Happy 5th Birthday, Hunter!!!

Hunter's big 5th birthday party was held on Saturday, 28 January... and it was a great day for our newly five year old and his buddies. Of course Hunter had requested certain friends to come along, so I sent out the initial text (no cute invitations from this household this year). Well, those friends have siblings and parents... and then I'd run into others and think "oh, we can certainly just invite another friend" (WHO DOES THAT SOUND LIKE?)... and in typical Jen fashion, the guest list had sorta expanded. So you can imagine the knot in my tummy when I woke up on Friday morning and the temperature had dropped by what seemed like 5 degrees and the rain was practically horizontal. "Hunter," I stated, "you'd better start praying that God brings good weather for your birthday party tomorrow." It was my only hope - there was absolutely no way we'd be able to squeeze the now 30+ people into my house... So pray he/we did.

And on Saturday morning - as you'd expect - clear skies, bright sun, and summer temperatures! PRAISE GOD!!! We had much to be thankful for! And... much work to do before the guests arrived at 11am.

 After creating his super fun train cake last year (as per his request) I figured I was up for anything he'd throw my way (funny how one successful cake can inspire such confidence). So when he said he wanted a monster truck cake I had no doubt I could deliver. But it was Tony's contribution and steady hands that really turned this into a work of edible art!! And you can tell by Hunter's expression - it was good!!!

Wish we could celebrate your birthdays too!!!

Oh and now that he's five - he's eligible to start school and I'm homeschooling him this year... so the adventures continue!!! 

Engagement!

Congratulations to Cherise and Bryan on your engagement!

3 Boyer's and a Baby Bump

Jason and Amanda + baby came to visit Auntie Steph.

We enjoyed our Saturday morning by eating chocolate croissants

and a walk near Boyer Ave.

Amanda 18 weeks pregnant and feeling good.

Boyer Ave was very inspirational for baby names.

However, we did not reach a conclusion.

Jason and Amanda going for the candid shot.

Meanwhile, Steph was texting Jeff.

With a few sun breaks, many naps, and a lot of quality time we welcomed in October with a crispy weekend. Hope you all get a Saturday walk in this month and breath in some cool air. And let's not forget...

enjoy some Husky/USC football :)

birthday party!

Hello family...

I have been missing you all as I have been traveling all over the place... I am planning on getting together with some friends and family to just play and celebrate my 24th birthday this sunday August 14th. At 2pm we will be meeting together at Cordata Park (its in Matt and Toris neighborhood) to play some foresquare, botchie ball, frisbee, eat some treats and you can learn to slackline too!

So come play! I would love to see you!

Happy Anniversary... Happy 4th of July!!!

Sometimes you just have to combine your celebrations, eh? Since Tony was in Australia on our anniversary we had to postpone our date. What better way to celebrate than for him to take a day off work and spend the 4th of July enjoying a bit of recreational companionship out in the beauty of the greater Wellington region?!? We did what we would've done if we were in California on the 4th - we took a bike ride (though there were no red, white or blue tassles on our bikes, no flags flown, nor streamers through our tires) along a beautiful waterway and ended up at Ruby's Cafe for a coffee and bap instead of Ruby's Diner for a milkshake and burger. Regardless, we appreciated our few hours of independence (Hunter was at Kindy and Helena was with a friend) as we reflected on the interdependence we've developed over these nine wonderful years of marriage so far...  

Miss you guys... hope you had a great 4th there!!!
