Happy Birthday Kawehena!!

Tomorrow Kawehena will be 6 years old! So in her honor, I would like to post a few iamges and clips of her slip'n'slidin' at Laupahoehoe. An expert at the knee-slide, she is still perfecting her technique on the tummy-slide. Just watch out for her next year!

Keola

Keola, much like his mommy :), seems to get easily excited over things. Its too funny.

And we're back!

My apologies for the absence; I've had so much content on the kiddies, it became overwhelming. Now that most of it is posted at our Shutterfly site, I can focus on posting excerpts, like these. Hope you enjoy them!

Here we have a clip of Uncle Dave preparing La'akolu for Disneyland. I think he likes it!

Laakolu's first game!

Appropriately played in Macys. :)

Emperor Keola Goes for Broke

The beginnings of a thumb-thucker.

Uncle Dave loves kids

They make great puppets.

Don't say I didn't warn you

Ready Daddy?

A Maeda Moment

Keola had no idea what was in store when his mom placed on the green rocking chair--next to HER stuffed animals--and started jumping around the room, SCREAMING at him to smile. Aunty Onaona and Aunty Hiinae were behaving just as strangely, and Aunty Hiinae had a weird block box strapped to her face. In all honesty, he didn't really mind the commotion, but the excitement wore off quickly and he decided it was much more important to tell his mom about his busy day of cruising in his crib. After a while, Dad joined the group, so he told him about how bizarre mommy and his aunties were acting, and how excited he was for his bath later that afternoon. Little did Keola know that this was the first of many, many photoshoots, one of which may eventually involve a bee costume.

MOMS

Here are the two young mothers showing off their trophies.

Anuhea's is trying to fly.

Are you my mommy?

Or more importantly, are you my food? La'akolu will gladly try to eat anything that comes near his mouth. Even his sister.

Emperor Keolapono

Every afternoon, promptly at 4pm, Emperor Keolapono gets his daily bath on the kitchen counter. This is an event he relishes--and thoroughly believes he deserves--after a long day of ruling his crib. Its not easy being this cute.

Threece!

PaniLoLos have a naturally tendency to make up words, usually unintentionally. Here Kawehena shows us how its done with style. Bonus points for creating a corresponding hand motion.
