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!

Toys R Us

After the goobabes finished cleaning the mess outside and taking the EZ corner down...we went for a drive stopping at different stores just to LOOK. Yes, just look not buy. No mo money. It all went into flames from last night's fire works. Haha. Here is Warrior 4's favorite thing at Toys R Us. The cars! I had to coax him to get out.

Preparations to Greet the Year 2011!

Cut the grass. Check! Line the ground with tarp. Check! EZ Corner up. Check! Tables set. Check! Borrow chairs. Check! The most important of all...ORGANIZE FIREWORKS. A big fat CHECK!

SINTURON NI HUDAS! One for every child to light.

A container for these big cylinder things.

Another for these morning glories and sparklers.

Have we got all the different kinds of fire toys?

You bet! Well, that's just according to me. The Warriors and the King on the other hand...won't mind having more. Just can't have enough of it.

You think...these are going to be enough to last until the clock strikes 12?

I think so...We still have the POP POPS to sort through. ugh! Quick! Go get the colander.

Bath Time

This is how Warrior 4 takes a bath to release stress.

CHEER!!!

I wasn't a very good cheer mom for Princess. We went to the football games twice. Not to watch the game but to watch my little Princess cheer. I love her facials. Maybe I am just being biased but she is maturing to be a beautiful and lovely young woman. She is so grown up! Oh, my "gulay"! Time does fly.

Here are some pictures that we've downloaded from her fellow cheerleaders.

First Wind at Kahuku!

at the Kailua Shell Gas Station

CAR WASH ANYONE?

Girls in action in the rain.

Car Wash. Long day for me and Warrior 4 who hung around the Kailua area.

There's Princess in the back talking to her neighbor cheerleader. Check out her calves.

Esther Pasi and Princess. Just lovely.

Cute the hair! I curled her long hair every night before game days. She went to seminary and school with the curlers in her hair. Used tons of aerosol hairspray.

Cute candid shot of the girls!

uy! Who did your makeup? Some funkiness going on with the eyes! YOu are sparkling like one ornament from a christmas tree.

"Dude! Everyone's eyes looked like that, Mom! The girls sweat and wiped them off." Princess didn't sweat that much.

JV Red Raiders! They placed 3rd in the East and OIA.

Guess where she is at? Far left or far right?

Good days and Not so Good Days

Wakes up crying from a nap. I don't know why?

Clean that boogie off da nose and then he goes back to sleep.

Warrior 4 wakes up in a better mood and he looks good.

.................so he starts combing his hair.

Yes, please comb that fuzzy bush. =)
