Farewell party for neighbors / church friends.  So sad to see them move to Portland / Boston. 

My turn for a date with the coolest Dad who invests in 1:1 time with me (and buy me tasty treats). 

Family stroll after dinner.  Mama recently joined a step competition at work and set a goal of 12K daily steps so she's dragging us out to walk with her daily. 

Dad's beside himself that Halal Guys chicken and rice plates are now available in the bay area.  

Mama's Orenchi dinner  night out with her college gf's to celebrate Auntie Nina's bday.

Tyler's 12

I made my own raspberry & peach sorbet bday cake for my friends to enjoy.  Mom's getting a bit emotional about me turning 12 ... almost a teenager and only 6 more years under the same roof.  

Jump if you like to play flag football

I'm a selfie pro - my mom's too focused on the flag football game she didn't even know I'm taking a picture of us. 

Grateful to have so many good friends to celebrate with.  

Dry ice explosion. 

My siblings were so thoughtful .... Ethan made me some of my favorite breakfast foods and Mari spent all week making my bday card.  Wish my bday is every day. 

Some good ol Chuck E Cheese fun

Fun and yummy bday lunch at Kula, the newest sushi place in town.

Gardening fun - pulling out all the weeds from the winter.

Mother's Day 2016

Mother's Day party at my preschool ... we've been planning for weeks! 

Breakfast in bed for mom, it was fun playing waiter/waitress as we kept bring her more food. 

Mom's Mother Day tradition is to take her kids out on 1:1 dates, 6th annual this year -  date #1 - Orenchi Ramen 

Date #2 - lots of fresh sushi 

Date #3 - one of my fav sandwich places ... got a large so I have leftovers for lunch at school :)

Mari's FFF plans - Poke bowl dinner,  kids vs parent Pictionary, ice cream then poker 

Dad celebrated 10 years at Google this week - boy he's getting old.  He's more "tenured" than 97% of the company. 

After dinner football fun with Grandpa. 

Shopping for our "healthy" Cub Scout camping trip meals. 

A little bit of rain won't stop us from hiking 

Camp all set up!
