Rest in peace. We love you.

summer fun

2010-10-03T23:13:00.000-07:00

Although it seemed like we didn't have much of a summer out here with the uncooperative weather, we did hit have some fun.

Obon festival;

Las Vegas;

(tooting is popular with them these days.. not certain, but this picture was probably proceeded by "smell my butt")

and of course the beach.

we recently took the girls to the kids museum and i've included a few of the pics below.. enjoy

The girls recently starting taking gymnastics and have really enjoyed... they get to jump, tumble and roll, plus there are now boys.

donut day

2010-06-05T08:16:00.000-07:00

on friday we celebrated a family tradition of getting free donuts at Krispy Kreme on National Donut Day... both of the girls went with the chocolate sprinkle donuts. kiana likes to dig right in, but malia prefers to eat the sprinkles off first.

clean teeth

2010-06-01T14:40:00.000-07:00

the girls recently went to the dentist for their 6-month check-up/cleaning. They currently love going because they get stickers and silly glasses (and haven’t yet had a need for any work done). However, kiana will likely be getting a tonsillectomy soon and we’re not sure if the stickers/toys, or even a week of ice cream, will be enough to erase the memory…

first real haircut

2010-05-28T10:51:00.000-07:00

a few weeks ago, the girls got their first real haircut (dad's don't count) and here are a few pics from it. although the girls did well, they didn't seem to care for it too much....that is until the hairdresser put glitter in their hair when she was styling it. mom has now taken that role over on what seems to be a daily basis. so, if you see little objects in their hair, don't worry its probably not lice, just glitter.

our little ballerinas

2010-05-11T22:15:00.000-07:00

The girls recently had their first ballet recital. Mom was worried they'd get stage freight, but all of those ~~months~~ ~~weeks~~ days of practice paid off. Here are a few pictures..

holidays in hawaii

2010-01-10T23:32:00.000-08:00

while much of the country was in a deep freeze over the holidays, the girls spent their's in warm, sunny hawaii visiting their new cousin, auntie, uncle, grandma and grandpa. and, for the first time ever, the girls sat on Santa's lap, although Malia still needed a little hand-holding (literally).

Christmas was fun and the girls had a good time opening presents and playing with auntie..

the frozen yogurt with auntie was pretty good too..

and of course, what would a trip to Hawaii be without some time in the sand and a trip to Matsumoto's...

the girls even got to play pop-pops with auntie and fireworks with uncle and grandpa..

We hope everyone had a good holiday season and we wish you the best for 2010!

our idols wishing everyone happy holidays!

2009-12-24T00:55:00.000-08:00

look for the holiday album coming out soon.. er, maybe it'll be a single. the bells song seems to be their favorite.

school pics

2009-12-16T21:30:00.000-08:00

the girls just had their first ever school pictures and they did a good job smiling for the camera. mom and dad however didn't do a very good job of preparing them and let Malia's hair grow a little long. i'm sure she'll be wondering what we were thinking when she gets older... but then again, isn't that one of the reasons to take school pictures???..to question your parents about your clothes, hair style, etc. when you get older..

GOAL!

2009-12-09T22:17:00.000-08:00

We recently signed the girls up for soccer and for the last couple of weeks they've spent their Saturday mornings playing... please know that i am using the term "play" very loosely. Most of their time is spend standing around trying to avoid both the dogs on the sideline the crowed of kids running around the ball. The girls absolutely hate it and its a struggle to get them on the field every week. However, since they are still able to wear skirts, they seem to put up with it. And, although they aren't the best players on the team, we think they're the cutest. Their next activity is dance/gymnastics, which we hope goes a little better.

Halloween fairies

2009-12-05T21:47:00.001-08:00

Both of the girls went as fairies this Halloween.. we went out with other kids in the neighborhood, but Kiana and Malia skipped out early because they couldn't wait to go home and have some of their treats.

baseball fever

2009-10-06T20:20:00.000-07:00

It took nearly the entire season but we finally made it to a Padres game. The girls really enjoyed it (running around and eating junk food that is, they could’ve cared less about the game… just like mom ).

trip to kansas

2009-09-16T22:10:00.000-07:00

We recently went back to Kansas to see auntie, uncle, cousins and of course grandpa. the girls were kept busy with lots of activities, including a zoo where they got special attention from "Bre-nana" and "T-Bone" ...

of course what would a vacation be without a trip to the spa... ahh, a fresh set of nails!

trying to give the girls a taste of how dad grew up (everyone in KS lives on a farm.. right? - this is what it seems everyone out here thinks..) we went to a farm where they saw (and milked) cows, feed baby goats, and watched bunnies among other other activities..

unfortunately, the girls had a cold most of the trip which, combined with a long plane ride and a lot of driving, lead to some moments that weren't so pleasant..

dad did get a night for america's favorite pastime. however, i'll assure you not many innings were like the pics below..

dad and kiana checking out the new digs at the ballgame..

how many times can we go down the water slide??? i guess it makes the swim classes worthwhile...

the girls even got to spend the night with auntie and bre!

the girls seemed to have a really good time with grandpa and the cousins and continue talking/asking about them. they seem eager to come back again.. next time ~~mom and dad~~ they want to have more sleepovers!

first day of school

2009-09-14T13:01:00.000-07:00

the girls have their first day of school today.. they were very excited about it beforehand, but this excitement seemed to diminish once we actually got there. fortunately they have each other to help with the change. although they've been going to daycare for almost 2 yrs now, they'll now be in larger group with more children their age, a more structured class and bringing their own lunch bag (not sure if this is good or bad for mom and dad). when we left the girls seemed to be taking it all in… while mom and dad were a little sad to see them make the change.

we're back

2009-08-22T21:16:00.000-07:00

little mermaids

2009-06-16T21:03:00.000-07:00

The girls recently started to take swim class (at least that’s what its called… even if swimming is a ways off). The girls really enjoyed the first class but the other two haven’t been quite as enjoyable as the instructors have begun putting their heads under water. Although they didn’t enjoy the last few classes at the time, they are looking forward to going back so I guess that’s a good sign....although I’m not sure if that has anything to do with the swimming.. its probably more to do with the toys they play with in the pool. Although you can't tell by the pictures, Kiana has actually been doing a little better with the water than Malia (at least she hasn't tried to climb out of the pool like Malia).

strawberry fields

2009-04-23T23:21:00.000-07:00

last weekend we took the girls to a u-pick strawberry field. they enjoyed themselves although their grips were a little strong and it ended up getting kinda messy (i think we had to throw away more than we kept). oh well, i guess that's why we paid more to pick our own than what we could've paid at the grocery store.

easter egg hunt

2009-04-12T22:18:00.000-07:00

We hid eggs for the girls today (okay, we didn't really hid them... we just laid them at various spots on the ground) for their first real hunt. Last year they weren't quite sure what was going on and mom and dad did most of the egg hunting. This year however, they did pretty well.. after they stopped trying to give their eggs to us, that is.

At home, they enjoyed the fruits of their labor..

wild animals

2009-04-12T11:00:00.000-07:00

Recently we went to the Wild Animal Park to see the animals before the summer crowds. We assumed that Kiana would be scared of most, if not all, of the animals while Malia would be scared of only the ones that got close to her. However, to our surprise, the only thing both of the girls were truly frightened of was.......

that's right... it wasn't the lions, tigers, elephants or monkeys, it was the giant balloon ride that takes visitors up in the air for a view of the entire park. Even after moving 1/2 mile away, the balloon could still be seen in the air, which was very unsettling....

After comforting each other however (and exiting the park), the fear subsided..

weekend fun

2009-01-24T08:14:00.000-08:00

Last weekend we enjoyed nice, warm weather and took advantage by spending a few hours at the beach, having a picnic and going to the park. A milestone was also reached last weekend.... the girls could finally touch the pedals on their tricycles! It took Malia about 30 seconds before she get the hang of it and was going 90 mph... it took Kiana a little longer but she finally got it. Once she did, her pace was much more leisurely.

happy new year

the ultimate sacrifice

2008-12-28T20:43:00.000-08:00

Not only did Kiana and Malia leave milk and cookies for Santa along with a carrot for the reindeer on Christmas Eve, but they also left their most prized possession… their pacifiers! The girls had been using these to fall asleep at night ever since they were born and would fight us when we suggested that they didn’t need them anymore. We decided to wait for an opportune time and decided xmas was it. We prepared them for a few weeks, telling them that if they left them for Santa on Christmas Eve, he would take them and give them as gifts to other little babies as Christmas presents… Surprisingly, they were great about leaving them for him and didn’t fuss a bit going to sleep that night (Malia has occasionally asked for them since, but we just remind her that Santa took them and the urge passes).

We know it was overdue (which is probably why it was so easy), but we’re still proud of how generous they were with the thing they loved most..

merry christmas

Santa

2008-12-23T08:22:00.000-08:00

Once again, we are unable to post pictures of the girls with Santa. They remain deathly afraid of the jolly old man and refuse to sit on his lap. We thought this year may be different as we had talked about Santa for weeks and they had even said that they wanted to see him. However, after standing in line for an hour and seeing all the other little boys and girls sit on his lap, they still wanted no part of it once it was their turn. Somehow, I think they’ll still have something under the tree…

Happy holidays! We miss you.

15 minutes..

2008-09-22T22:39:00.000-07:00

Malia recently shot a commercial for IKEA along with two other sets of twins (for commercials with childern, they like to use twins when casting as they can interchange the kids as moods swing.... and they usually have at least two sets of twins in case neither are in the mood). The casting call requested childern that were "cute, but in a weird way" and I guess Malia fit.. (I'm sure Kiana was cute in a "normal" way). Anyway, Malia did really well in all of her shots in the morning, but unfortunately she didn’t get a long enough break after for lunch and wasn’t happy in the early afternoon and they weren't able to get all the shots they needed. We already saw the commercial on TV (see video), which confirmed that they went ahead and used one of the sets of twins for the spot. Malia doesn't seem to mind.. she didn't get her 15 minutes of fame yet but did get her first paycheck (and made more per hour than either her mom or dad).

Below are a couple of pictures from the set and the final commerical..

I don't know about you, but we think Malia would've been MUCH cuter. Perhaps we're biased though??..

two little monkeys jumping on the bed, one fell off....

2008-08-19T21:46:00.000-07:00

a few weeks ago the girls were playing around on the bed in the morning before school (okay, it’s just daycare but we feel better calling it school) when Kiana fell off and hit the nightstand. The fall left a ¼” cut right above her right lip. It was a pretty scary moment as we rushed her to the emergency room. Unfortunately she had just eaten so they couldn’t knock her out to stitch it up. So, (I hate even remembering the thought of it..) they strapped her in a full-body papoose so she couldn’t move (or at least that was the intent… the little bugger had two nurses and mom holding her down too). The doctor did a pretty good job of getting the stitches in (although I think it took a couple of tries) even as Kiana didn’t stop screaming "Pau! Pau!" and moving her mouth the entire time. Once it was over and the initial reaction to scratch the stitches wore off, Kiana didn’t even seem to notice. She’s been quite a trooper ever since putting on Mederma 3+ times a day. She’s even gotten better about wearing her hat outside to keep the sun off the cut. It’s still healing but seems to be looking better everyday.

here's a picture of Kiana's lip a few days after the fall..

we're back!

2008-08-17T07:20:00.000-07:00

Have lots to post. Hope you're all still with us. We have a lot to catch up on the next several days....

Visit from Grandma and Grandpa

2008-07-23T22:24:00.000-07:00

Hawaii Grandma and Grandpa came to visit us recently and helped us celebrate our second birthday. We enjoyed the time we got to spend with them as well as all the presents we got...

The girls did their best at blowing out the candles, but the two on the cake were just a few too many..

Brainwashed by daddy already..

The girls went to Belmont Park and Malia rode a few of the rides with Grandma..

Kiana just watched.

Birthday dinner and ice cream...

Thank you for coming to visit, please come back soon!

annual trip to kansas

2008-07-13T21:50:00.000-07:00

last weekend we took a short trip back to kansas to see grandpa t, auntie becky, uncle shane and cousins kelsi, trenton and breanna. we had a good time, but the trip was pretty short (weather was a lot hotter than back home too).. also, we didn't get to see a lot of people we would've liked to, but hope that we'll be able to see everyone the next time..

the plane trip there was great.. only a few people on the whole plane so we had plenty of room.. kiana kept herself busy the whole way with her coloring.. malia was good too, but not quite as calm..

playing with breanna, trenton and kelsi..

a day in kc gave us enough time to go see a royals game and play around before we headed home..

kisses goodbye... we had fun!

busy, busy

2008-06-30T22:42:00.000-07:00

We've been keeping ourselves pretty busy lately and were fortunate to have auntie and uncle visit this past weekend (thankfully we must not have scared auntie away during her last trip).. Kiana had a very good time at the zoo getting all the attention from her visitors and could've cared less if mom and dad were around. Earlier in the week we went to the San Diego Fair. Malia rode a few of the rides (Kiana decided to sit it out as usual) and everyone got to see some farm animals in person.

we hope to get back on track of posting at least once a week.. we'll see..

Hi! Sorry we haven't updated for a while, but I (mom) returned to work this past week and haven't had time to sit down at home with the computer. As I started my new job, the girls started going to daycare for the first time. They are going to an in-home daycare, and so far they seem to be enjoying it. Though I miss them a lot!

it's about time for an update....

2007-12-05T17:02:00.000-08:00

hope you're still with us! I feel as though we've been so busy and I've been so exhausted, but nothing new is really going on and I've been getting nothing accomplished. I guess it's just that time of year, combined with this cold I've been fighting for quite some time. Kiana and Malia are doing well, they have been talking a lot, finally. We thought they would never talk (to us) and would continue their "twinspeak" forever (which is very fascinating but not normal), but they are finally consistently saying things we can comprehend, like ball, banana, pau, waffle, duck, ma (grandma), pa (grandpa), dog, etc. They also make a lot of animal noises (meow, woof, growl, baa, elephant sounds, raaaar (dinosaur, lion, leopard, bear)). They're still pretty good eaters and eat a lot! Some of their new favorite foods include raw onions, tomato juice, beans and bran cereal, along with their old favorites (natto, spaghetti, rice, mixed veggies). As I wrote that down it just became clear to me why they poop 3 times a day or more! Okay! More later....gotta go and start dinner...hope you're all well! Here are some pictures of the girls taken yesterday:

2007-10-26T08:18:00.000-07:00

Hi everyone! I meant to post this yesterday to let you know we're all okay. We appreciate all the calls, emails and kind thoughts, and want to say thanks and that we're safe and back home. Our place was not in the actual burn area, but at one point they thought the fires might reach the coast, so we were evacuated with the Del Mar/Carmel Valley area as a precaution. There's still the smoke and ashes (which are getting better....I see blue skies today), but that's really nothing to deal with compared to what others are going through.

Here are some pics of the girls at Qualcomm, and below that are pics of the girls in their Halloween costumes taken at the 4S Ranch Pumpkin Festival, which was this past Saturday.

our trip to Hawaii

2007-09-06T15:16:00.000-07:00

We're back from Hawaii! We had a wonderful time, and wish we could've stayed longer, or forever :). Grandma and Grandpa threw a really nice birthday party for Kiana & Malia at the Moana Surfrider. It was so nice seeing everyone again. Here are some pictures from our trip. Sorry about the party pictures. The photographer (mom) was so busy she didn't get many pictures, and half of them were all black from the sun shining through the window. Jen O. got pictures of mom's friends and grandpa has pictures of everybody, so let me know if you want to see more pictures and I can email them. Thank you all for coming to Kiana & Malia's birthday party. We miss you all so much!!
