We went out to Perris today to visit my lil’ bro & the family to celebrate his birthday. I can’t believe my little brother is thirty years old! It’s pretty amazing to think that he is appoaching his 10th wedding anniversary and has 5 children at his age! I’m an extremely proud big sister – he is a good guy and a great dad…and I am happy to see him so happy in his life.

It had also been too long since we got to spend some quality time with the kids. They were as cute as always. They just love their Uncle Ed:

Ethan can be such a stinker. He runs and hides as soon as he sees the camera come out. But we managed to get a half-picture of him in the backyard:

And Miss Ella is growing…she gets cuter everytime we see her!

We also got a chance to look through Kendall’s sketchbook. At just 9 years old, she’s got quite a thick book, and she is so smart! We got a real kick out of this chart she made:

We know its kinda hard to see, but she has listed that she is 50% white, 25% samoan and 25% “chinees thai”. That kid just melts our hearts. She really does.
