Because a smile is worth a thousand words... ;)

No matter how difficult the day, how trying the moment... a smile goes a long way in making someone happy or forget about all the bad things - even if just for one moment.  My children are always making me smile.  Don't get me wrong - they drive me absolutely insane and sometimes I consider checking myself into the ward... but, just a simple smile and my heart melts again and again. 

Luke is not usually easy to capture on camera without he making goofy faces. lol

Ka'eo loves his little brothers and is such a great big brother. 

The twins love their big brother very very much. ;) Awesome smiles.

Priceless.

Isaiah is our biggest goofball and a complete ham when it comes to the camera... he will stop to smile any day of the week - if a camera is involved. lol

And the goofball making faces. ;)

Brotherly love.

Hopefully their beautiful smiles and happy faces make your day an awesome one. ;)

Fun time in the Halloween Aisle... lol

The last few years that we celebrated Halloween - the boys really weren't that interested in any of the costumes, masks, etc... and when I say boys - I mean my twins.  Now, they laugh and get excited at all the really cool things. ;)

Today - while doing some shopping and waiting for my eldest to finish with school - we walked through the Halloween aisle in our local CVS.  The twins were so excited to try on masks and look at all the fun things.  There was nothing but smiles.  Dad and I even got in on the fun. ;) Here are a few pictures from our 5 minutes of exploring the Halloween section. ;)

above - Isaiah, wearing the Jason mask.  You can't see through the mask, but Isaiah kept giggling and laughing... constantly smiling. lol

above - here's Luke - he thought it was so interesting that his nose was no longer soft... but really hard.  He kept pinching it. lol

above - this mask looked so cute on Luke.  His big brown eyes shown through and it really did match him.  His brother Isaiah was laughing the whole time.

above:  lol - Isaiah's chinese kind of pulls strong in this photo. lol

  

of course,  my hunny and I had to get in on the action too. lol ;) The boys were cracking up.

Such an awesome and fun time and the twins had a blast.  Too bad big brother wasn't with us - he would have loved the fun too. 

Have a great Thursday.

Where does the time go? Our twins are 2 years old today...

I'm a little late in posting this - I had originally intended to do so this morning, but was caught up with so many other things - I didn't have the chance.

Today is the birthday of my twins - Luke & Isaiah.  They are 2 years old today. ;)

Happy Birthday 

Luke & Isaiah

I got up this morning and was pretty emotional as I looked in on my twins while they were still sleeping.  

Being a parent can be such an emotional experience all in its own - but my journey to having these lovelies was definitely a challenge.  While pregnant with them, being active was just impossible.  I spent most of my 7 and a half months of pregnancy in bed and unable to really move or even eat anything without feeling nauseated.  I lost over 45lbs through my entire pregnancy and my weight on the day I gave birth was less than what I was when I found out I was pregnant.  As if that wasn't a challenge... my blood pressure was so high the day I went in for my Pre-op for Cesarean scheduled for Sept. 10th that my doctor just couldn't allow me to keep the babies in me for the extra 2 days, it was life threatening for me and she rushed me to an emergency C-Section on the 8th of September instead.   So, I went straight from the regular doctor's office to the hospital and on to surgery to see my little munchkins.  Being told that you could possibly lose your life and also be told that you will get to see meet two little angels a day early was a very emotional experience.  

Now - two years later, these little boogies keep me busy.  I still don't know what a full nights rest is and I'm consistently running after them and around them, but 

I WOULD NEVER TRADE IT FOR THE WHOLE WORLD.  

Here are a few pictures of our angels and the last 2 years, they are in no particular order, but I'm sure you can see the timeline by looking at how much they have grown ;)  

Mommy, Daddy & Ka'eo love you guys very much... Happy Birthday to our little loves. ;)

Tonight's Birthday Cake Celebration ;)

A goofball - he always has a second to smile! ;)

My youngest of my twins (only by a minute) is Isaiah.  Though both of them (Luke & Isaiah) are very funny and have huge personalities... but Isaiah, he is just the little character.  Always trying to make someone smile when he knows he is about to be in trouble. ;)

He is also a ham... as you can probably tell from these photos.  All I have to do is pull out the camera and tell him to say cheese and he is locked and ready for his minute of fame. ;) I caught this during the week, and had to share them.

Hopefully this goofball will help bring sunshine & happiness to all of you for the week.

Enjoy!

My twins... just a few months old.

I was in trouble the moment I found out I was pregnant... They absolutely stole my heart from the beginning. ;)

Baby Thoughts... where did the time go?

I know it is not often that I post something so personal... but I was sitting here at my desk earlier today and was thinking about all the hours and days that go by... and how time flies.  My twins are now 18 months old... and my eldest son is now 7.  So many thoughts fluster my mind when I think about special memories I had with each one of my children... and I cannot believe how much they have changed and grown.

Pictured Above:  Ka'eo - one week old

I am so very proud of my boys... Ka'eo has had so many accomplishments and the twins are meeting each and every development milestone.  I know they have to grow up...  and that you can't stop time - but sometimes I wish I could just have one more day with their baby selves. :)

Don't their smiles make your heart melt?

Before their haircuts... My boys were watching t.v. And I snapped this picture of them playing. Luke on the right and Isaiah on the left.
