Are you feelin this?! I love it

Rendezvous at LAX

Any opportunity to get together with our good friends is one we have to take advantage of! My friend Jenna (I miss her so much) and little Maddox (I also miss him, isn't he such a cutie!) had a layover in LAX so Lana, Jared and I picked them up and tried to make the most of the short time we had to spend together. Lana and Maddox are so funny to watch as they are so close in age that they enjoy doing a lot of the same things. It was also nice to have them pick on each other equally and we even caught them kissing. Well, caught Lana kissing Maddox. hehe. Have fun in the islands...we miss you guys!

Jared

This past month Jared has really been growing fast. So...he's gonna be 5 months and he weighs 21 lbs. Yep...that's right. He's starting to scoot around a little now (backwards) and has found himself in some tight situations: under the Christmas tree with the presents and halfway under the couch. He's such a sweet boy and loves to laugh, smile and lights up when Lana is around. He is still our little spitter and loves to poop out his diaper on a regular basis, but we just can't get enough of our little man.

This cheers me up

Our Hula Princess

Well, I have such a cool sister! Mat's little sister, U'i, came to visit us for Thanksgiving and it was such a treat for all of us. We really really really miss the islands and it was nice for her to come and bring some of that aloha that she's so good at spreading around. As you can see, she's beautiful inside and out, talented like you wouldn't believe, and we all really enjoyed her company. Bless her heart- she put up with my Thanksgiving cooking madness (way to go on those pumpkin pies!) and our pretty boring schedule. Luckily her friend lives close to us so she was able to do some fun things with them too. We really miss you U'i! Come visit us anytime. But hopefully we'll come visit you soon!

Giggles caught on Camera

Jared is such a sweet, happy baby but I can never catch his giggles and laughs on camera. I was lucky and caught a giggle on camera while Mat was playing with him. It's short...but sweet and better than nothing.

I'M SO BORING!

Lana: (really whining) I'M SO BORING!!!
Me: I think you mean "I'm so bored."
