Blessing Day

Well, we had Ash's special day on Sunday, which also happened to be mother's day. I wanted to do it on this day because my Grandma Asplund and Uncle Jim just happened to be here then. The day was of course hectic and busy, but it all turned out very nice.

We tried getting some family pics taken before church. Our sister in law, who I would say is professional, took tons of pics so hopefully she got a much better one then we did.

Grandma Frankie was an angel. She made fry bread, so we could have yummy Navajo Tacos. Then after everyone left, she stayed and cleaned my WHOLE kitchen! She is such a sweetheart.

Ame HAD to have this princess dress. She did look adorable.

Kaipo trying to get away from picture taking.

I felt so lucky to share not only mother's day, but also Ash's blessing day with so many people I love and admire.
Unfortunately, I didn't get enough pics with EVERYONE. We had all of Quinn's family and some of mine. It was truly a special day. Quinn gave the most beautifully, elegant blessing. Followed by a precious song, that him and his dad sang. For those of you who have not heard Quinn sing, he truly has a hidden talent that he needs to share more often.

This was such a Day. The Lord has truly blessed me beyond anything I deserve. I feel like the luckiest Mother, Wife and Daughter!

comparison

So here are the 2 boys in the same blessing outfit, on the same blanket. Kaipo (right) is about 3 months old and Ash (left) is 7 weeks, so he doesn't fill out the clothes as well. I would say there is a definite resemblence, wouldn't you? I will have to do some more picture comparison and post some more.

Ash just started grinning a couple of days ago. It is soo much fun.

Dentist

The kids and I (mom came along to help-thanks soooo much mom, I could have never done it without YOU) took a trip to the dentist a few weeks ago. Ame went first and did really well. They counted and cleaned her teeth. She was such a BIG girl. Then Kaipo took his turn in the chair. This was his first time so we made it simple. The hygenist was AWESOME and SOO good with the kids, explaining all the tools and letting them try each one out before she put it in their mouth.

Kaipo wasn't quite sure about them doing the brushing, but he let them anyway cuz he knew afterwards he would get a new toothbrush AND choose a prize with his token.

Ame thought the lights were a little too bright so they gave her some crazy glasses to wear.

Catch up......

I downloaded pics from my camera today and realized I have A LOT of catching up to do.

Here is a picture of Kaipo with our neighbors little girl, Azlin, who he loves to maul and torment! She is a real girly girl and is very petite AND definitely likes her own space, which Kaipo loves to dominate and take over. You can just see the mischief in that cute little smile!!
Here is a picture of me with my neighbor friends (left: Tara, right back: Cami, right front: Jamie-she is the neighbor right next to me with the 2 year old girl above and a boy Ame's age and she also has a baby 6 weeks older than Ash). This was our first girls night out. It was Cami's birthday and we went to this really fun Japanese Cuisine for dinner and had some good laughs. They are all such fun neighbors. We all just hang out in our caldisac (sp?) in the evenings and let the kids run wild. We couldn't have asked for a better neighborhood.
