The girl who caught the bouquet, gave it to Jessie afterwards. Jessie was in love and danced with those flowers for the rest of the night. It was so cute!</div>

Unfortunately I did not take many pictures at our family reunion...and even less at the Heileson family reunion. we ewnt to Pioneer, California and stayed in a really awesome cabin. We went to a lake...which was freezing, but the kids (and some of the big kids) did not seem to mind. The next day we went to a park and played a ton of games. It was a really good time and were really happy that we could make it.</div>

So I got a text yesterday from my neice saying I needed to update my blog...so this one is for you Lindsey. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Lindsey came home with us after our trip to the mainland. She made a deal with her dad last year that if she went an entire year without sugar, she could come stay with us here in Hawaii for a few weeks. She is amazing and did in fact go an entire year without sugar...not just candy, but cakes and candies and syrup and everything with sugar. She was allowed honey as a sweetener...everything else was sugar free...for an entire year!!! She is amazing and an awesome example of self control. And she is only 15 years old. Anyway she was only able to come for a week because she is a busy little bee and had to be back for dance camp, but we had a blast while she was here!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She turned 15 while she was here, so for her birthday I took her parasailing....it was so fun. I questioned posting these pictures because she makes me look like a ghost, but unfortunatly there were none of only her. :)</div>

Well today a few minutes after hearing this, she runs into the room and says, Mommy, I pooped a family, a daddy poop, a mommy poop, and 2 sister poops....nice....thanks phil...at least she told me and not her nursery teacher!<br />

Boy how the time has flown by. She weighed in at 14 lbs. 5 oz (23%) and she is 26.75 inches long (84%). and her head circumfrance is the 99th%. At least her head is still on the growth charts and honestly I do not think that it looks very big...maybe that is because I am her mama. :) <br />
<br />
Izzy is such a sweet sweet girl! She is so so quick to smile, but does not give up her giggles very easily. When she does though, it will make your heart melt instantly! She is a great baby and only really fusses when she gets bored, hungry or tired. I have to admit that she is a mama's girl. Sometimes she will be content until she sees me and then she cries until I pick her up. I can not blame her...I am pretty awesome! :) We have started her on baby food this week and so far she loves sweet potatoes, carrots, and peaches. <br />
<br />
We all love her so much. Phil is really enjoying her getting a little older and more responsive. Jessie loves to make her laugh by playing ring around the rosie. And I love that she still cuddles with me. She really is such a sweet little thing!!!<br />
<br />
Anyway, here are a few pictures from the last month.<br />

Phil did a great job. The blessing was very sweet. He was not quite as nervous as he was with Jessie. :) Anyway, I could not find Jessie's blessing dress any where, so on Thursday my mother in law and I started this dress. It came out beautifully, and I was so glad that she was here to help me....well I think really I helped her...she definately did the majority of it! Anyway, here are a few pictures of Izzy's big day. We sure love her!</div><div><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjb-dHIJYF_VVnyzbziuNOAq7OQ_OQTBIf5qacsjMURwH-RPvBpxn9H4i3J-dS-_XaciXvnitd8X3YrVpx9v9RvnMRzw9OR-V_gGiCApp4fwIFls3dy3-D11KyzRV581Y2BPogVxdr_SPtq/s1600/IMG_0189.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjb-dHIJYF_VVnyzbziuNOAq7OQ_OQTBIf5qacsjMURwH-RPvBpxn9H4i3J-dS-_XaciXvnitd8X3YrVpx9v9RvnMRzw9OR-V_gGiCApp4fwIFls3dy3-D11KyzRV581Y2BPogVxdr_SPtq/s320/IMG_0189.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5708014604667448562" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgldY7AMFD1PfCkN_vMkKUVypgzMPNI8UOMqHiVTFbwYfL7YDPsJze5-YzxH_mlaWaDkHqR_bPeYSOf6caVZmwWWNUATaGKKkOy504b2Eq6KfloeqiYN7y0xqgtWEpElUYjcBvp484dqHb3/s1600/IMG_0181.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgldY7AMFD1PfCkN_vMkKUVypgzMPNI8UOMqHiVTFbwYfL7YDPsJze5-YzxH_mlaWaDkHqR_bPeYSOf6caVZmwWWNUATaGKKkOy504b2Eq6KfloeqiYN7y0xqgtWEpElUYjcBvp484dqHb3/s320/IMG_0181.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5708014597353723266" /></a>As you can see here she is such a happy baby. She just needs to hear Phil's voice and she is all smiles. She coo's a ton and loves when Jessie pays attention to her. She is a great little eater. At her 2 month appointment she was 11 lbs. 5 oz ( in the 56%) and 23 1/2 inches long (in the 95%). Tall and thin just like her daddy. She has an increadibly loud cry....seriously it is loud, other people have even commented on it, so I know it is not just me. Luckily we do not hear it too often because she is always so content.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjN8Ixs3m9_oWg8lY4vXrf_-h8TLAOrnDJygJE70R2RCtAyO_W505q98hCQyFaibeuP3ltIf2GghVyErkX-mtX1x9eCdaqzukMDj1g1dz-35WZKXrR-sae0vsI4p0iy5S0JYXvr8yH7wfnX/s1600/IMG_0212.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjN8Ixs3m9_oWg8lY4vXrf_-h8TLAOrnDJygJE70R2RCtAyO_W505q98hCQyFaibeuP3ltIf2GghVyErkX-mtX1x9eCdaqzukMDj1g1dz-35WZKXrR-sae0vsI4p0iy5S0JYXvr8yH7wfnX/s320/IMG_0212.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5708014587875720082" /></a>Karenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06774885237697255275noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-347806369555406815.post-79136630218630424832012-01-07T13:37:00.000-08:002012-01-07T13:46:26.015-08:00Our Christmas Card...coming soon<div>So the holidays here have been a little crazy for me and not everything got done that I wanted to do. The main thing is our Christmas card. I wanted to wait till Isabella came before we took the picture...then once she came, Phil was gone pretty much the entire time until December 24th...he was around for a couple days here and there, but he had a lot of work on Oahu. Anway...we just did not get it done...but it is finally done and now I just need to get it printed and sent...so hopefully I can get that done soon! :) So here is a little sneak peak....we decided to go with a theme this year...REDNECK..:)</div><div><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1ddwI5zAeqWUjD3iFB8OeQGuDNDiaMnTIKBnUSMQn5rxgVJ-MoWfE847hcq5xeEijATCc5A_6GOVFk5VXGT0suSnBmkWizK1kBLxGZ8hnAy3DSszcj-qG9zzevUFyX-1AoJqhmsXForkH/s1600/IMG_0162.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1ddwI5zAeqWUjD3iFB8OeQGuDNDiaMnTIKBnUSMQn5rxgVJ-MoWfE847hcq5xeEijATCc5A_6GOVFk5VXGT0suSnBmkWizK1kBLxGZ8hnAy3DSszcj-qG9zzevUFyX-1AoJqhmsXForkH/s320/IMG_0162.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5695008737327112450" /></a>I just love this picture of Jessie...she was so over taking pictures! <div><br /><br /></div>Karenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06774885237697255275noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-347806369555406815.post-41035372363736939322011-12-08T01:22:00.001-08:002011-12-08T01:43:15.133-08:00Isabella Ka'iulani<div>This is the day before I had Izzy...40 weeks 3 days...I do not think I was quite this big with Jessie.</div><div><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqOp8IUCHjNzNWRn6mPfRL3QfUtO2477Aei1cSu_kUycRJbvA2Qkx5J6e5qVuygxdd1od53X9Rx6tP549xNz1OhjfYF4_lgPG2Y8rL7BmR9gAmf9KUqUwW2Q_hV9RgPjVgCWGeVttw7kdJ/s1600/IMG_0008.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqOp8IUCHjNzNWRn6mPfRL3QfUtO2477Aei1cSu_kUycRJbvA2Qkx5J6e5qVuygxdd1od53X9Rx6tP549xNz1OhjfYF4_lgPG2Y8rL7BmR9gAmf9KUqUwW2Q_hV9RgPjVgCWGeVttw7kdJ/s320/IMG_0008.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5683689808787016338" /></a><br /><div>After 10 hours of labor, Isabella finally arrived on November 22 at 7:05 am. She was 8 lbs 3 oz. and 20 inches long. She is a great baby and is already starting to coo! We love her so much...Jessie is a great big sister. She loves Izzy and is a little overwhelming to Izzy at times, but her singing and kisses make up for it. This first picture was taked right after she was born. The nurses were still wiping her down. She was really purple becuase she had the cord wrapped around her neck and tangled around her body. Her color came pretty fast though, so it was not too scary. They layed her on my chest and she stayed there for 2.5 hours. They did not weigh her or anything...it was some nice bonding time, but it got a little long to be honest because Phil left to go pick up Jessie and my mom and I still had the stuff in my back from the epidural, so I was getting a little sore....(apparently right after I gave birth a girl came in who was only 30 weeks pregnant, so all the nurses where in helping with her. Luckily she had a healthy (for 10 weeks premature) baby boy, who was wisked to Oahu for better medical care.)

Her skin tone is much darker than mine...I hope she still gets a few freckles though...I just love freckles on little girls! :)<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRsXYgg7rMIbYI68cPQlNU3O5n3nVjyqdqHq-utrguJ2dBJIg7zuHY59KbTptz5KOTomqzN-t4V1SnqP5giTT0sG2RhTGEhAAvm3NgrY0Z6FyS6FK4vbWg12K0uk2OLALx4b3h4DJyaDwE/s1600/IMG_0031.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRsXYgg7rMIbYI68cPQlNU3O5n3nVjyqdqHq-utrguJ2dBJIg7zuHY59KbTptz5KOTomqzN-t4V1SnqP5giTT0sG2RhTGEhAAvm3NgrY0Z6FyS6FK4vbWg12K0uk2OLALx4b3h4DJyaDwE/s320/IMG_0031.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5683686169787752258" /></a>Karenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06774885237697255275noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-347806369555406815.post-21474876577988234732011-10-11T15:33:00.001-07:002011-10-11T15:57:23.027-07:00Sewing Projects<div> My new favorite website is sew4home.com. They have great tutorials on easy, and some not so easy, projects. I found it when I was looking for cute material for crib bedding. It also had a tutorial on how to make the crib bedding. So, I am making crib bedding. So far I have finished the bed skirt. I still have the crib bumpers and I am going to tie a quilt. I think the bed skirt would be cuter if my crib was white and I am thinking about painting it, Except that I have a lot to do in the next 5 weeks. :) Maybe I will talk Phil into doing that for me! </div><div><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh85wCMWfaF3rcyQ4O7mhR-EP8IiwQAPZL2ayXZjVK7veDoh4lrfQkDQ_QwXnUCV-JePKacH9G2IRqZvZo0l_2UdS9B6jv716xd92oFaBZQBVSBGPbABzc3uXQOjNR0ZrSLYqt4u4M8VAtG/s1600/IMG_0017.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh85wCMWfaF3rcyQ4O7mhR-EP8IiwQAPZL2ayXZjVK7veDoh4lrfQkDQ_QwXnUCV-JePKacH9G2IRqZvZo0l_2UdS9B6jv716xd92oFaBZQBVSBGPbABzc3uXQOjNR0ZrSLYqt4u4M8VAtG/s320/IMG_0017.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5662367090025969314" /></a>In my quilting class, we learned how to make pillow cases...yes I know nothing to do with quilting, but the ladies thought it would be a good skill for me to have since I have little kids...the ladies in the classs are so awesome.

I had to bribe Phil to get it done. He got a new shot gun out of the whole thing. :) It has been nice that it was unfinished because we were able to use it for visiting family and friends, but we are glad it is done and rented out. It really helps pay the mortgage! :) So here are the pictures of the finished project.

<br /></div><div>Tonight as I was putting Jessie to bed we were talking about what we had done today. We talked about shopping in town and watching Dora and playing outside and reading books and taking daddy to the airport so he can go work. This last one is getting pretty common unfortunately, but it is so cute to hear Jessie tell her dad, see ya in a couple of days! Anyway, as we were talking about taking daddy to the airport, Jessie says, "Daddy best friend ever!" It just warmed my heart, and if you see the way he plays with her you can see why she would say that! He is so patient and kind! He teaches her so much that I would never have thought to teach her...like to love little critters (skinks, bugs, worms, gecko's, frogs, etc.) and he talks about what animals we eat and do not eat. He teaches her about the things that he loves. The other day she was off playing by herself and she comes up to Phil and I and says, " my cow, i shoot him with my gun." Phil has been hunting a bit lately and brought home a pig that he shot, and he of course talked to Jessie about hunting.

I think it is because Phil has been spending a little more time on Oahu again and I am just trying to keep myself busy so I do not get depressed about being alone! :) I have taken up a Hawaiian Quilting class. They have a non profit organization here in Waimea called Tutu's house (grandma's house) where they offer different classes to the community, all of which are absolutely free. They have yoga, guitar, knitting, Hawaiian quilting, tumbling for little kids, ukulele, etc. Anyway, I decided to go to the HAwaiian quilting class, which meets once a week for a few hours. I am the youngest there by about 40 years or so, and I love it. I really enjoy listening to the girls talk and tell stories . Most of them come from different parts of the U.S. and have some really neat experiences. Anyway, I am learning slowly but surely how to quilt HAwaiian style and boy does it take patience! :)</div><div>
<br /></div><div>I also decided that I need to knit Izzy(our not yet born baby:) a blanket since I did one for Jessie...so I am working on that. I also thought that becasue we own our own home now, I really should make Jessie and Izzy's room the cutest possible, so i thought I would make some crib bedding for Izzy. I wanted to make it gender neutral since we are hoping to have a boy someday, so I spent days on the computer looking for just the right fabric...I ordered it and am waiting for it to come in the mail. I will post pictures of it when it comes. Along with pictures of the process. I am sure it will be interesting...I am not sure what made me think that I am capable of such a task, but I have a seam ripper, so I can always try again...as long as I cut it out correctly. :) Anyway, Phil says that I need to be careful not to get too many projects goiing at once, but I think it may be a little late for that. </div><div>
<br /></div><div>There are quite a few girls in our ward that are pregnant right now and so lots of showers to go to. :) I decided that I wanted to do something a little diferent as gifts, so I decided to make hooded towels. I made a lady bug hooded towel with my sister MaryBeth before Jessie was born...actually she made it while i watched and contributed here and there. Anyway, I still have a few to make but I am pretty pleased how they turned out. I am thinking about making a bunch and selling them at the Holiday craft fair in December...I have a few other ideas for different characters. We will see how it goes. :)</div><div>

I realize it is a little late to be putting in a garden, but that is one of the great things about living in Hawaii...the growing season is year round! This year we went down to the macadamia nut factory and got a couple truck loads of husks to mix in with our dirt. Our soil here is naturally very hydrophobic, so the added husks really helped retain water. I do not think they will help much with nutrients this year, but once they decompose a little, it will be great for the garden. we also spent a lot of time getting rocks out of the garden. Phil rented a jack hammer for a few really large ones. He also renting a rototiller which turned up a ton of rocks. I swear we have more rocks in our garden than a gravel pit.

It was the first day that the wind was not blowing like crazy, and Phil was home, so we got to go to the beach together. It was a lot of fun. After playing in the water for awhile, Phil and I were laying on our towels and Jessie was playing with her sand toys. After a few minutes, Jessie comes up and says daddy, play with you (in her own little words that took us a while to decipher) It was so sweet, and Jessie did not let Phil rest for more than a few minutes. She sure loves her daddy! It is amazing how much happier and all around better mood she is in when he is home. It is hard on both of us when he travels for work, but I guess it makes the times he is home more sweet!</div><div><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg60O1zzOOn_JaGMMQ6ArmvlYy4Cd6km0uSZKH1qP-CIV_mSSoGfBrhyPUE1zLYA25xfyFwfb5BHWaTTyqu_oclPVtkZtql_fiVUwX3tQLHWw124WGzbXPCziF2v-u0S5PurUPDSRtVsn1d/s1600/IMG_0011.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block;
