Emma's 4th Birthday

Emma's 4th birthday party was Ariel's "Under the Sea" theme.  We hosted a group of her preschool and old friends at home.  Good thing we did the grass because we rented a huge water slide bouncy house that took up the whole yard.  We wished it was a nicer day so that we could use the water slide but instead, we turned on the sprinkler that Roger made.  Everyone had a blast.  One dad even commented that this was the 'best birthday party ever'.  SUCCESS =)

We were lucky to have 3 photographer friends at the party.   

Here are some pics that our friends Duc and Grace/George took.  

Here are some pics of Emma and Lani at the party:

Here are some pics of their friends:

Happy Birthday Emma!

Dearest Emma,

Happy 4th Birthday my darling princess.

We are in awe of your wicked smarts, endless curiosity, 

ball of energy, and your dramatic ways.  

Above all, we are encouraged by your compassion, your love for others,

and your ability to put others above your own needs.

We can't wait to share your adventures and listen to your stories.

We love you always, 

Mommy and Daddy

Maker Faire

It's been a busy few weeks since Emma and Roger has been back from Disney World.  I still need to sort out their photos (and Roger didn't take many) so that I can post more.  In the meantime, enjoy the following pic of Emma at Maker Faire and Lani being happy at home.

More photos to come as we head into Emma's birthday week =)

Meeting Princesses!

Roger and Emma are back from their trip to visit Nana and Disney World.  Although they were both exhausted, they had a great time staying up late watching parades, going on rides, and of course, meeting the princesses.

Here's just a sample of the pictures..more pics to come

Emma at Disney World - Day 1

Roger took Emma to Disney World after visiting Nana (waiting for them to come back to upload the pics with Nana).  Emma is in her princess phase and the goal today was to meet all the princesses, watch the parade, and have a blast!  Here's pics from the first day - via iPhone
