Starting Out Summer...

The summer trips to Salt Lake have begun. We were able to make it out for some big events last month. Ruby Mei & Leo's birthday bash... which was AWESOME!! By far the coolest bday party I've been to! They rented out KOPFC for the night and we swam and ate while Abe and his crew DJ'd... sooo much fun!!!

The next day was Brittainy's baby shower followed by Sini's wedding. So glad I made it out to see these beautiful ladies.

Sten and Mei performed a tau'olunga for their auntie's special day...

The boys performed their Bruno Mars number as well. But my favorite part of the wedding had to have been this cute little number by the bride...


We grabbed some Famous Frybread after the wedding and then made it to Leatherby's just in time for some dessert.

Love me some summer fun :)

October Haps: Pumpkin Picks 2011

Samiu and Toakesa slept over and we let them all pick out pumpkins. We can't carve our pumpkins early out here because they won't last in the heat. We will normally carve our pumpkins the day before or the actual day of Halloween. I wanted to spruce them up in some way so I decided to add some spook to them while they sat on the porch waiting to be carved. I let each of the kids pick out a design and we decorated each of the individual pumpkins. Here's some pictures of the kids with their pumpkins they chose...

And here's what the pumpkins looked like after we decorated them with vinyl
