Weekend Update

Tamera and the kids came over last Sunday and hung out while Scott ran errands. Here is a picture of the kids. Teia is getting bigger and Spencer has lost his front teeth. He's been making a fortune from the tooth fairy. :)
Ray's parents came into town on Friday. We went to El Toreador on Friday night for some Mexican food and then on Saturday night we met them for dinner at Red Lobster. Noelani enjoyed Red Lobster much more than El Toreador...All things considered she did really well for being up way past her bedtime. It was great to visit with them and for them to see how big Noelani is getting. I can't believe it's been since July since we last saw them. We are planning on going down to spend Thanksgiving at their house. I can't believe that will be in just a few short weeks!!

Below was a video we just took of Noe today. Ray was playing with Kea and Noelani thought it was the funniest thing ever. This is the first time she has laughed this hard and this long. So glad we have the camera and can videotape these special moments to share with everyone.

Not much else new to report on here. We can't wait for Halloween on Friday. The first of many special holidays! I also can't help but think that with Thanksgiving just around the corner that means my parents will be back in town soon!! Yay!!

Our Lil Pumpkin

So we were finally able to get a picture of Noelani in the pumpkin...here she is.

We plan on going to Bainbridge Island to trick or treat with Tamera and the kids. Ray and I can't wait to take Noelani out on her first Halloween.

The Pumpkin Patch

We took the ferry over to Bainbridge Island last weekend and took the kids to the pumpkin patch. We had a great time!

We dressed the girls in their costumes and Spencer wore his Anakin Skywalker costume.

Teia as you can see is a Ladybug (the cutest ladybug I ever saw) and Noelani was undoubtably the prettiest Monkey at the patch.

The best part about being a Mom and Dad are the holidays! It's fun to know we're creating memories that will last a lifetime for her. We decided dressing the kids up and taking them to the pumpkin patch will be our annual Halloween tradition.

Oh and as you can see below the pumpkin "Noelani" picked out weighed in at 57 lbs!! Ray carved the pumpkin today...not too bad for his first pumpkin. More Halloween pictures to follow. We're hoping to squeeze her into the pumpkin and take a few pictures...we'll see if that goes over or not. :)

Packers Come to Town

I managed to get us two tickets to the Packers/Seahawks game this past Sunday. I surprised Ray with them and don't think I've seen him smile that big since the day Noelani was born. :)
My Sister Teresa was kind enough to take Noelani for the afternoon so we could adventure out for our first outing together without her. Thank you Teresa for making that happen for us!! Noelani loves her Auntie and was happy to spend some time catching up with you. Thank you also for the pretzels...they were a perfect snack at the game. I am lucky to have such a thoughtful sister.
We dropped Noelani off with Tee at Noon and then headed to the game.

In support of my Man I donned a Packers jersey in hopes he wouldn't catch quite as much flack...WRONG!!! We were pretty much harrassed from the moment we stepped out of the truck in the parking lot. It was worth all the trouble as our Packers prevailed!!
We enjoyed our day out together! Seemed like even though she wasn't with us she was all we talked about.

Happy Birthday Tamera!!

We had the McCoskery family over to celebrate Tamera's Birthday. Ray made his famous Chicken Fettucine and it lived up to its legacy.

It's always fun to get the kids together.

I can't wait for the girls to get big enough to play together.

The Mighty Steamroller...

So we said we would post a video of her new move...the rollover. So here she is in all her glory. She hasn't mastered rolling back over but we're working on it.


As you can see in the video below she already has a basketball that we've been playing with. I think she'll be a power forward. :)

Four Months Already...

We cannot believe how fast the past 4 months have gone!! I took Noelani in for her 4 month well check up. She now weighs a whopping 17 lbs 12 oz...let's just round that up to 18. She's in the upper 97 %! She's also 25 3/4" in height which is in the 95%. That a girl...Breaking records already!!! There was a day this past week that Ray didn't have any jobs so he watched Noelani while I went into the office. The picture here is how they looked when I came home from work...I'm wondering who passed out first...Daddy or Daughter?? The big milestone happened this week. Noelani rolled over and I mean a full 180 degree flip from back to tummy. Video to follow shortly. Now all she wants to do is roll over and roll over. She's our little steamroller!! She also loves being tickled by Daddy!! As you can see in the video...
This past weekend we took a roadtrip up to Birch Bay to visit Tamie and Hannah and goto Jamie's Mary Kay party. I can't believe Hannah is just about walking!! Hannah will be 1 tomorrow. It was great to see Noelani and Hannah playing together. It was such a beautiful day we all took a walk down to the beach just a few blocks from Tamie's house.
