He had a birthday...shout hurray!

Well it is official, as of Monday March 26th,

Ashkiilani Katsumi

is 5 years old!

How did this happen????

In a few months he will be off to Kindergarten

and no longer my little boy.

to celebrate, on Saturday we took Ash and the gang to

TOAD's for some go-carts, mini-golf and lots of fun!

Karli and Chris and their girls joined us.

As you can see by the attire, we couldn't have

asked for better weather.

Nalu, Kaiya and all the little ones enjoyed

this silly Merry Go Round about 10 times.
Karli and Chris took their girls on the go-carts
after us, so we took care of little Avery
for a bit. I know how hard it would be to
juggle 5 kids!! Nalu kept following her around
and I was soo nervous he would knock her over?!

Ame was given Karli's camera to be the
photographer. She LOVED that job!

The boys being sweet to each other

(a rare moment)

Ash got a BIG boy bike for his birthday

(we are hoping to soon get the training wheels off)

And a few other fun toys

Moms cake. No time for fancy cakes these days.

But the birthday boy was happy with it and the Play dough

icre cream, so that is all that matters!
On Sunday Grandma Frankie and Jeff AND dad

came for dinner and to celebrate with us too.

Ash is the sweetest boy!

He has become quite the funny kid these days. Ash is definitely the most timid of all the bunch. But that to me is a good thing! Not soo much worrying all the time. He loves to learn and try new things. He has taken a huge liking to Lego's, just like his big brother. He has quite the obsession for Wii too. We have to limit his time playing, otherwise he'd play all day. Ash and Nalu have become quite the buddies this past year, since they spend soo much alone time together during the day. He has always had a special place in his big sis, Ame's heart as well. He is soo ready for kindergarten, and is reading and writing soo well! He can't wait for Grandma to get home, so she can do SCHOOL with him too.

We LOVE Ash soo much and can't imagine our lives or family without him.

Hope you had a great day BIG Boy!!
