Luka

Luka gets to play the Nintendo switch sometimes.

It's cute seeing a 4 year old playing some Mario Kart.

Serious Chef....errr...Baker!

He loves blueberry muffins and will always volunteer to help!

I took this picture of Luka napping on the floor...

When he sleeps I can still see baby Luka and O how I miss itty bitty baby Luka♥

Nature Walk

Last weekend we took advantage of the nice weather and went on a family hike!

The kiddos explored and found new structures!

 I backpacked Milo for a bit but then he decided to join his brothers and walk too.

He did a good amount of walking!

 Snack break.

We saw this giant flower so we took a picture for scale.

It's so big!

Happy Birthday James!

I'm off to get some birthday balloons for James!

Kai and Luka are my helpers this year♥

And this morning we started decorating Daddy's birthday cake!

I let the kiddos add all the fruits and sprinkles!

And here are the cool birthday candles we got.

"Older & Wiser"

Perfect candles for James...♥♥

Happy Birthday!!

カット！

It was time for another haircut!

I was trying to get photos of the new haircut but Luka wanted to be in the picture too...

James cut his hair by the way!

Saved us $30+ !

Kid's Workshop!

It's the monthly Kid's Workshop!

This month we built a classic car.

Luka tells me it's his favorite one so far.

Kai's favorite so far is last month's Planter.

Don't...hit...my finger...

For each workshop you also receive a pin!

So far we have a total of 4 pins!

Monkey Bars!

Practicing some monkey bars at the park.

Flip Flops

Check out my new flip flops!

I can't seem to find any hand-me-downs of flip flops...so weird.

So I bought a new pair for Milo.

He was SO excited he wanted to wear them around the house and he kept showing them off to me.

沖縄グッズ！

お揃いで沖縄シャツ貰いました！

かわいい！！

My parents recently returned from a trip to Japan, including Okinawa!

These shirts are from Okinawa and they are so cute!

 All matching!

I really like this one...the 2 little ones waiting for Kai to get off the bus.

And it gets better!

I told Luka to say cheese so Milo looks on and gets inspired...

Milo decides to copy Luka....

And here it is!

Squat and scrunch up your face and flare your nose and show those chompers!

Hilarious!

Memorial Day (Grandparents!)

Milo LOVES his Grandpa (Jiji).

I caught some cute videos of them together.

Making some dessert crepes--a favorite!

Awww...Kai got hurt and he's being consoled by Jiji...

^_^

I decided to listen to some vinyl records after not listening for a few months.

The kids were mesmerized by the spinning vinyl♥

I bought some Japanese snacks the other day at the store.

Milo knows Mario and when he saw this Mario chocolate he got so excited.  

"Buy Mario" he said...

So I had to get it.

I used to eat these as a kids...very nostalgic!

Luka's creations

Luka is always digging in our recycling bin to make things.

Left: "Paper Roll Smasher"

Right: "Bee Trapper"

Water Table!

Last week it hit over 80 degrees so of course I had to get the water table out!

Milo LOVED it♥
