birthdays,Roppongi, and life!

The past few weeks have felt so busy! The times has seemed to just fly by without enough time to catch up. We have had Birthday parties (several friends and our own), Harley had a modeling shoot in Roppongi, I was given a great baby shower, and it just seemed like every day there was something!
Niyah's birthday party was a success. She had several of her good friends over, they did a fashion show, then the pinata, pin the crown on the princess, cake, and then they played at the playground. It was busy busy and I was very glad Jeb was so willing to help control all the little princesses!
So for me having ZERO cake decorating skills, I was proud of this creation. For me it was pretty good!

Fashion Show!!


they girls are Chloe, Amelia, Niyah, Clarrissa
Jolie, Emma, and Harley
Harley had a modeling shoot down in Tokyo at Roppongi. It was a shoot for Barbie clothes so it was really fun for her, just wish we could keep the clothes, SO CUTE! and can you believe they made her a red head for it! HAHA I finally had red headed child. :)

We were going to wander around and do the tourist thing after the shoot but we were to tired, and it was really cold that day. Plus after having the kids almost trampled in morning rush hour, we did not want to hit rush hour on our way back, so we didn't look around to awful much. For an idea of what I mean by trampled on the trains... I REALLY think you should check out this video! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wuPw82gJ37w
This is a good one too

Ok so our train was not this bad, but it was closer then you think. I was seriously worried they were going to smash the kids, me and Jeb had to block them and make a wall around the kids. UGH it was exhausting.
Here few sights we did see.

Tokyo tower, in the distance. Its taller then the Eiffel tower and made to replica it.



So another thing we had going on, some very nice ladies threw me and a fellow new mother baby showers. Me and Miriam Porter had our babies 2 days apart. Mine was first! (it was a race with the husbands who would go first) It was so sweet of them to give us a shower and everyone who gave gifts. Thanks Linda an Cindy!

All of the girls are SO cute. They can be so fun to dress up!

Looks like you have been busy and having fun. I have never heard of chocolate toast!!!!

On the table at your shower I saw the diaper "cake". We had a shower for someone at work last week and someone did that. I think that is such a cute and clever gift!

You have such a cute family. And they are growing up so fast, how do we ever keep up? I miss you and wish you and your family the very best.

Love all the new pictures. We have a cherry tree at our house in Provo and I can only imagine how beautiful it is to have that many there in Japan! I especially love the picture w/ the goggles! Glad you guys are so happy - can't wait to see you all again someday!!! That is great that your mom got a visit in!
