Ni Hao Kai-Lan birthday party

First, the details:
Carrots and ranch, wonton chips, fruit and edamame.
"Sushi" sandwiches: pb&j and ham and cheese.
Fortune cookie cupcakes and cake pops.
Rice Krispie treat sushi rolls.
And...since I'm much better on the computer than with frosting...the smash cake.

The blondies!
Lining up to play games...thanks to Maya's direction!
Nothing gets 'em excited like a good, old-fashioned Bean Bag Toss.
Pin the glasses on Ye-Ye. 
Cousins Cooper and Teagen being silly on the SuperCoupe.

Drew literally stopped opening her presents when "Ma Belle Evangeline" from The Princess and the Frog came on the iPod. She closes her eyes, sways her body and moves her arms like a conductor. Every time.


Opening her first of many super fun gifts!
It took a few tries to get those candles!
She knew what to do this year!
And so did Meghan!

Rockin' out with one of her favorite new toys!

Birthday Weekend...Drew is 3!

We had a big, fun weekend to celebrate Drew's 3rd birthday. Normally, we go to the OC Fair on her actual birthday, but since Auntie Kels couldn't get off work, we're postponing. After Mommy and Daddy got home from work, we opened presents.
After presents, we had dinner at Ruby's, rode the Carousel and decorated her own cupcake at the Spectrum.
Party day! Drew wanted to get in a little bed-jumping with Woody (like Andy) before swim lessons and her Ni  Hao Kai-Lan party.
...and some quality time with her new toys.

We had our friend, Beth, take "official" party photos on her camera, so more pictures will follow, but here are just a couple.
Drew and the girls from L to R: Drew, Lauren (9 mos.), Kaileigh (23 mos.), Meghan (3), Teagen (2.5) and Maya (7)....(not pictured: Taylor and Cooper and Logan)
Our best family photo of the day.

4th of July

The Morning Crew. Running a 5K at 8:40AM (or 5:40 Hawaii time, which we were still on).

Enjoying the post-race barbecue with Baby Lauren.
What a ham. 

Sparklers!
The "kids."
