Jett broke his leg!

Poor Jett just got a cast today. It is so sad. He fell on the wet bathroom floor one night while getting all the kids bathed and ready for bed. He wouldn't walk on it for several days, so we finally took him in. He has a hairline fracture on his tibia. Despite how he looks in these pictures, he isn't too happy so far about it. Meanwhile, Tom is out of town, I'm not supposed to lift anything for 2 more weeks because of the c-section, and Keani needs to be fed every 2 hours, the kids are out of school and need taking care of...wow. It's been a week. (Can you tell how tired I am in this picture?) Thank goodness for my mom, family, friends and Kalea helping me or I think I would go crazy. Hopefully it will calm down soon! :)

Kiddos doin' their thang

Keani just chillin' in mom's favorite hat

Sucking on her arm! Another time she tried to latch on to those little polka dots on the cradle bumper!

One day Kalea and Jackson decided to play "Indians." Here are their costumes. Kalea's is a real halloween costume that I've used several times. Jackson's, well, his is made up...
...complete with loin cloth tucked in the underwear, and war paint on his chest. Their imaginations are so funny! Jett is trying to decide what he thinks about him!

Hospital pictures of Keani

These pictures were taken by the hospital photographers. I thought they did a pretty good job. All the headbands and hats were too big, but we made do. She's just a little peanut. We are enjoying her so much!

This one below is my favorite one. What an angel! She even knows how to "pose" with her hands!

Introducing Keani Lynne

Introducing Keani Lynne Fobert! (Kay-ah-nee, hawaiian for "wave in the ocean"). Lynne is my middle name, and Tom's mom's middle name, and we spell it the same, so she is named honoring us both, which I think is really special. Born June 1st, 11:56 am, 7lbs, 6oz, via c-section. She is a mixture of all the kids, but the most like Kai we think. She is probably going to have blue eyes like Kai. She is so tiny and perfect. I just love having a girl again, and the kids and Tom are just adoring her!
Kai is so cute with her. He always says, "Aww, she's so cute, I can't live without her!"

Daddy with his daughters!

Jackson just loves her and loves helping with her.

First meeting

Needless to say, Kalea is thrilled to have a sister. She started crying when she first saw her, and said "I'm so happy! She's so beautiful!"

Principals Award

Jackson and Kalea both earned the Principal's Wall of Fame award. We are so proud of them. After their breakfast I went to the hospital to have the baby!

Kai's 4th Birthday!

Kai turned 4!! He absolutely had to have breakfast in bed, since the older kids did. He was thrilled. Then he had a party at Party On, it was a complete success! Happy Birthday Kai!Kai has been in love with Kung Fu ever since Kung Fu Panda came out. He is constantly kung fu-ing something or someone. Now Karate Kid is coming out and guess who can't wait to see it? We showed him the old Karate Kid movie, and we've been getting crane-kicked ever since.



And a random one of Jett. I love this kids eyes and dark, curly hair. He gets comments daily about his long lashes. He's a pretty boy, what can I say?

Kalea's room

So Kalea and I have been excited about "doing up" the new baby girl's room, but then it made me feel guilty that we hadn't really done anything decorative with hers and we've been in the house a year now. I've always seen these letters on walls and thought they were so cute, and so I finally just ordered them without Kalea knowing, and Kai helped me hang them up while she is at school today. She will be so surprised. They look so so cute in there, I keep going by and just gazing at them. I just love her name, and to see it on her wall makes me so happy. Now we just need to get her some cute curtains and it will be so cute. How fun is having a girl? I think I'll have the best of both worlds soon, because I'll have an older girl to go do things with/talk with, etc., and a little baby girl to dress up and do the baby things with. Plus 3 fun boys in between. Good times.( ps...This furniture and quilt were mine when I was a teenager!)

(pps...And notice the "9" balloon still in her room...When Tom got her balloons for her party, it was a really windy day, and he was coming in the door when the wind blew the door shut right on her 9 balloon, popping it. She was so sad. I was like, my gosh, it's just a balloon, but Dad, being the dragon-slayer, went back and got her another one. She loves that thing!)
(For those that don't know...it's pronounced Kuh-lay-uh. It is hawaiian for "bright." )
