Our little princess!
Kalia was the 1st Grade May Day Princess
It was a lot of work (just ask her)
3-4 practices a week for 3 weeks,
but what a show and she did great!
2013 Sacred Hearts School May Day Court
1st and 2nd Grade Prince & Princesses
The court performs
1st and 2nd grade perform
Here is my claim to fame,
they called the prince & princesses' family on stage to
the performance game (hand game with rock, paper scissors at the end).
Maya has been taking swim lessons!
I never thought Maya would need swim lessons, but just
like her sister at 4 years old, she did not want to put her face
in the water. I think if we lived anywhere else or had a different
lifestyle, this would not be a problem. But for her own safety, we spend
quite a bit of time in the water and for her own enjoyment,
we had to go back to swim lessons.
7 weeks later (this week) she can almost swim the long way
across Coach Maya's pool, taking 4 breaths
It's amazing. We went to the pool today and she was
swimming everywhere, did not want to leave the pool, was
diving for these little torpedoes and loving the water- so worth it!!!
Summer, here we come!
These are from the beginning of May- just a few weeks into her lesson.
This was a girl who refused to put her face in the water 3 weeks before.
Erik dropping in at Kalia's classmate's birthday party
at the skate park. Erik was more excited about this party than the girls.
Although they were using the ramps as slides.
The girls saw Tanner!
Maya's new big girl bed!
Maya riding on the train at the mall.
Maya started hula!
Maya is now in her own hula class (although Kalia does the class
with her, as well as her own class). Very, very cute!
Looks like I will be making 2 ti skirts...
These are photos from April! Life has been very busy lately, but now that school is out I hope to be more on top of the posts. The more time that passed, the more daunting this update seemed!
Here the are the tree climbers at Kapono's 4th birthday campout extravaganza! Super fun with the floatilla- relaxation station, great campfire & friends:)
Maya didn't want to climb the big tree,
so she climbed this one and called over to the kids.
Erik took this one and I thought one day I would want to see that I was there too!
Ilana brought crackers for the ducks, but maybe the girls had some too..
Feeding the duck
Tutu took this shot of Kalia during one of their days together.
I am so thankful that mom could come out and help during
spring break- it was a life saver and the girls had so much fun!
Tutu also helped me start my baby clothes blanket project- finally!
I've been storing these clothes for years!
Here's the clothes before.
One of the squares (each blanket takes 80 squares).
Maya's is ready to sew (I'm going to try to have this done before Tutu
returns in May).
Kalia's ready to go!
These onesie's and little dresses brought back a lot of memories.
We included Kalia's name from her old hamper
and Maya's boppy cover. It was hard to cut up some of these pieces,
but good to know we will have them always!
"Our 1st Pet"
as the girls are calling them.
The morning after the Sacred Hearts Bazaar, we woke up
to find Maya's hard earned goldfish floating.
Erik decided that the girls would be getting a fish tank
and more fish that very day- to ease the loss.
This included red and purple plants and a castle...
Ready for Kalia's Hula Show at KBH:)
Happy Little Hula Girl
Happy St. Patrick's Day
The girls got all dressed to pick up Tutu at the airport,
but were disappointed at Petco and Costco, when
they didn't see very many decorations or people dressed up.
