piggies!

Amika found her little piggies today and is all over them! You lay her down and she gets so happy go grab them and hold them!:) ADORABLE!

Cookies!

Taelin loves COOKIES just like his mother! I made Chocolate Chip PB cookies today and when Taelin woke up from his nap he got one.  Well, late that day I was in the back room and hear him grab his stool.  So, I go to look at him and he has a mischievous look on his face and runs to the kitchen so he can grab ANOTHER cookie!! Gotta love him!:)

He reminds me of Ormi the Pig

Took Mom to another restaurant, this time we went to one in American Village.  It was super good.  It was an Okinawa Sushi bar.  Cannot remember the name of it right now. But Taelin LOVES to eat ice!

And Taelin was so happy that he got his own pair of chop sticks, and HE PICKED this up all by himself too.  Way to go bud. 

We LOVED our food! and notice I am using chop sticks, and mom is using a FORK! Come on Mom! :)
