Our 9-month old!

Carl is 9 months old! I'm a little sad in a few months he will turn one:(Here's a list of Carl's milestones--thing's I can think of at the moment:

1. He's a really good crawler. We get a good laugh watching him crawl super fast:)


2. Hair is growing longer and getting fuller. The curls keep curling.


3. Smiles and laughs a lot. His smile is so cute because the four front teeth pop right out at you.


4. A good eater. He eats everything we eat. Hasn't had any problems with the food.


5. Stands a lot. I won't be surprised if in our next post he is walking.


6. Gets into the toilet bowl. The water attracts him:)


7. Loves bath time.


8. Wires and cables get his attention too.


9. Starting to wave bye bye.


10. Can yell really loud. When he wants something it means right now.


11. He can't stay still to get dressed or have his diaper changed. Good thing he only has ONE messy diaper a day.


12. If he's in his highchair he better be eating or doesn't want to be in it.


13. Wears size "12-months" clothes.


14. Keeps his shoes on--which is more than we can say about his older sister.

Birthday bash!

When we got together with our family we really had a lovely time:) We really miss that! We also got to celebrate birthdays for my sister Violet, sister-in-law Michelle, and my nephew Micheal. He had a big 5th birthday party! It was a fun party:) Here are the highlights of the party.

We love you and wish to see you soon. wink wink from out here in HI!

Disneyland part 2

Another Disneyland post:

This time around there were big crowds and long lines. It was okay though because we got to do everything we didn't get to do the first two days. Savvy wasn't feeling well but she was a trooper and was carried by her daddy the whole entire day:)

Chase got to do Jedi Training and even fought Darth-Mal. Carl, Savvy, and Chase really enjoyed "It's a Small World." When we first arrived at the park, Grandpa Jose got the kids ice cream cones. Oh and he got Greg and I a delicious ice cream sunday:) It was a fun treat:) Here was Savvy after throwing up on Greg. Mammy was nice enough to run and get Greg a new shirt to change into. Yeah Savvy lost it on Greg:( And the shirt that Mammy bought for Greg was very appropriate!

California Adventures

Second day hopper was to California Adventures. The Toy Story ride was a hit. The kids and parents LOVED this ride. We went on it three times.

It wasn't too crowded, and the lines weren't that long so that was a plus:) The ferris wheel wasn't a favorite though. It's too high for our liking. Here are my favorite pictures of the day. Carl liked looking at Mr. Potato-Head:)This picture was taken before the 3D bugs life show. During the show Chase and Savvy cried hysterically and screamed when the spiders and huge grasshopper popped at you. They're not big fans of bugs after getting eaten alive here in Hawaii by mosquito's. Nikki went on the spinning rides with all the kiddos. She is a very good and brave aunt!

Disneyland part 1..

We had a wonderful visit with our family in California. It felt good to be in our hometown. Chase and Savvy loved being with their cousins again.

Disneyland was a blast! We were happy, excited, and grateful our family joined us to the happiest place on earth. We got a three day hopper. Here are pictures of our first day.

Chase the Jedi

Many pictures from our trip to follow. But I was really excited to post this video!
