Gabe Singing Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday Isabel!

Not sure if you saw this post earlier....computer problems.....now it's fixed????

Here's a picure of our silly birthday girl with her new pose. Not sure where she got it....it's kinda like an Egyptian pose. She had lots of fun on her birthday. She kept on saying "This is the best birthday ever!" How sweet......all we did was go to Baskin' Robbins after I picked her up from school. While she was eating her ice cream we raced over to Toys R Us so she could pick up a couple toys for her birthday. She picked out a Spotted Leopard (Barbie Care n' Cure) and this Alligator putting game so she can play with her brother (she's so thoughtful)...she even wanted me to buy him a Spotted Leopard so he "doesn't mess up" hers......he he. Next we went over to the grocery store where we got ingredients for apple popovers (in the photo above)......they have apples, cinnamon, brown sugar and icing on it.......yummmmmy! She helped me mix the batter. Joshua, Derrick, and Tristan came over with uncle and auntie and Lolo and Lola were there too! Papa was at work :( like always in the evenings.....but we'll all celebrate together on Saturday.

Here is Isabel posing in her Hannah Monana wig....yes, I broke down and FINALLY got her that blond wig I've been resisting for so long!!!! I mean, that's who Hannah Montana is, right?

Typical Man Behavior!

He's not even 2 years old and he's already sticking his hands down there!

Note: Click on the photos and they will enlarge (if you want to get a better look).....oh! If you had trouble viewing the videos of Gabe and Bel, I reuploaded them to Google video and I think it works now!!!!!

Every year, like we usually do, I bring my kids over to Uncle Eddie and Auntie Jocelyn's house so all the kids can go Trick-or-Treating together! It's always so much fun because mom and dad come over too and it's just a nice thing to see everyone together!!! We take pictures and have lotsa fun!

Batman couldn't seem to get his mask on right! So all night it would be crooked or the eye holes would be sitting on his forehead! But he was a pretty good sport considering he's almost two and didn't yank the whole mask off!!!! I was happy!

Here's my cousin Joshua! So cute and brainy just like Harry Potter! I really think he should get the Harry Potter glasses!

My baby cousin Tristan was a monkey! OOOOOhhh Oooooh....AAAhhhh....Aaaaah! All that is missing is his bananna!




My cuter than cute cousin Derek said he was a "Navy Pilot" but I called him MAVERICK the whole night!!!! Eat your heart out Tom Cruise......this one has DIMPLES!





As you can see.....I'm not the only full grown adult in costume!!!!! Here's my Uncle Eddie and Auntie Alma. Obama and a cat-woman.....without a tail (she forgot it...he he)!

Yes, another late post! I have another long awaited niece, Ashley born!

She's one of my most bestest friends ;)

I love you, Sher and am so happy for you and Tony!

We'll visit more often when Ashley is bigger (I'm a little nervous with visiting cuz she's so young).....it's the nurse in me......he he....we've been passing a cold here in the Kao house.

CONGRATS SHERRY AND TONY!

I love that I caught this funny face!

Another Singing Filipino Pretty Boy!

I've never been one to go for the Pretty-Boy Singing Filipinos.....um....but my son is definitely one of them!!!! Maybe it's because he's just like his Lolo (my dad)!

Storytime With Isabel

Isabel brought a book home today which she made and she is supposed to read it to at least 3 people!!!! I know some of you haven't seen her read yet! I hope you enjoy! It's crazy how fast she is learning! She was also having a good hair day, so we decided to leave it down....he he.

Funniest video EVER!

Samual's Favorite Treat!

Hi! If you haven't seen Saumual's video yet, check it out!

A "buh" with a "oooooohhh" chunk!

It's amazing what Isabel comes home saying! She is learning so much in Kindergarten, I just can't believe how fast. Today I went to Curriculum night where her teacher talks about what the goals are and what the class is learning and even how they are learning how to read and write.....pretty cool.

So, I realized what she meant the other day when she READ HER FIRST WORD (at least in front of me)! We were watching her favorite YouTube video (I subscribe to lots of crafting videos....he he...and there are a couple she LOVES to watch). In one of the videos, a woman makes a cool Halloween card that says "boo" (below is the video, if you happen to want to see it...it's pretty darn cool). Anyway, we're watching the video and she goes....."Mommy, I know what that says. It says "boo". And my eyes get super big and I go....."how do you know that, honey?" She says, "cuz it has a buh with a ooooh chunk".

As it so happens, her teacher, Mrs. Finan, explains today at Curriculum Night how they are learning how to read "chunks" like the "an" chunk in the word ran and can and so on.......so if they learn the chunks, they can learn lots of other words with different letters before (and after) the chunk. Does that make sense? Anyway, thought that was a cool story...now I know why I've been going around the house these past 3 days saying "a buh with a ooooh chunk"! SO CUTE!

OH! SO FAR, ISABEL HAS $31 IN DONATIONS FOR THE FUN RUN (he he......it's from her mommy and papa).......

Here's the video!

Will you sponsor me?

Donations are due by September 30th

Hi! It's Isabel!

Will you please sponsor me in the Falcon Fun Run at my school? Our school PTA is trying to earn $26,000 so we can buy more stuff to climb and slide on at recess, and pay for school activities. I like to go to like Math Night, Dr. Seuss Night and Bingo Night. I can also earn some prizes if I help bring in a lot of donations, so that's a good thing too.

Please reply if you can help me to raise money (because I will need to record your name and donation amount on my form). If you want to save time and donate by using a computer, you can do that too. There's picture of the play structure we are trying to buy on our school PTA website and a button to donate money (don't forget to tell me if you donated through the website so I can write it down). I heard it was pretty easy to do. Here's the address: http://www.forestviewpta.org/. (By the way, I had help with this).

Love,

Isabel

Look What I Can Do!

Wanted to let everyone know my videos have improved! Here's my newest one!

Isabelly's first day of school!

Here's our Isabel! I managed to get her into bed by about 9:30pm (waaay earlier than she usually goes to bed)! She woke up all bright-eyed and excited for her first day of school! I was fine up until her teacher started to take them inside....and from nowhere...my eyes started to well up with tears!!!! He he......I'm happy....but nervous....but luckily our little girl is brave and bold and can handle lots of things on her own! Wheeew! Enjoy the photos!
