Firefighter Birthday Party!

Ok, we continue to be behind the times with our posting. Let's catch up a little... On "Super Bowl" Sunday we went to a birthday party for Daddy's friend's nephew. It was a firefighter birthday party!

We got to go to a fire station with a lot of really nice firefighters. One of them even went to Daddy's high school...


I got to wear firefighter clothes


Daddy's wondering when he's going to get to try them on


Then it was time for fighting fires!


And watering the plants...


Aki wanted mama to help her


There's enough space for a pumper and a ladder truck!

After the fire station, we went back to my friend's house for cake.


I was ready.


Let me put on my fireman helmet before I eat the cake


Sometimes you have to plan the best way to open presents


We're going to the fire in our fire truck. It is a very wide front seat.


Aki was pleased.

All in all, it was a wonderful party. And I didn't miss any of the Super Bowl either! Thanks firefighters from Moanalua!

Carnival!

A little while ago we went to something called a carnival at Uncle JT's old school. Owen was really excited about it and said that he wanted to go to that school when he grows up. Daddy didn't like that idea so much, but Owen thought that was funny so of course he wouldn't change his mind.

Anyway, so here's what Owen looked like when we got to the carnival.


He slept through the whole thing!


It's ok. I got to go on all the rides. That is, I went on this one and I didn't like it so this is the only ride we went on.


This was more my speed


After all my hard work, this is what I got! Where are that yellow ball and the pink frog now anyway? Owen just woke up in this picture, so he's not seeing what he's going to look like in 10 years off to the side there...


We got to eat Hawaiian food and watch the teachers' band. Owen really enjoyed that one. I liked it too because I got to dance with daddy.

I had a lot of fun at the carnival. But we have to work on this "Punahou" thing of Owen's...

Hanging around the House

Now that mommy and daddy both have "jobs", we've been spending more of our weekends at home, hanging out.

Here's one new thing we've been doing at home. Aki and I have tea parties.


Aki spilling the cream


Feeding Cailin. What is Cailin eating with the spoon? Maybe sugar? Maybe sriracha?


Froggy sometimes keeps us company

We've also been having fun playing with the blocks that our cousins gave us.


Building my sculpture


Sometimes we make tall towers


But what goes up, must come down


Daddy, don't be sad!

We also are still having fun playing with our trains.


Well, mommy made this one


First you pass through London


Then stop at the crossing


Then New York City

Home time is fun! We do still go out though. Next time I'll write about some going out things we've been doing.
