Mason's version of dancing :)

It is more of a march... but nevertheless, he gets the job done with this... :)

Quick Update

Well, it has been a month and I really need to get better at updating this site. :)

Everyone is doing well at our house, and we are just working towards Summer Vacation! for the kids! They are especially happy about that.

We have soccer, football, talent shows, church functions, family functions, birthdays... it will be and has been a busy time for our family!

See attached videos of the boys dancing for some smiles :)

I promise to update more later.

Well, it has been a crazy few weeks. I took Henlee in for her 6 month check up... about a month and a half ago... and mentioned that her urine had a different smell to it. That led to a urine culture and come to find out she had a UTI.

Later that week, we found out that it was due to E Coli! :( So thinking that it was a wiping issue, we treated it and paid it no mind. The doctor wanted us to have another series of tests done at the hospital though. So we did them... an ultrasound and then a test to see if she was refluxing urine up to her kidneys. Thinking everything was going to turn out negative.

Nope... she is refluxing urine up to her kidneys. She will have to stay on antibiotics for the next 6 months, testing every so often for more infections.

She is such a sweet and happy baby that if I didn't mention the change in smell, we would have never known. No fever, no fussiness... just sweet spirited Penny :)

Dallas and the track team :)

Sounds like a short story huh?

Dallas has joined the track team this year, which I think is a great great thing! He is learning to be part of a team and it gives him something to work towards. Plus the new friends and fun things that come along with it :)

Here he is at his first track meet, with his serious game face on :)


Here he is just coming out of the blocks... Go Dallas!

Hello All,

It's March already! The year is already wizzing by!

Miss Henlee, AKA Penny, has been growing like a weed too! She is sitting up on her own now and rolling all over the place. She is loving her new found independence that she found once she was mobile.

She is such a great baby... no crying, just a little whiny when hungry or tired, that is about it. She is a happy happy girl and just a joy to have around the house :)

Here are some pictures of her.



Big Girl sitting by herself! :)

Here are the SISTERS! Boy do these two dig each other. Parker will walk into the room and Penny's eyes will just light up and she will start smiling and talking to her. They have a very close bond already. It's very sweet. :)

Greetings from Washington State :)

The whole crew and I took off last Saturday morning and got on the road to Washington to visit Au's brother Laauli and his family.

The weather was fine until we got to Lake Shasta area where we were just pelted with snow! LOTS OF SNOW! And for a California girl, it was quite the experience driving in the snow.... but we made it through and got to Oregon safely. We stayed the night in Medford, Oregon and then headed out bright and early the next day to drive up the Washington. The best part about the hotel was the indoor swimming pool for the kids... see Henlee's picture in her new suit :)

Here is a picture of the twins with their cousin Malia, all having a snack and watching a video :)



We spend the afternoon on Monday at my sister-in-laws parents house. They have a farm and the kids were able to ride the horses, and ride the quad runners, and jump in the trampoline... tons of fun for everyone, even the observers.

The weather was cold when we first got here but each day after has been warmer and warmer. :) I love the area here and would move here in a heartbeat!

It's so nice to visit with family... :)
