memorial day at the beach!

so my workout class was meeting up at the beach on Memorial Day so we all brought our husbands along.  Boy was it a perfect day for the beach!

It quickly got crowded right after we got there.

Kai went off to play with friends but Luka and Milo worked on their beach art!

Digging, stacking, doing stretches, etc.

ta-da!

Hi!!

A decent photo will everyone smiling!!

Happy Thanksgiving!!

A get together at my parents' house for Turkey Day!

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Farm+Trails

Last weekend we all went to visit a beautiful farm.

Lots of trails and a brand new playground!

They had a scarecrow maze just in time for Halloween!

Halloween 2016 !

Here's a video of our Halloween outing this year!

We went to our usual favorite outdoor mall for trick or treating.

We got lucky again this year...It was raining during the day but it stopped for the evening!

The morning rain...Luka in his bumble bee get-up♥

Yes, that is a sandwich in Luka's mouth.

Always eating...

I took so many pictures and this was the only photo I got with all three boys looking at the camera!

Hugs!

Luka was SOOOOOO excited to wear his Panda costume.

He's rockin' it!

Family photo♥

Milo stayed in the stroller but he had a basket too so I trick-or-treated for him.

This year, Auntie came along!

Which was very helpful...3 kids are hard to manage.

We assigned one adult per child!

Auntie wore her Maleficent costume.

The kids had so much fun and I enjoyed it too!

I'm so sad Halloween is already over....but we have more holidays coming up!

I love this time of the year♥

Tired Mommy

I found this photo in my camera today...

Apparently James snuck a photo of me sleeping with Milo.

I couldn't help but laugh--but this photo makes me smile ^_^

ジェームズにこっそり写真撮られました。

Christmas 2015 (part 1) PHOTOS ♥

I made sure to get a photo of the boys BEFORE the chaos and mess of opening presents.

"cheese!"

My parents were so awesome--they brought over home-cooked meals over for us.

And instead of driving over to my parents they all decided to come over to our house!

It was nice because being 8 months pregnant, I can do only so much...

Thanks guys!

♥

I didn't get to take too many photos because it was crazy!  But here are the few shots I got.

I hope everyone had an awesome holiday!

Check out Luka's awesome Turtle shirt!

From Pa-Paw!

Family photo ♥

Kai's preschool requested a family photo this year so we TRIED this morning.

I thought this first photo was great...until I saw Luka's face....

カイのプリスクールが家族写真をリクエスト。

久しぶりに家族4人で写真を撮ってみた。

一発目で撮れたと思ったら、ルカの目が.....

Tried again... Luka wasn't looking at the camera...

もう一回！

ルカのカメラ目線が外れた！

Tried again..... Luka started crying and fussing and Kai was unhappy...

もう一回....

あ～あ、ルカがついに泣き出した。

カイもがっかり。

Did we finally get a good photo? Well...Luka is crying but hey, I kinda like it ♥

最後に取れたのがこれ。

皆良く映ってるけど、ルカが泣き顔。

でもそれもそれでいいかな？
