July Update - Part 2

July 17 - Aki's parents arrived from Papua New Guinea. They've enjoyed their time with their children and grandchildren. They'll stick around until August 18th when they head to Tonga.
July 24 - Another quiet holiday...Makai was in the children's parade, we ate delicioso Mexican food, and did some sidewalk fireworks with the Bells (no pictures).

July 25 - Aki's cousin got married, and Ame was part of the wedding procession, so we did wedding celebration stuff all day long.
July 31 - My parents came into town and were able to be here for Tevi's 1st birthday party...but that's an occasion that warrants a post (or two) of its own. Stay tuned.....

July Update - Part 1

Our 4th of July holiday was very low-key. Aki did take Makai to the parade while Tevi slept and I cleaned the house. Later in the day we attended an awesome barbecue put on by Marcus and Cortney. Ame spent the weekend up in Evanston, WY, with her friend Sofía Staley and her parents. Thank you to Ryan and Stormy for the pics...these are the only photos of the holiday we have, as our camera was left in Provo.
Then on July 10, Brigham returned home to the U.S. of A. Yay!!! We're SO GLAD he's home! (And now, a couple pictures stolen from their blog):
On July 13, baby Jada was born to Marcus and Cortney Bell (no picture of baby, but here are her cute parents...picture of Jada soon to come):
Finally, as reported below, Aki became a citizen on the 15th.

That concludes the first half of my report.
