I have a lot that I need to catch up on. The computer is still acting funny so it's been hard doing any updates! So I'll make this as quick and thorough as possible! A couple weeks ago, Keane and I went to a tots learning class at the LA zoo. It was SO MUCH FUN!!! We loved it!!! We started with a little class time learning about some different animals and Keane got to pet a snake!!! Then we got to go into the zoo. Each child got a little backpack that had lots of information and toys to learn about the animals in the zoo! As a large group, we went through the zoo! There wasn't anyone else there except us! LOVED IT!!! I must've looked like the crazy mom, cause I didn't bring the stroller and let Keane run the whole time!! He was in heaven! Beach TimeTook Keane to the beach as it's getting a little cooler her in So Cal. Laine thought he'd try to take him out on the board. Keane was not having it, but we seemed to be enjoying ourselves ;) I'm gonna end this here in case Bessie dies on me. We are shopping for a new computer, so hopefully, this won't go on for too long!! But I have more to share!! I'll update soon!!
Blessings! xox

My sweet ol' laptop computer, Bessie, took a severe beating last weekend by Keane. He wants so badly to be like mom and dad working on the computer, but this time it was just a disaster! It has actually been fixed, but the Internet connection still needs some attention. So, I'll only have a few pictures from my phone until I can get in some computer time. This blog update is all via mobile site. Last Sunday was Grandparents Day! We want to send special wishes to Great grandma Evelyn Furukawa,Great grandpa Alex Furukawa,Great grandma Alice Etherton, Great grandpa Jerry Etherton, MamaLew and PapaLew, Grandma Faye Furukawa, Grandpa Ken Furukawa, PapaJoe and OmaGigi!! We love and miss you all! Each of you have a special place in our hearts. xox We went to a friends for dinner this week and they have 3 amazing boys! Their youngest is only 4 weeks apart from Keane! Keane always has the best time with them! And he'd never pass on opportunity to bath with his buddies!! Ha! This was so fun!!! We had another fun trip to the zoo I can't wait to share, but it's on my other camera and I'll have to wait for Bessie to work correctly before I can post about it! Sorry such a short update! moowah! 💋 Wow! I did it again! Another month just flew by and I barely got any entries in!! This last month has mostly been about getting business done! And I mean DONE! Well, we can get into that on another day. As I look back, this time last year seemed to sound pretty much the same as it does now. Lots of running around, preparing for a fun winter ahead, and cleaning up after a crazy filled summer! LA is extremely hot in August! And the heat is so draining!! Check out my sleeping beauty. We do enjoy Skype-ing with the family! Amia and Keane got to chat recently! They are turning into the best of friends. I LOVE to hear my nieces' little coo's!!!! I am just gonna say it... I'm a Twilight fan!! Totally not ashamed! I had a twilight marathon party a couple weeks ago. It was really fun!!! We relaxed and ate tons of food and chatted as we watched almost 12 hours worth of teenage vampire drama! It was great! I did a little decorating, but went for more of a romantic vibe instead of the typical gothic feel of vampire movies. Despite the fact that we are so far from both sides of our families, that doesn't stop Keane from getting plenty of fun things from them!!! Thank you Grandma and Grandpa Furukawa for all the fun books!! And to Aunty LindsayAnn and Landon for the polar bear book! It's Keane's new favorite!! Keane is now 21 months old!! Can't believe how fast he's growing and just getting older! We are cherishing every moment before it all just fly's away. What a sweet blessing to have such a wonderful, healthy baby and family. Labor Day is around the corner, stay safe friends and family!! love, love xox P.S. A fun "Friends" clip to keep a smile on your face! I've been wanting to do a diapermania entry for a long time! Well, I've been learning so much about the cloth diaper world! I will have to do another entry on all the lingo, tricks, and secrets of today's cloth diapering! It's all exactly why me, and thousands of other mothers LOVE to do it!! I got these adorable tie die red, white, and blue diapers from "Hipster Fluff". A girlfriend had introduced me to the company and now I'm hooked! Here is my first purchase. It was a patriotic effort ;) hehe inner lining and insertssoaker is made of double organic bamboo fleece and cotton sherpa topped with velour. It snaps in then unsnap and clean! Frontthese snaps are made to fold over for smaller babies and infants! Pros: besides everything I already mentioned, ADORABLE!! They fit like a glove! And handmade with a very high quality! Cons: 1.)They are not completely water proof! If you want these bad boys to be worn for longer periods of time, you will need a waterproof cover. 2.)Also, I consider these to be on the pricey side (these particularly cost $40 plus shipping) - especially since I will still need a cover to feel comfortable about NO LEAKS! 3.) And this company sells on a website called "Hyenacart". Here the vendors post their products in batches at a certain time with limited supply! Once it's sold, it's gone!! Unless you are offered to do a custom order. But I personally don't have time to be at my computer at a certain time of day with my credit card in hand, ready to buy! And by the time I can get to the computer to see what's left in stock, the best ones are, of course, sold! I truly LOVE these diapers!! Now, here's for my sweet son sporting them for ya! LA ZOOWe went to the zoo with some friends last weekend! Keane's first visit to the zoo. It was nice! thanks for checking in on us!
~love, love We went to the beach with Laine two weeks ago and I got some really fun pics! Laine borrowed a fancy lens from a friend so we could take some surfing shots of him for his website. I FELL IN LOVE!! If someone wants to give us $2,000 for this lens, I will not reject it ;) Hehe Well, please enjoy the following pics! I have to tell you that the following pics of Laine are MY picks and unedited! I'm sorry, there's still some more.... He melts my heart How did I get so blessed?? Well, that was a lot of pictures! Now you know how much I love that lens!! haha, And Keane was loving the beach too, which makes for an easy photo shoot!
I have MORE pictures of the zoo! I'll have to post another time! Until then.... Oh MY!! The last day of the month and I'm going to try to squeeze in a quick entry since I didn't really share much about this month! So, mostly pics! coloring quiet timeKeane and Jonah learning to share!Sorry again it's been so long! We are busy with VBS this week, but I have some fun beach pics to share next time!!
Blessings from the Furukawa Family! xox Our week was jammed packed with fun! My parents came to visit for the holiday and finished with a little birthday celebration before they went back home. We did so much for the 4th! We started at the beach with what seemed like the rest of Los Angeles! It was packed! But we had a great time in the sand and sun! beach fun with OmaThen we had dinner and spent time at UCLA campus. There was not a sole to be found there! It was so nice for us to just run around and play in the grass at the sculpture gardens. Then we headed home for our own little light show. Thank you Auntie Shelby for the light saber! Keane loves to turn it on and play "bang things" with it!! To end our holiday week, we got to celebrate my birthday! My parents were so kind to watch Keane for us so we could go on our first date in over a year! I had the best time! And will be definitely making a point to do more date nights! We had a first time experience at a dine in theater. Which was awesome! I want to go every night! I had such a blessed birthday! A big thank you to everyone that celebrated my birthday with us! And to my parents for everything! We always enjoy your visits! Miss you guys already!!
love and God Bless! xox We've been having to stay cool this summer with fun outdoors activities! There have been a couple times we've been able to take Keane to the pool whether it at a friends place or the local rec center! HE LOVES IT!!! If we're not careful, he will just jump in without us! He's actually tried it! AHHH!!! Keane swimming away!! Good thing Laine is so good with him! He's teaching him some good basics! Here's a pic of a cool balloon hat a friend made for Keane! AND HE LOVED IT!! May not look like it in the pics, but after he realized what it was, he was all about it! Here's our friend Annabel from church! We love having playtime with our sweet friend!!! We have fun at home too!!! Here's a fun clip of Keane talking to Laine through the bathroom door! With this adorable video, I say- "goodbye!" Until next time... I feel pretty confident to say that I'm sure there are no father's that read my blog, so would all those lovely mother's send a message to your sweet men for us?!? Tell them "HAPPY FATHER'S DAY from the Furukawa's"!! Thank you!!
Sunday was a very simple day! Church, as usual. The elementary school kids did a little skit for their dads, which is always adorable, and gave all the dads a little gift. I came home and whipped up some brownies and threw up some quick decor for Laine. Keane drew Laine a little Father's Day card and that's it! Keane and I are so blessed to have Laine! Here's a great big Happy Father's Day!! xox Last week we had a family beach day and I think the pictures are perfect for a Father's Day celebration. Wanted to share some of the fun things we did this last weekend. It seems so far away already!! Saturday we spent the first half of the day in Santa Monica with sweet Cherry and her adorable little girl Addison! They are in LOVE already! At brunch, their high chairs were facing eachother and they had so much fun holding hands, and flirting! It was so funny! Afterwards, we headed over to a friends to celebrate his passing of the state bar! YAY JUNWEN!!! Lots of friends came to celebrate and the boys of the group all seemed to gravitate to the keyboard! Here they are making magic ;) Last entry I mentioned how much Keane loves it at church! Here's another shot of him enjoying his time with the older kids as they wrap him up in the evening decorative banner! HE WAS IN HEAVEN! And a little downtime watching his all time fave... UP! Stay tuned for another update of our family day at the beach. I have to upload the pics and I just need to take the time to do it.
Blessings! |
