a birthday bash & thank you cards

a birthday bash & thank you cards

*this post is sponsored by Basic Invite Well, it’s official. My youngest daughter’s childhood is half-way over. That’s right. Aria is now nine years old. Nine! How did that creep up on me? Seems like only yesterday that I was potty training this one. The 9th birthday is always a special one in my heart because […]

Aria’s Girl Scout troop is representing Japan at their annual International Faire at the end of this month, so as a related field trip the troop took a train to downtown Los Angeles to spend some time in Little Tokyo. This was Aria’s second time on a train, but it was her first time at […]

Aria the Builder

October 10, 2016

Aria the Builder

The other day I brought some cabinets home from IKEA.  Well, you know how that goes.  They needed to be assembled, and my husband wasn’t home to do it. So I looked around the house to see who could build these things for me.  I asked my 16 year old son if he would build them for me. He […]

the field trip

My kids have this thing that they do.  Whenever someone leaves our house after visiting, or even sometimes when I leave the house to go somewhere, they will run on the sidewalk alongside the car and “race” the car to the top of our street.  The person in the car will drive slow at first, […]

Old Maid

January 24, 2014

Old Maid

My Kindergartener gets out of school each day two hours before her siblings do.  During that time she eats lunch, plays with the baby for a few, and then it’s all about “Mommy, will you play with me?” Today she wanted to play Old Maid.  I told her that Old Maid is best played with […]

This week Aria turned FIVE.  It’s so hard to believe.  Not too long ago, she was the baby of the family.  Now she is five years old with a baby brother under her.Here is a quick update on our #9… She keeps a very messy, messy bedroom! Her favorite place to sleep is in big […]

I miss the mouse

I miss the mouse

So have you heard that I got a new laptop?  My first laptop!  Oh yeah, it’s pretty nifty, that’s for sure.  I really do love it.  But I have some concerns: For one thing, I pretty much suck at navigating the arrow-thing around without a mouse!  Am I the only one who likes using a […]

preschool

The first day of preschool.  I have done this eight times before.  But of course this time, my ninth time taking one of my 4 year olds to a first day of preschool,  had a special spot in my heart.  She is the youngest.  I doubt I’ll do this ever again. She could very well […]

while I was away….

While I was MIA from the blog world this summer….She turned four. She was so excited for her birthday to come.   Her two friends Gigi and Evelyn were her party guests.  In the past, her birthday party “guests” were her siblings, so to have her own friends there was a HUGE deal for her!  We took […]

We were passing the time at a soccer game this weekend, and I took some photos of Aria.  I told her to jump so that I could try to capture motion.  So she jumped.And instead if catching her image on the way down,  I captured it on the way up, which makes this photo look […]

when it’s just one

There is one day during our school week where the older homeschooling kids take a couple of classes with our charter school.  Two of them take an art class, and the other takes a US History class.  This is great for them (to be away from mom for a change!)  and this is also great […]

when life gives you lemons…

when life gives you lemons…

… let your three year old make lemonade! This is Aria’s “forced smile” face.  We are seeing this more and more in her photos lately.  She’s getting to that age where she knows she is supposed to smile for a picture, and so she forces one instead of smiling naturally.  And it’s useless to tell […]

let’s wrap

This year I let my three year old wrap all the Christmas gifts that she had carefully chosen for her brothers and sisters. She has 4 brothers and 4 sisters.   That’s eight gifts.  Do you know how much self-control it took for me to just sit there while she did her best to cut that […]
