Merry Christmas

Anyone who knows me knows that I love celebrating. This year I had the decor up super early. I love the holiday music, the lights, the spirit of everything. I hope that everyone is enjoying this season as much as we are!!

I love that my kids try to be patient with their mommy!

Papa and Kekoa. I took the kids to the "Enchanted Snowfall" in Tucson. It was pretty cute, and looked like real snow. But after inhaling it we realized it was some type of foamy soap. We had a great time though and the kids thought it was amazing. It actually has snowed at our house before, but not since the kids were born. They even served free hot cocoa and had a band playing Christmas music.

Afterward we went out to dinner to pei wei. Koa gave Maiya's back a workout with all his jumping. He is one busy little man.

Kea and her smiley eyes. What a piece of sunshine!!

Kealani was so excited to sit on Santa's lap. She loves singing Christmas songs every day as she counts down to the 25th. She decided to ask Santa for a new little kitchen...which actually worked out quite perfectly! :) When Koa got to Santa's lap it was chaos! Tommy and I busted up laughing. A friend took the pic, so eventually I will post it. I'd be scared on the lap of someone with all hair and no face too!

Love them so much!!!

Merry Christmas to all of our favorite people. We hope you have the happiest holiday season, and the best new year! We love you!!

Love,

The Crofts

The last few months...

We have really been having a great time, just a few pics to show you what has been going on.

They always keep me laughing :)

Nani(Rhianna) and Brad came to visit. Lots of swim time, games, and laughing!

We had a lot of fun at the little splash park in Tucson. This is Kealani with her friend Lexie Egbert

My cute little squishy bear that I love so much!

Papa and Kea engaging in a princess sword fight.

We call Koa the store manager. He loves this little box of plastic foods and guards over it. We have to ask permission to play with any of it.

Tommy pitching for the game. The very last game of the season he ended up with a pretty serious contusion to the shin. He couldn't walk for a couple days, but it healed quickly after that. We love to watch him play!

Mommy and little Koko bear

We went to Cali and visited GG. She took us to Apple Annies and some other fun places. Even Kea's first trip to Chuck-E-Cheese's.

Kea loves putting stickers on her little brother. It was so funny to see Koa with a "nice" sticker on his forehead, I am so glad Kealani approves of him.

My cute little princess! She is always ready for a picture :)

This is Kea's idea of a hug for the camera. Poor little guy! And look at that sass in her eye!

We headed up the mountain near GG's house. It was so beautiful. Tommy is the one taking the picture...I'm the one holding Koa :)

We went to Crab Pot for lunch. Our friends from AZ, Becky and Jesse, came along with.

Kealani loves water and just had to splash through the fountains at Irvine Spectrum.

Our trip to Colorado was such a blast!!! We visited our best friends, Ryan and Becky Galbraith and their 2 kids. Here are all three girls, Shay, Lexie, and Kealani

This pic just melts my heart. Kealani and Lexie are so cute together and had so much fun running around and being the best of friends.

Becks took some pics for us, she did such a great job.

Every night Kea has me say, "best friends", to which she replies, "ever together!"

The two men is the world that melt my heart!!]

Kealani and Shay having fun at the water park. This place was such a blast!

Daddy and K

Mommy and KK

Bear is the most ticklish kiddo I have ever seen. I love to hear his little laugh!

Ryan and Becks. We headed out for such a fun date night with our best friends. Seriously fun does not even describe the time that we have with these two. We spent the night laughing at everything. It was also Ry's birthday so we were glad that we got to celebrate with him.

Me and Becks

I love this chica so much. She is the most beautiful, talented, caring, and funny person I know. When we get together we can talk, laugh, and cry for hours. We went to bed so late every night but it was worth it. Besides my hubby and kids, she is the person to make me feel so happiest. I am so thankful for you Becks!!!

Fall yummies. I was so excited for the fall season that I kicked off making cinnamon rolls, Pumpkin cheesecake bars, prickly pear jam, and pumpkin butter. So good!

Tommy and I at the Jack Johnson concert. It was such a fun night, good friends and awesome music. Our favorite is the little bits of Hawaiian music here and there. Loved it!

Kealani absolutely loves to dress up and wear makeup. She is my little girly girl.

Kea baby

I love my little mini me. So much attitude.

My kiddos love everything music. Almost everyday we are singing and dancing to music. Whether it is on the ipod or playing the piano we love it!

My little bear getting excited for Halloween.

We decided to dress bear as a little bear. Maiya made the most perfect costume! So cute and cuddly!

Kealani is my bug, so she dressed as a little lady bug.

Kea was accidentally given some butterfinger...further confirming my suspicion that she has a peanut allergy. Here she is with her eyes swollen shut in an oatmeal bath after throwin up tons. And she didn't even swallow the butterfinger, she spit it out and soon as she tasted it I guess. We now have an epi pen just in case.

Tommy was elvis, koa a bear, Kea the bug, and mommy...well, Kea dressed me.

Kealani putting her dress ups to good use :) What a trooper daddy is

Kealani and Koa's favorite place to play, who needs toys!?

Kealani had such a great time doing soccer with daddy. She loved every minute of it

A few pics I took at home. I can't believe how fast she is growing up.

Kekoa turns 1 this Saturday!

Thanksgiving was spent at home. That wasn't the original plan, but it turned out so fun and relaxing.

Still so in love. I'm so thankful for a husband who works hard, is thoughtful and sincere, is an amazing leader, loves serving others, and loves me. I love that everyone who knows him loves him. I look forward to seeing him every day. He is everything to me...

He is my best friend. I love you Tommy!
