This week my dad's brother, Uncle Larry, was in San Diego getting his CPE training.  For those people that aren't accountants, after you become a CPA, you have to keep up-to-date with training and continuing your education and the AICPA monitors that by requiring CPAs to earn CPE credits.  Lucky for us, Uncle Larry had the night off and invited us down to San Diego for the night to grab dinner!  As if dinner and hanging out with … [Read more...]

Halloween marks the beginning of the holiday season, our first with Ke'alohi.  Like most parents learn, when it comes to babies, expect the unexpected and try not to get disappointed if things don't go as planned.  I had originally planned in my head this perfect night where we would take Ke'alohi out trick-or-treating in her pumpkin costume on this perfectly decorated street with lots of kids and everyone would ooohhh and aaahhh at … [Read more...]

Because of all the movies we watch, we love it when we get the chance to see actors or actresses when my mom is visiting us in Los Angeles.  Last time she was … [Read more...]

This week at our Gymboree class, to celebrate Halloween, all the babies wore their Halloween costumes!  To nobody's surprise, Ke'alohi was the most adorable pumpkin out there.  She rocked her tights and costume like it was her job!  All the other babies were cute as a button but this little girl might have stolen the show like she stole Mommy and Daddy's heart! … [Read more...]
