Happy New Year 2013...

We had a New Years party for the kids: we celebrated the new year eastern standard time!  Some of the kids made necklaces with flower cut outs and straws I had leftover from an activity I had done with the 8-11 year old girls at church.  We went outside at 9:00 pm to celebrate the new year! The kids loved the poppers, of course!!

Cutie Colin!

On New Years Day I made cute bentos for a picnic lunch in the park.  Bok bok!

On January 2, I tried my hand at making a lime pie from homegrown limes my friend gave me.  It was delicious!!!!

Ice skating!!!

We went ice skating with uncle Lee, cousin Libby, and friends.  It was a fun time to be had!!!

This was Gavin's first time ice skating.  He got to where he could move on his own!  Nice effort!

Attention from Uncle Lee and daddy!

Utah Trip Day 2

Sleeping in a hotel can be hard since you are all in one room.  Gavin was nice enough to give Colin some books to read, though!

Swimming with cousins!

Happy 4th of July!!!

We did a pool party and bbq in the early afternoon.  Look at cutie Colin with Philip!!

In the evening we had a bbq at my parents' house, followed by fireworks.  Cute sunglasses boys!

Some of the kids made necklaces.  Fun!

Then on to fireworks!

I know this picture is blurry, but I thought it looked cool!

Upside down Gavin!

My mom and me!

Thanks mom and dad, for letting us have a bbq and fireworks at your house again!
