Visit Aunty Ping and Uncle Eddie

Aunty Ping and Uncle Ed were visiting the island for a couple of days. They stayed at Ewa Beach with Uncle Ed's brother. We were invited to have dinner over at their house on Sunday. I had my fix of Pinoy food. They served dinengdeng, panapaitan, chicken adobo, lumpia shanghai, alimango--crab, and embutido--pinoy meat loaf. I used my hands to eat that evening after feeding Warrior 4.

Warrior 4 loves Lolo Ed.

We were able to taste some Pinoy ice cream. Cheese and corn flavored icecream! It was delish!

That's me! Aunty Ping (Mama's sister) and Uncle Ed.

Until we meet again.

Going Around the Island

We get a surprise visit from Lolo Ed and Mama Ping. (Mama Ping is my mom's sister)

They were going around the island when Mama Ping happened to be around the area and so Mama Ping called to see how close we were from the gas station they were at. Ayna super close. So, I met them there and they followed me home. =)

We ate their baon! Drank their soda. I had my fix of mangga and inguisa nga aramang, pancit and UBE. Super Delish.

Here is a couple of group pictures of us that afternoon.

Thanks for the yummy food!

Malaekahana Bike path

Finally tested out the bike path today. Just me and the kids. Warrior 4 enjoyed riding his stroller to the Kahuku end of the walk. We saw cows, peacocks and of course people jogging, walking and riding their bikes.

On the way back, he wanted out of his stroller. We let him out and he just took off running. He looked so cute running barefoot.

He ran and walked all the way to Gunstock ranch and then all of a sudden he just sat in the middle of the path. He rested for some time and then ran and walked a little bit more then without a care he just layed himself on the ground.

It was getting late and the not so long walk was turning to be a super long one.

Warrior 4 was just too tired to go on so Princess decided to give him a ride. The other 3 Warriors have been on a while.

It was a beautiful walk.

Zumbaah!

after an hour of sweating sexy. it sure feels good! Doing Zumba has helped me lose some of the weight i gained after having Warrior 4. I've lost 10 lbs already but I still got 10 more to go.

I have to work on my diet. I need to eat better. Sweets are my weakness. PORTION CONTROL...whoever said I have to wait until I feel full to stop eating. Nobody. ayayay!

I want to be able to wear jeans someday. I got rid of all my jeans because they just don't fit. I've got "thunder thighs" and muffin tops. It's just looks horridly ugly!

Hopefully, I can zumba my weight away.

"Mama! DooDOo!"

MAMA! DOO DOO! DOO DOO! Come on...let's go in the potty! off came the diaper. I sat him on the toilet. I sat myself on the side of the tub to watch. I wait and no doo doo.

Wait! There's a smile on Warrior 4's face. I look in the toilet...only shishi came out! Great job!

Crossing my fingers.

No MOtivation

it's been a while since i've jotted my thoughts down. Warrior 1 will be 16 in a couple of weeks. Princess is now 14, but kids at school think she is a Junior. Warrior 2 had a growth spurt. He is now taller that Princess and he is catching up with Warrior 1. Warrior 3 just turned 9. Yup! It is a birthday to remember because that's when we had the Tsunami watch, warning and evacuation during his birthday sleepover. Warrior 4 is such a big boy now. He'll be turning 2 in May and he looks huge! Anyway..I have a lot of pictures to post and i'm so behind.

ugh, i'm still struggling trying to get rid of this 10 extra pounds I'm lugging around.

ok. this is all for now.

Truck! Truck!

This is what made all that beautiful noise this morning!

Warrior 4 and Little K playing ring around the rosie.

Warrior 4 usually says.."ima! ima!" which means he wants to hold your hand.

Peace and Quiet.

Warrior 4 is napping. Little K is napping. It is peaceful and quiet. (Except for the little digger outside breaking up the Foleys concrete and digging of the grass.) I've learned to let a lot of things go. It doesn't bother me. Hey, bring it. I'll let it come and then let it go.

Warrior 3 is off to Camp Erdman. The whole 3rd grade class went to Camp Erdman. They will be back Friday after lunch. Warrior 3 was too anxious because he was still up at 1:30 in the morning telling me that he can't go to sleep. =)

Anyway, I took a early nap this morning because Warrior 4 kept me up. I guess that's what happens when he goes to sleep at 7:45 -8:00 pm. No, not really because he's done that before and had woken up at 11 or 12 midnight nurse him for a little bit and he'll go right back to sleep. Last night however was different. He was so alert. Talking so loud. I'd put him in bed and he'd ask that I "pik-pik" (pat) his bottom to go to sleep. Instead of him falling asleep...I found myself dosing off. Warrior 4 noticed that I had stopped patting his back side ..he called out so loud.."MAMA!" which freaked out the King. The King sat up so quickly asking frantically "what's wrong! What's the matter, baby?"

Anyway, took Warrior 4 out in the living room to try to put him to sleep...sang the "5 little speckled frogs" I don't know how many times but I was getting too sleepy sitting on the chair with him...so we walked back in the room and just kept him on me. I don't how long that was. When he was done, he just rolled off my side of the bed into his. What time was that? 2 am? 2:30 am? Who knows? Got up at 6am and I was out by 8:30 am. I had about an hour or so nap. =) That's good because I needed it. =)

The digging has stopped. =) Not bad. Now, Warrior 4 is awake. =) Laters.

Agdigus!
