Double Stroller II

We were at the mall and we only had our umbrella stroller with us. Aaron didn't want to walk anymore so he sat in it. I had to do something and David took the kids. Since it's kinda hard to push a stroller and hold a baby, he came up with this brilliant idea!

He had Aaron holding onto Raya in the stroller!

It only worked when she didn't move around too much. Once again, my genius husband has found another way to convert our single strollers into double strollers!

Don't take her picture!

Aaron likes to block Raya when I just want to take a picture of her. He wants me to just take a picture of him. Silly boy.

Eclipse!

Thanks to Twitter we got some Eclipse tickets for opening night at Ward Theaters.

David got a tweet from Power 104.3, a hip hop station here in the islands, about Eclipse tickets. All he had to do was go to 7-11 in Hauula, buy TWO LARGE Slurpees and you'd get one ticket to Eclipse. So of course we bought 4 Slurpees to get the 2 tickets. His mom and some of his sisters did the same thing.
Opening night David, his sisters, Pii and Mailani, and I left for Ward around 10pm. When we got there the line went all the way to the Nordstrom/Office Depot parking lot!! (which also happened to be where we just parked!)
Luckily, while the 3 discovered how long the line was, I looked for someone to ask where people with tickets from Power 104.3 were supposed to line up. I was told that we could just walk in! WHAT?! So I called them to let them know we could go right on in and didn't have to wait in the HUGE-MUNGOUS line!!
There was a theatre reserved for the radio station. We got goody 7-11/Slurpee bags as we went to find our seats. Inside was a calculator, a USB hub, a $10 gift card to the theatre which we promptly used to get snacks or the movie.
While we were all waiting for the premiere to start, some of the station's DJ's entertained us with contests. The first one was with Taka an the first person to run up to finish the lyrics of the sing win. The first song was "Baby" by Justin Bieber. (this happened to be one of Raya's songs) People were shouting the right words but no one was running so I ran up there with Raya and won a beach ball! Whoo hoo!! What I really wanted was the two combined camping chairs with umbrella! Which I didn't get...
It was lots of fun and the movie was excellent and I think the closest one to the book out of the other 2 movies. I really liked the battle scenes too.
Thank you Power 104.3 for an awesome night!

Getting his own cereal

I made Aaron cereal so I could nurse Raya. He finished and wanted more. I told him he'd have to wait but Aaron insisted he could do it by himself.

He went and got the cereal and was going to pour it into his bowl but I stopped him since I didn't want a mess. So he used his smart brain and used his hand to get the cereal out and into his bowl.

He's growing up so fast!

Raya: Holding herself up (4/30)

and then she decided to eat her hand instead

A wedding and an owie

We were attending David's cousin, Kaimi's wedding reception and Aaron was off playing with the other kids and his aunties. They came back and told us Aaron was crying super hard. We checked it out and it turned out he had gotten his finger smashed in a window.

The girls (the aunties) told us that there was a girl that was outside the window and she was being kinda mean. She grabbed a chocolate bar from Aaron's cousin and shut the window on Aaron's hands.

I was really upset but it ended up being ok. The girl happened to come by our table and she apologized for both instances.

Cousins with Uncle David

This was taken back in March at the in-laws. You will be able to see in the pictures that the all the kids love to play on David. 
 
They all decided to ride him like a horse!

David is also really strong and can lift up his niece 

 and nephew. (haha, I just noticed that Makana and Aaron are doing the shaka in the first picture!)

 

and of course, Aaron had to get in on the action! (one handed too! David is so awesome!)

They all had to pose for a group picture too!

There were actually several takes before a majority of the people were looking at the camera. 

Don't they look like fun?!
