Since I didn't have work today, I was able to spend more time with my lil DollGirl. And I know that my sister has been really exhausted lately so I wanted to help her out...and I love spending time with my lil DollGirl.
Well, this little princess woke me up this morning and as always, she loves to play with my iPad...and so this time we were making faces and just having fun waiting for my sister to wake up. :)
I can never get tired of this beautiful cupcake. I love her so much. She is currently taking her morning nap. My sister claims that she is probably going to sleep for a long time since when I come home, she plays A LOT and is so active that when she takes a nap she really does knock out.
She is such as smart lil one and I am so glad that I am in her life.
Yay! They are back...and they even brought back someone who I missed a lot! They brought Ginger back with them! :) My sister and her family are back...I am reunited with my DollGirl!
As I am typing this, Ginger is looking at me, wanting to come up on the couch and snuggle next to me...but my sister said that she isn't allowed on the couch. Wait.
Oh okay, I just moved to the ground and now she is next to me. I missed having a dog in my life. Don't get me wrong, I still love Ciccio so much...but now there are two of them...and they have each other. :) I was so excited to see my family again.
DollGirl doesn't use "regular" blocks...NOPE she uses daddy's soda pop cans! I love how Ginger is good with DollGirl. She is pretty patient with her...so that's good. DollGirl is at that stage where she pokes everything, so we are trying to teach her to not poke Ginger...or take things from her when she is eating. But they get along really well together. :)
Oh, this girl, how I miss her. I think that she will have super long hair like me. Look at her...she was born with a LOT of hair...and it just keeps growing and growing! Looks pretty straight too. She loves playing with my hair...
...and she loves playing with Ginger. At the moment...I am content. :)

Today was fun. It's been awhile since we been to the beach...and today we went to Manana Beach...and sucks so bad that I didn't get a picture because the water was beautiful! I was too busy playing in the water...oh how I love that water! :) I wonder what it would be like if I really were a mermaid! I guess I'll never know! But I can always imagine!
Well, this is the last weekend that I'll see my sister and her family for awhile. Even Tracy and Kaleo...and so I'm trying to make the most of it. It's good that we went to the beach today because I'm not sure that they will be able to get to the beach in California...but I know that Tracy and Kaleo will be able to go to the beach in Japan...Kaleo has to swim in his Strong Man race after all!
Yesterday night, Tracy threw a small birthday dinner for my sister since we all won't be together for her birthday. I love when Tracy cooks...she is an amazing cook! She made her tostado's...YUMMY! I don't think that I spelled that right! But trust me, it was yummy. *laughs* Jeremy and Amanda also came over...so it was good to have all of us together. I hope we have more Friday night dinners... I miss those.
Every morning that I am here...this little DollGirl loves to look at my itouch! After giving me her "two toys"...she goes for my itouch...I have to sleep with sound...and so I have an app for a sound machine on it...so she is mesmerized by it, I guess. :)
Then we snuggle together and make faces. Exactly like this every morning that I sleep here. I can get used to this. Sometimes I just want to sleep in during my weekends...but she changes my mind every time. How can you have a bad day after this?!
So, today before we went to the beach was a bit chilly so my sister asked me to dress DollGirl up. She usually runs around the house in only her diaper...and sometimes some "bibidies"...(underwear)...and if I know that we won't go anywhere for awhile, I let her choose what to wear...look what she chose!! She is SOOO silly! Those are long socks that she wanted to wear! *laughs*
AND she is stepping on my water bottle! *laughs*
Today was a fun day. I can't wait until we can do a day like this again. Life is ALWAYS better at the beach! *laughs*

My sister decided that all of us are going to get together and watch a movie. I am counting and dreading the day when my sister takes off with her family to go visit the mainland for a two weeks...it's going to be the longest I'll go without seeing my DollGirl, and I am NOT looking forward to that. But it's not until next month...but I have one more week with my DollGirl, so my sister saying that she wants a movie night with the fambam, I wasn't going to turn down. Plus, I love my family time.
Not only that, but I know that Tracy and her husband Kaleo will be on their way to Japan because Kaleo will be participating in STRONG MAN! I know that he has worked hard on training...so I wish him luck...so we all will be apart for the month of April...so it's good that we will be having this movie night.
I think that the movie that we decided to watch was Frozen. I can't believe that I haven't seen it yet, however, I feel as if I already know all about it! Right now I am taking the time to quickly write this blog post before the movie starts. I think my sister is at Tracy's house right now...the boys don't want to watch Frozen, so they are over there trying to figure out a movie to watch. I was doing some homework for a little bit...and when they come back we'll start our movie night. :)
I'm going to miss waking up to this lil DollGirl! I know that I don't always wake up to her...but then I do try to come over on the weekends...and she is my lil alarm clock...her hair is growing SOOO long! Ahhh!
"Where's your face, DollGirl...?! Oh there you are!" I can not tell you enough how much this lil munchkin has my heart!
Oh! I can hear them coming back now! So quickly now...look at the awesome popcorn maker that my brother bought for my sister! I love it! I hope we get to use it more....more movie nights for sure! *laughs* Well...I'm off to watch Frozen! Yay for family time!
Yay! Today was a success! And I am only bummed that I was unable to take any pictures! The other teachers were able to take the pictures...so hopefully I'll be able to grab them from them in the future! :) The kids had a blast during out bubble party time. We had it with the whole school and we had a lot of fun dancing and just singing in the bubbles that were surrounding us! The bubble machines were amazing...and having two of them was like a bubble ocean! Seriously...the kids loved it, I loved it...we all had fun!
The party was a success as well! I thought that I wasn't going to make it because it was all chaoticness since the schedule for my keikis was off...but it went well...they had a blast making their own pizzas and smoothies! And we all shared our valentines with each other! I love my keikis...and I can never say it enough...I love working with them. :)
I did want to share what Lil' Tristan made for us teachers! He isn't in my class any longer...but he made a bunch of these to give out to the teachers...and I absolutely adored it! Aren't they just the cutest ever!!!
I just put my lil DollGirl down to sleep. And I am just chilling like a villian on my sister's couch waiting for them to come home. :) I left the house before being able to give Amanda and my brother their Valentine so I just left it on the island in the kitchen upstairs at my house for them to see it before they went on their Broadway date. But I was able to give my sister's and Kuya Neal's their valentine...and they really liked it. I am so blessed to have an amazing family. I love them so much!
DollGirl was a bit fussy tonight...and super clingy...so I got to cuddle with her and read her books galore. I'm happy that she loves books...just like her mama! (And Aunty AND Uncle...UNLIKE her daddy though! He does NOT like to read! *laughs*)...Tracy was over for a bit just to talk story before going to sleep herself. She cooked up a Greek dinner for her hubby and herself and she cooks amazing! But she dropped by to give me this bowl of goodies, which I am currently consuming as I write this post. :)
Happy Valentines Day all...I hope everyone had a day full of love! :)

When was the last time that I had a sleepover...shoots!! I don't know...but guess what?! My friend is sleeping over tonight. We have a lot to catch up on. She works with me....but she turned out to be a good friend. And you know what? I'm glad that I have met her.
Everywhere that I have gone in this world, I have made some great friends...it just sucks so bad though because I am a wanderer...I have a hard time staying in one place for a lot period of time. So far I have lived her for about 3 years and 4 months...and I have only moved once since moving here...so that is good. But I can already feel my soul getting anxious....but of all place in a long time, this place is starting to feel like this can be home. Will I be here in the next 5 years?! I don't know...but I do know that the people that I have met here have become my family...or as they say here my hanai...and I am so glad that I moved here.
Duke. He came to school today and it was the first time that I saw him since it came out that his dad died for our country. Seeing him just brought tears to my eyes. I talked to his grandmother on the hone yesterday...and that in itself was hard...but seeing little Duke it was hard seeing the pain in his eyes.... Sometimes...well, a lot of times life can be unfair. He is only 5 years old...and he lost his dad. I can only imagine how hard it is to comprehend that his dad isn't going to come back. And to know that he will be having a baby sister soon...my heart goes out to him, Mekena (mom), and (unborn) baby sister. They are in my prayers. No one should have to go through that...losing a parent at such a young age. No one should have to go through that...losing your husband. No one should have to go through that...losing a dad you will never get to know in person. I hope she grows up knowing that her dad was a hero. Oh okay, I need to change the subject now...because all this talk is bringing tears to my eyes.
So my friend Jessica has introduced me to this song that I am currently loving! I have it on repeat at the moment. It's called Rude by MAGIC! Here check it out!
It's such a sad, but happy song. I love the chorus: "Why do you gotta be so rude, don't you know that I'm human to!" That is so right. What makes another human thinks they are more superior than another human. When it comes down to it...we are all human. No one, no rule, no anything gives another person the right to treat another person unfairly with judgement.
For crying out loud, it's your loss if you want to be close-minded.
