Butterfly Park


Just a beautiful day out at Butterfly Park.  Fun little event for us to walk to and check out.  So nice and open now that they've cut back all the trees.

Some butterflies to look at. So pretty!

Giant Butterfly Makayla.

Making a pot and planting some seeds. Let's see what she grows.......

Harvest Crusade


While waiting in line to get in, we went to check out the cool Angel Mickey.

Mak's 1st Harvest with us!  So silly with her Daddy!

Me and my girl getting ready for some worship together!

Pizza, pizza, her favorite!

Our sweet little family minus Myleeboo :(
There was a video that wouldn't load of Mak just singing away!  She makes my heart so full that she knows our worship songs! How great is our God!

Steven Curtis Chapman! So awesome!  Hope my girls play this song at their wedding for their Daddy!

Mercy, Mercy Me!  Wow, they were amazing!!!

Amazing how many people go down to the field to dedicate & rededicate their lives!  God is amazing! What a great event. If you haven't been, we highly recommend it!

Ry's 35th Birthday!

Happy Birthday Ry! It was just an ordinary work day but we started a little celebration with the family for dinner. Some yummy home marinated BBQ Kalbi beef with lots of fixin's! Then for the finale, awesome cupcakes from the Great Dane bakery! A small and sweet celebration! Hope he enjoyed it!
Instead of cake we did cupcakes instead. Makayla's choice for her Daddy! Then to top it off we went with a little football theme to kick off the season soon! Ry's favorite time of year!
Ryan and his M&M girls ready for dessert and some singing!
1, 2, 3 blow! Mylee beat them all too it! So cute how excited she was to blow out some candles. Ever since her 2nd birthday she's been our little pro.
The Arakaki Family. We haven't had one of these photos in ages. Nice to have the whole family together. Funny how Mom and Dad match? Not sure if that was planned....
Just the 4 of us.
Makayla excited about her fun pink & purple seahorse cupcake.
Can you tell how thrilled Myleeboo is about her little goldfish cupcake?!

Diggin' in and it's all over! So fun! Happy Birthday Daddy! Hope you had a great day! We all had fun celebrating it with you!

Polka Dot Bikini's

Okay, so I'm way behind on my blog that I just don't think I can ever get it updated. I have all the title posts and most pictures uploaded but I can't seem to find the time to sit and journal. I will hopefully be going back one by one as time permits but you all know how that goes....so I decided to start posting some more recent photos. At least I'm finally in 2010 now! You can go back if you'd like to check from time to time but I know that's doubtful too! I really did this to keep my own scrapbooking log organized and to keep family and friends up to date while getting things off my mind too so I didn't forget them.......
Here are my cutie pies in their teeny matching bikini's from Grandma! They are so stinkin' adorable!
Hanging out by the pool together.
Being silly in the pool with their Daddy! They are both are little fishy's! Mak is just awesome in the pool now with her swimming! We are so proud of her! And of course our no fear Myleeboo!

Sillygoose! That is the cutest face ever! It's been a great summer so far! I know the sun has been limited but that hasn't stopped us from getting out by the pool at least once or twice a week! Good times!
