Our Last Mele Kalikimaka In Hawaii

It's always bittersweet when you know you will be leaving somewhere soon and moving on. This year we decided to venture down to City Hall and see the beautiful lights. It was something we never did with the kids so we thought we would do it since next Christmas we will be living somewhere else. We went with some family friends of ours and besides being the most humid night ever....it was enjoyable. Check out the Wreath made out of puzzle pieces

Jeremy was trying to show Kya how to act scared of the Snow Monster....cute huh

Kya Turns 9

Well another year passes and my little guy turns one year older. Christmas is always hectic mentally for me. So I feel very blessed that I can just make birthdays simple and still let my children know how thankful Iam for them. We picked up Kya afterschool (oh and after I delivered 28 reindeer cupcakes which I forgot to take a picture of) then we took him to Baskin Robbins at the nearby PX. He had what was probably hes first banana spilt and he ordered it exactly how it looks in the picture. He enjoyed all of it oh and performing again at his school later that night.

She Did Good!

On Monday December 6, Collai went into labor to give birth to what would have been her third baby. It came about eight days early and it was probably one of my worst nightmares when it comes to puppy births. Her water broke and then from there one it went fast. I actually went out to the shed to get a tub, and my friend Vonya yelled to me that baby was already out. We aren't sure what the sex was although it looked just like Skipper, all black with a tint of white on the chest. It was moving and even making noise, but something looked really wrong about that whole thing. Long story short it had a major birth defect and died about a half hour after being born. What a horrible thing to witness...and then to see Collai look for the baby has been hard. Im so gratful I wasn't alone, I had great friends around to help in everyway. I really love Collai and Im just grateful I didn't loose her. She's a little crazy yet so loveable. This is the end of her motherly years and that in it's self is a bitter sweet thing.

What A Great Concert Kya

This year Kya expressed interest in joining the choir at school. Of course I was so excited that he said this....Kya never wants to join anything. He loves it so much....and tonight they had their first performance at the mall. The pictures I took are great although the video is even better. I would have to say that Kya was really showing off his moves. It was such a fun show, what made it even better is my girlfriend's son is also part of the choir so we all had fun together.
