Playdate w/ Emily, Tanner and Sydney

So fun to see the kids play together and catch up on what's been going on. Must do it again soon!

Snow, snow, snow!

I don't think I was expecting how cold and snowy it was going to be this winter! It sure is pretty, isn't it!

We've taken Emily outside in the snow a little bit, but with all the layers (we don't have a very warm and well fitting snowsuit), its hard for her to move and with all the snow, again it's hard for her to move.... Somedays we just sit in the highchair and play with bowls of snow and that seems to suffice her curiosity of all the white powdery stuff from outside.

I hope you all are enjoying the snow and excited for the upcoming holidays. Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Stay Warm,

Reiko, Peter, and Emily

Trick or Treat

Keiani had a wonderful Halloween. We all dressed up like hippies :) We headed down south to my moms house in Sedro Woolley to go trick or treating and go to the childrens parade in downtown. Keiani was so cute and so amazed by all the other kids dressed up. She made alot of new friends that day.
After a long afternoon of fighting through the crowds, and parents chasing there sugar powered kids we decided to head home but not before keeping our tradition alive with Terry and Chasity (and now baby Sophie). We headed out to dinner dressed up and silly. At least this year we werent the only ones looking rediculous. We had a great dinner and all passed out once we got home.
Next stop Thanksgiving!
Watch out Turkey here we come...

Happy Birthday

Just wanted to say Happy Birthday to all the kids! Now that everyone is 1!!! Hope everyone is having a great summer!

Emily's 1st Birthday

The year has gone by so fast! I can't believe all our babies are turning one already. Such a fun year.



Emily enjoyed her first birthday, playing with her balloons and bubbles, opening gifts, and showing off her walking skills to the family. I think her cake eating/playing was very "mild" to most 1st birthday experiences. Emily licked a little of the frosting (whipping cream), crumbled the cupcake with her hands a little, ate a bite or two and that was about it. I think she was a little shy since everyone was watching her so intently.



I hope everyone is having a great summer and fun time with their new "Toddler."

Keiani is One!

Keiani 1! Yeah! She had so much fun at her birthday poor girl was so tired after it was all said and done. She had a blast playing with Sydney and Emily though! You guys missed the Birthday cake it was so funny. She went face first and got it every where she was completely covered by the time we took her out of her seat.

We had her 12 month check up on Friday and she weighs 24lbs and is 31in tall. She is in the 85% for weight, 98% for height, and 85% for head size. She also got 4 shots, she was such a trooper adn hardly cried at all.

I cant belive how fast this year has gone makes me so sad that she is no longer a baby.

Keiani is One!
