test everyone had already concluded warm ups and practices anna had to jump right into her test without any preparation or warmup i was so nervous for her and felt terrible because anna seemed so upset that we were late but despite all of that anna did great she didn t make any mistakes and was steady on her feet and remembered all the moves after the exam she did some sparring with her fellow students and then with her friend the video i took of her doing her kata is too long otherwise i d post it as well here we are after the exam jolee wasn t feeling too congratulatory but we were all proud of her and ready to go eat lunch me with anna so so proud good job anna posted by yumi at 11 47 pm 1 comments 12 december 2014 black light run a group of friends extended an invitation to run the black light run a short 5k run around aloha stadium dusted with neon powder and decked with every imaginable glow in the dark accessory we could find how could i refuse so here we all are all dressed in our clean white shirts and then some of us managed to procure some powder from the dj s on stage who threw packs upon packs of powder into the crowd and then we threw said powder all over each other all over each other seriously who comes up with these things can you see our powdered faces and hair it wasn t just our hair oh no we were powdered from head to toe which glowed like this under the black lights stationed throughout the course freaky and then after the race we were sweaty and sticky and still powdery i don t think i ve ever had such a fun time at a race with such a fun group of ladies good times posted by yumi at 11 08 pm 0 comments 28 november 2014 thanksgiving 2014 thanksgiving this year was spent up in hau ula at my sister elika s house it was pretty chaotic cramming so many people into one house but since elika has a nice yard outside we took advantage of the added space and relegated many of the little ones outdoors it s pretty much a party whenever we all get tougher no matter the occasion this is something i am so very grateful for with so many cousins to play with my kids are so lucky they have already made friends at every holiday gathering see eating outside on the lawn the kids don t mind though they alternated between eating and running around and wrestling and football everything thanksgiving should be about right oh but we can t forget about the food which was all very delicious i promise my salad was on the other plate eating on top of their bike shed i m sure there is some danger to having them sit up so high but they were thankfully safe and ate all their food like good kids should some kids had to improvise a little on their entertainments since elika s ride on toys were being used by others he decided to ride this toy police bus so sad someone buy this kid a real ride on toy it s always sad when one of the kids get sick even more sad when it s on a holiday or when we are playing with cousins jolee had a relapse of her fever from 2 days ago and was out like this for most of the evening poor thing didn t even get to eat her favorite mashed potatoes and gravy mitch had to fly in the morning and afternoon but managed to drive up to meet us after he finished work it was a long drive for him but we were thankful that he was able to spend at least some time with us on this special day i have so much to be thankful for that the list could go on and on but let me just say that i am thankful for my heavenly father he s given me and my family so much joy and progress this year i m also thankful for my family it s not so common for families and extended families to get along so well but we do we love each other and the little cousins are the best of friends happy thanksgiving to our friends and family both near and far posted by yumi at 12 33 am 0 comments 17 november 2014 vegas rock n roll i feel a tad selfish for taking so many little trip away from home but this was a particularly fun one for me i flew to las vegas to participate in the rock n roll half marathon i was excited and nervous and so very cold who knew that las vegas got so cold in the winter here i am landed safely in vegas after a long red eye flight bright and early with temperatures in the 40 s brrrr i ve been to las vegas a few times before but this was the very first time coming here by myself with no kids i met up with my friend sachiyo from seattle and we had the most fabulous night first was a super fancy dinner at the wynn followed by a show we watched cirque du soleil s mystere and it was absolutely incredible the feats and stunts that they did were just mind boggling we left in awe of what the human body can accomplish when put to its limits of strength and power wow if you ever have the chance to see a cirque du soleil show go it will blow your mind the following day was a day of rest and preparation i ran some errands did a little bit of shopping and after a short nap to rest up it was out to hit the road the las vegas rock n roll marathon half marathon for me is a night race running along the main las vegas strip they closed the entire strip down for the race and it was chaos for drivers i m sure but i got to meet up with my good friend gini who was also running the race we had a yummy lunch together before the race at a funky irish pub i think our waiter was even sporting a fake irish accent when he came to take our order but the food was yummy and it was so fun getting to catch up before the race we didn t get to meet up during the run however since she blew past my time and left me in the dust but it s all good i told myself that this would be my final half marathon but honestly this was probably one of the funnest races i ve ever run the atmosphere the people the crowds and the scenery was just so much fun and excitement plus i actually had fun in las vegas which was something i didn t think possible i may have to reconsider that vow and sign up for next year s race there as well but despite the fun race the same could not be said for after the race it was about a mile and a half walk back to my hotel from the finish line and i was freezing literally a frozen block of ice walking back to my room the temperatures had dropped to right around the low 40 s and with my wet clothes i was a popsicle within 15 minutes by the time i got back to the hotel i couldn t feel my fingers and i couldn t stop shivering even while soaking in a hot bath it probably took a good hour before my body temperature returned to normal and i had full function of all my digits and by then you can bet i was starving so i donned my jacket and headed out to get some sustenance to refuel my body i walked about a mile and a half to bobby flay s burger joint and ordered myself a burger fries and onion rings which were probably the best onion rings and burger i ve ever tasted although that could possibly be due to the fact that i was famished but either way it was good and then on my way back happened upon a krispy kreme stand so had to get a couple or more donuts for dessert and breakfast the next day it was a whirlwind 3 day 2 night trip but i am so glad i got to go i had so much more fun than i thought i would and am so grateful to mitch for allowing me to get away for a weekend and do what i love to do i would also be remiss if i didn t mention that since mitch had to work during the weekend my mom stepped in and helped watch the kids for me while i was gone i am truly blessed with the best family posted by yumi at 12 11 am 0 comments 31 october 2014 happy halloween halloween this year was almost a week long affair we had our ward halloween party on tuesday night anna and jolee informed me at the end of last year that they both wanted to be peacocks for halloween the following year so technically i had an entire year to prepare for this night and i wanted to make it good but then i forgot about it until close to september so i had to frantically search the web for ideas on making a memorable peacock costume without having to break the bank this was the result i ordered the peacock feathers online used a glue gun and stuck them together onto pieces of cardboard cut out to fit their backs and covered the ugliness with teal felt and stuck it all together with a long ribbon for tying around their waist i then made teal and green tutus for each to wear over black leggings the colorful feather boa was a bonus i was pretty proud of myself for this creation it took some time but i thought the result was well worth it but most importantly the girls loved it and that was my main goal then came kaden s costume ok so last year i totally flaked out on costumes so i was determined to redeem myself with his monster truck costume this year i bought a cardboard box painted it cut it out taped some pieces together add some embellishments and some suped up tires made from paper plates and bubble wrap tucked inside contractor garbage bags and voila kaden was a monster truck driver seriously so proud of this costume i spent way too much time on it but it was well worth it in my opinion and kaden loved it he kept wanting to put it on and drive all over the place making vroom noises as we went yay success here they are in the light of the church gym not to toot my own horn or anything but we got a lot of compliments okay okay totally tooting my own horn and here are all the kids together in the room that i helped decorate kela took forever to decide on a costume so i had to improvise and buy this ensemble at the store it wasn t anything exciting or flashy just a witch costume with a wooden broomstick and here are the cousins together it was such a hectic night and the party was pretty much a blur but the kids had fun collecting candy outside in the parking lot and playing games inside the church afterwards honestly i ve never been much of halloween fanatic so for me this was more than enough oh and did i mention they had a costume contest they did there was no grand prize but the kids were definitely in the running for best costume it was pretty exciting i must say they paraded around the gym and i could tell anna and jojo loved showing off their peacock feathers i was simply happy that they were happy with their costumes and then on thursday night we decided to finally carve our pumpkin wait i know what you re thinking i thought there weren t any pumpkins at the pumpkin farm when you went and you d be right there were no pumpkins at the farm but jolee happened to grab a pumpkin from the aloun farm when she went on a field trip with her class from school yay for jolee saving halloween daddy cut the top and the kids got to scoop out the goo jolee then got to decide and draw the face of her jack o lantern and daddy cut it out with this on our porch it s finally starting to feel like halloween friday halloween morning kaden had a dress up and trick or treating day at his school i brought his costume and the parents all spread out around the school while all the kids got to go trick or treating around to the parents it was so cute and fun and kaden loved it how cute are his classmates i m so happy we found this school for kaden he absolutely loves it here and loves his teachers and friends plus he s improved in so many ways with his speech and language yay for school and then it was halloween night our neighborhood turned out to be a great place to go trick or treating with lots of neighborhood kids walking around as well unfortunatly mitch had to work but i had my mom stay and guard the house and pass out candy while we went around a couple of blocks near our house with the cousins anna and jolee were tired by the end of the second block so after returning home they decided to take over the passing out candy duties from obachan happy halloween hope you all had a fun and safe halloween too posted by yumi at 11 29 pm 1 comments 25 october 2014 waimanalo pumpkin farm minus the pumpkin it s the weekend before halloween and we have put off getting pumpkins for the kids because well we ve been so busy and didn t realize that halloween was already here yikes where did the time go anyway last minute trip to the waimanalo pumpkin farm turned out to be a semi bust since there were no pumpkins left in the fields as in none zero zilch but the kids got to hang out with cousins and pet some animals and ride the tractor so i suppose it wasn t a complete waste of time justus jolee and nixon in the pumpkin these cut out signs are so ridiculous but we can never refuse the kids in front of the stinky sheep there were also pigs cows and a little bunny they let loose that the kids got to pet this was probably the highlight of this excursion for the kids the highlight for me however was this lemonade seriously the best lemonade ever i bought extra to bring home as well the kids on the tractor hay ride squished onto one seat but they didn t mind me and the girls if you re wondering where mitch and kaden are at they were at home taking a nap on this muggy saturday afternoon and here are the cousins maybe we should have snatched up one of these pumpkins on display here because seriously how can a pumpkin farm have no more pumpkins left that s just crazy posted by yumi at 10 57 pm 0 comments pink dragons soccer season has come and gone yet again anna joined the pink dragons in mid august with 9 other girls for her very first season of u 10 soccer i m not going to lie i was a bit worried for her the field at this age level is huge plus the teams have goalies positions and did i mention the field is huge but she jumped right in and had a great season and we couldn t have been more happy for her here she is with coach rehan and her teammates this season also happened to be her first season with a new district in our new neighborhood i must say this district doesn t seem as organized or structured as our previous experiences with ayso but all in all it was a good experience and we sure enjoyed watching her play hard every saturday or well some of us did anyway here she is on her first game day rather than show all the individual games i ll just post a few pictures i took of her throughout the season she really did work hard and improved in so many ways she was one of the youngest on the team and definitely the smallest but she hustled and tried her best every game and we were very proud of her coach rehan was a very patient and kind coach and the girls really responded to him we were glad to play with him and the rest of the pink dragons good job anna posted by yumi at 12 45 am 0 comments older posts home subscribe to posts atom our family about me yumi we are the seavey s yumi is from
