Great food and company

2nd week of school - I'm so grateful they need backpacks and shoes this year. 

Spontaneous afterschool shave ice party. 

Simple joy - Charmin toilet paper was in stock & on sale at Costco. 

Ethan and his buddy who also loves to cook made us salmon for dinner. 

Yummy ... skin was so crispy!

Tyler's FFF - Ticket to ride.  Ethan was the big winner. 

We made a bet for a meal with Em 5 years ago they would have #3 by 40 (because Em wanted 4 kids and we thought she can convince Roo).  We had to pay up with a surf and turf meal - sous vide rib eye, miso chilean sea bass, jumbo lemon garlic shrimp and tropical poke.  It was so fun to hang out and pig out together.  We want to win next one - what to bet on next? 

Poke appetizer to bring back some Maui yumminess from our recent trip. 

Cousins lunch hang out.  2 of them were our flower girl and ring boy, 19 years ago!   

Cheers to Tracy's visit - enjoying Tracy's special Japanese whisky.
