Happy Birthday!

We celebrated Kawika's birthday yesterday...and I do have to say that I love celebrating birthdays- so much fun! This was the breakfast that I made him, filled with his favorites: Cheese eggs, bacon, fruit, OJ, and a crepe filled with Nutella, cool whip, bananas, & strawberries.



Add a little ketchup...


SO tasty!

This was one of his gifts- he got a new driver. Boy was he thrilled!

Then it was off to dinner at our favorite Thai restaurant.

After dinner, we went to a show-Oceans 13. It was good- much better than Oceans 12, but still doesn't beat out Oceans 11.

Blowing out his candles on my PITIFUL looking cake. I could not get the dang frosting to work with me. It tasted great, but oh so sad looking. Hope I have better luck next time!
Happy Birthday Kawika!

Home Teaching Butter Yaki Style


Last night we got all our home teaching done! (Or should I say, Kawika). We invited the couple that Kawika home teaches, along with our home teacher & his wife and niece. We made butter yaki- it was a big hit! Then we played some exciting rounds of snarf (a card game) and had cheese cake for dessert. It was a fun night :)

Here are some pictures from March when my parents & brother came to visit. We had so much fun!


The water show at the Bellagio

Caesars Palace

This dance game is really pretty challenging...Taylor was pretty good at it.

Of course, no trip can be complete with out a round of golf!

Bum Buddies!!

Exhausted from all the excitment (or should I say, golf)

School is Out- HOORAY!

School ended on Friday-whew! Here are some pictures of the kids I teach. I had atleast one student in each class that did not speak English. At least I didn't have problems with them talking too much!
