This is my mom playing house with Kya, just like she did with her dolls, lol. She had to dress her up in a bonnet and take her on a walk in a stroller---I am sure she wishes it would have been a buggy. She is so cute and I love that she loves to take pics. She is so wonderful. I love her so much.
Look how sweet she is, it almost looks like she is one of those 1800's babies, if there is even such a "look"
Gorgeous eyes and perfect face!
Thanks mom for taking the cute pics!
I absolutely love sweet Kya's eyelashes, they are so heart melting!
I love her eyes. They are beautiful. She has been so fun to take pics of. This is me trying to mess with the color and contrast. It is so hard but fun to do. I love her blue eyes, I hope they are as electric as Aja's.
What a special peace she has brought into our home. You would think chaos adding another child to the mix, but no, she has brought a love that I never knew I could feel. I have been able to see the compassion and caring in all the other kids. This is such a beautiful sight, to see your children want the best for someone besides themselves. They love her, they truly love her. They hurt when she hurts, they laugh when she laughs, they cry when she cries, and they melt at her every new experience. I am so blessed to have this sweet baby teach me true joy, "men are that they might have joy!" I do. 
Kevin's niece Ari'Elle had her babe yesterday. He weighed 7lbs 11 oz and 19 inches long. We got to go and see him and hold him today. What a cutie. He has a lot of light brown hair and was VERY sleepy.
Kya was excited to see him. She is 5 months older than him and yet they are not too different in size. She is growing and this picture proved to to me. She smiled at the sight of him. They are going to be best buds. Ari'Elle is doing well and Weston is already the paranoid Dad, lol. Cute Cute.
This is the poster I made for Kee to run for 5th grade senator. He came home on Thursday and told me he wanted to run and that the voting was the NEXT DAY! Ahhhh. I freaked out. My mom was on the phone and heard my panic. She did not feel good that day, but put that aside and came over to help. It was so nice because she held our little spoiled Kya the whole time! I went in the scrapbook room and me, my mom and Kee brainstormed into this as his slogan....."Your Key to Open Doors" I was pretty proud, given the time frame. The poster turned out great and I love my Cricut! When he got to school they had an assembly and it was there that Kee was told he had to give a speech. He totally winged it and did a little dance at the end. The students loved it and he WON! 
So he is in a Presidency for the whole school totalling 6 people. He came home saying he gets to plan dances and help to demolish bullying. I am so proud of him. Words cannot express. I love him so much and he says he wants to be just like his Mama! I loved student government my entire life. Being involved was the greatest feeling. Making a difference and feeling pride in my school. I took that with me to the U of U and was in their orientation team for ALL new students. Once in nursing school I decided to become Student Nursing Alliance President. That was a full time job in itself, not to mention school and 4 little kids. I think this is where the importance of education and being involved was taught to my kids. I hope they know these things are so important to me. I feel like some of the parenting we are doing is paying off. Love Kee so much!
Her eyes are so amazing they POP in very picture.
Her hair is coming in so thick.
She always needs her binky nearby.
BFF's. They were so cute.
This was right before school. What a cutie.
Her cute sunglasses.
As soon as she got there her and Julia met up and hugged. Cute.
This is her cute teacher Miss Emily.
Mommy's big girl.
Daddy's girl.
Just chillin'
So my grandma has a club of sorts that she belongs to. SWORDS stands for single, widowed, OR divorced. It is a group of ladies that range from 72 to 92. My mom decided to have a dinner for them all. It was so fun to see my grandma's friends. I loved helping cook the meal. It reminded me of my waitressing days.
My dad made homemade pasta noodles and they were delish! My mom made her famous monkey bread, mmmmmm!
She did not love it. But we tried.
This is her scared to death right before I give it to her. Noooooo!
Cheerful when she knows we are all done! No it really was not that bad, but she did not love it so maybe we shall mix it with baby juice next time.
Look at those eyelashes! 
They were so excited! They had their new lunch boxes and backpacks. I was so happy that they were so happy. It made it so much more exciting for all of us. When we picked them up they were all chatter boxes about what they did at school. They each have at least 1 or 2 friends that they already know at the new school. It made their day even better!
Kee'Onu always gets mad when we have to take pictures, so here is his "are you happy now?" pose. It was the best of 5. Kee'Onu is so happy to be in 5th grade. He found out that he even gets his own locker! I told him that I never got a locker until I was in 7th grade. What a great thing for him... I did miss his big help around the house. He is always the one we pick on to help with everything we do. I guess he can have a break while he is in school but just this once!
Beautiful Ipo. She picked out her own outfit all the way down to her shoes. She loves her own style and I even let her run with it. She is so cheerful and positive and spirited. We all love her, I have to say that I did miss all her big help throughout the day with Ka'Lya. I did not realize how much I rely on her to help with the babe. She got in the car after school and had to see Kya because she missed her so much. 
I love this cute pic. Her dress is so sweet, I got it from a hispanic woman at the fair. She handmade it. It fits Kya perfect
I love her Jowls in this!
Our Little Flapper.
Chubbers! 
Sweet dream!
