Happy 5th Bday

Happy Birthday Kylee! Also, we're proud to announce that Kylee has another cousin! However, we'll let Baby Emi and family formally announce that - we're glad mom and baby are doing well. Enjoy the pictures

Mommy brought cupcakes to Kylee's class - one of Kylee's friends said that Kylee's mom is "so cool"

A picture of Kylee's class enjoying their treats

Jaron being a ham - he now says "Hi Dad" and Ethan has learned to say "more" in sign language

Playing with the wrapping paper - the best present of all!

Big Sis and her "so awesome" face - she's a little dramatic from time to time

Love,

Jaron, Ethan, Kylee and Parents

Fun Facts

Fact#5: Jen and I both have a minor in Japanese. Despite the fact that I lived in Japan and had been working at a job that required me to speak and read Japanese, Jen would frequently beat me on our kanji character tests.

Fact #4: I don't know if it's a Japanese or Buddhist superstition, but my mom always said that when a family loses someone, that a new person will come into the family. About two weeks after attending my grandmother's funeral, we were excited to find out that we were expecting! That very night, Jen found out that her grandmother had passed away. I thought back to this superstition and thought, "would we have twins?" We lost two people special to us but were so happy that we've welcome in two very special individuals.

Fact #3: One of the neatest experiences we had was living in Japan for two years following graduation. We got to travel extensively through Japan and to a few parts of Asia. We also got to meet a number of Jen's relatives and even saw both Kelii and Kenny as they finished their missions.

Fact #2: Kylee was born on August 6th - the day the A-Bomb was dropped on Hiroshima. Jaron and Ethan were born on September 11th - another day memorialized in history. We are thinking that (if) we have another - it will be on 12/6 - Pearl Harbor day. :)

Fact #1: Jenny and Ray met while working at the Polynesian Cultural Center. Ray worked in the Japanese Guide Dept. Jenny worked in the Hawaiian Village and danced hula in a number of the different pageants. After graduation, Jenny also helped publish a book on the Native Plants of Polynesia - their usage, origins, and migration throughout the Polynesian Triangle
