Skyler's Birthday Video

Fun times! Skyler didn't know about making a wish part before blowing the candle. But he was so happy to have his friends and family there.

Skyler's Birthday

Finally, finally the day has come! Skyler has been waiting for his birthday for months! Almost since January. Every time when we go store, he'd always asked "Can I have this for my birthday?" We couldn't keep track of what he wanted, but most of all, he wanted to have a birthday party with friends. Since our house is little, we decided to invite his Sunbeam's friends, his cousins, and his favorite Grandma-Biggs. He decided to have his brithday theme as "How to train your dragon," which was a little hard since it didn't have much out there in the store. Satomi took almost 2 nights of sleepless nights (really didn't sleep much) to make cake and coming up with all of the fun. Planing of party was a fun work, Satomi was actually excited almost more than her own birthday. It was even better hearing giggles and laughter during the party (minus Evan's cranky-ness. He wasn't himself that day). After his birthday party, we took a little break and went to see "How to train your Dragon" movie for the 4th time since it came out in theater (okay, we are all obsessed with that movie). Then, we went to eat out Red Lobster where Skyler wanted to eat the "Lobster," just like his Daddy (it's his favorite). We are so blessed to have the happy-peaceful feeling like today. Thank you for all of the guests and friends who came to celebrate with us!!

Of Course, Dinosaur

With Skyler (and now Evan is getting into it, too), we can't forget Dinosaur. Dinosaur museum in Thanksgiving point has deal on every August month that entrance fee is only $2 per person. So, we went there to pre-celebrate Skyler's birthday. Oh boy we didn't know how long the line would be when we got there. Skyler and Satomi decided to check out the gift shop while Robert and Evan waited to the line to get in. Even though it was crowded than normal time, it wasn't chaos. We had a good time. Skyler was excited that he got to pick one toy that he could keep because he had enough money from his piggy bank. Satomi admitted that she has really hard time not buying toys to kids. Her excuse is "because I can't buy something for me, but I can find something for them easily."

Let's go Fly a kite

Skyler found a kite that was on clearance sale from Target, so we decided to go fly a kite as a family. It's fun to see our own kid loves to do what we loved to do when we were kid. Evan was just having so much fun exploring the nature world. So far this summer, we have been blessed to have healthy body that allowed us to do so much fun activities outside before long winter comes.

Evan's Birthday video

We wished we could capture when we first sang a happy birthday song to Evan as a family. He was SO HAPPY and he knew we were singing for him. Every time when he hears the song, he had a big smile on his face. Maybe we did it too much before we took this video...?!

Happy Birthday Evan!

Can't believe Evan is already one year old! He started to making many different sounds, mimicking us talking. He loves to explore things that sometimes gets him in trouble. He loves his brother Skyler (he is really Evan's security blanket). Most of all, he's been such a good baby and we sure hope we'll have more fun memories to make together as a family. Satomi made Dinosaur train for his birthday cake. We were blessed to have Grandparents Biggs and 2 of his uncles, Brad and Tom with us to celebrate. Happy Birthday, Evan!!

The world Biggest PIT

The world biggest pit Copper mine. It was free for couple of days so we decided to take a look. The wind was so strong, but the view was pretty amazing how tiny the big trucks looked when we saw them from the top. Over all, as you can see, we did many activities as a family this month. We felt so blessed to be able to do so. Family time is important, especially kids grow so fast, making an effort to have family time is worth it!
