2008 - July

In the words of Tanner "it's tradition"
to dress up when Kiet & Alisa's family
come over. When the tradition started
3 1/2 yrs ago (when we were still
in San Antonio), the rabbit costume was way
too big for Tanner - now it's almost too small!

2008 - July

Mia, Emma, Asa & Maya

Enjoying a pizza picnic outside. We are fortunate
to have a nice shade tree. The tree makes it bearable
to be in the backyard w/ 100 degree heat

When our friends came over to visit, Tanner

Maya started riding her bike w/o training
wheels in April. Her and Robert worked
extremely hard one day, and in just one
lesson from him, she was doing great! She taught
herself how to start w/o one of us pushing her.
When she sets her mind on something, it's
hard to stop her!!

We found out pretty early on, that at this
stage in Maya's life, t-ball is "not her thing"
But she sure is cute in her uniform!!

2008 - May

For some reason, Maya volunteered
to play catcher. I'm pretty sure she was
thinking "Oh goody! Dress up clothes!!"

2008 - May

Asa was not happy when he found out
he couldn't play t-ball

2008 - May

This is pretty much what Maya
did the whole game, even when a ball
came directly to her
