Birthday parties and dinner get togethers

Rorke's birthday party...they had the cutest invitations that had a picture of Rorke dressed up as Buzz and Woody...so cute!
We had to have a long talk about how the present was for Rorke and to not hover or be upset after he gave it to him.
Birthday hat...we are eternally grateful!

Rorke blowing out the cake...

Coolest Toy Story cake Ever! Lynlee made it herself!


Dinner with friends...Max and I wore our Jeremy Lin pride shirts! Thanks April and Nick for having us over...Spam and Musubi sometime for sure!

Her name is Lily and Max kept calling her 'Willy' and her brother Asher was Ashley...Max is so funny, we made fun of him once about it and he corrected himself and has never said it again...sort of sad, actually. Here Max is doing his impersonation of his favorite Chipmunk...Simon...I know, who likes Simon?

Me and the girls...Kiri and Lia
Chris...after we accidentally left our camera at their house.
Crepes with friends. Eric and Ben
Ben & Hillary...Picture perfect!
Sushi with Firefighter Steve and Ruth
They were gracious and let us order as long as general chicken was included. Here is the dragon roll we ordered. It was such a great time!
This guy sitting next to us kept going on and on about how Broden was the cutest kid ever...and then would look over at Max and say, 'oh, yea, he's cute, too.' Save it!

School's out for the summer...

Even though we don't have any kids in school and it has been quite a while since either Eric or I were in school...we are now really starting to feel the shift in the air as school lets out... Max's play group had their final pot luck for the year (Thanks, Hillary, it was great), water parks are starting to open and the relaxed buzz of summer is quickly intoxicating our senses. 

For the first time in a while, it FEELS like summer...It helps to have friends in the know who also happen to be professors...as well as a few sister-in-laws who are teachers...

 Lia, Kiri and Max are finally starting to be friends...
'It's a bird, it's a plane, no it's Super Max and Super Baby Sisters!' That's what Max said right before I took this shot!

Right before summer, I caught a second wind of ambition almost finished  my bedding/living room make-over project that I'd been working on since I found this fabric in December! Three more projects and I'm done! School's out!!!

Happy Belated Mothers' Day!

I love this picture of the girls after their morning naps. Such goof balls!
This was Mothers' Day in California with my mom and brother.

Mango Mousse Cake.

Max's gift to me.
  

 To quote Max, "Mom, it's been a hard day!" 
Three little monkey's jumpin' on the bed!!!
