Chris and Jenni

Before you start to thinking, “wow, Jenni is quite elated to title this post ‘The Perfect Bride’ and then post a picture of herself!” hear me out. This is actually a story about my son, he’s a dreamer.
The other morning, Aidan and Guenna and I were laying in bed, they had woken up a little […]

Here was the scenario the other day, sitting at the lunch table with all the kids:
Cait was throwing a fit about something. She’s developed an aversion to the word, “no.” I’m not exactly sure what I was telling her but I do remember trying to get her to say “yes, mama.” She was looking at […]

Tonight at the dinner table we decided to throw out the question for fun (who knows, maybe one of our kids has a good idea?) “Okay guys, what are some good boy names for our baby?”
Aidan- “Thomas!” As in Thomas the Tank Engine. Um, love the name Thomas but don’t want to name him after […]

We had a fun weekend, with a garage sale on Saturday and a fun day with our good friends the McPherson’s after church yesterday. This is Rene, she is 36 weeks pregnant and hoping that she doesn’t have the baby this week since her husband will be gone all week, building a house! She usually […]

My sister sent me this picture of my sweet little nephew Eian, is he just absolutely irresistible or what?! I just want to kiss those little lips!

It’s been awhile since I’ve done a post on my Homemaking Blog, but I did one this morning about the beets we harvested from our garden a couple nights ago. So exciting, and they are so beautiful!

How often are you supposed to wash your books?
Aidan did tell me that there was a book in the washing machine. I was having the boys help me load the washer and he had mentioned that there was a book in the washing machine. I checked but didn’t see anything, I just thought he was […]

I’ve been posting much more frequently as of late, don’t count on this roll continuing, it could definitely stop as abruptly as it started so don’t get used to it ;) I thought I would type out a few of my thoughts while Chris is on an errand to Wal-mart to purchase the VERY much […]

Yesterday would not be one of those days that I would entitle, “I was a really good mom today” day. Well, at least part of the day wasn’t. Breakfast was finished (I had made my kids Mickey Mouse waffles, Aidan had been asking for them for several days), it was a cloudy morning and I […]

Here’s an update from Tam that she left in the comments. I thought I would post it just in case some of you missed it in the comments.
Hello, all. Because I have to pump at 1 a.m., half and hour from now, I’m going to post an update here. :-) Talk to the […]

Yesterday we had the privilege of spending the afternoon playing in one of the local park with the Searles family. Sue and most of her troops were camping this week and they went out of their way to come spend the day with us, what a fun day! Aidan, who is pretty shy around new […]

Talked to Tam this morning. She said that Eian is doing better today but still not 100% so he is still in the nursery. They had him on 25% oxygen in the little incubator and are weaning him down to room level which is only 21% so he’s almost there. Tam is anxious to get […]

Welcome to the world baby Eian! He was born at 4:27pm (Hawai’i time) and weighed 8 lbs 4 oz. You are such a beautiful little guy! We are so proud of your mama and papa, they’ve worked really hard to bring you here. Can’t wait to meet you sweetie!
Aidan, Eamon, Guenna and Cait were […]

Baby Eian Makana Watanabe, arrived at 4:27pm-Hawai’i time. Congratulations you guys!!! Tam, you rock! Hopefully they will send us a picture soon!

Just got a message from San, she’s at 9cm dilated and getting ready to push! I will post the news as soon as I hear. For her sake I’m soooo thankful she’s almost done!
