Busy Little Bees

Everyone here is busy, busy, busy.  

Mom is back in school....which means the blog gets neglected.  

Dad is busy at work with meetings and phone calls and all that boring grown up stuff.  

Noah is loving fourth grade, powering through HOURS of homework almost every night.  

He is still swimming for the Kamehameha swim club three days a week, during which he was recently moved up a level to a new coach!  Very exciting news!  Here they are working on their arm strength.

He is also playing soccer this fall for AYSO.  He is enjoying some time in the goal, but also getting to play other positions too which is nice.  He seems to be emerging as a pretty great defender.  He always puts himself in the right position.

Caleb LOVE LOVE LOVES kindergarten.  His writing has perfected in just the last three weeks and he is a book worm.  Give the child a reading log and make it like a competition with prizes and suddenly the kid sits and reads books for hours!  

He is also in a fall soccer league.  He is the giant on his team.  He scored 3 goals rather easily in his first game and had to sit the rest of the game.  Luckily, he is more concerned about the snack than actually playing. :)  And his jump roping skills are being perfected as well.

Jonah has been busy being Jonah.  If he isn't playing trains, he's searching the trash can, or cleaning out the bathroom cabinets, or exercising his reach by grabbing anything and everything he can off of the kitchen and bathroom counters.  He is also into reading books which quickly turns into ripping out the pages.  And he is busy working on climbing (which includes reaching the top bunk all on his own), blowing kisses, raising his hand (good practice for kindergarten), and lifting Tiki.

We try to contain him by putting ankle weights on him....haha! (That's a joke.)

Doesn't this look just scream mischief! 

Our newest family member (by newest, I mean, most recently moved into our house), Bushia is busy too!  She has finally adjusted to the time change, catching up on sleep.  And she is busy keeping up with her grandsons.  As if Jonah isn't enough to keep her busy, she has even succumbed to a few board games with the older boys as well.  She is also busy with her daily walks, trips to the library, and trying to get her show times and channels figured out here! :-)

And last but not least, Mr. Tiki.  He's just busy trying to get as much love and attention as he can.
