September Fun

September was a pretty calm month. We spent many days outside enjoying the cooler less humid weather. The kids actually enjoyed playing outside and I enjoyed not sweating the entire time :)

We went for a walk to the beach. The kids wanted to walk... but somewhere along the way Brady got tired and stopped for a little break :)
Can you find him in these pictures?





The kids love playing in the Fall leaves. They love to run through them and hear them crunch, and they love to throw them at me (nice huh?).





Daddy was home a lot more this month... the kids were in heaven :)




We spent the day at Ohari Park. We played at the park and rented the swan paddle boats. Tessa loved driving her boat, and Brady loved the fact he was floating in the water :)










The rest of the days we just cruised around and hung out :)































I am really starting to crack up at Tessa's many poses she does for every picture. She LOVES the camera. And Brady has started to say CHEESH every time he takes a picture :) Also, in Japan, for some weird reason, they are really big at doing "peace fingers" in EVERY picture they take (doesn't matter the age either). They hold there fingers up and do some really funny poses with them. If you notice in any of the pictures my kids holding their fingers up it is because they have caught on to this and tend to do it some times... GREAT!!!

Boys and Girls

Oh the differences between boys and girls!

Our BOY takes his trucks and pushes them off tables to let them crash and burn... while our GIRL go and puts bandaids all over them to make them feel better :)

Tessa's Birthday Dinner

To finish Tessa's birthday celebration we went out for a yummy teppanyaki dinner that is actually owned by one of DJ's teammates. (Matsunaka who invites us every year to his house for a big BBQ.) We had a great night spending time with everyone here. We ate yummy food, sang Happy Birthday, and even got to eat some more B-day cake.

*Don't mind my right eye in all of these pictures... I woke up that morning with pink eye!!! Worst thing ever :(

Having a little snack before we left for dinner :)




Tessa showing off her new Hello Kitty necklace Mommy and Daddy got her for her birthday!



Feed us already... ready for the food to come.





And let me tell you, they ate it ALL! We had to order more :)

Hanging out at dinner.






Brooke and Brady getting in to some sort of trouble... can't leave these 2 alone for a minute. They decided to use the jacket bins as building blocks. Then decided to make them cars and climb in them for a ride!






Birthday Cake Time!!!








Tessa said she got to eat 3 pieces because she was 3! Who is this girl?





Thanks to all of you who helped celebrate our special 3 year old's birthday with us!
