My Cutie is 5 today!!

2009-10-29T00:55:00.000-07:00

Yes he's five and getting smarter by the day. He's not a real party and play party games kinda boy. So we had a day at the park where he ran around and had fun playing ball.
He is reading very well, he is of course learning a lot on computers as well.
He's a true anime fan. His favorite cartoons and toys are transformers, bakuguns, pokemons, Naruto figures, and Gormiti (which he got all of for his birthday.. hehe).
He's a good boy who is quiet and entertains himself. But he can also become a freak when he hears music. He has the strangest dance moves. Haha.
He's always happy and loooves to ask a million questions a day.
I'm so proud of him and this is a big year for him as he starts school this year. He is kinda nervous about that. All in all he is a real joy and Im so glad to have him. Happy Birthday Roo!

Looong time.

School Banquet.

2007-12-07T06:10:00.000-08:00

Kevin was so cute... he danced and escorted one of the teachers. But it was too far and dim lighting to get good pics of it. Oh well content yourselves with these.

Creature

2007-12-02T03:49:00.000-08:00

So the kids caught a bat. Not the first time. This one had a hurt wing so they caged it and fed it papaya... he was really feasting and seemed content.

And so this is Christmas........

2007-12-01T05:52:00.001-08:00

Christmas Baby

2007-12-01T05:42:00.000-08:00

Yay!! It's officially Christmas!!!
So I don't let the kids decorate the living room, but I set up a little tree in their room and they can decorate it how they want. And then I put lights all around the room and we are still working on decorations. They like to make them by hand. So yeah anyway this is the only tree in the house that the baby can touch. So he loves it. He always takes the stuff off and then attempts to put it back on.
Tonight I gave him his bottle for him to sleep and he was so cute he went and laid down on the floor right by the tree. So I gave him a pillow and just let him lay there. ADORABLE!!

Tis the season to be jolly!

2007-11-27T06:44:00.000-08:00

I'm sooooo excited about Christmas. I will be taking down the decorations from the attic tomorrow and going through them all and seeing what else I will be needing to add this year. Then I will start the prep for decorating the house, and when the kids wake up on Dec. 1st. I will have transformed it into the magical world of lights, snow (fake--- weeeeep), The baby in the manger, The Tree (Weeeep even harder for it's also a fake) Santa and his reindeer's, and lotsa yummy goodies.

Sleep in Heavenly Peace.

2007-11-26T04:30:00.000-08:00

And at night time I'm there too......... It's something like .....yeesh......... squish .........squirm......... sigh.... stomp stomp (That's me carrying my pillow while stomping off and going to sleep on the kids' bed)
How oh HOW do you get kids to stay in their own bed?????

TYPHOONS

2007-11-19T21:22:00.000-08:00

Typhoon = No electricity for a whole day and night!
Poor Baby, it was so hot he couldn't sleep and cried so much. and when there's no fan there MOSQUITOES!! Yikes!! Both him and Roo were itchy all night. But at least this is the first time its ever been off that long. Usually its just an hour or so.
Trees were knocked over and the electric wires were cut. Even the hug, metal framed Christmas tree in the center was of the town was knocked down.
But yeah its over and now it's just a mess to be cleaned up. Oh Joy!

Me and My Tiniest Love!

2007-11-15T04:27:00.000-08:00

Once again 97%!!!

2007-11-13T05:14:00.000-08:00

OK so I don't know what kind of perverted face I am making here, but Kev looks so cute so who cares about me. It's Kev's day anyway! He likes that 97% score. My big boy.... I'm so proud!

Choochie!

2007-11-08T17:05:00.001-08:00

SUCCESS!

2007-11-08T16:52:00.001-08:00

Roo actually can ride a bike now. I bought it for his birthday so he would get outta the house more. He's such a indoor computer boy. He is very into Hotwheels and Gold miner. He even plays against me and sometimes wins. For real. (I know I suck but c'mon, he's three years old.)
Haha anyway he like his bike so I'm happy cause that keeps him outdoors more.

Bubbles!

Sem Break

2007-11-01T17:37:00.001-07:00

Powered by GoodWidgets.com

So it was Sem break and there was no school for 10 days.... so we decided to take the kids to the beach for a couple days. It was lots of fun and the kids had a great time. Kevin starts school again on Monday. Anyway life is good.

It's all about Lisa.

2007-11-01T17:31:00.000-07:00

Lisa is so cool, she helps me with the kiddoes all the time, and she makes all the cakes for everyones birthdays. She's a good baker. There Lisa..... here's your special goodie bag. Nya ha ha!

Happy Birthday Rowan Li

2007-10-29T05:47:00.000-07:00

JONNY MADE THE CAKE... IT WAS SO COOL.
He got a lot of toys a bicycle and an iguana. He was happy!

little man in a big world.

2007-10-28T04:25:00.001-07:00

Another World.

2007-10-16T04:33:00.001-07:00

If you look closely at the picture of the two divers on the side you'll see that it's not just a big grey wall but in fact thousands of fish. They were so cool, the kind that all move in unison and so fast too.

Out and about!

2007-10-13T01:30:00.000-07:00

Kev on his new bike.

An awesome bird.

2007-10-11T00:06:00.001-07:00

I love my camera.

Happy Birthday Dad!

2007-10-10T20:56:00.000-07:00

Sorry I don't have a new pic. Have a GREAT day!

Awesome

2007-10-09T19:08:00.000-07:00

This site is excellent for teaching kids to read early. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to teach there kids to read before they hit school age.

Yay!!

2007-10-01T06:54:00.000-07:00

Finally I am online again. We have been having typhoons and so the connection was off for a while.
Anyway it has been an eventful week with two birthdays and all. This is the first time I have ever made cakes for my kids. I always buy them, but I just thought I'd try for fun..... I'm so bad at it. Sometimes I felt like throwing it out and just buying one but I was determined to try lol. the kids loved them. I just love their simplicity, I thought they looked like crap but the kids thought they were so cool so that made me happy. Anyways here's some pics from my kids Birthdays.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KEVIN!!!
I asked Kevin if he wanted a house party for his friends or a boat trip and of course he'd way rather do the outdoor thing.... so we had it on a boat (thanks Dad). Was fun! Kevin wanted an underwater cake.... I can't believe he's already 6. My big boy!!
And HAPPY FIRST BIRTHDAY TO MY BABY!!!
He couldn't figure out why everyone was singing happy birthday to him all day. He looked very puzzled. The kids chose the cake theme.

Just some pics

2007-09-22T01:45:00.001-07:00

Balloons

2007-09-22T01:44:00.001-07:00

Happy Birthday

2007-09-18T21:58:00.000-07:00

Happy Birthday to Gabe, Toby and his friend made him a cake cause the girls are off on another island visiting their friends. They had such a crazy time making it.... Rene (David's girlfriend) kinda saved it for them. Lol! It tasted quite good though.

Roo was the only one that stayed awake for Grandpa's birthday. Kevin and Jas go to bed like around 7:30-8:00, but Roo can stay up till we go to bed... and somehow he's still the first awake.

CROCOLANDIA!!

Went FISHING!! They caught alot of fish. Yay!!

The babies are getting bigger.

2007-09-04T07:17:00.000-07:00

The babies are getting so big........they are so cute. They love playing tug-of-war together with toys or snacks. Zorro is a little naughty and he loves chewing on things as you can see from teh skateboard. He also loves jumping up on people and licking them.... Jason loves it and just laughs, the other boys not so much. Hehe. Anyway here's the poochies.
Jas looks desparate to escape. Ha.

Rowan in the tree house

2007-09-04T03:50:00.000-07:00

Mark is so cool, he built a tree house for the boys. It looks really nice. Everyone says I'm lucky cause if we were ever stranded, my husband could build us a house. Hehe.

Poochie Loo

2007-08-31T06:11:00.001-07:00

All my boys have an obsession with basketball at this age. Heh.

Friday = PE day and then comes the blessed weekend.

2007-08-31T06:06:00.001-07:00

Kevin and one of his best friends at school. She's so cutie I think.

Lost tooth

2007-08-30T05:56:00.000-07:00

OMG!!! Mark actually tied dental floss to Kevin's tooth and then to a book and Kevin threw the book over the stair railing. I always heard about doing that but never thought someone really would. Haha I was actually nervous . Don't ask wut about cause I don't know. But then again both Mark and Kevin closed their eyes when they let go of the book. Heh....... fun.

Quarterly Honor Roll Tea Party

2007-08-23T19:04:00.000-07:00

Argh!

2007-08-21T21:55:00.000-07:00

It's strange how all little guys are into being pirates... Roo is no exception he always wants to be a pirate or the Black Rider.... he loves horses and horse movies. Hehe I taught him well.

Yay!

2007-08-20T22:51:00.000-07:00

I got the results from Kevin's first exam and he did so well 99%. I told him I'd take him out and let him get a computer game that he really wants if he did good. I'm so proud.

Here are some pics from yesterday at our friends

2007-08-20T07:27:00.000-07:00

2007-08-16T05:42:00.000-07:00

The boys all love Grandpa....... he does fun things with them. Even Jason, he always yells "Grandpa" when he passes and cries if he doesn't take him.

No Spear.... Just Dive

2007-08-12T20:36:00.001-07:00

The joys of a baby!

2007-08-12T05:14:00.000-07:00

So grandma made us some nice mango shake and brought it in cups on a plate and put in on the counter. At the time I was in the middle of changing the fan from a standing fan to one that goes on a desk since baby walks everywhere now. So while I'm in the middle of baby-proofing the room, he toddles over and pulls the plate down with all the cups and splash.......... eek.
But he was so excited and right away started playing in it...... so yeah here's the crazy baby.

Kevin

2007-08-10T21:56:00.000-07:00

They are having a study on international people and cultures and they all have to dress up. Kevin was assigned to be a Muslim. I had to come up with something so fast.I didn't have time to buy a costume so I had to make this by hand. Next week I will get him something better. But I still think he looks cute.

In Action.

2007-08-09T01:00:00.000-07:00

My boy and me.

2007-08-08T04:41:00.000-07:00

hehe

2007-08-04T20:27:00.000-07:00

Me: Roo, turn the fan on.
Roo: (After pushing buttons but nothing happens) Mom, the fan is not buckled. (Plugged In)

I love children's minds.

Off to School

2007-08-03T22:45:00.000-07:00

A friend has a motorcycle and Kev always wants to take it to school. But yeah its a good solution till we get our jeep. Hehe.... it's funner than a taxi.

Funny Roo

2007-08-02T05:07:00.000-07:00

Some funny things Roo says:

"Can I have a touching tomato?" (a whole tomato he can hold, not cut up)
" I want a high/standing egg." ( a boiled egg)
" Can you scratch my armpit leg?" (Behind his knee)
(After taking a sip of my coffee) "Aaah Mom, I'm so into coffee."
(While playing with playdough) " I'm such a playdough kind of guy".

And so many more silly things, but I'm too tired to remember them..... its really all day, non stop, silly stuff with him. He's so funny.
He's such a good actor as well. he pretends he's sleeping like in the pic and then even if you tickle him or pick him up and move him he won't budge. He just remains all serious and floppy with eyes closed. You can't even get him to smile. So poochy!

At the Park Saturday

2007-07-31T19:06:00.000-07:00

Took the kids to the park the other day, poor Kev was sick so he was very inactive.... but still the fresh air helped a bit.

For Kirsty

2007-07-31T19:03:00.000-07:00

Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

2007-07-29T23:06:00.001-07:00

Bye Thea!!!

2007-07-29T22:55:00.000-07:00

Thea left today back to Denmark...... so sad. She will be missed. I think she was sorta sad yet happy to go home and start work again. She has been touring the Philippines for months now. So much to see, and they got to see sharks which was her wish. Yay! Anyway it was so nice knowing you... see you next year when you come back to see the Rays.

Nutrition Day

2007-07-27T00:28:00.000-07:00

Kev's school had Nutrition Day today..... They all did performances. I didn't get any pics of Kev dancing cause I filmed it. They all brought something healthy to eat for their group. I made a big fruit salad. He had fun! I couldn't stay the whole time cause of the baby.... poor Kev, he's the only kid in school without a yaya (nanny). He was all like "I'm the only kid that the teacher had to serve cause there was no one with me."

Aaaaaaaagh................ (That's a very juvenile girly scream!!)

2007-07-23T23:14:00.000-07:00

My Baby Can Walk!!!!! He started a few days ago. He's not even 10 months. He walks halfway across my room without falling. Thats like 10 steps. And then we all go "Yay" clap, clap. Sometimes he walks of his own accord and then when he falls he claps for himself. He's soooo cute! I'm happy!

Parteeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!

2007-07-21T04:27:00.001-07:00

Birthday party for Kev's class mate.

A fun day!

2007-07-18T05:34:00.001-07:00

Last weekend!

Rainy season is here.

2007-07-17T03:07:00.001-07:00

Roo likes umbrella's.

Pretty

2007-07-17T02:33:00.000-07:00

Just a pretty fish. Mark took this pic the other day at the beach.

Heal the World!

2007-07-14T17:28:00.000-07:00

Well since I love the world I live in so much, I do my part to try to help make it a happier place.

The halfway mark of our one month Dental Mission held every January and July..... is over. The first batch of Dentists are leaving today. The program just keeps getting bigger every year. This time there was 15 Danish dentists, and 3 local Dentists, one of which is permanently employed by us, and runs our free dental clinic. Anyway it was great we treated 1637 people. And this year I played the "Hero" part by writing the prescriptions and giving the medicine. That's the part the people love the best. Hahaha! So yeah here's some shots that I took, well except the ones of me of course.

We are looking forward to welcoming the new batch of Dentists and the next half beginning.

Story Time.

2007-07-11T21:46:00.000-07:00

So in the evenings after they are all showered with teeth brushed its either book or video time. They all love reading books...... the only thing they hate is laying on the edge of the bed. For some odd reason they all wanna be on the inside of the bed. They really make a scene about being on the "EDGE". So yeah that's why the two pics are different, its a before and after "the edge" scene. But don't they just look like angels in the pics..... Sigh. If only there was no in between. Hehe.

OK I cheered up!

2007-07-10T05:41:00.000-07:00

SCAARRRRRYYYYYYY!

2007-07-10T05:33:00.001-07:00

This is what I look like on a day I have tonsillitis, horrible backache , headache, still have to keep up with all my regular motherly duties. And someone is still trying to take damn pictures!! Hahaha!

Meeeeeeeeeee!

2007-07-03T02:20:00.000-07:00

Yeah every once in a while I actually smile for a picture....... this one was just to try the camera setting cause Mark was taking pics of some things to show some people that day.... Hmmmm, so yeah......... here's perty me.

The kid.

2007-07-01T23:06:00.000-07:00

Today Kevin gave Rowan something he wanted and Rowan says "Thanx brother, you're the man." And Kevin is all like " Noooo I'm not a man I'm just a kid." Rowan - "Oh, ok you're the kid." Hmmm... cute, odd, and very crazy. Thats my boys!

Water fight!

2007-07-01T23:03:00.000-07:00

2007-06-30T01:22:00.001-07:00

2007-06-25T22:48:00.000-07:00

So we were in the mall the other day and Mark bends over and Rrripp! It was so funny he walked around like that till he finally found some pants he liked. Hehe!

2007-06-25T22:47:00.001-07:00

BUH BYE!

2007-06-20T04:26:00.000-07:00

Tree House

2007-06-20T04:14:00.000-07:00

Kevin and Grandpa building a tree house out of a tree they just cut down.

A fishy tale.

2007-06-20T03:49:00.000-07:00

So this my fish that I am so proud of! I have two but this one is my favorite. We have a special bond since I saved him from a horrible death when he was just a wee one. One night when I was huge and pregnant and Mark was gone , I was suddenly woken up by a big splashing sound followed by some flapping noises. I was so tired and thought what the ------, I'm not getting out of bed to save him. So I laid there for a while but the Flapping was driving me crazy, so I finally got out of bed moved the cupboard and rescued him... I felt so bad after cause he looked so pitiful and all covered in dust. So yeah now he has grown into a huge fish, like two of my hand lengths. They are Pacu's which is from the Pirana family. They are pretty and are like shiny silvery, and then red on the bottom. So yeah fun story huh? OK I think I'm tired......hehe. Ciao!

HAPPY FATHERS DAY

2007-06-16T22:01:00.000-07:00

MARK:
You're the greatest dad the boys could ever have. They love you so much and so do I.
I read something about Fathers that is describes so perfectly what kinda father you are. It sounds just like something the kids would say about you when they grow up.

* My father used to play with my brother and me in the yard. Mother would come out and say, "You're tearing up the grass." "We're not raising grass," Dad would reply. "We're raising boys."

DAD:What Is A Dad?

A dad is someone who
wants to catch you before you fall
but instead picks you up,
brushes you off,
and lets you try again.

A dad is someone who
wants to keep you from making mistakes
but instead lets you find your own way,
even though his heart breaks in silence
when you get hurt.

A dad is someone who
holds you when you cry,
scolds you when you break the rules,
shines with pride when you succeed,

and has faith in you even when you fail...

Yeah Dad. thats you........... Even though I haven't seen you in 7 years, Ill always think of you as the great Dad that raised me to be a great person, haha .

Hope you both have a Great Day.

Kev's BIG DAY!

So it has begun. Kev's first day at school. He was all nervous but excited. Its a private Christian school......... here public school is for the poor and all the private schools are either Christian, Catholic, or Menanite. It's a very nice upper class school. The only funny thing is that here all the schools in the PI have uniforms. But its good in a way I guess.

Heh.......

What a geek! Lol I think hes soooooooooo cute. He loves wearing the work glasses and then he starts hammering whatever it is he can find. He's so silly.
