My Precious Babies

I can't say enough how blessed I am to have these two precious babies in my life.  I love them so much and am so proud to be their mother.

MY PRINCESS

With every smile she melts my heart.

She put on some of my lip stick without looking in a mirror.  When I saw her I asked her to please take off the lip stick.  Her response "But mami I like it because I look like a LADY!", where does she come up with this stuff?

She loves to build things with pretty much anything, this time she said she built a space ship.

Such a creative mind

MY PRINCE

Little man loved the magnifying glass....my future little scientist.

He wanted to color since he saw Kanani coloring.

The fun of shaving cream, he loves playing in it.

Seeing these two grow up has been such an honor and blessing.  Lord I pray that you will always protect, guide, and surround them with your blessing.  

So much happiness

I'm so glad that God has blessed us with these two beautiful angels.

Before we got started on school Kanani wanted to play with her brother.  Of course I couldn't say no, they love playing together.  She's a great teacher, has such patience with him.  Kanani has already taught him so much.  

Had a fun time in the rain, it was only drizzling at this point, so I let them play outside for a bit.  It had been raining pretty bad but once it calmed down Kanani quickly asked to play a little outside.  

The happiness on their faces is all worth it.

Trying to pick up a small frog.

She caught it

Was so excited to have caught the frog

Trying to do what his sister did and catch the frog

He was able to touch it but it was still too fast to catch.

Sibling Love

Sibling Love is growing stronger each day.

She is always so helpful when it's time to take Dartanian to his checkups.

Enjoying our Saturday workshops together.

Having fun in the sand box together.

She's such a DIVA!

He didn't want me to take his picture, so serious but still cute.

Kanani was telling him he needed to keep his drawing on the paper.  He's been wanting to color on everything. 

Drawing together 

Having fun at Kids Crusade, Dartanian kept following Kanani everywhere.

Fun at the mall then lunch with daddy

Today we decided to go to the mall and go play in the play area.  It has been a little too hot outside for the kids to enjoy the outdoors for a long period of time.  They were very excited to get to play for longer than 30 minutes in some nice AC.

Little man was trying to help another baby up the slide.  They are always willing to lend a hand.

Love her smile, little man was too busy to look at me.

Trying to grab me right when I took the picture.  Of course little monkey is in the background climbing, what she does best.

Canoe fun

He gets so excited when he goes down the slide with no help.

She loves to climb on things.

We went to McDonald's to meet daddy there for lunch.  Little man wanted some of his sister's milk shake so we got him a separate cup.  As you can see he is really enjoying it.

Say cheese

Daddy's little princess

Twins, daddy's little prince

Enjoying some soup

We all enjoy eating soup, especially the littles  It's our go to food of choice whenever there is no dinner done or when we just want something fast and warm.

He has gotten to the point where he doesn't want anyone to feed him but wants to feed himself.  Where has my baby boy gone.

Messy fun!  Even though it seems like a lot of mess it's a good sensory experience for him and learning experience.  

He hates getting his hands dirty.

Good till the last drop.

Intro to Kinetic Sand

My nephews came over and I introduced them to Kinetic sand.  They loved it and now want to get some for themselves.  Who doesn't love Kinetic Sand?!

PIRATE ESCAPE 

Anthony was amazed by how it felt, how modeable it was, and how it wasn't sticky. 

He was so proud of his work. 

Danny was too busy to look up at me playing with Kinetic sand for the first time. 

Kanani's face is so funny, she did that because her ice cream was melting. 

ICE CREAM TREATS 

I set up four stations of sand and would have them rotate after 10 minutes, or whenever they were all ready to move on to the next station. 

Enjoying a different station. 

DOGGY DAYCARE 

My favorite one by far, given to me by a very special friend. 

FAIRYTALE PRINCESS 

So happy how much are collection of kinetic sand has grown.  It's definitely a favorite in our house. 

Lowe's Build & Grow Workshop: Hawkeye

Today we went to Lowe's for our Saturday Workshop and got to build our 4th Avenger Hawkeye.  During the summer Lowe's has two workshops each month.  We have really enjoyed our workshops this summer since we have been able to spend them with my nephews.  Sadly this was our last Saturday workshop with them before they go back home.  I wish they lived closer I'm going to hate seeing them leave after spending all summer with them.

Kanani is ready to get her workshop started, this is her second apron going on her third.  

Dartanian is always finding something to use for drum sticks.

Hard at work building Hawkeye's plane.

Kanani's completed work

Daniel (my youngest nephew) working on his project.

Anthony (my oldest nephew) working on his project.

All three kids with their finished work, as you can see there is an extra one which is Dartanian's.  He was too busy walking around Lowe's with his dad for me to get a picture of him with the kids.
