Brunch with Auntie Dominique and Uncle Sebastien

Dom & Seb

I love breakfast!  It is by far my favorite meal of the day and the only thing that makes breakfast better is spending it with people you love.  Today we met up with our good friends Dominique and Sebastien.  Ironically, Dominique is my "little sis" in my sorority and Sebastien is Lucas' "big bro" in his fraternity.  We headed down to El Segundo to eat at Good Stuff, which is know for their fresh and healthy foods.  Choosing my … [Read more...]

The Perfect Morning

Morning 2

Today was one of "those" mornings; perfect.  Ke'alohi slept in until 7:30 am and when she got up, she was in such a great mood.  We spent the next 15 minutes playing in bed until Daddy woke up and joined in on the fun.  We weren't getting brunch until 11 am so we knew we had some time to play before getting ready, and boy did we play.  We had our own little pillow fight full of giggles and laughing by all of us.  Now that Ke'alohi is so … [Read more...]

Four Teeth!

Teeth

I can't believe this little girl is getting teeth so fast!  Her first tooth only broke like two months ago and now she has two on the top and two on the bottom.  Now she can grind some of her food with her new "pearly whites."  They all look like they are coming in straight which hopefully means that she has my teeth genes. On a side note, when Lucas was little, his teeth were nothing short of a train wreck.  His dentist was able to fix it … [Read more...]

Lunch at Duke’s and Traveling Down the PCH

IMG_0449

Today was an absolutely gorgeous day in Los Angeles.  I know I'm so hard on this city and it's weather because I grew up in paradise, so for me to say today was a great day, it really means that today was an amazing day.  After Gymboree class we headed up the Pacific Coast Highway for a nice lunch at Duke's in Malibu.  There is nothing better on a bright, beautiful day in Los Angeles, than driving up the coast with the sun roof open and the … [Read more...]

It’s a Gymboree Day!

I love Saturday!  Not only is it the weekend, but it is also the day Lucas and I take Ke'alohi to her Gymboree class.  It is so much fun playing with all the equipment and watching Ke'alohi play with all the other babies.  Last week, our favorite teacher, Jen, worked her last day at Gymboree, so today we had a new teacher running the show.  Ke'aohi was completely captivated by her during bubble and parachute time and just stared at … [Read more...]

Ke’alohi vs. The Spoon

IMG_0385

We have gotten to the point where for Ke'alohi eating is no longer new and confusing; it's fun.  Usually she eats best when she is either distracted by playing with a toy or when we have cheerios on her tray for her to pick at.  If she is not focusing on something, she is focusing on you and the spoon.  Once she has fixated on the spoon, you're a goner.  Her mission from then on is to grab at it, hit it, and pretty much touch the spoon by any … [Read more...]

Motherhood is... sweet Time is going by so fast!  We are already in the thick of planning Ke'alohi's baby luau or 1st birthday.  I am really trying to savor all the times we have with Ke'alohi while she is this small.  Last night, Ke'alohi was in such a great mood during bath time and was loving on Daddy.  I just couldn't resist taking a picture of "Daddy's Girl."  Aren't they just two peas in a pod? If you want to see more blogs also … [Read more...]
