Party of 4 - cancelled

On February 15th, I posted about how I would be going out with Kili again to take pics with Alaka'i, Albert, Elyze & Lilly. That had to be post-poned until further notice. But Kili & I took it upon ourselves to go out around Kent & shoot around the city. We met up with one of her students & parents who was eating breakfast at a local restaurant & they happily let us snap a few pics while they were hanging out together!

Mom's new do...

So I've been un-inspired by this daily blog (which is why i haven't posted in a 1/2 month)...let's carry on, shall we?





Mom recently cut her hair, because it was finally falling out. I was a bit shocked at first, but its just hair & it WILL grow back...

i love you....

This is a day where we celebrate love...however, I forgot until we were coming home from picking up Nyomi from school!! LOL (around 3:30pm) We agreed that our "gifts" to eachother would be this weekend in Portland & the house (if we get it!)....i think this is the first time we haven't been all mushy about this day. Dinner??? Oh! I had hula, so we went to McD's...ain't he romantic!?!?!?! :)

Good Luck Potluck!

Tonight we had a potluck at the halau to celebrate our boys going to Ka Hula Hou this weekend in Oakland, CA! It was SO much fun to see them & the songs that they're taking down. Did I mention the food??? Oh it was SO good....TOO BAD!!!

i LOVE hippos...

Ok, so i've had a thing for hippos for a really long time. Like, since my sophomore year in high school. From time to time, I'll mention to Marcel that I want a pet hippo, to which he replies with..."hippos kill more humans than any other animal out there" & my comment back is "well, my hippo won't." So a few weeks ago, he told me that a friend of ours, Julie, told him to watch the Youtube vid of "Jessica the hippo".....that's MY hippo (go watch it....she's SOOOO CUTE!!) Screw a dog, i want a hippo!! **Thank you Auntie Sue for my hippo from Disneyland. I love her!**

Makeup Party

This morning we had a makeup party at halau. Auntie Danette was the instructor to show us girls how to apply stage makeup (aka bright bam-my makeup...ick) but it was fun to play around & to watch mom too.

21st Birthday Dinner

On Tuesday, we went to Seattle to spend the evening with friends from the car club. One of the boys turned 21, so it was only right to get him drunk. LOL It was nice to hang out with everyone, because its been awhile!!

The offer...

Today Melisa & I went to take Marcel & mom to look at the top 3 houses from yesterday. It was a hard decision for Marcel too, but after some persuasion from his brother, he went with the one i loved below. We put in an offer today...
