Harper got a launching rocket for his birthday and we piled up the kids into the back of their truck and found a spot to launch it...after a few failed attempts, none of us were particularly attentive when the rocket shot up into the air. We ended up following it for a mile or so and even found where it landed. As luck would have it, it landed on a rooftop adjacent to a family get together that happened to be across the street, so, we had over a few dozen witnesses to the majesty of the rocket!<br />

We took the kids to a circus....after which I decided that I hate the circus...clowns:fail! Stinky poop smell:fail! Ridiculously overpriced fair food:fail! Treatment of animals:Fail! Trying to get a picture with Mexican Spiderman circus performer:fail! Waiting in line to try to get a $45 ride on an elephant: fail! The worst fail was the treatment of the performers...as I watched this guy, balanced on five different levels of OSHA UNapproved scaffolding, juggling/carrying over fifty pounds of breakable plates, fire and other random things and begging, pleading for the audience to have some type of reaction (which did not happen since everyone was so focused on getting their $10 cotton candy and $20 stale popcorn) I realized I HATE the circus and will not be attending another one again!<br />

we learn in church that there is opposition in all things, light to dark, good to evil, so...it only made sense that on the opening day of Sapporo to our little city, Baby D would have to get stitches...it was much less dramatic (for me as well as for Baby D- funny how that works) than when Max got his stitches some 6 years prior. We called our good friend/Doctor, Jeff and made a makeshift operating table on our kitchen table and within in hour or so, Baby D was enjoying the drums, fire and food at Sapporo.</div>

Pioneer day, sad to admit that as this woman spoke of her trials as a child, I stood there in horror as she described the freezing cold and how her toes had to be amputated. I kept thinking how good her balance seemed to be, it wasn't until the end that I figured she was just retelling a story of her Pioneer ancestry. </div>

This was the highlight of the day (maybe second to the Popsicles) making their own butter. Max took a big taste and was sorely disappointed...it wasn't until we got home and I put some of his butter on a slice of fresh baked banana bread that he felt his 20 mins of "churning" to be worth it!</div>

Flying home with all four kids was a task but add in no checked bags and that the flight was 6 in the morning made it less than ideal...but the kids were great and my mom's bag of treats and home cooked green onion pancakes made leaving tolerable!!<br />

Eric had court in the morning that he couldn't get out of...so, Carli & Chuck picked us up at the airport (with two cars!). Afterwards we went to Cracker Barrel. I was so excited as it was my first time and Eric and I recently watched a documentary on a man who traveled to different cracker Barrels as his life's work. Baby D sure loved it!<br />

I'm grateful for the reunion for several reasons...it brought me to Crossfit and it has been a very reflective year because of it...it was surreal seeing this handful of people whom you have known since you were in 3rd grade...Max will be in 3rd grade next year...although I haven't seen most of these people either since high school, or the 10 year reunion, it was amazing how comfortable it felt...easy like Sunday morning...which only happens when you have known someone since before puberty and all the way through it until young adulthood. My only regret is that I was so busy catching up that I only took two or three photos before hand...</div>

I'd love to say that I don't know where she gets it from, except then I couldn't admit that I injured my big toe, foolishly trying to emulate our 10-year-old gymnastics whiz neighbor while participating in the adult competitions! Food, fun, friends, and another school year down! </div>

Selfie of me and Eric...I have to say, this trip to the clay hills was a significant one for me, I have tried to be supportive of Eric in his Crossfit endeavors...but, it wasn't something that I viscerally understood, but at this point I had been attending Fit classes at Crossfit (utilizing the same principles as crossfit and motions using higher reps and lower weights) for about 6 months and the difference I felt while hiking with baby D was amazing...I was even making second and third trips down helping other nieces and nephews...I don't know when it happened...but I can pinpoint this trip as the moment I REALIZED that I had drank the Crossfit Kool-aid!!!</div>

these are the graduation hat cupcakes that I brought for the last day of school! It was a hard year for Max making the transition from Sage to Stagecoach, not having his closest friends in his class and switching teachers mid year...but through it all, I was so proud of Max for his positive attitude, his naturally friendly personality and his love of learning. He got the Laughy Taffy award from his teacher, which I think was a perfect award to showcase his attributes!</div>

I got to go on the last field trip of the year with the girls' preschool class...it was a short trip, just a walk around the block...but it was fun to see the kids and hear their excitement about each little thing they were taught. One of the things they saw on their walk was a tree that had grown from a crack in a driveway...as primary teacher, I'm always looking for object lesson opportunities...so, I will store that one into the memory bank!</div>

We purchased this bike from our next door neighbor...a while ago...so, Will kept teasing Max by telling him there was a return clause on the bike and if Max didn't learn and start riding his bike by the last day of school, Will would get his bike back...so, as the last week of school approached, I knew I had to kick it into gear...I worked with Max everyday, much to his, mine, and everyone involved chagrin!!! It was a painful task and I admit, there was much yelling, pleading and guilt-ing involved...but the moment he got it was a sweet, proud and happy moment that we will relish forever!!!</div>

Since Eric purchased Crossfit, time was immediately counting down to when he had to be certified as an L-1 official trainer. So, he signed up for the next class & test at the Park City Crossfit and we all headed over.</div>

I'm not sure what was causing those sad faces...but as I am blogging this post, I asked the girls why they thought they were sad, Lia said because I missed mommy so much (I was about a foot away from them) and Kiri said because she wanted a whole bag of whatever treat sample it is that they are holding!</div>

I guess you can tell we had a great time as this was the only picture I seemed to be able to find from the night...the surprise was going perfectly...then the Hunters showed up late and walked in about 20 seconds ahead of us and 'wasted the good surprise!' HAHAHA! It was all in good fun and Eric got a few seconds to prepare for the real surprise! There was an abundance of food, friends, laughter and fun memories made...I could not have asked for a better night! A Happy birthday to the best husband! 40 and hotter than ever!<br />

This year for Chinese New Year, we helped roll in the Year of the Monkey by visiting family in California and eating some Monkey (well, Monkey bread...and lobster noodles and CHICKEN FEET!!!) What's a dim sum meal without Chicken feet...Max is upset in this picture because he had just dropped the chicken foot on the ground and was told to only pose for the picture and not to eat it. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
When I was working on campus at UC Davis they had an opportunity for employees to submit their recipes and if they decided to incorporate one of your recipes, you got to name it and help expand the recipe to be made on a massive scale...so, my Chinese Eggplant was chosen and I named it 'A kiss from Aimei.' when asked why I chose that name...I had several explanations; food is eaten with the mouth and is a little sign of love from the chef...also that's what I would name a restaurant/Bakery if I ever owned one (which I never would) but honestly, I chose that name because every time someone ordered it, I thought it would be so wonderful to hear them say either, <br />
"I want a big kiss from Aimei," </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
or</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"I want a small kiss from Aimei." </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Either way it would make my heart happy!<br />
