Daddy's Birthday and 4th of July

The girl ready for church matching (even headbands I made) so fun when you have all girls although Katelyn is not as into it as she use to be!!Image Eric was in Maui for his birthday so the girls and I planned a Fourth of July Party/Daddy's surprise birthday for the weekend when he came home. The girls were so excited they made signs and decorated the house we invited some friends over we ate, played the wii, and later lite off fireworks during an Island wide black out (you couldn't even see you hand in front of you) scary Fun!ImageImage This little stinker snitched a cupcake while we were busy getting ready for the party and she just smiled. Our flag isn't quite right!

Ho'olaulea 2010

Katelyn's performance at the end of 3rd gradeImage Watch out boys!!
Image Katelyn was so bugged she had to be in between two boys who didn't know what they were doing and goofed off most of the practices, if only she would despise boys for another 15 years!

Katelyn's 9th Birthday

Katelyn is our oldest and you can tell she likes to be in charge and bossy, but yet is very tenderhearted and seems to worry about everything (my older brother always cried and worried) must be an oldest child thing! We love her to death she is happy and full of energy she wanted to do a huge slumber party this year and I talked into a big gift small party, especially after Ryken's!Image Her cool lime green flower cake!
Image Her with one of her besties Olivia this girl could be another daughter we all love her so much!
Image Her with her little sis Gracie who gave her the hula hoop!

Ryken's First Birthday

Image A cute one year old!!
Image
Image She loves babys


We had Ryken's Birthday at the park in town it was extremely windy and crazy but that is how this little girl is CRAZY!! We invited tons of friends since we have lived in Hawaii for 5 years and she does have a Hawaiian middle name it is time to start with other Hawaiian traditions HUGE first year baby luau's!! We made homemade root beer, sloppy joe's, potato salad (not traditional luau food we are quite to that point), and played water volley ball and other games. It was fun for everyone!
Image My friends made this way cute banner and the wind held it against the wall just great!!
Image Ryken is One!!! She is such a big girl she is running, climbing and into everything. She is a happy little girl and a blessing to have in our life.

ImageWe played games you usually play at baby showers and the kids had a ton of fun this is guess the candy bar in the diaper

Image And who can drink the bottle of juice the quickest
Image Ryken's Cake LOL! COSTCO not what I expected! It was suppose to be a little girl by a car since she was born in a car on the side of the road one year ago! This looks like a lady with boobies coming out of her armpits!
Image
But she enjoyed the cake!!
