I was trying to figure out what I was going to do with this shopping cart cover my friend Frieda gave me when we had Jordis. Then, Jordis started wearing it around to keep herself warm, but have full leg action.

It was genius!

Does that mean she IS a genius?

Happy Birthday, little one!

So, we put together a last-minute surprise party for the Bubbers this week. Ivy made one of the coolest cakes ever for the boy! He was just taking everything in--all of a sudden the dark became filled with a flaming spiderman cake. It had to be one of the coolest moments ever for him!

She wanted to be wrapped up like a baby.

He wanted to hold her.

They sang "Once There Was a Bear" by the Barenaked Ladies. It was really cute.

This was an epic race, with the critical moment to take the lead being in the narrow part of the path. Amani blasted off the finish line and easily smoked her competitors.

Can I just say I love when we have family visiting?

It's hard to get mad at this kid sometimes. It really is! Although, with that 'little brother' role he's been pulling out on my tootie-pie little sister, the cuteness isn't almost holding up.

Jordis' new haircut.

She did it all by herself, with a pair of safety scissors.

She took it right off the top.

She also took care of Kenji's 'do.

Nice.

I'm back on the 'puter! Don't worry, I'll re-upload all those darn cell phone pictures so they aren't blurry. I don't know why it does that! Oh well, not complaining. My handy dandy cell phone got me through the big move and helped me keep up with my little project here!

Here's one from the festival last week...Amani all dooded up in native clothes (thanks, Shanna!)...

It's that time of year...the busy, crazy, sewing-frenzy and practice-heavy lead up to the ALOHA FESTIVAL! Saturday. Let me know if you want details.

We went to a lot of parks today, watched Micah play soccer and had a dress rehearsal for the Aloha Festival, which is next week...aaahhh! I woke up at 0500 today to sew more skirts and a muumuu. I stayed up way too late last night after a fun date to a Korean BBQ place. Incidentally, this fabulous hidden gem of a place is right around the corner from our first casa in Arizona. Awesome!

Feet.

They're growing and changing.

Kenji is gaining on Amani. Amani still has her little birth mark on her left foot, second toe. Micah thinks he needs to get a new pair of shoes every month or so. I think he inherited the genes from my side of the family. We have some big ol' feet!

So, it's Spirit Week at school this week. Micah woke me up by staring me right in the face with this cute, little, geeky outfit. Isn't it great? He came up with it all by himself, in the wee hours of the morning. He's always been an early riser, but when there is an EVENT, he is up before the rooster crows, as I grew up hearing. Anyway, he came home in this cool attire, and Jordis had to get in on it. I don't know what it is about her, but she's always up for new, cool and awesome things...always...that's why we love her, and that's also why she is in the majority of my POTD's.

iPhone picture to the rescue!

You know how cute it is to have two two-year-olds absolutely happy and content to be with each other? Cute. very cute.

You know what's even cuter?

When they call each other 'bes fwens' (best friends).

So, you know how most people enjoy the parks and slides in the summertime? Well, we do all the playing in the winter, when the slides and parks are cool enough to actually touch them. This is prime playing season for us!
