Laughing.

I love laughing. Who doesn't?!

More than anything I love to make my nieces laugh. They are so much fun.

My youngest niece was showing me her pretty dress but she wasn't really working the camera for me like I wanted her too. So I tried to use my charm and wit on an almost three year old and it wasn't really working.

Go figure.

I had to resort to other measures...tickling.

So that finger poking her to get her to laugh, it's mine.

I was going to tickle, step back and take the picture, but then I saw what was happening...the moments we forget to remember.

I'm kinda in love with this series of pictures. Aaaand, yes I know I say that a LOT. But for reals. My cup runneth over for this little girl. It makes me smile and ache at the same time since none of my nieces live in Vegas too.



Now go make someone laugh...or laugh with you. ;)

Blast from the Past! A-woo-hooo!

My niece Kealani, loves to watch the old cartoons that my parents still have. Well when I say 'old cartoons' that means, tapes. VHS tapes.

She usually likes to watch "Bongo".

Which I love/loved this movie too, so I'm happy to watch it with her. I too like to sing along about how bears tell each other they love each other with a slap...but by the 5th time, it gets old.

So I told her to pick a new movie. She picked Duck Tales. So we stuck it in, and just like riding a bike, when the theme song came on I automatically started to sing with it. I had to laugh at myself kinda surprised that I remembered the words like I watched it yesterday.

I thought you might want to take a little trip down memory lane with me too...I found the theme song on YouTube. Enjoy.


(seriously though, this theme song is like the Kenny Loggins soundtracks of cartoon theme songs, right?!)

They will reunite...

...yet again! I'm sure Mandy (my dog) is looking forward to it! :)
I'm so excited for next week! I miss my sister and my cutie niece!!


Bonus...all three nieces will be together again next week! Good times all around!
Here they are with Grandma and Grandpa or I mean "Gamma Nila" and "Papa".

Kealani

Here is my oldest niece, Kealani. She is slowly becoming jaded about getting her pictures taken. She is only five. I take most of the responsibility for that. hahahaha! But I loved this shot I got of her in front of my parent's house.She looked a lot like me as a little girl. But I think she is finally coming into her own. I know I don't have those gorgeous light eyes! I'm so jealous! But I did have that curly out of control hair. Poor girl, I feel her pain when it's time to brush out those curly locks!

Picture of the Week

Grandma and Grandpa Wong bought the oldest granddaughter a red wagon for her 5th birthday. And she went for a ride with her little sister.

More fun pictures from the birthday party to follow.

Jordan is one!

I can't believe that Jordan is one. She turned one last month, but they weren't able to come and visit until this weekend. Jordan is T-H-E happiest baby. She is such a good little girl and so loving. She is walking...I mean running around now. She is teething, so as you will see in all the pictures she slobbering all over herself! Poor kid! :) Her happy disposition is so great. I miss them so much and wish they lived closer.

Here are a few from just two hours of being around her...I probably snapped over 300 pictures. Yes, I'm THAT crazy auntie! hahaha.




The CUTEST THING! She discovered her reflection in the bumper of grandpa's truck.



I'm sure I'll show more once the weekend is over.

Okay! Okay! I'm sorry!!!

I'm sorry I haven't been around lately. I have been dealing with quite a few things lately. I was scolded by a few people for having not updated in a while.

Well here is one of many reason why I haven't been around lately:

My 8 month old niece (who is now the size of a 12 month old!!) came to visit from Texas. She is adorable and a total sweetheart.





And yes, those cute chubby cheeks are very kissable! :)


So that is one of the many VALID reasons why I haven't been posting lately. I'll throw out some of the others soon! Promise!

The Ham

Yep. I just called this kid a ham...the proof is in the pictures! :)

My Three Nieces

Just a teaser of some of the many pictures we took last weekend...from youngest to oldest.

Jordan is 3 months. there are some cute ones of her awake,
but I just can't help that I love this one!

Kaitlin will be one on Halloween.
So crazy that she is almost a year old.
Look at those BIG eyes!

The official ham of the three. Kealani. She is aaallll about posing goofy for her Auntie Lori (or as she says Loowee).
I can't wait to show you more of her. So funny this one.
