An Additional Playmate

The day Uncle D completed his last college final, he hopped on plane to Boston. His week long agenda included visiting potential grad school campuses and attending lectures with M. The primary motivation behind cross country trip was to spend time with his one and only niece. Our amazingly talented friend E captured these adorable pictures, check out her blog for more pictures.

Cake and Ice Cream

We celebrated K's birthday at Aunty S's house in Layton, Utah. Grandparents flew in from Hawaii and drove up from Arizona to be there for this special day. K enjoyed some new playdates, ate some delicious teryiaki, and caught up with friends and family. Her highlight was the personal serving of cake and ice cream.

K's number 1

We are leaving tomorrow to kick off K's first birthday celebration with family and friends. We made this "Year in Review" video for K, we're sure someday she'll appreciate it.

Almost One

Over the weekend, our dear friend Stacey captured these darling photos of K as a part of K's upcoming one year celebration. Thanks to a bag of fruit snacks, we were able to encourage occasional smiles and moments of temporary thumb removal.

One Little Indian

Besides learning how to wave and say "hi", M has taught K how to connect with her "native" side. Don't worry, we plan on teaching K the proper way her people dress and act, she's just so cute. K will also learn how to connect to her Hawaiian and Chinese side as well. ;>)

Happy Birthday Uncle B

The Power of Frybread

M's most requested meal item is frybread. He enjoys it with hamburger stew or substituting mini-sized frybread instead of a bun for hamburgers. This one is one of his favorites; slow cooked pot roast, lettuce, tomato, onions and frybread. For the past few weeks, we've been dealing with insurance companies, trying to find a new car, and recovering from being sick. M's the main one managing it all, so to show my appreciation, I am making all his frybread favorites.
