4th of July Weekend

4TH OF JULY
2010

We had a great fun filled weekend...

Friday
Mom's Group 4th Party at
Honokowai Park

Kalia played with Scarlett
and Maya insisted on going on the big girl swing like the big girls.
(No photos since I was right next to her the whole time).

Saturday - Beach Day
We attempted to have an all day
beach day and brought the boards
and even the tent.
It was very windy, but we still had
a fun, adventure day.

The girls in their 4th of July suits - thanks Tutu!
I never thought I would be one of those moms
who dress their kids alike, but I did it this
weekend and you know what - it's pretty darn cute!

Sunday- 4th of July
Makawao Rodeo

It was our first time at the rodeo and it
was a lot of fun! The girls had fun watching
the horses & the rodeo was great! We also met up
with a bunch of friends. Maya saw Joel for the first
time since we got back and was very, very
excited to see him!

It was nice because we sat in front of the bleachers
and then the girls could run around.
Maya took that statement a little too literally
and really just started running off a few times.
Literally running in a random direction
away from us, at full speed.

Kalia wants a horse now...

Early 4th evening picnic at S-Turns
and then a few fireworks & sparklers.
The girls were exhausted from the weekend
and so we did an early evening.

My little pyromaniacs!

Some fireworks

Maya was going crazy over the sparklers &
fireworks. These girls love it a little too much!

Monday -
Birthday Lunch for Celia at Leilani's

Scarlett & Kalia


After lunch the girls went out front to the grass, where we could see them and played, while we finished lunch. Maya stayed with Celia & I and called for Kalia the entire time she was outside. "Kalia, Kalia, Kalia, Kalia", then when the girls came back to the table, she ran over to her and gave her the biggest hug!

So we are back to do some serious sleep training with Maya. I have avoided doing anything for so long because she's Maya and she's also so loud and she's my little baby. But she's getting to the point where she wakes up at night and since I've been putting her all the way down, she cries for me and won't go back to sleep for hours. Just like Kalia started doing right about this age after vacation, although she hasn't gotten to the up for 3 1/2 hour thing Kalia used to do. But it seems like things are turning around and she's starting to get the sleep she needs and hopefully me too.
