A STAR IS BORN!!!

Macy started dance class this fall and of course we had to take some pics the first day! This is her pre-dance pose for me?!?!
Ms. Anna and Molly are checking attendance and introducing themselves. Macy is busy checkin' out what Emerson (her best boyfriend!) is doing. His mama, Carleen, teaches dance at the school and that is how we got involved. Unfortunately, Emerson dropped out :(

Jumping over the "bippity boppity boo!"

Saying bye to Emerson...

SWEET MALINKO (JULY 22, 1998-AUGUST 6, 2008)

I am backtracking trying to figure out the right words etc. to post right now about our sweet Malinko... and I am having a terrible time with it...obviously I have been avoiding it. We haven't really talked about it since we had to put him down, so it makes for a hard time of typing. Since we had his leg amputated, things were great! He recovered rather quickly, he suprised us all how well he could adapt on 3 legs. He was his old self and spirit and we hoped for the best. Since the pathologist had the "whole" section to work with they did figure out the cancer was osteosarcoma (sp)? The "terrible bone cancer" that we had dreaded. However we did hope to be in the clear and thought as positive as we could!!! He had just turned 10 years old, and we all knew he should have a handful more bdays to come! Unfortunately, this was his last and became a quick downward spiral... The cancer had come back in his lungs, and had taken over, extremely quickly. It was a tough couple of days at the Aikia's (he was not able to stand up at this point) and also realizing the inevitable. He was the beginning of our family and it was so hard to do the right thing for him at this point. Regardless of you knowing what is "right", you can't help but think, "well, what if?"...He went to heaven on Wednesday, August 6th, with Ryan and myself by his side.... and I hated that day so much! As much as I try to have faith and know he is running on all fours now, it still breaks my heart he is not beside my chair as I type.

JUST ANOTHER DAY WITH FLORIDA LAKES AT THE BEACH!

Aikia's finally head to Florida!!!

Sooooooo.... these pictures are all backwards and out of sequence so there won't be a plot behind this one...I have tried to move things around and it is just not happening:(

I have decided to save myself a little heartache tonight and just go ahead and publish "as is" for your viewing pleasures. Hopefully tomorrow the blogger will be back on track and I will be able to do the switcharoonie for my next post.

This is a lil' sequence of the bobsie twins, Macy and Trey. They sure are cutie pies!

Macy, Trey and Amma
