We had a wonderful time on Friday celebrating Jessica's birthday! I took the day off of work and we hung out in the morning whilst Sammy took his morning nap. We then went out to brunch at a quaint little coffee shop called The Pannikin. We followed that with a walk along the beach for a while where we let Sammy "swim" in the ocean (I hold him face down on his chest and he splashes his hands and kicks his feet in the surf and drenches his face and body. He loves it!). When we got home, we made some homemade toffee that is to die for! Then Jessica went to her hula dress rehearsal. Saturday the 6th was her group's annual ho'ike (hula show), which she starred in! Below are a couple videos of the most beautiful, graceful hula dancer to step on stage :)
Jessica's sister, Jillian, made us all individual lava cakes for Jessica's family celebration on Saturday night after the ho'ike. Wow!
Now on to a totally different topic...Sammy loves to swim! We took him in my parent's pool a couple weekends ago, and he loved it! At the rate he's going, he might learn how to swim before he crawls! haha! Here's a little video of him.
Here is a picture of our friends, the Stauffers, who came over to my parent's house and hung out with us for a while.
Jessica decided to do a western photo shoot with Sammy. She literally had one second to snap each picture after she put the hat on his head because he would reach up and snatch the hat off in a heartbeat. He's the cutest cowboy I've ever seen!
Good work Sammy...good work :)

Happy Belated Birthday Jessica! Looks like you had a great celebration. Also Sammy is doing so brilliantly at swimming- such a little stud! Evan and me are starting swim lessons next week (with Natalie and Tyler); we will let you know how he does. Hopefully it goes good. :) Lots of love and can't wait to see you soon! :)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SISSY!!!
WE LOVE YOU!!!
