I got her right before I met Jared. She, yes my explorer is a she, has over 180,000 miles of memories and fun. Unfortunately, my poor car died and right before we were supposed to drive down to San Diego for the boys' birthday. We only had about 3 days to find something. Jared has been wanting a truck for quite some time now and so with my explorer dying, it was the perfect excuse to finally get one... Here she is...<br />

I love her already! I miss my explorer and the extra room I used to have inside, but its so nice to be able to load everything up in the bed of the truck and not worry about taking up space inside. I think our boys love it too..<br />

I cannot believe you are already 4.. How fast the time has come and gone. From the day you were born you have been sweet, calm, polite and loving. I will never forget the instant love I felt when I held you in my arms for the very first time. You just have this light that surrounds you, anyone who comes in contact with you can see it and feel it. You already try so hard to be like our Savior and it just makes me love you even more. You are so caring and sensitive towards others feelings. You never want to make someone upset or see them cry. You love to ask questions and have me read you books. You soak up every little thing, which is sometimes a good thing and a bad thing, people really have to watch what they say around you. You LOVE your Grandparents, there is nothing you love more than to cuddle with your Nama and Grandma or play outside with your Papa and Grandpa. You are incredibly talented. You can hit/ throw a ball so far, your Papa calls you "The Throwin' Samoan" and it is quite fitting. You are Momma's big helper, always offering to help clean or put the dishes away. You love to watch cartoons, you can watch something once and quote it word for word, it is pretty funny. Some of the things you come up with are just too cute. You are very good at making people laugh. You adore your baby brother and would do just about anything for him. I love to watch you two play, you have quite the imagination. You and your Daddy have a special relationship. You could spend all day, every day helping him in the garage, going to the park or playing sports with him. You always love to impress him and make him so proud of you. You love your cousins so much, you get along with each and every one of them, and hardly ever fight or argue. Mommy and Daddy are just so proud of you. We have no way of expressing our love for you... There aren't enough words or actions to show you. We love and adore you more than you will ever know. Happy Birthday my Reefy Boy!!<br />

He seriously can take any project I have brewing in my mind and make it come to life, better than I would anticipate. I had been working so hard on trying to get the boys' birthday party decorations ready and we came up with this great idea to do life size character cutouts of Jake and the Neverland Pirates. This is what my husband was able to create...<br />

<span style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">My Dad is a HUGE fan of Nascar and NHRA. Growing up we used to play tricks on him and tell him who won the race before he could watch it. He would get so mad and we would laugh so hard! My siblings have kind of developed a love for racing after all of these years so when my mom asked me if I would like to go to the NHRA Nationals in Phoenix, I couldn't say no. We went Saturday morning and spent the day watching drag race after drag race. It is seriously INSANE! Some of those cars can go up to 300MPH. It is sooo loud, as you can imagine. The boys absolutely loved it. I think Hawk was actually more into it than Reef. He would perk up when he heard the engines rev. I loved watching his expressions as the cars raced by. At around Noon he started getting so tired, but he did not want to sleep, he wad way to excited... Finally, after a lot of crying and rocking, he fell asleep. There were a few breaks between races so my mom and I took that time to do some SERIOUS PEOPLE WATCHING! That was almost as much fun as watching the drags. I am so glad we went. It was fun to experience something that my Dad absolutely loves and to use that as a bonding moment. These are the times I will look back on and be grateful for the memories and I know my boys will do the same. Thanks Mom and Dad for taking us with you and for visiting us!!</span></div>

<span style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">Grandma Margie, Hayley and Tanner came for a little visit this past week. It was so much fun to spend some time with them and try out some new activities. We live in such a small town there really isn't much to do... OR so we thought! We ended up having</span><span style="text-align: -webkit-auto;"> a fun filled few days of guns, food, milk, food, cows, and more food. </span></div>

So, the husband has quite an OBSESSION with milk. He swears by <a href="http://www.shamrockfarms.net/">Shamrock Farms</a> milk. He says it is thee very best he had ever had. We knew that there was a Shamrock Farm in Arizona, but we weren't sure where it was. We found out it was actually only 12 MILES away from our house! I did some digging and discovered they do public tours 2 days a week and it happened to fall on the day that everyone came. We went and had a blast. There is so much to do and see... we got to feed calves, see how they milk thousands of cows a day, watch a momma cow give birth (SO COOL!) play on a cow themed playground, and the best part... they gave each of us a free bottle of milk after your tour! We also "Liked" them on Facebook and so we got a free scoop of ice cream! </div>

Where I said my mile time was... 13 minutes? Wow, that is still embarrassing to type. Well, in all honesty, it was actually <b>13:40</b>, almost 14 minutes.. I have been working my butt off for the past week trying to run faster and it was actually getting worse?? what? It doesn't make sense to me either. I decided that my goal was to try and beat my time and <b>I DID IT! </b>Finally! Jared is such an awesome running partner. He really pushes me and although I hate him in that moment, I love him afterward for doing it. So, my new time to beat is..... <b>10:59</b>! That is almost 3 minutes! I know you are probably laughing, thinking I am ridiculous for being so excited about such a <b>LARGE</b> number, but I really am so thrilled. It is a huge accomplishment in my eyes which is why I felt it needed to be shared! So, I am gleefully patting myself on the back for a job well done! :) </span>Aiono Famhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03900979646888979125noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4672856835526974662.post-32789165607925301852013-02-14T12:08:00.001-08:002013-02-14T12:13:21.010-08:00Happy Valentines Day!I have always looked forward to the day that I would have my own little family so that we would be able to celebrate each holiday together and the way we wanted to. I was so happy when Reef's teacher told me they were having a Valentines Day party and Reef would need to bring in a Valentine for each of his classmates. I immediately started brainstorming, trying to think of something different for Reef to do. I searched Pinterest and found a couple of cute ideas. I had Reef pick his favorite and took it to the husband to do what he does best... Create something using photoshop. This is what he came up with...
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0OOxNoQBUg3ecYCJ63ke_gRqmwLgOSeYwrJTM9pxCjgmz0eAYaENa7Am3DoJNXvZfkCYXBNzFWB7w-taMsQwxSm4-asT_bS2cU_N_8c3-IrueR0gaXTxTSsDAiugYKlUulnDAl3o2F4sP/s1600/IMG_20130213_164529.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0OOxNoQBUg3ecYCJ63ke_gRqmwLgOSeYwrJTM9pxCjgmz0eAYaENa7Am3DoJNXvZfkCYXBNzFWB7w-taMsQwxSm4-asT_bS2cU_N_8c3-IrueR0gaXTxTSsDAiugYKlUulnDAl3o2F4sP/s320/IMG_20130213_164529.jpg" /></a><br />
I am seriously so lucky to be married to such a talented man. He is good looking too, which of course is a plus!
Reef told me that he also wanted to get something for his teacher he said a ring with chocolate kisses... Uumm... Hhmm..(i think my son may have a crush on his teacher haha... ) I wasn't sure about the ring so we settled with a cup filled with chocolates. He was soo excited to give it to her, it was actually quite cute.<br />

He loves Mrs. Bernie so much, she is a great teacher!
I can't wait to hear all about his day when I pick him up from school.

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Happy Birthday! I cannot believe my little baby is already 2! It is so crazy how fast time flies. Mommy loves you more than you will ever know. You bring your Daddy and I so much joy. I will never forget the way I felt when I held you for the first time. You were such a good baby. You were so calm and quiet and loved to sleep, which meant Mommy got to sleep too! Some things have changed since then.. Now you prefer to be awake, so you don't miss out on anything. You are hilarious, smart, crazy, stubborn, quick, and extremely feisty! It is never a dull moment when you are around. You keep me on my toes and hardly ever let me rest. You love your big brother, you try to be just like him. There is nothing that brings me more joy than to see the two of you interacting. You are such a Daddy's Boy! You scream with excitement when your Daddy gets home from work and you cry when he has to leave. You LOVE being outside and always want to ride on your quad. We could be outside for hours and when it is time to come in, you usually have a melt down. You are soo smart, you are always able to figure out how to open anything you can get your hands on. You LOVE treats, especially candy... I think it may have even been one of your first words.. Luckily, you are also obsessed with brushing your teeth! Your Aunties, Uncles and cousins love you so much, they think you are hilarious (especially when you are doing something naughty). You are always the life of the party and you LOVE to show off in front of people. Your Grandparents have a soft spot for you. You can tell they love you so much. We are all so blessed to have you as apart of our family. I thank our Father in Heaven for allowing me to be your Mommy! I love you my Hawky!</span></div>

The Park! </div>

Our boys could spend hours at the park and sometimes we do!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We really enjoy Arizona winters because it is so nice outside. It gives us the opportunity to get out and enjoy the sun, without it being sooo hot!</div>

Like.. Ever! I can probably count on one hand how many times I have by my own free will and choice. BUT I did it! Today, I went running with Jared and the boys. I think I should consider it more of a jog/ walk. My sister Erika is exercising and eating right and she was telling me how much better she feels and how she has a lot more energy, so I figured I would give it a try.. Jared and I decided we would try to improve our health and show our kids the importance of exercise. With that said, I feel like this is worthy of a blog post... Are you ready for how fast I jogged/ran?? It is soo unbelieveably fast... NOT! It took me.. So embarrassing.. 13 minutes.. Thirteen minutes.. I wouldn't even pass the mile if I was still in High School (not like that would be the first time..) haha... Anyway, here are a few pictures of myself and my boys after our family run/ jog/ walk!

Reef got a big red one and Hawk got a smaller Batman one. They seriously ride them all day long. They wake up in the morning and the first thing they want to do is eat... But the second thing is get their shoes on so they can go ride their quads. Unfortunately, Santa must have brought one that was malfunctioned, brcause it stopped working in "forward" mode. So Daddy took the quad back to Walmart, because that is where Santa's workshop is, and got a new one. They were all out of red, but Reef was happy because he loves BLUE! We brought it home and Jared put the quad together with some help from our boys.

First week of chores is over and complete. Reef did great and he was actually eager to help Mommy out around the house. To make it more exciting for him we took him to walmart to pick out his very first piggy bank. I was surprised to see him pass up the Mr. Potato Head, Soccor Ball, and Football Piggy Banks... Instead he went right for the cash box with a lock and key. What a smart boy, he must know his little brother would do anything in his power to break that thing open.. Haha... No, but seriously, Hawk has already tried to open this one, but has been unsuccessful thus far. Reef now has it hidden in a safe "Hawk Free" area. Daddy was nice enough to give Reef the change from his wallet, he was thrilled. So, each day Reef completed his chores without complaint and even reminded me that he needed to take his vitamins. He made $3.50 and today he bought 2 hot wheels cars with his own money. I am thrilled to see it is working so far.. We will see how next week goes.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-weight: normal;">As we were getting ready to leave our Mini Vacation and head back home, my mom called and asked if we would like to meet at Round Table for lunch with her and my siblings, so we met everyone there and had a great time talking and the kids had fun playing all the video games. The whole time we were there I kept saying, "I'm taking Cici with me." Erika would reply, "No, no you aren't." Well, As you can see, I won that battle! We got to bring Cici back with us for 10 days and Reef and Hawk were thrilled! It just so happened that while she was with us, it was also her BIRTHDAY so we tried to make it extra special. I think she had a great time, although, sadly... her and Hawk don't really get a long.. It is sad, yet hilarious, all at the same time! With that said...

We decided that since he had about a week off we might as well head to Disneyland. My mom had bought us passes in October and so it wouldn't cost us anything to go. We were thrilled when we found out that both Grandmas could with us, each on a different day. We drove up with my mom on Monday and spent most of our day at California Adventure checking out the new Car's Land. It is AWESOME!! I cannot even tell you how many times I had to chase Hawk down because he would try to cut everyone in line. He was probably the most excited to be there. He would flip out when the rides were over too, he just couldn't understand why it had stopped and why we couldn't keep going. We also went a lot of rides that are usually crazy packed. It was nice to go when there weren't a lot of people. It makes it so much more enjoyable. We stayed in a Hotel about 1/2 a mile away from Disneyland so we could walk there the next day. We dropped my mom off at the train station Monday night and then picked Jared's mom up Tuesday morning from the train station. We headed to Disneyland and spent the entire day going on every single ride. When 6 PM hit we were exhausted and ready to leave. Jared had been feeling well so he was definitely a trooper both days. I felt so bad for him.. Being sick at Disneyland, is like being a Vegetarian at Outback. Weird comparison, but it makes sense in my mind. We decided we were hungry and buffalo chicken strips sounded so good, so we found a Wings 'N' Things on the way home and it was DELICIOUS! I honestly love Disneyland more than anything. It is crazy how it can make me so incredibly happy. I love to watch my boy's faces light up and to see their excitement as we board each ride. I get excited just thinking about going. It definitely is a magical place! We are planning a trip in March and we cannot wait!<br />

I have a list of things I want to blog about, but I feel like I can never find the time. So, I am going to make it a goal to blog right after we get home from an adventure, or after a craft, or good news... you get the point. Alright, back to the reason for this post....<br />
<br />
A few weeks ago, I saw an Instagram post from my cousin Eileen. She made a Chore Chart for her kids and above the chore items were the rewards. It was so cute and I loved the idea of Reef having some responsibility around the house... Plus, it helps me out a little bit ;). So Jared and I sat down with Reef and let him choose the chores he wanted to do. <span style="text-align: center;">Each chore is worth 25 cents and h</span>e chose:<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
1. Clean up belongings around the house.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2. Clean up his playroom.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3. Help Mommy put the dishes (the silverware) away.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Jared and I added:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
4. Brush your teeth</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
5. Take your vitamins</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
He is so excited to get started. He has already put the dishes away and cleaned up his play room. I am relieved to see that it's actually working. I will update on how much progress is made and see how long this whole thing will continue.. I'm hoping until he is old enough to add more to the chore list!</div>

<span style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We had an amazing Christmas with our families. We weren't sure what our plans were until Christmas Eve Eve. We thought my family was coming out to AZ, but we found out the Friday before Christmas that the plans changed because my sister was put on bed rest. Jared came home Saturday and told me got Christmas Eve off and it was PAID! So we packed up our bags and headed to San Diego. We spent Christmas Eve with my family. We shopped all day long and then went to Denny's for Dinner. we went back to my parent's house and opened up my parents' gifts to the boys and shared the Christmas Story and sang songs. Christmas Day was spent with Jared's family. We woke up at 7 and opened presents, then we went to Pop Pop's house and opened up some more presents there. We had Christmas Dinner and then I took the boys over to my Aunt Cheryl's house to see all of my cousins and play some games. There is nothing better than spending the holidays with family. I am so grateful for every single one of my relatives. We enjoyed everyone's company had a wonderful Christmas Vacation.</span></span><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="clear: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

Unfortunately, we were unprepared and so Jared thought it would be a great idea to have a backyard campout. We went to walmart and bought a tent, some wood and your usual camp fire food. Reef was so excited to "go camping." The two of them set up the tent and built a little fire in our homemade fire ring. I got all the food ready and we had a nice enjoyable evening under the stars. Reef roasted a hot dog for the first time and thoroughly enjoyed his s'more. By the time we were done eating is pretty late so I said good night to my little campers and went inside. Reef wasn't too sure about sleeping outside, but he went with his Daddy anyway. At about 1:30 in the morning I heard the sliding glass door open and there was Mr. Reefy asking if he could come lay down with me. I told him that was fine, but to make sure the tent was closed. He said with absolutely certainty that he already closed the tent. WELL... At about 3:30 in the morning I hear the sliding glass door open again and look up to see a very frantic husband wondering where Reef was. Apparently, Mr. Reefy didn't close the tent.. In fact, he left the tent wide open, which led to Jared thinking Reef got kidnapped.. Reef must be like his momma.. He enjoys the nice air conditioned house and a comfy couch to sleep on. It was a fun night none the less and we had a good time "Camping."

We had some time to kill before our movie started so we took a walk around the mall. The husband had to use the restroom so I obviously waited outside for him. One of my favorite things to do at the mall is people watch and I couldn't help, but notice this sweet older lady and her grand daughter. The little girl couldn't have been more than 2, but you could tell they were the best of friends. The grandma just adored that little girl. Any little thing she did, the grandma just laughed and smiled. When someone would walk by she had to mention that, that was her grand daughter and you could hear the pride in her voice. When Jared was finished and we walked away I told him that as much as I love to watch a mommy or daddy with their babies, there is just nothing sweeter than a Grandma or Grandpa with their sweet Grand Babies. That instance made me think about my babies and the love of their Grand Parents. My parents and my in laws LOVE their Grand Children, they probably, no they definitely love them more than their own kids and I get it, I finally get it. Before I was married with my own children, my sister had her first baby Desea and I was hooked, obsessed, in love the minute I met her, but I at times, would get so jealous of her. (I know it sounds ridiculous even typing it, but its the truth..) I was used to being the youngest and getting everything I wanted. I couldn't understand why my parents loved her more than me.. I was their daughter and it was only right to love me more. Well, I grew up, got married, and had my own babies and that is when I got it. Now I obviously am not a Grandma and better not be for at least 22 more years or so, but I have NEVER loved anything (besides my hubby) more than I love my children. They are my world, they bring so much joy and happiness into my life. When they do grow up and get married and have their own children those sweet babies will not only be a part of my children and their spouses, but they will be a piece of this family that Jared and I created. I used to ask my mom, how shr can love them more than us? And she would tell me.. 1. They are adorable and sweet and never give her heartache 2. They love and adore her as much as she does them. 3. They are a part of what her chilrden created, and the love and bond is just indescribable. Now I appreciate that love.. I appreciate my parents and Jared's parents more than they know. My Reefy boy wants to call his Grandpa, Grandma, Nama, and Papa everyday just to say hi and tell them he loves them. I love to see them all play and laugh and make memories together, memories that will last forever. So this post is just to say Thank you! Thank you for all the calls, visits, smiles, hugs, kisses, memories, presents and love!

Thank goodness we have church at 12:30 now because 9am just wasnt working for us! We always seem to have meltdowns, stains on our clothes before we even leave the house, and I tend to forget something that is instrumental in keeping my sweet babies occupied during sacrement. Well, today was one of those Sundays. I woke up to Hawk eatjng a huge oile of dumped out animal crackers and of course i had to pick them up and that resorted to a major meltdown. I sat the boys down and we enjoyed a nice little breakfast and then meltdown two kicked in.. right about... Now. Reef was trying to watch cartoons, but Daddy said no and well, Reef doesn't like that word very much. We bathed the boys and somehow managed to get them dressed without any major difficulties. We loaded the boys in the car and headed to church. 12:30 is a little hard because that is usually the time I put Hawk down for a nap, so Daddy and I shared turns taking Hawk out while the other stays and entertains/ kind of gets to listen to the speakers. I took Hawk the first half and while i was failing miserably at putting Hawk to sleep, I was thinking to myself, "Why do I even waste my time coming to church? I have to sit out in the foyer the entire time we are here and I feel like I learn nothing." (I KNOW... HARSH, but it was true..) I quickly gave up and took Hawk to Jared and sat down determined to listen. It was ward conference today so we had the priviledge of having our awesome stake president there and as soon as i sat down he thanked all of us mommys and daddys for coming to church even though our time here usually consists of chasing or holding our kids. And then he said this... " All of you mommys and daddys have been given an important calling, thee most important calling and greatest thing you will ever do, which is to raise your babies to be wonderful, uplifting, spiritual human beings." It hit me right there... why do I even come to church? Because that is where the Lord wants us, it is so important for our kids to know this. Its important for them to learn reverence and I think it definitely teaches us Mommys and Daddys patience. I am so grateful for our stake president's counsel, but I am especially grateful for my babies, even if they can be a little busy and mischievous at times!Aiono Famhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03900979646888979125noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4672856835526974662.post-55828327137235549612012-04-13T21:31:00.000-07:002012-04-13T21:31:15.914-07:00From messy faced boys to sweet gentlemenLately I have been thinking about my boys and what they are going to be like when they get older. They are such sweet little boys and I never want that to change. They don't know the difference from black, white, yellow, purple, (literally, we think Reef might be color blind, but thats beside the point) they don't know skinny from fat, or beautiful from ugly. At least once a day a hear a sweet little voice say "Mommy you are beuiful (translation- beautiful) and I have to admit.. I love it, it makes my heart melt. My husband has jokingly asked Reef if so and so is ugly and he always responds "No, him is handsome" or "No, her is beuiful." I just never want that to change. The world we live in is so obsessed with outward appearances, I admit I get sucked into all the latest fashion and beauty trends, but who is to say what is "pretty" and "ugly." I want my boys to love everyone despite the way they look, sound, or dress. I want them to find the beauty in everything and everyone. So, starting today, (not saying I've taught them differently before this..) my goal as Mommy is to teach them to love everyone despite our differences in appearance and so on. I love my sweet little boys and I want them to grow up and be sweet gentlemen.Aiono Famhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03900979646888979125noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4672856835526974662.post-32042322052632548692011-08-03T14:30:00.000-07:002011-08-03T15:00:53.319-07:00AZ here we come...Jared and I have been waiting about 3 years for this amazing job opportunity to come.. and it FINALLY has! On February 13, Jared got a phone call offering him an agent position in CBP in Casa Grande, Arizona and he would have to report for duty February 28. When he got the call we didn't know what to do.. we had talked so much about what would happen when this moment came... We had 24 hours to give a response... We had said so many times that we were going to say no if it was out of state. We just couldn't take our kids away from cousins and aunties and uncles and especially grandparents. As soon as Jared got off we both said NO! How could we move? Not to mention I just had Hawk 2 days before that.. We realized pretty quickly that chances were we would NEVER get this opportunity again. We had to say yes. Jared called back and said yes. I knew he had to leave for 3 months and I had no idea how I was going to do it.. How could I be away from my husband for 3 months? How could I take care of my 2 sons all by myself? I was absolutely dreading Feb. 28 and hoping my last week with him would go by slowly.. I have to say I was way more tough than I gave myself credit. I definitely didn't do it all by myself though, my family and Jared's family were absolutely amazing. They all helped me so much. Whether it was just being there to talk to, watching Reefy for me, taking us out for some fun activities, or offering to have us over for dinner, they all were a tremendous help. I actually ended up moving into my sister Erika's house for 5 weeks and I am so grateful for that. It gave me the chance to spend more time with her and my nieces. The 3 months actually went by fairly quickly, which was a good and bad thing. Good because I got to see my husband again and bad because that meant we had 11 days to move to AZ. Our moms threw us a big party and we got to say bye to all of our friends and family! We moved on June 10 and have had so much fun decorating our new house. (Thank you Aiono parents and cousins for helping us move, paint, and unpack.) It definitely has not been easy being away from our family, but thankfully we have Aiono family here to keep us sane.. or at least keep me sane.. :) I LOVE being on our own, in our own house, with just the 4 of us. I get excited making dinner every night and take pride in my home being nice and tidy. We love when visitors come also! We have already had my mom, dad, nieces, and brother come for a visit and Jared's mom, dad, brother, and sister have also come. I am happy to say that we are surviving! Quite easily too, which I wasn't sure we would be able to do without our parents and siblings living close. I am just so proud of my husband and his work ethic he works so hard for our lives to be secure. He is such an amazing man and I am truly blessed to be married to him. He is enjoying his job so much and I am grateful for that too. I will post pics of the house as soon as we are done decorating!Aiono Famhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03900979646888979125noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4672856835526974662.post-56062120591354811652011-01-19T22:23:00.000-08:002011-02-02T10:12:30.616-08:00Christmas! (I know its late)<div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Jared, Reefy and I had an amazing Christmas! It was INSANE, but so much fun. We have kind of made it a tradition to spend the night at Jared's parents house on Christmas Eve so that we can wake up and open presents with them. Jared has also made it a tradition to wake everyone up at 6AM by running around singing "Dominic- The Italian Christmas Donkey" at the top of his lungs! ITS WONDERFUL!! Reefy had a great time at Grandma and Grandpa Aiono's house! It was really fun to see him excited to open each gift too!</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Reef was very excited to get his "Melmo" slippers!</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJCpfgCqXZ4BlkBacgBVoo6tsBi6ZrFJR8PIfHlBQv0JRG22Md384NbQKQt42o1sjR9FkDGjRUxMZZu9Zaeb6x60khdnq4OscB6S6SbXT6sq1MpXjA3pCw2LyffeQL6475qWUuo6FPqfYK/s1600/IMG_0233.JPG"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJCpfgCqXZ4BlkBacgBVoo6tsBi6ZrFJR8PIfHlBQv0JRG22Md384NbQKQt42o1sjR9FkDGjRUxMZZu9Zaeb6x60khdnq4OscB6S6SbXT6sq1MpXjA3pCw2LyffeQL6475qWUuo6FPqfYK/s320/IMG_0233.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5564151848891822226" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px; " /></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Reef riding his new scooter<br /></span></span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7qtEvYxx61L_2J9qDXaIbKJOLuV22c250mMyDjavqyAO4YW4Oeta2i9Qvq3U-v3QwAdwOVGyeAG7ivxl9sOJefG7_Ho2ih-dnoxRFS9RT4rv5aZ7ZugkUuD0s3jV0qLAFPI4uQFnrBdFD/s1600/IMG_0247.JPG"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7qtEvYxx61L_2J9qDXaIbKJOLuV22c250mMyDjavqyAO4YW4Oeta2i9Qvq3U-v3QwAdwOVGyeAG7ivxl9sOJefG7_Ho2ih-dnoxRFS9RT4rv5aZ7ZugkUuD0s3jV0qLAFPI4uQFnrBdFD/s320/IMG_0247.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5564151841445856786" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px; " /></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Auntie was jammin' to... something..<br /></span></span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgte4QEEl6YsHBxVz4HKbUC_j_l03xkN3LJhBpGgfZLdq6O4vcvlWiBtFnvRw_iL8Jb6YgiAtMVUsFblTBspnNRwvJzdRBy5txN0OjcqS1-nxwcIEPOhjMuGzkabCaPIArKMgP_XuQhqoe5/s1600/IMG_0253.JPG"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgte4QEEl6YsHBxVz4HKbUC_j_l03xkN3LJhBpGgfZLdq6O4vcvlWiBtFnvRw_iL8Jb6YgiAtMVUsFblTBspnNRwvJzdRBy5txN0OjcqS1-nxwcIEPOhjMuGzkabCaPIArKMgP_XuQhqoe5/s320/IMG_0253.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5564151837264599970" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px; " /></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Reefy as santa clause<br /></span></span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMQlXr17-uvcJ1x2UjIKUyGVz7bNFR2XeB2TLerJ-8S5V65cmCHB4w_oyChCgS9pvtnCVAFGECrkA0olQ1V4i5jPIa3dMMHkN-7kIcqgQrGJbW2KgpDeiWT0g4E4rGwbB4TF8-cnJdwvLO/s1600/IMG_0214.JPG"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMQlXr17-uvcJ1x2UjIKUyGVz7bNFR2XeB2TLerJ-8S5V65cmCHB4w_oyChCgS9pvtnCVAFGECrkA0olQ1V4i5jPIa3dMMHkN-7kIcqgQrGJbW2KgpDeiWT0g4E4rGwbB4TF8-cnJdwvLO/s320/IMG_0214.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5564151826888470178" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px; " /></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Christmas morning picture...

Somehow he knew EXACTLY what I got him, but I had no idea what I was getting, I like surprises, unlike him! : )</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Reef with his Hot Wheels track</span></span></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXGO0Xsh36Q8mSqjNCgald5_ljgHEKlZvMPu1xFeceyvU3fm44DBbYBqOl5dQklA2k_Kbcli63OZuUPRVCngrJN-LejDqkDVRRmtmOAewNNZDrZw3gGuaU5E7jBdm8z3IQocb-mzAb3R4S/s1600/IMG_0280.JPG"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXGO0Xsh36Q8mSqjNCgald5_ljgHEKlZvMPu1xFeceyvU3fm44DBbYBqOl5dQklA2k_Kbcli63OZuUPRVCngrJN-LejDqkDVRRmtmOAewNNZDrZw3gGuaU5E7jBdm8z3IQocb-mzAb3R4S/s320/IMG_0280.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5567311668447754914" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px; " /></a><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Nama, Papa, and Reef</span></span></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiol_pQaxU_-QumWiR9Z4glQME-kNUjt16D4cOpTISeNW9VW8Xyh8DfO3zZMRJoJP_XZQulc7UQCJlzbzYiwVl67Yc522atqrBqS5zX4wVPjU5bMrUs1zykzDnIt4fpchOZwX6RcutmqO6W/s1600/IMG_0294.JPG"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiol_pQaxU_-QumWiR9Z4glQME-kNUjt16D4cOpTISeNW9VW8Xyh8DfO3zZMRJoJP_XZQulc7UQCJlzbzYiwVl67Yc522atqrBqS5zX4wVPjU5bMrUs1zykzDnIt4fpchOZwX6RcutmqO6W/s320/IMG_0294.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5567311665761037730" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px; " /></a><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Elmo Piano from nama and papa (If you couldn't tell Reef was very excited)</span></span></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcNPtfDDEQqR3D9KSE0ZPrOUSAzfIFNOgTqzl4R7OpUgS4xsBe47vlVqyI5RnaRwXtwJR4FHDjaConEcudMsPO0fT4mN10XGK_lmxC3ljQ9e3GzZZysTv8eUPKWRjF31wgFoQ-Ptlk72dO/s1600/IMG_0322.JPG"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcNPtfDDEQqR3D9KSE0ZPrOUSAzfIFNOgTqzl4R7OpUgS4xsBe47vlVqyI5RnaRwXtwJR4FHDjaConEcudMsPO0fT4mN10XGK_lmxC3ljQ9e3GzZZysTv8eUPKWRjF31wgFoQ-Ptlk72dO/s320/IMG_0322.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5567311656747852498" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px; " /></a><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Jared got me a Coach diaper bag and a Wallet to match!

It is very thoughtful and sweet. This year she really wanted to focus on the great grandchildren, so Reefy lucked out!

There is so much that goes on during this month.. Shopping, baking, family time, eating, presents, parties, eating, oh and did I mention EATING?!? and since Jared/ Reefy got me a camera for my birthday I am able to document all of our fun family outings!</div><div><br /></div><div>Last Thursday we were able to go Christmas shopping (it is so nice to almost be done!) and so we went and ate lunch with PopPop (Great Grandpa) and Grandma Margie and then shopped our little hearts out! It was so fun to pick out everyone's gifts, Jared and I get so giddy and anxious! Reefy was pretty good too, I can see how difficult it can be to sit in stroller and be driven around all day long... : )</div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; ">Reefy eating a lemon..</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRi5Dh0PUA9mFleiFi7-fosiGck0ZgzmSuijO-TwR6fi4AL1EUyOSPpfq-1vWDeRKGKL8tHx7MEFRWaZBq9egKPzFI5H4V3fpWkKW_miMfYo9tjFZVSSrspAsx-DS54ANWKH3zfXdxCE3Z/s320/IMG_0106.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5550638389562312530" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px; " /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;">Reefy and Grandma</div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdtL6Nvl-VvIqXJRbsF4jrscGHj_2y2YqyfZ03bAF7cHKB2KO88JGXAOhq3avgp4244Gd94aVP_mMjpt9TwiWvyMpLK64lx9_UQc5hLFhxi6Dlphya_bbOQAvirutl9kXw36i1RUWFv7p3/s320/IMG_0114.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5550638400570414338" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px; " /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;">Jared, me and Grandpa</div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); "><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQVV991oJQBkjgjjlRfKoXsWmXDTtV2D8EweOdcGSQptE6wOfZ5-YuDjS4Fb0k8nnaqV1zydo-NTsckkuWctIH2afX5dptgSwjER9UsQuq5nrdCbtPlDVDyWiFO0_W1fSEQYtLThj3MQ5T/s1600/IMG_0116.JPG"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQVV991oJQBkjgjjlRfKoXsWmXDTtV2D8EweOdcGSQptE6wOfZ5-YuDjS4Fb0k8nnaqV1zydo-NTsckkuWctIH2afX5dptgSwjER9UsQuq5nrdCbtPlDVDyWiFO0_W1fSEQYtLThj3MQ5T/s320/IMG_0116.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5550638409788317586" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px; " /></a><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#CC0000;">Reef really liked these glasses!

All the older grandkids got to make a gingerbread village with Nama and then they decorated cookies and ate them all up!
