3 exciting things!

Aryn is our lively 4 soon to be 5 yr old on "The 4th of JULY" who has successfully finished Preschool and is well prepared for her first year to Kindergarten! She has really enjoyed attending Kamehameha's Preschool Program, and we have enjoyed seeing her grow as parents. We are grateful that she was able to be apart of MISS ANNETTE's class. Today was Aryn's last day as a preschooler, and they went out with a bang and had goodie bags, splash day, a fab lunch menu. It was a great way to say "A Hui HOu"

Our twins Jaron and Kennan are 2 1/2 years old, and have successfully mastered POTTY TRAINING 101, for the past month. I'm so proud of them, it literally took me one week! We needed to have them trained before school started! They have been selected to attend Kamehameha Preschools 3 yr old program this year. I am so pleased that they were BOTH chosen. Sadly they won't be in the same class, but I'm crossing my fingers that through this seperation they will become more independant! I'm excited to know that they are #1 going to an awesome school and #2 this will be my first time in 10 yrs that I will have no little ones at home (Jaw dropping) I still can't get over it!...I think this would be a great time to break out my book of goals huh?

All of us at our oldest Child "Amari's 5th grade graduation" from Kealakehe Elementary School! His moving on with the Big Dogs, in Intermediate........This transition from child to young adult is such a vital point in any childs life! I am so proud of him. Besides the crazy heat, no parking and no seating during graduation.........it was all worth it to see my HANDSOME BIG BOY strut down the cafeteria and accept his handshake as his name was called! It really made me realize just how much time has passed, and how much Amari and I have been through together as MOMMY and SON! From being a teenage mom and him being pretty much my baby in training, to single mommy, all the way to now 6 kids later.......I appreciate his help with his siblings and for calming me down when I sometimes get out hand, I'm grateful that he is so forgiving when things go sour, and I mostly love him because of who he has become!

I found this quote:

The moment a child is Born the mother is also born. She never existed before. The woman existed but the mother never, A MOTHER is something absolutely NEW!

It has been so overwhelming these past months, knowing what's in store with each child. All 6 children with major life preparations coming their way and me wonderfully witnessing these sweet successes in their lives! I feel so honored to be called their MOTHER~ I love you
