Highlights from the week

I love this picture because #5 climbed right up on #1's lap. Not sure if I've seen that before. Sweet brotherly love:)


A blurry picture of a treat for the neighbor. Cinnamon ornament and chocolate pretzels.

#3 Lost another tooth..currently has 2 gone and 2 more loose. Love his smile. Here is the note he wrote for me; I guess he thinks I'm forgetful or something because he makes these signs for the table and they usually have the pipe cleaners standing straight up to catch my attention. It says"Mom dont frgot my tooth" and the tooth is taped on it.

The cutest thing

Well, maybe not the cutest but it was exciting to get in the mail. So small, I had to double check the size as I can't imagine something fitting the diaper. Makes me all excited to meet this child growing inside me!

The kids met a clown and were each given a balloon animal. #3 and his parrot, it had been perched up on his shoulder but he took it off to buckle up and mama couldn't figure out how it had stayed their so perfectly before

#2 and her swan.

#4 and his rabbit.

#1 had a sword but it popped before pictures were taken.

I went to a ladies retreat a couple weekends ago. Pam Farrel was the guest speaker. It was a lovely time if you take away the fact that I can't sit comfortably for long periods of time;)
Saturday morning we had a sunrise bible time. Bagpipes on the beach-played to Amazing Grace.

Our Praise team, leading us in song.


#1 and his broken tooth. #2 in the background makes me laugh. A song had come on the radio that she had done hula too so she was doing the hand motions.

Easter Sunday

It was a rough weekend in our home. But let us start with some of the happy highlights.

This video may make you dizzy as it was filmed by my daughter. I danced at two services before our own church service. Here we are at the sunrise service at a harbor. Moms, young ladies and a keiki make up our group here.





Here is an English version of the song if you aren't familiar with it.



Here's a quick snap of the kids. Digging into some eggs. Like the lovely spring flowers that were brought to me last week?




On our Praise God list is the fact that #3 safely made it home with help on Saturday after he wandered off.

On the other hand-
#1 has a broken tooth thanks to an impatient sibling who pushed him out of the way into a door. We've been at dental offices today as many people have looked at it. At this point he will be a plastic 'fix'. After he has braces in the future they will do a more permanent fix. Poor kid has such a sad looking mouth.

Ack, those are just some 'highlights' of the weekend. Thank goodness we can lean on our Lord and Savior when things are trying to get us down.
