going to a friend's birthday

We all went to Jade's 5th birthday party at Jen's and Tony's house. The kids got to play in a bounce house and a little pool. Lots of wet fun. Everybody comments on what a great big smile Mai has. ;>)

Friends wedding

I took Kara Mai with me to a wedding reception while Peter stayed home with daddy. It was the reception of my parent's friend's son..actually I've known him since he was a little boy-Bin. Uncle Danny was part of the wedding party.
It was fun to take her on an outing by herself. She looked so cute in her white dress. I think she liked the attention she got without Peter there!!!

My little girl is getting a little older with a bigger attitude. We did the combined birthday with her cousin Kaylee who turned 5. Here she is dressing up like a princess with her new toys: She also tried out the new swimming suit from the Grandparents:
