Playing Water Yesterday was a beautiful day outside and so we took advantange of the warmth and played outside. Kaai worked on the new playhouse he is building for Kalei and we decided to play water. The water was freezing but it was fun anyway. Kalei had fun making the boat go in circles Say cheese! Even Hala'i tried her feet in the water, She didn't like! Our litte "white" hawaiian girl. Sisters! Pretty in Pink! I have been dieing to get the girls matchin outfits but I have to wait till Hala'i is a little bigger. So the next best thing was matching colors. I thought they looked so pretty. I even got lucky and got a smile out of Hala'i. Priceless...

It was another great week for Ursua family football. Sadly JohnJohn was sick and was unable to play, but mom said he is better and should be good for this coming week. Although his team did pull out the victory, but i don't know the score. Kealakehe Vs. Waiakea Varsity did awesome this week, winning 58-12. Kealakehe's Jordan Ursua (5) speeds down the sideline headed for the end zone while returning a second-quarter punt for a touchdown during the Waveriders' 58-12 win over Waiakea Saturday. Ursua is being pursued by Waiakea's Douglas Vares (35), left, and Kristofffer Daquep (45), center. SUU vs. N. AZ Another bummer for SUU this week, they lost 19-14, but it wasn't for a lack of trying. Hard fought game but they are still working out a lot of kinks. However dispite the upset the highlight of the game for me came early in the forth when Jared caught a pass to score SUU's second touchdown. He also got to play a couple plays as QB.

Sadly to day is game day and I am stuck at home unable to support any of my brothers. First Uncle Jared plays N. AZ, and I just found out from my mom he will be playing starting QB not to mention tonight is SUU's homecoming game. This is why is sucks only having one car...Blah! Anyway I wished him good luck and I will be cheering for him no matter what happens. Later tonight Kealakehe plays Waiakea. Little brother John got sick yesterday and will be out for tonights game, which means he must be really sick because this boy never sacrifices a game, cold or growing pain...litterally. But we hope he gets better and he should be back next week. Uncle Nai'i should be playing QB this game and hopefully the team has less mistakes this week and came pull off a big win! On a side note, my mom called to telll me about this article that the Hilo paper wrote on Nai'a and the game he had last week. It is amazing to me because the Hilo paper always writes great articles about Kona teams,...

Only 2 months has pasted but Hala'i has grown so much. She gets up in the morning with a big smile everytime and squacks to who ever will listen. I have a feeling she will be a talker like Kaleila'a. Her lasted mileston though is rolling over, when laying next to me on my bed she somehow wiggles her way to be right up against me and when I get up she gets enough momentum to roller over. She has done it a few times but she usually starts on her side, this morning however she was on her back and rolled to her tummy. It was cute. 2 Months... 2 Fast!

Growing up I loved music but didn't really start listening to it on my own until I was about 11 or 12. Until then whatever I listened to was what my dad played in the car i.e. UB40, Hoaikane, Ka'au Crater Boys, or what he played at home like on christmas we never went without listening to Stevie Wonder and Jackson 5...NEVER!. So as grew up I was exposed to whatever my dad listened to. In about the 6th grade I wanted to listen to stuff in my room so I took my dad record player and put it in my room. Now remember this was the 90's already but my first music player was his record player, and the only records he had was Stevie Wonder recorder. Classics. This is where I first heard, Master Blaster (later remixed by a young local singer but I never thought he did it justice), Happy Birthday, Isn't she lovely, Love's in need of Love, and an unknown song call I am singing which he sings in African, French and then English. Now in my family this song is special because back ...

Once upon a time when Kaleila'a was a tiny baby she would fall asleep in her daddys arms. Now two years later her little sister has found the same comfort. **Notice the line of drull down Kaai's hand, she was tired...

Although we were not able to watch this weekend my 3 brothers played some good games. First Uncle Jared played against Montana. They lost but Jared did get the ball three time for about 16+ yards. Nothing amazing but atleast it was someting. I am still very proud of him for his hard work and dedication to the team. They are a young team and they will come around. Next came our hawaii boys. Both Nai'a and John play for Kealakehe Waveriders. John (Kalanikoki) plays JV wide reciever. According to mom Kalanikoki scored one touchdown and helped with the extra point. JV won Hilo 38-6. Now Vars was a whole nother game. According to mom this game was totally fustrating, cause Hilo refs suck big time. Talk about JUICE! Bad calls from the refs and silly mistakes from Kealakehe made it difficult to play as well as they should have. Although the highlight for me is that Kanai'a stepped up and played quarterback. For weeks now everytime mom and me talk the conversation goes to Nai'a and...

This weekend was super fun. My whole framily got to take advantage of moms flying benefits and came up to go to Jareds first home game. Everyone came from my Mom and Dad plus all three of the kids. It was exciting for them because it was the first time they got to met Hala'i. Hala'i mets Grandma Ursua Hala'i mets Grandpa Ursua Hala'i mets Uncle Nai'a Hala'i hanging out with Aunty Kani'ai (Aia as Kalei call her) We spent the weekend eating and laughing. Then they hightlight was the game. Jared (my brother) goes to Souther Utah and plays football. This was their second game of the season but their first home game so it was exciting that we could be there as a family to support him. And his highlight was when he scored the first touchdown for his team. Unlce Jareds scores for his team! A diving effort, but it started the game out with a bang! We were very proud to be there to see it. After the game we got to take pictures all together which if we are lucky ...

The other while hanging out at Aunty Audz's house, Kalei and Kanoe decided to dress up like princess. Now this is the first time Kalei has ever done something like this. I was afraid that with her love of trains and cars that she might not be ver girlie. However that has changed since hanging out with Kanoe who has many girlie things. Now Kalei know who Barbie is and even has her own baby who she enjoys taking care of (sometimes). Watching her play dress up was the cutest thing although to be honest she cared more about the shoes then the dress which was so me when I was young. She is really becoming quite the little girl.
