Grandma and Grandpa's visit for the big birthday


Grandma and Grandpa came to Salt Lake to help get ready for the big day.  We had lots of fun with them before the birthday party.

Natalie is ONE!!!


Sesame Street Birthday Party!

This was such a fun party to not only plan, but to decorate and to enjoy. It turned out really well, better than I though it would.  With the dedicated help of Ray, Tash and Nat we really pulled it off!  Nat had some of the best ideas and Ray was so great with perfecting all the details!  Thanks to everyone who made it possible!  Thanks most to all our friends and family who came and celebrated this amazing day with us! We are so blessed to have been given so many amazing gifts and the love and support we felt was truly felt.  

Natalie didn't get a nap that day, so she took her nap right in the middle of her party as all the guests were coming...Oh well it still turned out so great!  

The potato salad...I have never seen so much.  It was fun to make

Uncle Marks and Aunty Sunshines Wedding


This was a really beautiful wedding!  We had a lot of fun going.  We are so happy that Mark found a great girl like Sunshine who we all love!   The sealing was absolutely incredible and you could feel the love at the wedding.   Grandma Pe'a even sung the Hawaiian Wedding song for Mark, since she considers him another son to her.  He truly is family!  Sunshine looked just gorgeous and Mark so handsome.   


Beautiful bride
