This is my husband and his obsession

The Simple Life

Nothing to write about.

My life is pretty simple. I don't have my kids involved in tons of daily activities.

Geez, we don't even have cable.

How boring!

I love my simple life.

Somewhere Over The Rainbow

Isn't this a great photo. It's of our cute little house (with the black truck in the carport).

It has been raining everyday, but as I remind my children (and they remind me back if I ever say anything negative about it) that rain makes everything beautiful. Gotta love rainbows!

Bag Lady

Yep, this is my little bag lady. She carries around 5+ purses, bags, backbacks, etc. on her little stroller. You wouldn't believe what's she got in each bag, it's filled to the brim with anything and everything. Underwear, socks, jewelry, books, little tiny princess shoes, knik knacks...etc. She just takes it around the house and pretends to go to work or to school or shopping or wherever else little girls pretend to "go". She wont let anyone touch any of the bags or the stroller. I have tried many times to put things away, but I'm not very sly and it never works.

Gotta respect a girl and her bag.

Here's her stroller when she's not carrying it around. Too much stuff for the little thing to handle.

A girl should be two things: classy and fabulous. (Coco Chanel)

Lucy is both!

Happy Everything!

Wow, I have neglected the blogging world for toooooo long.

Here are a few of the things we have been doing.

The girls and I went to the Discovery Center. I wont go on about the price, but man, if I'd known...let's just say it was only kinda worth it.

I don't know how many square feet there are to this place, but everything there is for children and the size of children. Guess what my girls played with almost the entire time....

The freakin' kitchen play stuff. Guess who has tons of kitchen play stuff at their own home? Lucy was totally obsessed with the plastic pink frosting donut.....she has asked for it numerous times for her birthday. So easy to please.

There are little rooms with places from around the world with something to do from that country. The girls had fun trying to use the chopsticks on the fake food in Japan.

There is a little store, with little carts and a little cash register. Guess what my girls filled their carts with...hmmmm....can you say ice cream? (I would do it, too.) They also loved the bubble blowing area. Mommy doesn't like blowing bubbles or being a part of anything to do with bubbles, so they were loving this and so was the little boy they were blowing them for..yuck, I hate bubbles.

This is just a sweet pic of Ele Bell. Isn't she cute. Gotta love them when they are asleep!

We went to Kauai with Julius and had a great 2 weeks. Here is Lucy on a tree swing outside of the place we were staying in Kohala.

We stayed with some friends at the Marriott in Waikiki for New Year's Eve. It was so great. I think we might make it a tradition....It's a little crazy in Hawaii on New Year's Eve. Staying at the hotel made it not so bad.

We were able to go and visit my family in California. We had so much fun! Playing games with the fam, eating with the fam, playing Wii with the fam....it was a blast.

I can't believe it's already March. The time goes quickly. We are safe a happy and enjoying life. Hope you are, too!

Oh, by the way we are having another baby, due September 11, 2010.

Merry Christmas

And the WINNER is...

KATRINA TAKAHASHI...
Didnʻt you win the last time Katrina?

It cost: 18.81

Just heard on the news about HUGE rats in China Town and closures to some of the stores...Hmmm, that doesnʻt sound all that inviting....Should I still go?

We are in Kohala (Big Island) for a couple of weeks, so I guess I have time to forget about the rat situation and will go again.
