Happy 11th Birthday...Christian

We're gonna party likes it's "1999"`Prince

Iohani "Christian" my '99 baby
Today my middle boy was born 11 years ago...i can't believe it...my boys are all growing up so fast...i still remember the day he was born he was the only baby born on that day in that particular hospital in Duarte, California .... The nurses called him "King for a day" so it was nice... the next baby born was coming in the next day as we left...perfect timing...

he looks like Jasper right here (one of salena's boys) i think so if you don't sorry ;0)
When he was about 6 or 7 months we were in Salt lake Utah like we usualy always are during July and Mary just happened to be on her mission at Temple Square so she got to see Christian before she got home ;o)




here are some fun facts about him...
He has played the guitar since he could hold one his dad started teaching him around 7ish more 8 years old...he has become really good and still learning....

he's also developed a love for piano/keyboard...and loves to teach himself songs by ear or from his dad...when he has time...
his love of music started right here when he used to bang on these drums for hours ...

he was such a beautiful baby boy and now has grown into a "handsome boy"

He's a smart boy that goofs around too much at school ...hopefully he won't give his teacher a headache this year...LOL..
he eats too many taki's ( flaming hot tortilla chips )

he is a joy to be around when he's in a good mood...and the opposite when not...LOL i think he hit teenage attitude before the teen part in age.....he always "Knows"
he asks me question's yet he already knows the answers...go figure... ;0)
he makes friends easy and makes his brothers and cousin's laugh...loves LOVES loves to be around his cousin's Fa's and Wolfgramm's...


He can be mom's little angel one day ... and my little devil the next... he loves to be doing what i'm doing but he is a Capricorn...and all of know Capricorn's are basically the BEST..J/k... well i just want him to know i LOVE him so much .... and am so happy to have him in my LIFE ... i LOVE YOU ...iohani...CHRISTIAN or whatever you may be called...you will always be my sweet/naughty little bOy....love MOM

*To Believe or "NOT" BELIEVE?*

Well this year has been all about "MOM is there really a SANTA?" and i know many of you out there have your own ways and beliefs about what you tell your kids about Santa if he's real or not...We've always stressesd the story of Jesus ... and that is what Christmas is really about ...but for fun we add the Santa tradition ... So of course i loved the feeling of Santa and wanted my own kids to feel the magic i did ... i know my oldest son ... never question's for fear of not getting gifts under the tree ... on the other hand those of you who know my middle son well they know how it is.. this is the first year he really knows what's going on.. but wants me to come out and tell him straight i halfway kinda did..but i still want him to feel the fun and magic of christmas too...and this year i told him it's not about Santa it's about the Spirit of it all ... how you feel when you give and how it makes others feel ... My youngest boy...loves to Believe still this was the year he asked me for the first time if Santa was really REAL and i hate to lie to my kids but at the same time i hate to see the sparkle and the magic dissapper so i asked him what do you think and he said he's Real...and i told him isn't it fun to believe in Santa and he SMILED and said YES...so maybe i did the wrong thing by not being totally truthful with him but who to say i'm lying when i believe in Santa myself...LOL... "I BELIEVE".... anyways it's hard when kids grow up .. as much as we want them to hold on to being young and naive and "BELIEVE" in Santa... i don't think it will ever erase the feeling that we get at this time of year... but i would like my kids to hold on to it for just one or two more years ...it makes life a little more interesting then just the boring facts of life....we have 23 other months in a year to worry about that ... i'm just greatful i'm ALIVE and to have such a wonderful little family...and friends love all you guys and hope your christmas is full of Love...and JOY...and the True Spirit of Christmas... Merry Christmas...

WHO U GONNA CALL?

This halloween was all about "Ghostbusters" my boys have been wanting to be ghostbusters this whole year...and same with Wesley and Bastien it was so fun to see everyone's cool "Proton Packs" i had to make 3 of them... BOY!! was that "not fun" i guess that's what i get for having 3 of them right in a row...LOL they are bound to all like the same thing.. although was fun to see their faces as they wore their costumes this definitely was a "GHOSTBUSTING" Halloween...neXt year they are on their own...lol..

This is Evan's Proton Pack....

Halloween time at Disney!!!

Well this is what we did for fall break ... it was raining but apparently when i rains it is the best time to be at Disney not because of the weather but the wait time in the lines was "AMAZINGLY" fast...loved it ..didn't mind the rain it didn't really pour just sprinkled heavily...the kids had so much fun ... we went with my husband's brothers and some of his kids...i think i wanna do it again next year..around this time ... it beats the summer crowd...
