She tells us, "I WANT MY EARS PIERCED!" <em>Huh? No, you're too young. </em> "BUT ALL MY FRIENDS HAVE IT!" <em>So what, if your friends jump off a cliff, are you going to jump off a cliff too? </em> How many times did our parents tell us that? Ha!<br /><br />So anyway, Carlos tries to scare her and describes the blood and gore of getting ears pierced (yeah, what does he know...) and that they have to use a shot needle to poke it through. (CRUEL, I KNOW!) For a few days she was scared, but surprised us by deciding that she still wants to go through with it. Her determination impressed us, so we had to backpedal and tell her how it doesn't hurt at all...it's just a little pinch (what do we know?) and we reluctantly agreed to let her get "it" done.<br /><br />Let me just remind you all that I faint when I get shots (yes, it's called Post Traumatic Syndrome) so I was already feeling lightheaded when we got to Claires at Ala Moana. Incidentally, I scoped out the place the day before and made sure somebody "good" was working on Maddie's birthday. (They were probably making jokes behind my back after I left.)<br /><br />One, two, three...POKE! It was done in a second. Maddie got both ears done at the same time. Carlos filmed it in a macabre-like fashion. My palms were sweating for her, but she was so brave. She was actually singing to the store music while she sat there! Right after it was done, she was a little shocked, but she had no tears and I could tell that she was trying to be brave in front of daddy by saying, "Mommy, I'm okay. It only hurts a little. I'm fine." <br /><br />I had a headache afterward.Summerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02430822120093317601noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6368105757355468357.post-24236085845971268992009-09-07T01:06:00.000-07:002009-10-20T01:07:22.720-07:00Carlos our professional photographer!<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_NY7MeqJI-Fo/St1vjx8ok6I/AAAAAAAAAUc/W484k9ymOI8/s1600-h/gecko.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_NY7MeqJI-Fo/St1vjx8ok6I/AAAAAAAAAUc/W484k9ymOI8/s400/gecko.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5394590589153481634" /></a><br /><br />Carlos took this picture of a gecko in Maui.

We always stay at The Grand Wailea and literally don't even leave the hotel! I think we spent 25 hours at the pool! Carlos rented a cabana this year so it was nice for the kids to get out of the sun and take naps at the pool.

Zak spent 7 days in the hospital due to a terrible virus. He lost 5 lbs and threw up for 5 of the 7 days. IV was impossible after 6 hours(long story and too painful to retell) so the Director of Pediatrics had to come to ER and perform a surgery to insert into Zak's groin. So far, this was one of the scariest times of our lives. I lived at the hospital while Carlos struggled to take care of work, the girls, and the hospital visits. <br /><br />Zak is doing well now and we are glad to have him home.Summerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02430822120093317601noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6368105757355468357.post-45090085168451855992008-12-25T13:19:00.000-08:002009-10-16T13:50:41.269-07:00Christmas Day 2008<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_NY7MeqJI-Fo/StjW65Q_YvI/AAAAAAAAARE/xN17Qa64aeA/s1600-h/P1013628.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_NY7MeqJI-Fo/StjW65Q_YvI/AAAAAAAAARE/xN17Qa64aeA/s400/P1013628.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5393296861069009650" /></a><br /><br /><strong>Uncle Skip played Santa this year!

Zak having a ball!</strong><br /><br />Madison jumped out of bed at 6am and ran downstairs to see if Santa came! The first thing she noticed was the cookies and milk gone! Then, her eyes were so wide when she saw the presents under the tree! Sadly, Bella woke up very sick. We knew something was wrong because she wouldn't get out of bed. Poor thing, she got the stomach flu and threw-up a few times. Of all days!!!! She was a trooper and opened up a few presents. After her stomach was empty, we gave her medicine from the doctor that helps nausea and went to Nana and Granpa's house. She felt so much better but we made her wear a little mask so she didn't get anyone else sick. My poor Bellz!<br /><br />It was such a nice Christmas!

We had them vote all week for things that affect them (dinner choices, dessert choices...tv choices....) I don't know if it really worked out since they are so opposite. One night I had to make two different meals. Carlos had to be the tie-breaker vote (saimin) on another night.Summerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02430822120093317601noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6368105757355468357.post-34953076737448263112008-10-31T12:02:00.000-07:002009-10-19T10:18:44.902-07:00Our 3rd Annual Halloween Party<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_NY7MeqJI-Fo/StjHfFx-TJI/AAAAAAAAAO8/sGfJfwaGix8/s1600-h/my+kid%27s+halloween+costume.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_NY7MeqJI-Fo/StjHfFx-TJI/AAAAAAAAAO8/sGfJfwaGix8/s400/my+kid%27s+halloween+costume.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5393279890717822098" /></a><br /><br />Madison (witch), Bella (Southern Belle), and Zak (Kung Fu Panda) <br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_NY7MeqJI-Fo/StjHNpR7JuI/AAAAAAAAAO0/SdgnVOOyek8/s1600-h/Halloween+2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_NY7MeqJI-Fo/StjHNpR7JuI/AAAAAAAAAO0/SdgnVOOyek8/s400/Halloween+2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5393279591009429218" /></a><br /><br />Carlos got crazy and built a Haunted House(yes construction!)

She is such a sensitive, sweet girl with the most amazing memory. We celebrated her birthday with a big pool party at the house. It was a crazy weekend because we had her soccer friends come over on Friday to swim, and then on Saturday, nearly 24 kids were swimming or running around the house! Needless to say, she was exhausted! But she had a wonderful weekend!<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_NY7MeqJI-Fo/SUu9ocCrpfI/AAAAAAAAANE/OWM8e7355Lw/s1600-h/maddie+pool"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_NY7MeqJI-Fo/SUu9ocCrpfI/AAAAAAAAANE/OWM8e7355Lw/s400/maddie+pool" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5281523490441897458" /></a><br /><br />A LOT OF KIDS...<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_NY7MeqJI-Fo/SUu9ojICiRI/AAAAAAAAANM/L3QW44OJt5U/s1600-h/maddie+blowing+out+candles"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_NY7MeqJI-Fo/SUu9ojICiRI/AAAAAAAAANM/L3QW44OJt5U/s400/maddie+blowing+out+candles" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5281523492343417106" /></a><br /><br />GETTING A LITTLE HELP FROM BELLASummerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02430822120093317601noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6368105757355468357.post-57610533023675605062008-09-05T07:02:00.000-07:002008-12-19T07:15:11.504-08:00Labor Day Weekend<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_NY7MeqJI-Fo/SUu4ODCGifI/AAAAAAAAAMk/IWr1LOsxwMc/s1600-h/zak+beach"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_NY7MeqJI-Fo/SUu4ODCGifI/AAAAAAAAAMk/IWr1LOsxwMc/s400/zak+beach" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5281517539493841394" /></a><br /><br />"YUM, SAND IS GOOOOD!"<br /><br />We had a great 4 day vacation and stayed in Waikiki at The Hilton Hawaiian Villages!

She scored the first goal of the game for us when the other team was up (2-0)! Then, we ended up winning 4-3! Autumn, Bert, and Carter came to watch the game and everyone said it was SO EXCITING! We were shocked that the girls at this age actually had strategy and were playing like a real team! ha! I guess I thought they'd be just tossing the ball around and MAYBE heading toward the goal! It was funny though, our team made 2 goals for the other team! We had so much fun and we were a rowdy group. Carlos is the Assistant Coach and I'm the Team Mom (don't know how I got appointed this!) Oh-by the way, the other team we were playing had Raena Santos' daughter on the team (RaeAnn!)
