We're baaaaack! Vegas was a bit of a whirlwind, but oh so fun. We swam, we ate, we sunburned. And we're happy to be home. :) Taking the kids was fun. There's been a lot of changes over the past few years and they've made it somewhat family friendly. Sure, there was some stuff that their little eyes (or even my poor eyes, for that matter) shouldn't be seeing, but they did great. We had a little chat with them before we left and prepared them for the craziness that is Vegas. We took a lot of ... Read More
Mother’s Day
"I never want them to think that the whole world revolves around them, but I want them to know, without a doubt, that my whole world does." - Unknown This Mother's Day was just the way I like it: low key with fajitas. :) We had a great weekend catching up on our favorite tv shows and playing a new game I've fondly named Asian Whack-A-Mole.

Christmas 2016
I have to be honest: Christmas this year was a bit of a blur. But in a good way. After months of planning and shopping, it all went by so fast!

Our annual Friends Christmas Photo at the candlelight service at church. It's one of my favorite services of the year, to see all the candles lit and everyone in their fancy clothes and the guys without flat ... Read More
Disneyland Pt 4
My goal is to finish blogging about Disneyland before the end of the year. Keep your fingers crossed, folks. This was day 1 of 2 at California Adventure. We got in early and made a beeline for the Pier so we could get lots of rides in on California Screamin'. When we got there though, Aidon had a little freak out moment and decided he didn't want to go on the coaster after all. Which was fine by me. 9am is a little early to be scared outta my pants. Huz, Trenton and Jackson got to go on about ... Read More
Weekend Rewind
Well let me be honest: this is more of a recap of the last 2 weekends because every time I sit down at my computer I fall asleep. Or get distracted by a cooking video on Facebook, which I know I'll never make but there's something hypnotic about watching onions simmer in butter. The Washington State Fair (formerly the Puyallup Fair) has been open the entire month of September and we had almost managed to avoid the whole thing this year. But the kids get a free ticket from the school, so we made ... Read More
