Getting that perfect picture, with kids

How hard is it to get 3 keikis to look at the camera at the same time? Extremely hard! Last week we went to Honolulu for a visit and got to see Ka'iulani and baby Kahala, who was turning 1 over the weekend. Kahala and Colin (18 mo.) are about the same size. The kids are so cute!

Colin has gotten a hold of Alex's suitcase! FYI - The heavy breathing in the background are the dogs.

Jungle Pancakes

I thought it would be cool to make these jungle pancakes with the pancake molds I got at Williams Sonoma this weekend. It took 3 batches of messed up pancakes before I got it right!

Alex said the lion pancake looked like Maggie. What do you think?

Back to Boulder

So I got to go back to my old college stomping grounds this weekend when my Tri-Delta roomate/sorority sister got married at Flatirons Golf Course. Of course I had to take Mike hiking at Chautauqua Park, a gorgeous trek up into the Flatirons Mountain Range. I used to go trail running up here (I was in that good shape? what?!) and it was gorgeous the day we went. Mid-70s, blue skies, perfect weather. We were up there for a good 2 1/2 hours. But we had to return to Phoenix on Sunday, where it was a good 'ol 108 degrees.
