Special day for Brigham

On Sunday, we attended Brigham's blessing of Aya Camerie. Afterward we had an awesome lunch provided by Shayla and her mom, where we gave a cheer for Brig, who just graduated from BYU Law School! Shayla already posted lots of great photos on her blog and wrote out her thoughts about Brigham's achievements, so I'll just post a few other photos. I am so sad that B+S are going to move. It's been great having them relatively close these past few years. I already miss all their munchkins!

Here is the graduate! So proud of him. And the real hero is beautiful Shayla who played the supporting role through it all.

The whole family after the blessing. Four kids four and under....how do they do it?

The kids helped me make this candygram for Brigham; we took some Martinelli's for him to celebrate with.

Such a beautiful baby (and a nice quiet one too)!

Love Silas!

Four generations of beautiful women

Makai and Will...what handsome boys!

Silas would laugh when Vaha came to get him.

These two did not like being together. They took turns crying and staring at the other. Hilarious!

Vaha update

Our little guy is 6 months old now. Time's flying (most days). Aki calls him either "Slim" or "Lefu," which is what Tongans call the runt of the litter--the little pigs that don't sell so kids keep them as pets. Vaha is our smallest baby by far, but he's a keeper. So sweet and cute. He's had some rough times due to problems with silent reflux, but he is getting better every day. He is eating well, sits up, and loves to smile with his mouth wide open. He's a mama's boy, of course, but lights up when other people talk to him. His brothers and sisters LOVE him and race to him in the morning.

First time experiencing grass. He didn't enjoy it very much.

I guess eating wore him out. I love that he sucks his thumb.

See? I told you!

Makai is my right-hand man when it comes to helping with the baby. I am totally confident in leaving the baby in his care (and I have!), and Makai does a great job. He loves his baby brother.

Vaha gets reacquainted with this guy every evening. They have a mini play session while dinner is being made.

Many hands make light bathtime??

This picture makes me laugh, I don't know why!
