Happy 90th Birthday, Gma!

My sweet grandmother, Rheta, turned 90 years old on November 2nd.  Amelia and I flew out for the big party, where she was undoubtedly the belle of the ball.  A few months ago, she moved into an assisted living facility in Clovis and has loved every minute of it.  She even brags that "everyone says that my apartment is the best decorated".

Happy Birthday DK!

Happy birthday to our David who fills our lives love and laughter and brings happiness into our home.  We love you!  Teishi & Amelia

Trick-or-Treat

Halloween found us dressed as the Buzz Lightyear Astro Blaster ride from Disneyland.  David was the actual ride in miniature complete with light-up blaster, Amelia was a darling triple-eyed alien full of wonder, and mom was... the bad guy, Zurg.  Isn't that always the way the chips fall?  Mom, the "bad guy".  (Footnote: Next year, Dave says he's going back to be some kind of appliance.  He gets more oohs and aahs for his costume that way.  Remember the vending machine, folks?)

When you wish upon a star...

...your husband gets called to Disneyland for work and you have to tag along.  (What a rough life!)  It was  a great week for us to go because we met up with David's oldest sister Katherine, her family, and Nana Jill.  Even our dear friends the Mosses made the trek.  (A very pregnant Natalie was given permission by her doctor at the very last minute!)  Amelia dressed up for Mickey's Trick-or-Treat party in Disney's California Adventure and returned to the hotel with a bag full of candy that David is now eating his way through.  Things were a bit more difficult this time because Amelia felt the need to walk everywhere by herself rather that cruise in the stroller.  (This does not bode well for the upcoming February trip.  But alas, we bravely push on in the name of Mickey Mouse!)

Gooooooooooal!

Real Salt Lake held their very first game in the new stadium and there was no way the Kennedys were going to miss the event!  Bundled up like marshmallows, we enjoyed the game, the new stadium, and hot churros along with 20,000 of our new soccer friends.

Monkey Business

Caroline and Amelia have matching monkey pajamas (from Costco, of course) and we just couldn't help but snap a few pictures of them wearing them.  From behind, it was even hard to tell them apart!

The Boxer

You know how at Costco the clerk always offers a box to make carrying home your purchases easier?  Amelia is a BIG fan of this practice.  Yet another reason Costco is the best place on earth.  (Note: I did not say "happiest".  That designation is reserved for Disneyland.  Duh.)
