Welcome to the world...Malakai Hiku Lam!!

After all the waiting....our nephew entered the world today! Elle's very first cousin! This morning at 5:30 a.m. I got a text from Vinnie announcing the birth of Malakai Hiku Lam! We are so happy for Vinnie and Sarah! They are proud parents of a beautiful, healthy baby boy!!! We can't wait to see him!

Our life...

18 years and counting.... It was the summer of 1994 when Huy and I met for the very first time. We were at Youth Conference. It was love at first sight and very unexpected. We began talking, enjoyed each other's company and stayed together ever since.

We were married in 2003, sealed for time and eternity in 2004 and blessed with our very first girl in 2006.

We will be celebrating 9 years of marriage in September and our little girl's 6th birthday in October. We welcomed Isla (our newest member to our family) on April 28th 2011. We look forward to many more years of marriage and many more birthdays...

Elle is 5 years old! Where did the time go? So much has changed since she turned 5. For one... she refuses to watch "Tangled". We've learned that she is terrified of Mother Gothel. Therefore although we have the Blu-ray DVD we have yet to watch it at home.

Elle LOVES to sing. Elle LOVES to talk, talk, talk. From once a shy baby, she has blossomed into a charismatic, vivacious, silly little girl that has SO MUCH to say. Elle is UNBELIEVABLY FRIENDLY to EVERYONE she meets. Her spirit is SO BRIGHT! Elle is an amazing artist and can draw anything you draw. She has a photographic memory that is uncanny (Huy claims she gets it from him... which is probably true - I'll give him that.)

Everyday is an exciting day with Elle. I don't know what our life would be like without her. Elle is the best addition to our family. She still makes us laugh EVERYDAY! She is full of life and puts a smile on everyone's face.

Huy & I LOVE her SO VERY MUCH! We are truly blessed!!!

Isla is our newest addition to our little family. She is currently 5 months old and is growing up so quickly. To sum up Isla... she is "loud". For someone as tiny as she, she can traumatize you with her voice! Ever since she was 2 weeks old we noticed that her cry was very distinct and piercing. As she got older her voice got stronger. People who have heard her cry always comment that she has very strong lungs (that goes to show that we aren't exaggerating.) However what we've noticed is that she doesn't cry, she seems more like to scream. She actually verbalizes why she's upset. It's not baby crying, it's more like babbles in sentences. Isla's been talking since 2 weeks old and her babbles are getting much more clearer. She is very personable when she talks to you. When she's happy her babbles are cute and sweet with different intonation and she just melts your heart. However when she's tired and/or hungry and you bother her or don't meet her needs, she screams (which is understandable, I wouldn't like to be disturbed either).

Isla LOVES attention and she is very ticklish. She is very ticklish on her sides, front, back and neck. Her laugh is contagious and her smile lights up a room. She smiles with her eyes so you know its a genuine smile.

Isla adores her big sister and thinks she is the most funniest person ever!

Isla also loves her fingers, hands and feet. She dislikes pacifiers but enjoys nibbling on her fingers. You will often find her with her hand in her mouth.

We are so grateful for this new bundle of joy. She is more than what we wished for. We love her spirit just like her big sister and couldn't be happier with her in our lives!
