Portland and Vday

Mahal, Honey, and I were lucky to have the chance to go and visit Cory, Rachel, Emory, and Tessa in Oregon last weekend! It was really fun! The first day that we got there, we went to a fun museum for the kids. It's called OMSI. Mahal had so much fun playing with her cousins there. They had different areas where you learned about water, sand, air, the market, and a place where you learned about animals. You could spend hours there!!!! We also were able to go to VOODOO DOUGHNUTS!!!! SO good! We even brought some home to share. We went shopping, hung out with everyone, and just had a really good time!! On the way home our flight got canceled and it made for a long night! We were supposed to leave at 5:30pm and our flight got changed to 6:50pm. Mahal loved to play on the walking, floor escalators. Good thing they kept her occupied because we had been there for 4 hours waiting to get on a plane. We did finally make it home.... thank the heavens! Thanks to Cory, Rach, and the girls for all they did for us while we were there!
This week was also Valentines Day. Adrian is so amazing! I'm a lucky women to have him in my life! He bought me some beautiful roses!!!! SO BEAUTIFUL! He also got me the Breaking Dawn movie:) Mahal got some really fun things too. She got a new barbie that she can play with in the tub, a really loud, singing, dancing elephant from Gma Z, a new movie that teaches her about letters from Nanai, some more necklaces from Gma Z, and some treats! She is lucky!!

Please and Thank you

Mahal is so stinking cute! We love her so so so so much and she has started to be so polite. She now says thank you and please for everything. She also has started saying sorry. I don't think that she realizes when the right time to say it is, but she is so cute when she says it. Yesterday morning, i had to wake her up to go in and teach aerobics. I tried to wake her up and all she wanted to do was sleep. I wrapped her blanket around her and picked her up, went outside and put her in her car seat trying not to wake her up. Thinking that she was sleeping, with her eyes closed she said, Mom i go, I go mom. I tried not to laugh but then she said, bye dad, bye dad and was then wide awake! Wow I love her! It's hard to think I could love any other child as much as I love her! Adrian thinks the same! She is the light in our lives!
She is really into movies now. I try to limit the amount of T.V. and movies we watch because I don't want her to be a lazy couch potato, but she sure does love her movies. Her favorite movie right now is Finding Nemo. She says Nomo; i watch Nomo. She could watch it over and over and over again! I can't wait for summer! We will be outside everyday!
