Happy Halloween!

Tonight we headed to Uncle Rick and Auntie Leanne's for dinner and trick-or-treating. There were so many of us this year!

Back row: Jake, Jared, Emily, and Sydney
Middle row: Kacey, Cassidy, Summer, Kayla, Riley
Bottom row: Brent, me, Catie and Cole

Mommy tried to take pictures of me trick-or-treating, but I was too busy running from house to house that they didn't come out very good.



Unfortunately, baby sister wasn't feeling very well today! She had a slight temperature, so Mommy and Daddy thought it would be best to keep her at home. We were so sad that she missed her first Halloween!
Mommy did take some pictures when she tried on her costume (or, should I say... my costume!) She wore the same costume that I wore for my first Halloween.

Here I am on the left at 7 months old and sister on the right at 11 months old.

Next year when sister has her "first" Halloween, she will be big enough to run around and go trick-or-treating with me!

Meeting Baby Zoey

Today we got to meet Baby Zoey for the first time! She is only about 5 weeks old.










Connor, Maile and Melia were there too! Here we all are with Rocky (Zoey's "brother").

Halloween Party #3

Tonight we went to another party at church. My cousins were there along with my friends Madison (back left) and Leila (front right).

We got to make some crafts, watch magic tricks, and (of course) eat lots of treats!















Here we are (above left) with Reverend Keith. Below are pictures of the magician (Dan Chan the Magic Man)! The magician pulled several people up on stage to help with his tricks... and Mommy was one of them! She was so embarrassed! What a fun night of tricks and treats!

Halloween Party #2

Mommy got me up from my nap and we were off to another party at my other preschool!

Since I didn't get as much sleep as I wanted, I was grumpy boy when we got there (can you tell in the picture?!) I have been practicing all my Halloween songs, but didn't want to sing them today. Maybe Mommy will be able to capture me singing on video later.











Thankfully I was in a better mood after having some treats! I took pictures with all of my teachers (top left - Miss Jeri, top right - Miss Allyson, bottom left - Mr. Brian, and bottom right - Miss Lynne).









Of course, I always have to take a picture with my "girlfriend" Lexie! Don't we make a cute couple? I think our Mommies are already planning our wedding! Ha ha! We have so much fun together!

Stay tuned for more Halloween fun!

Halloween Party #1

This morning I went to the first of four Halloween parties at my preschool. Brent and I dressed up and got to eat popcorn and see magic tricks!

We were so excited that Mommy and Auntie Mich came by to see us.













We got to show off our costumes in our parade (no clue what the boy behind me is supposed to be dressed up as!) Mommy was also happy that she got to meet some of the friends I tell her about. Here I am with my friend Emmanuel (a.k.a. Spiderman).













Here are pictures of my teachers... Brent, Miss Marjan and me on the left and me with Miss Varsha on the right.









Here is most of my class. It was difficult to get us all together! party #1 was so much fun! Now home for a nap and off to party #2!

SJ Taiko visit

Today we took a field trip to see the taiko drummers! It was so exciting to watch them perform... and weeven got to take turns pounding on the drums!

Quarterly poker game

Mommy and Daddy used to have weekly poker games before we came along! Now, it seems like we are only able to get a game together once every 3 months or so!

I always like to join in the fun! Mommy and Daddy hope that I win the World Series of Poker when I turn 21! Ha ha!













Poker games now includes lots of little friends! Above are pictures baby sister with Damon and me with Emi, Miya and Damon.

Uncle Dobie cracks me up! I have such a good time playing with him!

Unfortunately, Daddy wasn't able to win poker this time... maybe he will have better luck next quarter!

Visit from Cameron

On Wednesday, Auntie Ellen and Cameron flew in to visit us! We have seen Cameron before, but now that he is almost 2 years old, he is able to run around and play with us! The weather wasn't very nice, so we mostly just hung out Nama and Papa's house... but that was fine with us! We had so much fun playing with each other!

Here are some pictures from their visit...





















Baby sister had a blast! Here is is laughing with Auntie Ellen (on the right) and getting tossed in the air by Auntie Mich (on the left).









On Thursday Uncle Ronnie and Auntie Bianca (Cameron's Mommy and Daddy) came! They are so much fun. I especially liked Uncle Ronnie's "pokey pokey" hair!





















Mommy tries to get a picture of all the cousins together when she has a chance!



















What a GREAT time we had with all of you!!! We can't wait for you to come visit again!

Pumpkin Patch & the Prince house

After Crafty Fox fun on Saturday, we have been going to Uesugi Pumpkin Patch on Sunday. Unfortunately, the weather wasn't so good this year. There was a high chance of rain, so Mommy and sister stayed at home. Daddy and I met up with everyone.












We also saw my friend Connor there... he wore his Halloween costume! (Kayla, Maile and Melia were there too, but I wasn't able to get pictures with them).




As expected, the rain arrived! Auntie Karen invited us all over to her house to hang out.

Here I am with Joshua. He is doing his Spiderman pose... not quite sure what kind of pose I am doing!

Thank you to the Prince family for having us all over! What a fun filled weekend! Can't wait to see everyone again!

Annual Crafty Fox & brunch

Today was our annual get together of food, fun and shopping! We start the day off at the Crafty Fox boutique.









After, we head to brunch. The past two years we had brunch at a restaurant. This year we decided to meet at a park so the kids could run around and play.

Here is our attempt at getting the kids together for a group shot!




We both had so much fun playing in the park and riding the swings!










Here are some more pictures of everyone.

Special thanks to Auntie Debbie for organizing everything!
