first day of kindergarten

Today was Keilana's first day of school. Maile says "I missing Keilana."

 

Keilana and Jayden. He makes sure to hold her hand as they walk to school together.

After dropping Keilana off Maile and I came home and got ready to go to breakfast with Grandma and Grandpa at our favorite place, The Original Pancake House. As I was getting ready she was pretending on the phone again and I just love listening to her talk, this is how is went this morning.

"Hi, I good. We just got home. I calling you back, are you at home?" calling Rebecca.

Now in closing and coping the idea from my cousin Keli here is the real celebration.

Lorin, Jackie, and I doing the happy dance because school is back in!!!

mornings with maile

There are things my kids say that just make me laugh. This morning Maile was on a role. I know this won't even do it justice on how cute she was being but I will try. She has had a runny nose so she talks with the stuffed up nasal voice and says "My head hurts, I am going to lay down. I need 2 vita c (vitamin c)." So I asked her how old she was and she said, " two and a half. No I six like Keilana. I a big girl." Then as I am walking away to get her the vitamin c she says, "I Katrina's girl." What a little ham, she knows what to say to make me laugh. And boy is she CUTE!!!

big sister to the rescue

We were at my sister Julia’s the other day for Caprice’s farewell party. Everyone was swimming and having a great time. Keilana and Maile are really getting good at swimming as long as they have the floaties on that is. So we had been swimming for a while and I had gotten out and Maile came over and said she was cold. I asked her if she wanted to get back in and she said no so I took her floaties off and put a towel around her. We were all visiting and next thing we knew Keilana was calling for us to help her get Maile out of the water!!! Maile had decided she wanted to get back in the pool. She just jumped in no floaties and Keilana and Charity pulled her out. With all the people there and the 5 year olds saved the day!!! Now in the next few years when Maile is getting on Keilana’s nerves I can say, “Be nice to your sister. She saved your life.” Aren’t sisters the greatest!!!
