Hello family and friends I hope to begin blogging again untill January. I haven't been able to because our laptop got a virus. Hopefully by the new year we will be owners of a home computer:) Greg and I had a super fun time in Kauai. A exciting visit with my mom. The kids had one fun halloween festivities! Hopefully I could update our blog sooner then January. I will keep posting on Facebook through my cell phone:)bye bye!

October events

October is here and I'm super excited it has begun. We got Halloween costumes, the decorations all up, and are excited for a month full of exciting things. My mom comes in this Friday and will be staying with us until the 23rd. Greg and I will be celebrating our 8th anniversary in Kauai for 4 days. Yay just the two of us:)
Last Month I started a new workout that has been so awesome. It's called Stroller Strides. It's been great because I get to bring Savvy and Carl with me. To my surprise, it's not easy. It's been very tough and way more than just pushing a stroller around. We are working our whole bodies doing circuit training. Here is there blog I got to write a post to introduce myself to the Stroller Strides moms http://strollerstrideshawaii.blogspot.com/2011/10/member-monday.html

New Smile

Chase lost his first tooth:)

Summer bliss

Michelle did it again! She took AMAZING photos of Savvy and Carl. We are so thankfu and gratefull for these beautiful photos. They are all framed and hung up, and they make our place our home:)

Green Belt

Chase will be hitting his one year of Tai Kwan Doe in Sepetember. He continues to enjoy it. He recently got promoted to green belt. He works hard learning all the moves. He's getting closer to black belt, but for this up coming year it's going to be more difficult. During testing to pass the instructor will not be talking the students through their forms and they have to know every move by themselves.

Here is Chase after sparring. He got really into it and did a cartwheel the other day, then popped up and started kicking. I laughed so hard. I think he wanted to show off to the girl (he was sparring with) who is really good.Chase sparring on testing day. Has been for 4 months now. In the beginning it scared him and he would back up, but now he's getting good at it:)Chase and I with his new belt:) I'm really proud of him. He's on his toes. He's getting better at keeping them down:) I don't think on our blog I've talked about Chase being on his toes all the time yet.

Eating Machine

Carl has a big appetite now:) It was really hard trying to stop nursing him. It took a whole month. There were lots of tears, and now he is officially done nursing. Here's Carl pigging out at 13 months. He loves corndogs:)Took him a good 30min to eat and didn't let it go until he finished:)Last night I felt sad that I have stopped:) But I have realized the older the kids are getting the more fun they get:) For example, Chase and Savvy made Greg and I a meal. Greg texted me this picture. To let Chase and Savvy know he loved his dinner they made him for work. He's been working a lot of hours and work and it made him happy to eat a meal they made him. The meal was: a peanut butter and honey sandwich, an ego waffle, a piece of american cheese, an apple, and an orange. Kids are sooo funny! Mommy got spoiled too. They gave me a pedicure. It was too sweet:)They also pampered me by putting lip gloss on me and doing my hair. Then they put lotion on my feet. How did they come up with this. It was NICE and Chase kept telling me "now relax mom." Oh how I love this KIDS:)
to mention are camera is broken. Pictures are now going to be from our cell phone. Greg and I have bad luck with cameras. are recent camera lasted for almost a good year:)

Tea Party with Papa

Savvy likes having tea parties with her dad:) Time to time, she asks Greg for a real tea party. She asked for one and he gave her a really fancy party with a yummy berry lemonade and a homemade pastry:) They made it all together. I was invited for the best part, eating it up:) Greg took her picture right before we dug in. Next time I need to get their picture together.The another day Savvy told me that she wanted a Disney princess makeover. She got the idea from the Disney Channel. Carl was napping and I jumped right into to making her over because at times she can be a little too Tomboyish. I painted her nails, did her hair, put on lip gloss, and body glitter. She must think she has to act like a boy because she lives with three boys:) But she sure looks like a girl!She wanted to look like princess Ariel!
