This is a cute site for little girl hair styles.

Update
Went to Shark Reef with a large group. It was a lot of fun. The kids loved it. This is only some of the people that went.
Kobi got a new frog for his birthday. It's belly is red. It's a red belly frog. It's kind of fun. It eats bugs. I like feeding it our crickets we get. We were told we shouldn't do that because of the possible pesticides it may have encountered, but it's cool watching it eat the bugs.

We found one of these in our house! So scary! I heard they are hard to get rid of. Haven't seen another one since. They make me nervous. I have seen kids in the hospital that have been bit by one of these and it makes them act CRAZY. Very violent.
My sister-in-law, Eryn, had a bridal shower.
Kobi had a birthday party.

Jy turned 4 months! He loves to cuddle. I love that! I think I want 1 more. Is that crazy or what. I love being a Mom. 
Kobi got Rock Band for his birthday. We had a little band. Keatyn and Jy on the guitar, Xayla singing, and Kobi on the drums. Cute band, huh :).
Every July or August there is a Korean Folk Dance Festival at Ham Hall. It's free. I took my family this year. I love going to things like this. It's great to see the traditional cultures that are part of you. The dresses and dances are so beautiful as well. I used to dance in this festival when I was younger. I did the drum and fan dances.

Kobi really wanted this metal dog for his birthday. He made it a paper home and everything. Where is it now? In the clutter of the rest of our junk. :(

Kobi
I'll have to post pictures later. I'm too lazy to get my camera. Kobi turned 9 July 28th. Crazy! I can't believe 9 years has passed. We had a little guitar hero party at my house for him. It was actually Rock band. That is what he wanted. He starting to ask more questions. Today in the van he said "Mom, I'm starting to turn darker, like black."
I said, "That's OK. If I was in the sun playing all day, I would get darker as well."
He said, "I don't want to be dark. Then, I won't be part of this family."
I said, "You will always be part of this family. The color of your skin does not matter."
He said, "But you will get rid of me like you did Blacky." Blacky was a dog my Mom tried to give us that had black long hair. We just did not want a dog at the time.
I said, "We didn't get rid of Blacky because of his hair was black. We got rid of him because we did not want a dog. We would never get rid of you, no matter what you look like." Then it was silent. I turned around and he was sleeping in the van.
It makes me sad when he talks like this. I don't know where he gets the idea of the color of his skin mattering (I guess it does matter in the world still at times.). I just don't ever want him to feel different or like he is not part of this family. It makes me sad.
On another note, he is so sweet. Last Friday I was sleeping in because I worked the night before. He brought pancakes and eggs up to me in my bed. He is so sweet at times.
