A very Special Day

Malia, Malia,

God claims you,

God helps you,

protects you,

and loves you, too.

My sweet baby girl was baptized on Sunday.

My baby is 6

Kai had his 6th birthday on May 25. We celebrated that day with some family and friends by grilling burgers and dogs in the backyard. The next day, we went down to the Galleria for a trip to the Lego Store and had dinner at Chili's, where they sang Happy Birthday to him again. We took a break on Friday from the celebration, but started back again on Saturday with his actual birthday party.

This year we had a party in our new and improved backyard (pictures to come soon).

We did crafts.

We played a crazy game.

We even had an Optimus Prime piñata!

Kai loved all of his cool presents and his cake was delicious... especially after having to hold the last note of the birthday song extra long because the candles wouldn't stay lit!!!

Thanks to everyone who helped celebrate Kai's big day!!!

Temporary Insanity

Why do people buy dogs?

They are expensive, messy and demanding. They chew on the side of your house, they knock over your children and make them cry, and they tear up your flip flops that you only left outside because you stepped in said dog's poop the evening before.

I blame it on temporary insanity.

Mother's Day at the beach

Happy Mother's Day to everyone!!!!!

My family headed down to Galveston with some good friends and family to celebrate this wonderful day

Both of my boys love the beach, and Malia proved to be a waterbaby too!

She loved playing in the sand.... Unfortunately, it lead to this.

Ryan, Kai and Andrew had a blast playing in the water.

They rode the skim board.

They played on the boogie boards.

And splashed around in the waves.

We dug a lot of big holes, which proved to be a very good babysitter.

At one point they connected the holes with a tunnel that everyone had fun squeezing through.

This is one of my favorite pics of my sister and me.

Happy Easter part 2

Sunday started by checking out the very hygienic Easter baskets left by the bunny.

We then headed to church for an Easter festival and a very powerful worship service.

(well at least most of us thought it was powerful)

After church, some wonderful friends asked us over for lunch and we spent the afternoon playing Just Dance on the Wii (fortunately no one was brave enough to take pictures of that)

Happy Easter Everyone!!!

Our Easter started on Saturday, with a delicious dinner prepared by my mom followed by an egg hunt and dying Easter eggs.

Kelly brought over eggs from their pet chickens-- and the dye took very well to them.

Oh, and Did I mention I can make cheesecake now!!!
