nice that week to just slow down and take another look around.

We also took them to a luau!  And I do believe they had a really good time!  

Grandpa was chosen to demonstrate how to eat poi.  He wasn't a fan!

 Even Henry enjoyed the hula girls!

Nana too!

The rest of their trip was full of good food, lots of playing and hanging out!  We miss them already!

Henry's first smiles were caught on camera!!!

Henry turns 1 month!

Henry turned one month and is growing way too fast!  He weighed 8lbs 14oz and was 22 and a half inches long.  He eats 7-8 times a day, and has yet to sleep a long stretch through the night, but we are keeping our fingers crossed.  He is going through a bout of colic, but I keep telling myself...."it could be worse".  He is a cutie pie and loves holding his head up mostly in the evening time.  He smiles often, but if you aren't quick you will miss it.  Christopher has really been a big help!  His favorite chores are throwing diapers away and putting clothes in the washing machine.  All in all I would say he loves his little brother very  much!

Oh that boy!

I just couldn't keep these to myself!  Christopher has been a busy little boy playing football and dancing his little heart out!  Hehehe!



And Dancing!

I'm dreaming of a White Christmas..

Well that didn't happen for sure this year.  The rains were hear almost the entire week leading up to Christmas, but on Christmas morning we woke to beautiful clear skies!  And once the kids were up it was time for the madness to begin!

Christmas Eve!

                                                           Playing the new Dance game!

                                                                 Christmas Snuggles!

We were blessed this year with good health, a lot of happy memories, and a growing family!

Let the catching up.... begin!

Well I called it!  I knew that once Henry got here it would be a while before I posted again.  And boy do I have a lot to share!  First of all... Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!  Okay here we go!

December seemed to get busier and busier as the month wound down.  We had Christmas parties and baby showers, family and dogs come, and then Henry came!  Here is a peek at how it all went down!

                                                      

About mid way through the month Kim and the kids came to help us out with Christopher!  We had a blast!  We hung out, went to the beach and north shore.  And basically just had a pretty good time!

Then Gopher finally made it to Hawaii!  Needless to say, he and the boy were super excited to see one another.  They chased each other up and down the hall for hours that first night. 

 

And then it was time for Henry to make his appearance!  And boy did he!  

Henry James was born December 22nd at 12:30 in the afternoon weighing 7lbs. 14 oz. and measuring 19.5 inches.    Here are just a few more pictures!
