a little bit of christmas

My computer is hardly working so here are just a few pictures of Christmas. We had a wonderful one surrounded by our family. One of my new years resolutions is to blog regularily, since I've been a huge slacker! So if i don't post anything else I will for sure be back next year!

gone fishin

Zach and Jonah have been  fishing together a lot lately. I only went once and decided it's just not for me. Emma wasn't loving it either. She was forced in the stroller otherwise she really would have jumped in the lake.

It was hot and miserable. It's cooled down though, so maybe I should give it another chance?

It's so funny to me that my husband will break a live worm in half and skewer it through a hook with his bare hands but yet he wont touch the fish without gloves. I guess  if it were me I wouldn't do any of it! I am not a fish person.

When I said smile Jonah said "buzz whiteyear to the resdue!"  

hooray for father & son activities! I'm glad they have so much fun together!

buzz whiteyear dake!

Jonah's wish came true Monday evening! He has been asking for a "buzz whiteyear dake" ever since he saw one at the grocery store's bakery months ago. (i try to avoid that section when we go shopping now) I didn't have time to make a cake and I just happened to find this buzz ribbon and a perfectly matching cake at the store!

Every one had a blue mouth.

Emma thought all the attention was for her.

                                                              Lots of great presents

Preschool + Birthday

We got to attend the little party preschool threw for Jonah's birthday. He was  so e n t h u s i a s t i c about it. 

I mean come on! Check out that smile glued to his face! This is what he has been waiting for all year...

 

It was fun for Zach and I to see him in preschool. He really loves it.

baby Joshua

Congratulations to Kaci and Salesi! They had a beautiful baby boy this morning. Lucky day of 10-10-10!

                                       Robert Crow Uipi (named after our (6th) great grandfather? 

Joshua Lonati Uipi

6 pounds 13 ounces 

19 inches long

he is such a cutie. But the poor little guy inhaled meconium and is in the NICU being treated for pnemonia probably for another week or two. Pray for the little guy. His mommy and daddy want to take him home soon!

it broke my heart mostly because the poor guy isn't allowed to eat! They are nourishing him through an iv. I'd be hungry! But I guess since he is breathing so fast they don't want to risk him inhaling anything else.

Check out my handsome nephew. 

Lots of dark dark hair. 

These are the only pictures I could take. Every time the camera clicked he started to fuss.

School already?

I don't think so Missy!!

But your mommy is a big nerd who makes you do these things while your brother takes a nap!

You don't mind. Good thing your teeth still aren't in. (And you're almost a year!)

wow. 11 months. You are so much fun! And you sure blabber a lot! I love it.

three

Today my little boy turned three!I can't believe it. Jonah you used to be my chubby baby boy, and now you're three and going to preschool!?

Celebrating his 1st birthday

 Jonah,

Time flies. We are so blessed to have you in our family. I still remember wondering if you would be okay as I was rushed to the operating room in labor. It was one of the happiest moments when I head you cry. You are such a tough boy and have been through a lot in thefirst three years of your life. 

 

I guess we shouldn't be surprised at how head strong you are now.

You really can do anything.

I thought today how lucky we are that you were our first, because I had no idea that it was abnormal to have such a sick baby all the time. You are a blessing Jonah. You have the softest heart and so much love for every one you come in contact with. It worries me a little because you are too trusting sometimes ;)

It's bitter sweet to watch you grow, but I can't wait to see how you change and progress. I know you are going to do great things!

I love you buddy. -Mommy

Ok, I promise no more mushy letters.. but this is a long post! I guess I am making up for my lack of it lately. 

We aren't going to celebrate his birthday till this weekend when family is all in town, but here are some pics of going to the park today. Jonah was lucky enough to have beautiful weather on his b-day!

I love that she is walking!!!!!! And look at those kankles! (but boy what a pain it is to keep her from eating sand )

and there you have it. The looongest post ever. I sure love my kiddos.

Kaci's baby shower

I threw kaci a baby shower Last Friday. It was a lot of work and a lot of fun! (I had to haul every thing over an hour drive to Mesa) I think everyone had a good time and she got some really nice gifts!!

                                                                   Now on to the decor..

                                               I knew Kaci would love a picture of herself up! ha ha 

                          My hands were green for a day from stripping leaves off my backyard branches. You'd    wonder why i was ripping off perfectly good ones only to glue fake ones back on!

 We ate those left overs too fast!!! mmm...

Kaci wont know what she's having till birth,and I totally think it's a girl! I Can't wait!!! Emma needs a little  cousin to play with.
