Fun @ da Zoo!!!

Kaipolani Hospital celebrated it's 100 year anniversary and had a event at the Zoo.
It was a lot of fun, especially since it was FREE!!!
The kids, Chaian, and I went with his parents all all his sisters.
My kids love them! We had so much fun!

Family Photos @ Hoomaluhia Botanical Gardens

SORRY FOR THE PICTURE OVERLOAD!!!

I finally got some family pictures taken. I seriously thought it wasn't going to be that bad. Okay so first trying to match us all, sucked. We almost had to wear all black, until I borrowed my brother's blue shirt for Chaian.

Then Jazlyn feel asleep on the way there and was not happy to wake up in a strange place with a camera in her face. Had to try keep everyone from getting their white dress from getting dirty. Then we had to walk around the garden (it's huge) and I was wearing 4 inch heels (bad idea).

So then we get to the spot to take pictures and Kai'den won't look at the photographer, and Jazlyn won't smile. Then Kai'den decides he thinks it will be funny to start to throw rocks and dirt, which some landed on the photographer and her camera. She probably was thinking what is wrong with these kids, haha!

After about an hour of taking pictures, which most Kai'den or Jazlyn are neither looking at the camera or smiling, Kai'den gets bit by a mosquito on his face and starts freaking out slapping his face saying he's being attached, and would not calm down until we took him to the car.

And it was also really humid, so My husband and I were sweating to death, trying to look fresh for the photo was not happening. What an adventure. Next time I hope is a lot better. Here are the pictures I got a preview of, more to come soon!

I cut my hair off, and survived, lol!!!

Taken right before I went...

Anyone whose known me for a long time, knows I have always had long hair. The shortest I have ever cut it is about the middle of my back. I've wanted shorter hair for awhile but never had the balls to actually do it.

Recently I've been so sick of my long hair, especially in Hawaii, with the weather I'm always wearing it in a ponytail, and well it's a pretty dull look. So last week I decide I was going to do it, but I just didn't know where I was going to get it done. The week came and went, and I didn't get it done, and I think part was cause I didn't trust any stylist and part was cause I was a chicken.

Sunday night I told my husband I'm cutting my hair tomorrow. Monday morning I did my usual routine, and by noon I was ready to go to the Post Office and go cut my hair. My husband was like make an appointment, I couldn't even do that, because if I did then I would be committing to a hair cut. I made the excuse that I wanted to see the stylish that was going to cut it before I say it's okay, haha.

He actually had a coupon for a free haircut at Supercuts, yup that's what I said, Supercuts. Plus I'm so cheap so I walk into the Supercuts, and this Korean looking lady was at the counter, and I said I need a haircut, she kind of laughed. My heart starting to pound as she sat me in the chair. So trying to stall I asked to see a hair book, even though I brought like five pictures of the kind of cut I wanted. So we talked about what I wanted done for about 2 minutes. She said yeah, okay, I know. So then I took a deep breath as she got out her spray bottle and scissors. No turning back now. So then I asked if she could cut it in a ponytail so I could keep my hair. I put the ponytail in, and then here came the scissors. I was like wait, take a picture. So she took the picture. And then she said ready, I said wait as I pulled the pony down about an inch, and then I was like okay.

The sound of my hair being cut off, freaked me out so bad, that I seriously started to kind of hyperventilate. I looked down at my hands and they were shaking and curling not even kidding. And then she hands me my hair.


I'm looking at it short and I was like what did I do to my hair. She continued to cut, layering the back, and then cutting around the front. After about 10 minutes of more torture of hearing the hair and scissors, she's all lets cut the bangs shorter.

The word shorter made me want to cry. So I said um okay, but not too short. When it was all over. I gave her a tip and said thank you.

I seriously ran to the bathroom before my husband came to pick me up to see what I had done to myself. I called him and I was like I don't know what I did to my hair. But when he picked me up he had this big smile and all my kids were laughing and they said they liked it.

So that's my panic story, about my short hair fear, and I conquered it. And now I love my hair. Long hair was fun in my teens, but now I feel like I look more my age, instead of always being mistaken for a high school student.

The only thing I regret is I wish Michelle got to do it. She's such a fabulous hair stylish. Next time...

Look at my face in the mirror, I was stocked!!!

I think I liked it more when I got to come home and style it the way I wanted to!


THE END!

Happy 2nd year Anniversary to US!

So we survived another year of marriage, got two under our belt, lol... It has def been a crazy relationship with many ups and downs, but I wouldn't change a minute of any of it.

I met my husband seven years ago at 24 hour fitness, go figure. Me work out, yeah right. My best friend Lindsey worked at 24 hour fitness, and because I had no life, I would go hang out at the front desk after college got out, literally. Right at the front desk sitting on my little bar stool, talking story with Lindz, while we would check out the hot guys coming in and out, and rag on some of the girls, sorry for that.

Well then one day I stopped by as usually, and then headed to the bathroom, so I had a reason to check out who was actually there, and I seen Chaian (my hubby) boxing in the aerobics room with another guy, I was seriously like who's that, he's hot, haha!

I secertly stocked him with my eyes when I would go see Lindsey, but I never talked to him, until one day I decided to go tanning (right next door to 24 hour) and as I was leaving a guy yelled from one of the beds, "Hey I know you, you're Lindsey's friend." It was Chaian ditching work hiding in a tanning bed sleeping, so funny.

He eventually asked me to the movies, we saw XXX (triple X) not x-rated, haha. And well now 3 babies later, here we are. Well to be honest with a lot of big bumps along the road, okay like mountains, but we're making it slowly day by day.

So happy 2nd year Anniversary Chaian, and here goes our try at another, haha :)



This picture is about 5 months after we meet in 2002, his friend was a photog and needed some couple shoots!

We didn't have your normal wedding that's for sure, right in my living room, I didn't even tell anyone, not that I was embarrassed, but I didn't want to invite anyone to just sit in my living room, kind of lame, now I wish I would of called Michelle and Jessica, sorry girls!



Here's a pic Siselee took of my after, pretty good for a 11 year old, huh! I was 5 months prego with Jazlyn, no surprise there.

Here's us today at my mother-in-law's acting like dorks.

The cake my mother-in-law surprised us with, was sooo good!


And Chaian cutting it, haha!


Marriage
It isn't easy by all means,
sometimes I want to kick him
but at the end of the day
I wouldn't want it any other way

One minute we could be arguing
and the next laughing together,
sometimes so hard we cry
Not perfect, but we try

And we might not be at our best,
but we're trying to get there
It's has been an journey
and I know there's more we'll see

It ain't all roses and candy
or white picked fences
it's diapers and dirty laundry
and somewhere in between

I'm hard headed and so is he
I want to be the leader,
and he wants to be the boss
so most of the time we cross

Mistakes are plenty
learning is slow
your wrong, whose right
who started the fight

Marriage is work
especially when you add kids
but that love, and bond
is the one treasure that lives on...
