I can hear myself think..

Ashley here, I feel as If I need to clarify, as Brandon is head blogger of this ohana. So I am sitting here in my living room.. ALONE... and it is so quiet... I can't remember the last time it was this quiet in our little apartment... If it isn't Janey screaming at the top of her longs (use your words please Janey) then it is some other baby in our building... ( I am not naming any names here *cough* Kaipo *cough*). I feel like so much is happening but when I go to blog about it I got nothin'. Brandon has just started his LAST Semester at BYU-Hawaii (woot woot).... I am trying to figure out a plan to make him fail his classes so we can extend one more summer...J/K..(kinda).. Brandon is still waiting to hear back from the Medical schools he applied to (fingers crossed). He is currently taking an early morning Jogging class, which I feel is harder on me because when he gets up at 5:15 to get ready to go, Janey is up and ready to play, and I am up and crying, obviously...

Janey is growing, growing, growing... we keep telling her to stop, we like the baby version, but she never listens... she is currently making bigger messes in the house than even Brandon, hard to believe I know... I feel like I am constantly following her around with a broom... and my apt. is STILL always a mess... She like to pull herself up on things that are dangerous like the TV, Fan, oven, bathtub etc. etc. etc. She is starting to "talk" alot... and screams even more, mostly at church... I swear she knows exactly what to do so Brandon will take her out to crawl in the foyer... We are in the planning stages of her birthday party numero uno, she is going to have a combined party with the other babies that were born in Feb. She asked if she could have a party with her friends, so we obliged...more to come on that one later...

Me.. well I am currently trying to take a daily shower... that is my big goal really... I am also searching for a part time J-O-B so Brandon can focus on his studies.... but am nervous about who will watch Janey, she is a handful these days.... I miss my sister tons, ever since she trekked it back to WA I realized how much she helped our little family unit out here, she really did help us on a daily basis, exp. with the little monster... and now she is GONE, forcing me to be independent.. WHY ME?!?! but seriously, come back Alicia...now, seriously, NOW!


We had a nice Christmas Break here on the Island... The weather was beautiful... and can you believe it, it even snowed here!!! ok, a girl can dream... we spent Christmas Eve at the Beach, then we made miniature Ginger bread houses, mine had barely any candy on it because Allyson hogged it all... go figure... Christmas Day we spent with our Neighbors the Toelupes, they were kind enough to invite us over to their family's home here in Laie for Christmas Dinner, and it was superb to say the least... They were a great bunch of people, and the food was amazing... Marvin made a mean turkey as usual.. We were definitely spoiled by our families, even with us being so far away, you guys are the best...

I think that brings us up to date.. for the most part...

The end.

Ok, to be continued.

I know what you mean I hate Moema's jogging class too...I didn't know you were looking for a job. Good luck.

Great to hear from YOU, Ashley. Not that I don't love Brandon's posts, too. We're happy to have Alicia back here and can't wait to see you guys again. When do you think you'll find out where B. will be going to Med school? Exciting times for you guys!
