Here is Nalani the basketball player...
What she lacks in shooting ability she makes up with in sheer intimidation.
Look at this girl try to psych out her opponent...
Of course, it's hard to seem menacing if during the game you keep chewing on your hair...
We also recently celebrated the birthdays of two of our kids.
First up was Bret Jr., who had a birthday party the same time as his cousin Tyler...
Tyler's little sister Analeigh was also there, hanging out with Alyssa...
While the presents were being opened, David occupied himself with other things...
Bret Jr.'s big birthday gift was a new bike. But rather than pick out the wrong one for him, we took him to Target and let him select a bike of his own...
Naturally, he's pointing to one of the bikes on the top shelf of the rack!
This time of year also brings work for our children. Specifically, it's time to rake leaves.
Malia has her own unique way of moving leaves from the front yard to the back...
Most of the leaf raking was done by our three youngest children this year for a very specific reason. They were building a pile in which to play!
Jumping in the pile is fun at first, but after a while it gets a little boring.
So I guess it's inevitable that a leaf war has to begin...
It didn't take very long before the leaf pile wasn't a pile anymore...
We also recently celebrated Malia's 7th birthday...
It's hard to believe that our little baby is now 7 years old.
She wants a puppy, but we have a 14 year-old dog that's near blind and deaf - and two old cats. So we opted for the best kind of new pet for Malia...
It's a digital pet she can raise in conjunction with Wii video game system. That's the kind of pet I'd recommend for everyone. Much, much cleaner.
And finally, there was Halloween. Here's our posse before heading out...
It's amazing how busy life can be with 6 kids!
