-THE LATEST FAM NEWS-

Hey to all our fam & freinds,
We'll life is going good here in lovely Hawaii. LIL" DANNY-is getting excited for school to end. Only 2 more weeks of school left to go. We are so happy for Lil' Danny because his teacher told us he is ready to move up to 1st grade. It means harder work and more homework to do but he is up for the challenge. He will have almost 2 months of summer & then he returns to school on july 31st. I (mindy) am wondering how crazy he is gonna drive me being home with his brother for those 2 months. Our CHUNKY MONKEY ROBERT-is getting chunkier everyday. He has figured out how to open the fridge & just help himself to whatever. We bought a child lock for the fridge but it took him only about an hour to figure out how to by pass the lock and still get in the fridge. Him & Lil' Danny can eat & eat & then 10 minutes later be wanting a snack. They have these huge appetites I guess because they are boys but were they put all the food we would really like to know. DANNY-is doing good with work. So far he likes being in the army. He got promoted up to an e-4 instead of being a e-3 wich is great for him. I-MINDY am doing good. Enjoying military life so far & living in Hawaii isen't all that bad but I do miss being back in the mainlands. We are very grateful of Dannys choice to be in the military because our family has been trully blessed with little things & big things that we would not have otherwise. We are excited to go on vacation & explore Hawaii this summer with our boys. There is alot to see & do on the island we live on. So to sum us all up we all are doing good and enjoyin "Family Life N Hawaii".
Luv The Jakimowicz Fam-xoxoxo

-LIL' DANNY BEIN SILLY-

Lil' Danny got some funny teeth out of a quarter
machine. Boy does he
look silly with them. He
wanted to take them
to school to show his teacher
but all I (mindy) could think of is the part of the movie in A Christmas Story where
all the kids in the class
have fake teeth & the
teacher isen't happy and
makes them spit them out:)

-HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY-

Mother's day is a time to remember all the wonderful moments that you & your mom shared, all the wonderful things your mom has done for you & remember the millions of reasons why you love your mom. Lots of people say "no one can take the place of there mom" & for me that is so true. Living in Hawaii has made me realize just how important my mom is to me & no one can step in her shoes. Until I have walked the countless miles she has walked in her shoes I will never truly know how hard or how easy being a mom was for her but am so grateful that she is my mom. And there are those people (like me) who when they were little would say "when I grow up I want to be just like my mom". Now having 2 kids & being a mom myself some days I find myself saying the same things my mom would say or doing things the same way as my mom would do. So in some ways I did grow up to be just like my mom. The older I get I can see a little more of my mother in me everyday. Everything my mom did, she always did it with love & I hope that I can be a mom to my kids just like my wonderful mom was to me. I leave you with a quote that I found & like that says

" BEING A FULL TIME MOTHER IS ONE OF THE HIGHEST SALARY PAYING JOBS SINCE THE PAYMENT IS PURE LOVE FROM A CHILD"

~MY MOTHER'S DAY PRESENTS~

My mothers day was a wonderful one. My 2 boys had given me a foot spa for my feet. I don't think I will ever get up & walk again now that I have jets & bubbles to
relax my feet. I have always seen them in the store but never really thought I needed one until today:) My hubby & boys got me a new patio set for our backyard & I just love it. The fact that we have a backyard now to put a patio set is so great & the thought of being able to eat dinner sometimes outside with the nice cool breeze of Hawaii has me so excited. Or to just be able to relax & drink some lemonade while my boys play sounds
so wonderful. This will truly be a
mothers day I will not forget. My first mother's day in our
"Family Life N Hawaii"
love-xoxo

**PRESENTS FROM THE HEART**

Lil' Danny's mothers day gifts.

He had made me these mother's day gifts at school. I could feel the love that Lil' Danny put into these gifts when I opened them up & it made me feel so special & lucky to be a mom. Now I can truly say that I know how my mom felt when her kids would make her gifts at school. Even though my son put that I weigh 3030 pounds, the fact that he thinks I am as PRETTY as a PRINCESS & he wouldn't TRADE me for a VIDEO GAME fills my heart & makes me feel so blessed to have Lil' Danny as my son. The love that comes from gifts handmade with love by your child are PRICELESS!!

~SOMETHING WONDERFUL TO READ~

Dear Fam & freinds,
Today I had received a wonderful e-mail from a very good freind back home. This e-mail had really touched my heart by what it said in it. At the end of this e-mail there was a wonderful quote that I loved reading & it inspired me to share it with you in hopes that in some way you take a little something from this quote like I have done.
“MAY TODAY THERE BE PEACE WITHIN YOU. MAY YOU TRUST THAT YOU ARE EXACTLY WHERE YOU ARE MENT TO BE. MAY YOU NOT FORGET THE INFINITE POSSIBILITIES THAT ARE BORN OF FAITH IN YOURSELF AND OTHERS. MAY YOU USE THE GIFTS THAT YOU HAVE RECEIVED, AND PASS ON THE LOVE THAT HAS BEEN GIVEN TO YOU. MAY YOU BE CONTENT WITH YOURSELF JUST THE WAY YOU ARE. LET THIS KNOWLEDGE SETTLE INTO YOUR BONES, AND ALLOW YOUR SOUL THE FREEDOM TO SING, DANCE, PRAISE AND LOVE. IT IS THERE FOR EACH AND EVERY ONE OF US."

ROBERT BRINGS US LAUGHTER:)

Today Robert brought us laughter. As you will notice he is thinkin very hard about what he should do. We assumed he's thinkin hmm....play with my toys, watch television, pick on my brother Danny., get a snack. But as you can see we were wrong and he decide he wanted to be Mrs potato head instead. I (Mindy) hurried and grabbed the camera to take a picture. We all were laughing so hard & Big Danny said "Robert you are weird". (weirdness runs in our family so he fits in perfectly) Then Lil' Danny said to Robert "Robby, the potato head puts stuff in it's butt so you need to have stuff in your diaper to be a potato head silly". We'll good thing for Robert because he did have stuff in his diaper, only what was in there wasn't very pleasant smelling. One of the million reasons why we love

Robert, he always has a way to bring us

laughter & we hope that he has brought a little laughter to you all as we'll. Never a dull moment around here in our "Family Life N Hawaii"

Luv-xoxo The Jakimowicz Fam:)
