CHRISTMAS IS COMING SOON! I WONDER IF SANTA IS COMING?

MY NEW FAVORITE CLOTHES

Mom and me have been doing a lot of clothes shopping recently, and we found some really cute stuff!

お姫様ですI'M A PRINCESS

パパとママと３人で神社にお参りに行きました。パパとママは面白がって私をお姫様のピクチャーフレームで写真を撮りました。可愛いでしょう。。。

SURFING? NOT YET...DRAGON RIDING? YES!!!

Mommy and daddy took me to the beach again last week. This time we went in the afternoon and it was so bright. I think I like the mornings better. Daddy put me on his surfboard and it was kinda scary at first. After a little while, I got use to it and was able to keep my balance. I can't wait until next summer!

After that, we went to the park and rode on a dragon. It was really fun. Last summer there were ducks, this year a dragon and a bicycle.

LEAPS AND BOUNDS

If you don't already know, I'm a challenger! Recently, I've been pushing the limits and gaining confidence in myself. This is my newest challenge. Standing with no hands! IT'S SO FUN!!!

AT THE BEACH!

Mommy and daddy took me to the beach today! I've been a couple of times when I was younger, but didn't like it at all! The water was really warm today and daddy took me way out to the deep end. Mommy and daddy love the ocean and they want me to love the ocean too. Guess what?

I LOVE THE OCEAN TOO!

Thank you uncle Shinya for the really cute bikini!!!

FIREWORKS AND BUBBLES

2 of my favorite things in the world! FIREWORKS & BUBBLES!

kinda blurry but you get the idea

daddy used a flash on this one

BUBBLES BUBBLES EVERYWHERE!

YIPPIE!

THE TOOTH FAIRY CAME TO TAKE MY TEETH AWAY!!!! AND LOOK WHAT SHE LEFT ME!!!!

MY FIRST TEETH

It's OFFICIAL! I LOST MY FIRST TEETH YESTERDAY! And that's not a spelling mistake. I lost 2 teeth yesterday. Last night, I put my teeth under my pillow hoping that the tooth fairy would come and leave me some money, but daddy said that "since we live in Japan, I'm not sure if the tooth fairy will come all the way from Hawai'i just to bring you a little money". I tried anyway and guess what? NO MONEY! Instead, the tooth fairy left me a new OVEN RANGE/MICROWAVE! BORING! I'm gonna try again tonight!

MY FIRST REAL HAIRCUT

Well, I finally got my first REAL haircut. Up until this point, my mommy's been cutting my hair and let me tell you, she's not very good at it. Hairstylists run in my mommy's family though. Grandma and grandpa are hairstylists and have their own shop in Niigata. Mommy's sister also cuts hair and she cut mine a while ago. But that's where the talent stops. Mommy didn't inherit a drop of that skill. Last week we went to Niigata to visit my JIJI and BABA. While we were there, BABA gave me a real haircut. It was a little short at first, but it's grown out nicely since...THANK YOU BABA! I LOVE MY HAIRCUT!

STITCH AND GENIE

I got some fun toys from mommy and daddy when they went to DisneySea WITHOUT ME! Well I understand why I couldn't go, but I have to admit it SUCKS! In due time. In due time...

EXCURSION

I had my first school excursion a couple of weeks ago. It was really fun! We went to Kamogawa Seaworld. I've been there a few times before, but never with my classmates so it was kinda special. This photo is of me with my newest friend, Mr. Penguin. I think he's a Mr. anyway...

THANKS NOVUS SWELL AND MAHINA MAEDA!

I am the lucky winner of a NIXON watch that was given away by NOVUS SWELL and MAHINA MAEDA! My daddy helped me enter the contest and I won! I can't believe it! Thanks MAHINA! WOW, we have the same name. Is yours Hawaiian or Japanese? Mine is Hawaiian, and my daddy gave it to me. Mahina Ke Aloha. It means the beloved moonlight. I watched your profile video on NOVUS SWELL and you are such a good surfer girl. So cool! I hope to one day be able able to surf too. Thanks again and hope to meet you someday!

I LOVE MY MOMMY!

TODAY'S MY BIRTHDAY!

Yay! Today's my birthday! I'm 5 years old now! Yatta ze! I already had my party last Sunday, so I want to thank mommy and daddy for the yummy cake, bathtub toys, ( I think daddy wanted them more ), Aunty Shary and SL8R for the bunny, which I named CHAPPY, and all the other gifts they sent me. Now that I'm 5, daddy said I can start sleeping later if I want to. No thanks daddy. I like waking up at 4 am. hehehe!

NAP TIME!

This is mommy and daddy's favorite time of the day. MY NAP TIME! Can you blame them? Look how cute I am! My pillow's name is Penny. She's a hippo.
