Silly Faces

My mom got peanut this book for her birthday and we have just gotten around to taking pictures of her, hope you all enjoy it as much as we did!!




I think this has to be my favorite one!!

Portland trip

Here are a few pictures from our trip up to the Great Northwest. All I have to say is that it is BEAUTIFUL!!

Here is our stop to the Portland Temple

Our stop to the side of the freeway (Mt. Hood in the background)

For those of you who watch "Little People, Big World", you all know that they live on the outskirts of Portland. So we decided to go out to the farm and see what we could see. When we got there ofcourse the farm is closed until pumpkin season, so we had to settle for the sign at the beginning of the driveway, but you just wait until pumpkin season and we will have more pictures from the farm. (sorry about the formatting, still really haven't figured it out)

Wehilani's first airplane trip

This past weekend we were able to go up to Portland to find a place to live. It was Wehilani's first trip on a plane. I was really worried that she would fuss the whole time and be one of those babies that crys the whole trip, but she was great. She played, well, as well as one can play on a plane, for about an hour and she finally bit the bullet and fell asleep. She slept the rest of the way until the plane landed and was wide awake for the rest of the trip.

Man I feel old!!

Tonight Gray and I went to the temple and we got a babysitter to watch Wehilani. After picking up the babysitter and giving her instructions on the peanut's bedtime routine, I had this flashback to when I used to be that young woman sitting in the passanger seat getting the instructions. It was just a weird feeling and a sad realization that I am getting old.

Thank you Grandma Ronk

For Wehilani's 1st birthday Grandma Ronk got her an Amish Rocking Chair. It is just the most beautiful chair I have seen, the workmanship is beautiful and I know this will be something that she will have for the rest of her life. With that said, last night we had Subway for dinner and after I had finished my drink, Wehilani thought that she would be a "big girl", well she is one you know :), and she decided to take my drink and have a sip. She walked around with it, played with the straw and sat and relaxed in her new rocking chair. Enjoy!!!

Miss Spider Birthday Party

I know, Iknow, Wehilani's birthday party was 2 weeks ago, but I have just been able to get around to loading all the pictures. Her little party was so much fun, we had tons of family and friends that came to celebrate and enjoy the wonderful, but outrageously hot day, with us.

I do have to say though, never get shots the day before a big event. Wehilani had another round of shots on Friday, the day before her birthday party (her birthday is actually April 4th, conference weekend and I guess from now on, we will be celebrating her birthday the week after) and boy she was not to happy the next morning. She woke up with a little fever and just lathargic, so I gave her some Infants Motrin and she fell back asleep. Well we ended up taking her over to Aunt Jenny's in her jammies, without a bath, hair not done (see pictures below) ,

and still sleeping. When we got there, she woke up, but I still didn't have time to give her a bath, so we got her dressed and we went about our day. Well she fell back asleep, she slept for about an hour into her party and then woke up, still a little grogy, from shots and sleeping. After seeing all the people she woke up enough to go on a bug hunt and play with all the kids. After the bug hunt (thank you Aunty Booty for the bugs), we got to eat, open presents and eat cake. I just want to thank Aunty Kay for the wonderful cake and cupcake toppers (thank you Kay for all the decorations and things you got, it made everything look great), everyone loved them.

Well by the end of the party, she was feeling much better, but then on Monday she got a stomach bug that was going around and boy that is a whole other story to write about.

The Best Shoes Ever!!

When we got home today there was a package in the mail for Wehilani. It was from Aunty Malia, Uncle David, the boys and Car Car. We opened it and guess what was inside? Well Aunty Malia, being the crafty aunty that she is, had made a snack box with her name on it and put some treats inside. There were a pair of shoes and a cute bag with a puppy inside. Well I left Wehilani in the front room with Gray and I hear him laughing and I go in there and she has her shoes on and guess what they were doing? Take a look!!

These are the best shoes ever. Thank you Siufanua family. I do have to say, the first thing that she really notice was the food. This girl really is polynesian. At first she could really care less for the shoes or the puppy, but after she got used to her shoes, she didn't want them taken off. After we got home from FHE, I took them off to get her ready for bed and she tried to put them back on and after awhile she couldn't do it, so she handed them to me and stuck out her foot to have me put them on her. I put them back on and that is the video that we have.
