 Just in case you've never seen a picture of JL's favorite birthday treat: Oreo punch bowl cake

 Swimming lessons, piano camp, tumbling, tae kwon doe, 2 camping trips, so fun!

 Sadie - 3 1/2 months

a budding photographer took this...guess who? 

 John Lee and I celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary!! I made a little cake that was similar to our wedding cake. And, this lovely cake plate was a wedding gift, and the first time I've ever used it.

And then we went to LEGOLAND!!

 We stopped by the Redlands LDS Temple. It was beautiful. This is the part of California where all the orange orchards are. In fact, the land that the Temple sits on was once and orange orchard.

More LegoLand!

And these people came to visit us while we were in California!

 Giant dinos we saw from the freeway.

And my children's new favorite play-time hero, LegoChima's Laval, keeper of the Chi.

 Look at all those cute Rorings!!

 First day of 3rd and 1st grade!

 These tiny people hang out with me all day; it's pretty much a party!

That's right, we pretty much make super-cute babies.

Maya's first day of PreK

The End is Here...

The end of the school year, that is!!

Hooray, we finally made it; Keoni finished 2nd grade and Lily finished Kindergarten!

This is Keoni's idea of keeping Sadie happy :)

Since when do Kindergartners have to do REPORTS?!? So Lily picked a Warthog...and she even drew that little one in the middle! 

 Another season of soccer has ended; Keoni on the 'watermelon smasher' team and Lily (and Coach John Lee) on the 'green dragons' team.

 Keoni's 2nd grade class put on an opera!! With the help of a local professional opera company, the kids wrote the story line and the melodies of all the songs, and painted the set. Keoni got to be a 'police dog' in an adventure to rescue the earth people from the aliens from planet A.

Cub Scout Pinewood derby!! John Lee and Keoni worked long and hard on this cute little car...and it took 3rd Place!! 

Little Sades...2 months old 

 Happy Birthday Maya!!

Kindergarten Program, love the donkey ears (pretty sure it was the EXACT same program that keoni did 2 years ago) 

Keoni's animal report and 3-D model of the amazing Platypus! 

And on the last day of school, Keoni was presented a special gift from his teacher for being the top reader in his class!! 

Pretty Sadie

Lily is such a good big sister! 

 Sadie, 5 weeks

We Blessed Sadie this week. We feel so lucky to have had so many join us for her special day! 

Our latest Family Photo 

Our Sweet Lil' Sades!

My mini-me, Lily. And my new short summer hair do! 

there were some birthdays in the house - Chocolate with truffle centers and whipped cream, and White with 'cannoli' filling and white chocolate...delicious! 

Sadie Grace is here!
