Notebo-Tabura Ohana

I never have any time any more. If im not working im with the kids, if im not with the kids im working. Me Shy and Mom have decided that we need a TIME OUT. And by TIME OUT... I mean TIME OUT. We need to find something that will take us away from work and not exactlly away from the kids, but just time to ourself. We have been looking at dance classes or yoga or a fitness club. just something. And would you believe it nothing. WE FOUND NOTHING!! Lets see.. could it be because we live on and ISLAND and can go to the beach or a small mall (bigger than kauais biggest mall. LOL) or even Wal Mart. Thats a classic once a week must. We just need time to get back into shape. Hey im round and round is a shape but i want another shape. I have made it my goal to do something about all the extra "being a mommy" fat or love handles or love drawers what ever you want to call it. i just want it GONE! Plus i think the added time to dance or yoga would be very good for the brain, patience and ...

Since i wrote a blog. Everyday im saying i need to go back.... but i just get soo busy and crazy between work and home. My girls are getting so big, Tresilla is learning to spell. She can spell: I-L-O-V-E-Y-O-U T-R-E-S-I-L-L-A O-M-O-M-O-M (you can guess that means MOM) D-A-E (and this is dad) We are working on it. She amazes me somtimes with the things she wants to learn and the stuff she says. She will say random things when you least expect it. Example. She is laying on my lap and turns and looks at me and says "mom dont fart ok?" Something repeated from when i tell Treston. LOL Friday night she out of the blues tells my mom... "mama i dont kiss boys yet". um hello she is 3 she better not be. Taqorrie is such a quick learner. She is standing while pulling herself up. Crawling on all fours. And can recognize who she wants. She'll call "dada" or if that dont work "mamah". Did i mention that she is into EVERYTHING. And around EVERYWHERE in the...

Yesterday was filled with such wonderful memories. We went to the Maui Humane Society to visit some of the animals. We usually do that just to see some of the animals with no families. Tresilla loves to carry the kitties and talk to the dogs. So it works out pretty good. And is a plus we dont have animals so this is her dose. BUT it is sorta hard becuase i just want to take them all home. I know im a sucker for animals. Then we picked up some good ol healthy Burger King LOL. And headed off to visit my papa in haiku. It was so good to be around him and be there. Felt like mama was there smiling at us all joking and laughing. I love to sit and listen to all of papas stories of daddy and even me when we were young. After all we spent so much time with them. After lunch we went accross the street to the school to play. And when i say play i mean play lol. Sella got to go on the swing with alijah and all of us took turns. Had a teather ball match. Me and Shy, Travis and Ricky and Treston an...

This week she has jumped over a few of her milestones. She sat up from her tummy all by her self yesterday. Of course i wasnt the one who seen it. Her daddy did. However i am trying to teach her to get a hold of the the crib and pull herself up. Her bottom teeth are comming in. How exciting. Soon she can start the big girl food. Oh and last week she started crawling. Well not crawling crawling. More like ......????.... Slugging?? or Army Crawling. LOL She is such a sweety. Last night she was weezing. And scared me so bad. Today i took her to the doctors and she had to take a treatment of albuterol. And she took it so easy, like a pro. Gosh i havent blogged in a while. i must get back into the groove of this. i missed it as weird as it sounds.

So today we went to the beack. To fish. Wich we really never really catch anything worth eating... lol but thats ok. I think it may just be in my husbands gentics to "hunt" and provide. So cute. LOL We have attempted many times to fish and yet to really catch anything. Oh wait we did last fathers day at Sugar beach we caught a fish. A boney fish but a fish. I mean we catch balloon fishies and eals. But nothing to eat. LOL im an eater. :D Anyways so our fishing tales dont really have that many tales. haha anyways. Now that we are all comfortable and chilling eating chips and haning out. Baby Dog desides he wants to go play with "Rude Boy". Let me explain who Rude Boy is. Rude Boy is this massive Pit Bull Dog. A beautiful built handsome Pit Bull. Ok and recap Baby Dog is a Maltese. *Nuff Said* So me and Shy got our Cardio for the day as we realize this may be the last time we see is furry white toosh. We run our happy butts to get him and he acts as if he doesnt hear ...

"MY HUSBAND" I'd say one of the reasons that I am smiling is the fact that i have the best backbone i could ever ask for. And thats my HUSBAND. I think some times i dont appreciate him enough. But is the worlds most wonderful man in my eyes. He alsways brings a smile to my face and keeps my content. Yes we bonk heads. Rarely but still he can turn my frown upside down without even trying. I love you Treston Jay! "LITTLE MISS TRESILLAMARIE" What a ham. Do i need to say more. With all her little rascal moves she is always on the go. A firecracker that i must watchout for. She is a mini-me and i think thats why we are always on the roll erking each other. Motherly and daughter love. She is a sweetheart! Mommy loves you sella-wells! "LEACHY TAQORRI-LEE" She is getting bigger and cutter by the day. Her smile just brightens the room! Her laugh will make any grump smile. She is a complete mommy's girl. And a leach. Growing and learning so quickly. She wi...

Saturday we had Mams service at St. Rita's Church in Haiku. It was small and nice. I got to meet some of Mamas friends that she cooked with for Habitat for Humanity. And went to church with. It was nice to see how many friends she had. I have spent more time with Dads side of the family the past few weeks than in about 3 years put together. Its nice seeing my cousins and aunts. Its been to long sice we spent time together. Sux that something like this is the only time we get to spend together. Just makes you hug the ones close to you a little harder and kiss them alot more. With a lost of a family member you really start to appreciate the ones you have around you. Its like you havent seen them in years even if they are in your daily life. All in all the service was nice. And the lunchin after was great. Got to hear stories of mama and her friends. And as we were walking to the ha ll my Uncle said he could her Mama saying "COME EAT". Lol she was always one of the first to ...

Yesterday was one of the better days since grandmas passing. I really felt like i needed to be out for a little bit so i arranged for us to go walking. Me, Shy, Mom and Steph went walking. A longer route than expected but a good walk. Man did it feel good to just go walking and leave all your troubles behind you. It was so nice to walk and watch the sunset on Haleakala and the West Maui mountains. We did come accross a couple of loud dogs. Oh and one that even came at us. Luckily he was smaller type. LOL. What we tought would have been a 30 min walk actually turned out to be a more like 45 minutes. Headed for home and got started with our prayer. We have been doing the 9 Day Novina Prayers for Mama and it has been helping me so much. Yesterday was the 6th day. Last night i didnt cry. I felt as if Mama was there watching us pray for her. And i didnt cry like i have been. I am accepting in my heart that Mama is with Jesus and is in a far better place than we all are. She is free and heal...

I am LEARNING to UNDERSTAND that I am not super woman and cant always change the outcome or "fix" it. If thats what you would call it. I have been working on finding peace with my Mamas passing. And slowly i am starting to feel ok. Very slowly but better slow than never. Mama wouldnt want me to constantly be upset. I still think of her like crazy. And miss her like im missing a limb or something... I really dont know how to put it.

So yesterday was the FIRST day that i felt a LOST like this. My Mama left the earth and went to Heaven. She followed the light to the pathway were we will meet again. Do you know what it feels like to have your heart ripped out into a million pieces??? Well thats just a little way to explaine how i felt yesterday. I wanted to smoke a ciggarette and i dont even smoke. Plus i know mama would have had it out with me. I know that this is the way that it had to be. With all the illness that she was dealing with as far as the high bloode pressure, diabetes and her heart condition.... This is just the way that it all just cought up with her. I can stop thinking about her. I see her here with me in EVERYTHING that i do. Last night when i walked in my doors i realized something............ "almost EVERYTHING in our home is either made by Mamas hands with LOVE or gotten for me and my family from her". How do you cope with knowing that you wont be able to get a hug on a rough day when y...
