Andi turns Five!

Andi is such a big girl these days. It's hard now to remember her as a baby, I try to frequent her photo albums. She's growing into such a young lady, I love it. She had a princess birthday party, where all the little guest dressed as princesses or princes. We even had a fairy godmother. It was a blast. I made a cake with Cinderella's slipper on the top and she was spoiled rotten with presents.

Hayden working with Mommy!

Lately, I've been so busy that the sewing machines have almost become a permanent item on the kitchen table. Though, I'm lucky, Hayden enjoys sitting on mommy's lap while she works.

Hayden's Two Months...already??

It's flying is all I can say. He has his 2 month check up in the morning. But he's pushing 12 lbs and 25 inches long. He's such a ham, smiling all the time. I've waited so long to dress up a boy. The girls are such princesses and are always in dresses and bows. But I was excited to dress Hayden up in jeans a button up shirt and a hat to match. He was style. Check him out!



Here's the full pictures of his outfit.

First Grin on Camera!

Hayden got to talk to Poppie and Grammie on the phone today. Which was sweet in it's self, but while trying to catch it on camera I also caught a grin. Which is the first real one photographed. He's so handsome!

Cherry Blossom Festival

Such a wonderful time of the year as the rain turns on and the weather thinks about warming up. The Cherry Blossom is a famous tree/plant/flower in Japan and has it's own celebrated festival the end of January. We finally made it up north to see the wonder. The pictures can't show you how many trees there were, the roads are lined with them for miles. It was rainy today, but the pictures are still beautiful. We plan to mosey up there again next week!

Flying Kites

It is often breezy on Okinawa and with the girls getting to the right age, we have found a new past-time! We found just the right time to test it out with Grandad in tow!

Shuri Castle

Our family got out with Nana and Grandad to see some of the island we haven't seen yet. There are many trips to post, but the first one is of Shuri Castle. A castle that housed the king of the Ryukyu Islands years ago before the battle of Okinawa. During that battle the structure was distroyed. But it has since been rebuilt to replicate the old. It's beautiful! You'll see for your self! Enjoy!
