Jackie is into self portraits. Thought you would think this was funny. She's pretty technologically smart. She's not afraid to "play" with my phone, the computer, the camera, the T.V. She's always having to teach the others how to use things.



Jackie is playing soccer this season and loves it! She says it is more fun than gymnastics. It's a better way to get out her aggression than taking it out on her brother and sisters. Her team colors are purple and black. I have yet to remember the camera to take pictures. Jacob loves to practice with them on Wednesday nights and can't wait until he's old enough to play. He was the first one to try on Jackie's uniform





Megan and Anja have had two meets so far this season. They both are working hard to improve their skills. Lucky for me, a friend watched Jackie and Jacob during the meet on Sunday. We were there from 9a.m. until 5p.m. Those two would never have survived that day. The girls have this weekend off and will compete next weekend at our gym's sponsored meet, The Princess Classic.


Jacob got a new bike and asks to go riding every day. Bummer for both of us that we have to pack the bikes in the van and head to a park somewhere because the hill we live on is too steep to ride your bike on. He loves riding without his training wheels but still needs some help getting started. He's also swimming by himself now. My baby is growing up!

Fun with Meemaw

Jacob learned to ride his bike without training wheels with Meemaw's help. He could have learned before he turned 4 but I was too lazy to take off his training wheels. He really wanted to try so I gave in and off he flew. He didn't need any help except a little push for takeoff.



This is a picture of the kids with Meemaw on our hike up Diamond Head. The view was amazing. We could see Maui, Lanaii, and Molokai. A guide that was up there said that it was a rare treat.

Jacob's birthday

We celebrated Jacob's birthday at none other than "Gymnastics!" Why not spend 7 days a week at the gym instead of our usual 6. The only boy Jacob invited was the coaches son. Poor Jacob. He's always surrounded by girls. For some reason all the family friends we've made have only daughters. This may come in handy when Jacob gets older. Right now, it's just more girls to boss him around.
