Bright Beginnings May Day 2013

Raya's preschool did a medley of Little Mermaid songs. They performed with Kahuku Elementary and went after the 6th grade May Day court.

Raya's costume is so cute!

She was a little mermaid! Love how creative they are!!

Raya had to get her costume pinned to her shirt because it kept falling off her shoulder. She's apparently the smallest one in her class. 

Check out the video that David got from up where we were sitting. I was right in front of her filming on my phone but then the video didn't save!! I was so mad!! 

Look for Raya in the front, third from the far right.

Raya's Left Eye

The kids were playing outside today and all of a sudden I hear Raya crying pretty hard. I know it's serious because Raya is pretty tough. She comes inside crying and it turns out she was walking and slipped and fell on her face. 

She let us clean it a little bit but she really wanted ice for her face. Our ice pack is pretty huge, she just laid her face on it. She ended up falling asleep on the ice pack. 

She wouldn't really let me take a picture so I snuck one when she was being opihi and wanted to sleep on me. 

This picture was taken a couple hours after the accident. Her eye is a little bruised and swollen and the scratches got darker. She's fine and insists we don't touch it but I can't help but cringe a little every time I see it. My poor baby. 

One of David's cousins suggested we make it into a tribal tattoo! Haha! I was actually thinking something along those lines!

He'll be in the upper left corner with his shirt open and super wife legs. You can't miss it. 

This is his ending pose. Love this kid.

Rewind: Allred's

The Allred's were moving to Maryland & had a farewell/birthday party for Gideon. 

Thanks for the invite guys! We had fun! I know the kids had lots of fun! 

Standing in line to pin the smokestack on Thomas. (I think that's what it's called.)

Raya made it pretty close.

 

Aaron, the weirdo, stuck it on his face! 

The older kids were blindfolded...

...and Aaron didn't really make it onto Thomas...or anywhere close to it.

Raya using only one hand to hit the piñata. 

Waiting for the piñata to break. 

All the kids rushing for the candy and Raya looks like she's annoyed. 

Since she didn't rush for all the candy, she didn't have much in her bag. But she was still happy she had some. 

Ambrose R. and Aaron enjoying some cake. 

Mother's Day 2013

This Mother's Day was low key and I was well fed. David & I don't really give each other gifts. One, because I STINK at getting David a gift that he actually wanted or liked and two, we really show out love for each other through food. Which is probably why we look the way we do :) 

David woke up earlier & made breakfast. (We had just gotten bacon from Costco since it was on sale.) 

Eggs, rice, salsa, Korean seaweed and BACON. Yum. Thanks David! It was so filling! I could barely move after!

David got these Magnum ice cream bars for me not knowing I've always wanted to try them! (I follow them on Instagram and it always looks so good!) The double chocolate was so rich and so good! 

This was the card Aaron made for me at school. It cracked me up! Can you tell food is an important part of our family? :)

Laie 4th Ward passed out the Hershey's bars with the special label. The primary kids went up and sang for the mothers' and passed out roses. Raya really wanted the rose but I really wanted to get rid of it. I don't really like real flowers since I feel bad when they die and end up throw away and then if I dry them, I end up throwing it away anyway. But we kept it for a little bit anyway. 

We went over to my in-laws for dinner after David made this delicious beef and cream of mushroom sauce with green beans. (David should really make dinner more often.) 

Thanks for the great Mother's Day!! I definitely felt loved! 

Now what should I get David for Father's Day?

Rewind: Easter 2012

Thanks Miki and the Willing Ohana for inviting us to have an Easter Egg Hunt with your family. 

We did not have Easter baskets so I taped some Easter cutouts on a jack-o-lantern basket. 

It worked! Super lame but it worked and held the eggs! The kids had fun.  

Raya holding the cute towel bunnies Aaron received from his primary teacher, N. Galeai. 

I don't know why she's making weird faces! 

Happy Easter! 

April 2012-ish?

Totally trying to clear my phone of old pics. This is a super old pic! Look at how long Aaron's hair is and how short Raya's hair is! 

Bubbles

Showing odd their toys

Eating Mac & Cheese

Pretty sure I took these pics cuz they were pounding it! ...maybe. 

Olivia took this of Raya one might after a bath. 

L4 Mutual. Stream started sticking pencils in Raya's hair. 

They (the other girls) thought it was hilarious! 

Playing catch up on the blog! 

Sunday, Raya & Sunbeams

I love this girl so much. This was all her! I just copied her facial! She cracks me up! 

Last Sunday, May 5, 2013, on the way out the door to church, Raya stopped me and insisted that I change to dress like her. I'm just glad Olivia left me this yellow dress so I could dress like Raya! 

Did I tell you I'm not in Young Women's (as of November 2012) anymore? I can't remember since I need to update this blog more. I teach Sunbeams now. I also have 12. I'm just really glad I have someone else in there to help me! 

Sometimes it can be really frustrating teaching 12 little Sunbeams and sometimes it can be really fun. I miss YW but I know that I belong in Sunbeams and I'm supposed to be teaching them. 

Parts of April 2013

Raya was small kine sick and got me really sick. I was out of school for TWO days. Wednesday, I started feeling really crappy. I had a headache, runny nose, cough. I am surprised I even got home from work on my bike Wednesday afternoon. I literally wanted to fall over and just lay on the side of the road. 

Thursday - I literally could not get out of bed. I was burning up and David almost didn't even believe me. I stayed in bed all day and got up to eat something, just to get some food in my body. (I'm not even sure saimin is counted as real food.) Friday, I got out of bed just to see Aaron get his Super Citizen certificate. 

Here's Raya all sick and sleeping. 

Sunday we had stake conference and I almost didn't go but I decided to get my body out of bed and I'm glad I did. 

There was a youth choir and it was amazing! It gave me chills listening to them sing! The speakers were what I needed to hear! 

Some pancit & lumpia my friend and neighbor gave us. I love pancit! 

Went to David's friend's wedding & saw David's cousin's husband who was part of the wedding line. (This picture was taken by Aaron.)

Saw our friends the Gancinia's. 

Newlyweds smushing came in each other's faces! 

The AMAZING food! 

This was just some part of April. 

Gonna start updating the blog more often!
