A Day In The Life of A Mother: 05 July 2008
That is what I’m thinking of most these days. When I was a young girl time traveled so slow; the day was long, the school year was a life time sentence (but not the summer). As a young adult it was slow but the pace soon picked up. I think time speeds up as we experience more and as we achieve the goals or milestones we have for ourselves. Life has gone by so fast since my mission and meeting Don. Now as we have the blessing of little William time went into wrap 10.
It’s not only because each day goes by so fast and with each day he grows so much it is because as I look at William I see the next 20 years in my mind. It is a scary and exciting thing. I look forward and see in my mind his first word and his first step, his first day of school, the day he is baptized, receives the priesthood and his first temple trip. I see him as a charming 16 year old—probably a football player (RED RAIDER FO LIFE CUZZ…daddy’s insert)--and I see him serving the Lord to return back a grown adult ready to take on the world and find his career and the love of his life. During these years I hope and wish for him to be good, to do what is right, and to be strong and kind. I wish for him to be wise and smart and to have excitement in what he chooses to do. I hope he is kind and compassionate to others—that he is the friend people need. I hope he is kind and sensitive to every girl who will have a crush on him and that he will show the utmost respect and charity to the woman he gives his heart to. As all these thoughts go through my mind I realize that as his parents we have the great responsibility to be the example for him. It is a difficult challenge but one that every parent steps up to do. With Don at my side I know we will try our best to teach, serve, and love William.
1 year down...99 to go
Mom cooked up a wonderful meal for us. We had homemade lasagna, garlic bread, and this unbelievable strawberry dessert. Dad had most of it. It was a fairly low key celebration but it was great.
Mom and Dad are looking forward to next year with great anticipation and expectations are high. If you think this year was packed with new adventures stick around...the fun has just begun.
Mahalo to everyone who has made this year a memorable one for us. We will never forget all that you have done and continue to do for us. We love you all.
Love and Aloha,
Da Solomon Ohana

29th of June: Aloha From Michigan
It has been a wonderful week for my family and I. Mom just got done with her classes for the summer and is looking forward to taking some needed vacation time. We are hoping to get a chance to return to the Islands in July. We have a family reunion the dad wants to attend so that he can show off mommy and I. Dad has promised to give me my first swimming lesson in the same pond that he received his...Hau'ula Beach Park Kiddy Pool. I can't wait. I'm hoping that he teaches me how to fish and catch squid. We are also hoping to get to see Uncle Lamont and Aunt Katie in San Fran. They haven't seen me yet so this will be a first for us. We might get lucky and see my Uncle Jeff and the Ohana down in orange as well. I would love to have a picture with my cousins Syd and Jaymie. I'll keep my toes crossed.
Dad is back to work and working hard. The people at work seem to really miss him. They must really like him. Mom and I miss him as well and think he's pretty swell. Although it is "hard to say goodbye" it is always nice when he comes home to us.
Dad has spent a good portion of his time taking some pictures of me. Here are some old sledding videos and pictures, as well as some of his latest pics. He, along with all the young single adult sisters in the University Ward, and Mom, seem to think that I'm cute. Well, Mom and Dad are bias. As for the sisters in the Ward...I think that they are pretty good looking myself. But Dad says that I have a long way to go before I can be worthy of any of them. He really feels for them. They are wonderful, Dad says, and hopes that they will find peace, love, happiness, and all the our Heavenly Father has in store for them. He wishes that there were enough righteous men for each of them but that just isn't the case. He, and Mom, keep hoping though. Either way they are of great worth and He hopes that they know that for themselves. Dad says that it is a lot easier being happily married if you have been happily single.
Mom and Dad will be celebrating 1 year of marriage tomorrow...Hip Hip...Hurray. They look good together. Man how the time flies. It just seems like yesterday Dad and Mom just met and now look........I'm here. Heavenly Father sure works in mysterious ways...thank goodness. These are great times for are Ohana and we love to share them with all of you. Thank you all for checking in on how we are doing. We love your comments that you leave us. We love the wonderful titles that you have offered up and hope you continue to do so. We hope to hear more from you but until then....Love and Aloha from Da Solomon Ohana
PS. Feki, blue and white may look nice....But nothing says awesome lie RED RAIDER 4 LIFE. Love ya..

22 June: MAHALO FOR YOUR REPLY
As for this past week...Dad went back to work...BOOHOO. Mom and I got so spoiled with home. He did the dishes, laundry, cooked, cleaned, changed my diaper, relieved mom when needed, and made us laugh as often as he could. I don't know if you know this but my Dad is the funniest Dad I know. I don't know how mom and I got by but we did. We sure do love when Daddy comes home though.
Mommy is working hard as well. Making sure that my every whim is met (Diaper, Food, Fun Time, and Naps). It is a difficult challenge but my mom is a champion. She also finds time to fulfill her part time job here at the Living Center, study her scriptures, and do her homework. She is not perfect mind you but she is doing her very best and I love her for that.
As for me...I've been thinking about career paths. A few of my choices are listed below with the reasons:
- Entertainer = When ever I enter a room people want to come and see me
- Supper Model/Star = My fans are always taking pictures of me
- Vampire/Night Watchman = I'm up at night and asleep in the day time
- Clown = I'm always making Mom and Dad laugh
- Sniper = When mom changes my diaper I seem to hit her when she least expects it
- Demolitionist = Dad says I have a knack for blowing up my diaper
These are some of the career paths I've been thinking about. Let me know what you think. If you have any other suggestions I would love to hear from you.
Now for the "Caption of The Day." We had many people answer the challenge and it was tough coming up with the winning title. But after hours and hours of deliberation we went with Auntie Resa's...."What, owe you money?" A close second was Uncle Harrison's "No! My halo slipped onto my forehead! What do I do?" Congrats to Auntie Resa for being our first winner. A thank you card will be on its way. Know don't feel left bad that your caption wasn't chosen...there is always this week. Take a look under "Name DAT Caption" and give it another try.
Mahalo again for all of our Ohana for taking time out to connect with us. We aren't the best at keeping in touch but we are trying. You all mean a lot to us and we hope by doing this you will begin to realize that. Mahalo again and have a great week.
Love and Aloha,

Happy Daddy Day
Aloha everyone. This has been a great day for my Daddy. He has waited 36 years for this day and now that it is here he doesn't know how to act. He did what he usually does on a Sunday.
- He went to Bishopric meeting and Ward Council.
- We spent our first Daddy Day together in Church
- We came home and He and I had boys nap together
- Mommy cooked him a wonderful spaghetti dinner with garlic bread and Jello for desert
- G-Pa/G-Ma Holm came over to enjoy in dinner
- Daddy then led devotional here at the Living Center for the residents in the men and women's apartment buildings.
- The rest of the night will be spent putting me to bed and probably Mommy and Daddy playing Epic Duals, Settlers of Canton, and reading scriptures.
We got a phone call from G-Ma Solomon (Tutu) wishing Daddy a happy Daddy Day. He enjoyed that. In fact, he enjoyed everyone who offered up those same salutations. He plans on calling G-Pa Solomon and wishing him a happy Daddy Day later on in the evening. hope that everyone is enjoying this day as much as we have. It has been great to see Dad finally get to celebrate His special day.
Love and Aloha,
William Kawiakaopuakalaaukahi Solomon

Shaka Bra
My cousin Hookena taught me how to Shaka Bra. I haven't gotten the hang of it just yet but I'm hopeful. I got the fist pumping down like a champion. Also in this video you will here the voice of my Uncle Ricky, Aunty Sila, and my Daddy. You will also get to see my dear friend Ellie (Elizabeth Kinghorn). She is the newest member of Uncle Brian, Aunty Leah, and Alexis's Ohana. She is cutie.
