BaaBa!

For MLK day we went to visit Grandma since school was not in session.

Milo ate about 3 tangerines while there.

Grandma also measured his height. 

All the kids have grown since last time!

Chalk art + truck ride + !!

Hanging out in Grandpa's big truck!

Excited to see baba♥

On this day, I wanted to stop by the town center to check out the Chalk Art that was held the weekend before.  Viewing was until the next day so I had to see!

This was Luka's favorite--he wanted a picture taken with it.

Picked up some lunch from the French Bakery, my fave♥

Milo's face!

I think he's excited!

Hanging out with Auntie♥

Kai is not phased by the truck...just reading his new comic book while the others play.

Birdhouse Project ♥

With some leftover wood, Baba decided to build a bird feeder / birdhouse for us!

The kiddos were intrigued.

We've since been visited by squirrels and many birds on our patio!

Milo hogged my tea...

♥♥♥

Kai has grown so much--he's such a big boy now!

Christmas 2016 ♥♥♥ クリスマス♥

Opening gifts--Time lapse ♥

みんなでプレゼント交換。

タイムラプスになってます。

Merry Christmas everyone!!

Interesting fact:  The Smith Family has always been outnumbered by girls.

Well...every since James and I started a family, we are now outnumbered by BOYS!

What is happening?!?!

My dad is happy, I'm sure.

メリークリスマ～ス！

スミス一家はいつも女の子ばかりだったけど、子供が生まれてからは男の子ばかりです。

おもしろいね～

Hope everyone had a great Christmas!

みなさん素敵なクリスマスだったでしょうか？

今度はお正月！

2016年ももうすぐ終わりですね。

App fun!

Being silly with filters ♥

Backyard fun ♥

Probably the last sunny summery week!

After Kai's class, we drove up to visit Grandma & Grandpa.

Kai and Baba played some badminton!

The kiddos helped harvest some tomatoes.

Luka was eating them as he picked them off...and he didn't want to share.

This daredevil...He climbed up all on his own.

I can't even climb a ladder that high!

Kai is proud of his pickings.

Good job!

Baba's garden.

Telling us to back off...they are LUKA's tomatoes!

Family get together for my Grandmother ♥

We had a get together for my ailing Grandmother.

Unfortunately, she is not doing well... We decided to gather on Sunday since her niece (my second aunt) is in town from Japan.  

My mother put together an amazing lunch for us!

Sashimi, sushi rolls, baked salmon, etc.  

Too pretty to eat!

Milo + Mommy♥

Me and my sis.

The 'guys' took shots of whiskey.

(This resulted in a very sleepy James later on...)

I will try to visit my Grandmother as much as I can...but it's hard when my car is still in the shop :(

I can't tell you how much I dislike our rental car right now...
