The Little Rascals

My boys were introduced to "The Little Rascals" the other day by their Aunty Kashia. To say the least, my boys LOVED it! It's probably because they could relate to those naughty little boys! My little Rylan especially loved the movie and took a liking to Alfalfa.

For the past couple of weeks, Fi Dan has been coming home and telling me that Rylan has been pretty sweet to some of the girls in classroom. And every time I ask him about it he just smiles and doesn't say anything. But sometimes I'll over hear him talking to his daddy. "Daddy, I saw a girl the other day. I was checking her out." WHAT?! Lol, anyway, when he watched The Little Rascals and saw Alfalfa serenading Darla, he was beaming from ear to ear. I knew what he was thinking, and then he said it out loud, "I'm Alfalfa". Here is a video of him singing like Alfalfa. He didn't know I was taping him!

Christmas was also a blast this year! I think just being around family makes a huge difference!

To Dominica and Back Again in 5 days

 
When Fi Dan and I decided that the boys and I were coming back for good, I secretly bought a flight back to Dominica and sneaky me bought the same flight back with Fi Dan. He had no clue that I had done it. And I was seriously going to keep it a secret. BUT, I forgot to sign out of his computer and he found out. :( None the less, it was great to fly and go see my hubby and spend a few days with him. It was GREAT!!!!

Thanksgiving 2014

 This Thanksgiving was so much fun! My sister, Kalu, and her little family came and spent the week here in Sacramento. So much fun!
 
But we started off with Elf on the Shelf coming to stay with us!
 
 
Image
Here is Nenji and Rylan opening the mail with a letter from Santa, arriving "Pip the Elf"'s arrival.
Image
A few nights later, Kalu and her family were here and we put up our Christmas tree!
Kashia and Makoto took charge and did a majority of the work.

Image

Image
 
 
That sneaky Pip! How did he get on the tree?

Image

Image

Image
My baby Spencer being SO helpful!

Image
Rylan sitting next to Pip...and trying really hard not to touch him.

Image

Image
Pip was flying all over the place and the kiddos freaked out every time they turned and saw him. Lol. So much fun. I even scared Kalu a few times.

Image

Image

Image
Sending Uncle Ben and Aunty Marilyn a message.

Image
Oh my goodness, these rolls were SOOOO yummy, made by yours truly.

Image
I am so happy here because it took her 2-3 days to even look at me. I was the first one she came to!
I love her. She's such a doll!
