A quiet and peaceful Thanksgiving. Giving thanks for having such a wonderful family! Bean and Terui

Halloween 2008

Malia was so cute in this little dragonfly costume. ( Borrowed from her cousin Colven) Here at her baby gym class all the mothers unsuccessfully tried to do a group photo of the babies in costume.

The hay ride at the pumkin patch for Savannah's school field trip. Aunt Erin and Cousin Dragon Colven. Savannah was "Belle"-Disney princess. I was a witch, I am not really good at dressing up for Halloween. It's never been my thing.

Guess what Greg was?... He was a sunny side up egg. haha.

Malia is 1!

Malia, I just cannot believe how time has flown by. You are now one and it literally feels like you are only 6 months. It has been a whirlwind with the both of you. You are very outgoing, full of energy and have a very silly sense of humor which I like to call the "Terui" sense of humor. Somehow you remind me of my dad and how he used to tape up cards with monkeys making silly faces or of your cousin Mei with her husky tom boyish voice and laughter. You growl, grin, grunt and giggle which keeps us laughing and surprised all the time. You are a girl who knows what she wants, that is for sure! Can we say demanding at times but yet so cuddly other times.Yummy Carrot Cake made with Agave nectar soon becoming a family tradition.We had a small intimate family party out on the lawn at the Bean Ranch.

Catchin up- time flies October 08

Well it looks like I haven't posted in forever so I have a lot to make up for. I guess this is really just for me to remember so I shouldn't stress out over it. So little free time lately. Story Fest at Savannah's school with Grampa , Nana and cousin Colven

Reptile day at Savannah's school

It's so neat they get to touch and hold and learn about these unusual reptiles.

Malia takes a few steps today!

Malia has taken 4 steps today! I was standing infront of her encouraging her and then she took 4 steps!

Haven't posted in awhile, I know. Been very exhausted lately. No new news except for chickens are on my mind...
