Happy Birthday, Easter, Christmas... 5 months later!

Okay, so I think we've gotten even worse at remembering to post things, but I guess it is better late than never. 5 months have gone by (okay... almost 6 months) and a lot has happened. We have hundreds of pictures, but my patience with uploading them to this site is quite short. I normally put them in some sort of chronological order as well, but that didn't happen this time. Here are a few highlights of what we've been up to. Enjoy!
Harper's 1st birthday was on April 25th. We celebrated by having a beach birthday at one of our favorite beach parks. It was loads of fun. We had a beach/ocean theme with hamburgers, hot dogs, cupcakes, and ice cream! All of Harper's friends came.

Harper's friends: Brian Hafele, Marley Connors (God-sister), and Autumn Ingalls (BFF).

For Easter brunch, the three of us went to a tea room. For dinner, we celebrated at the Wangs' with several of our friends. We had a lovely day.

In March, Tami's mom and sister came out for a visit. We all went to the Big Island for a few days. We flew into Hilo and stayed in Volcano the first day/night. We made our way to Waikoloa for 2 more nights. Since we live on an island, we never go to pools. Harper had her first experience at the hotel and LOVED it.

This was Harper's first time to really PLAY at the beach.

Look at the difference a few months makes. The above picture is obviously from December. The next picture is from a couple of weeks ago. Harper is playing a board game with Daddy.

You talkin' to me?!
