The LAST (scantily clad) post of Progress!

Well we stuck it out for the scheduled 5 months of clean eating and working out with occasional (very occasional) cheat days. We reached our goals and feel great. Erika steadily lost fat as she toned up her muscles and dropped from 118 to 108. Mason gained muscle and a bunch of fat going from 164 up to 176 only to cut down to 160.

It was a great goal to work on together and was very fun to be focused in and out of the gym for several months. Speaking of In-n-Out I hear a double-double calling my name...

Family trip to Malibu!

We had such a fun weekend going to Malibu to visit Mason's busy little brother. Here are some fun pics:

Thank you so much to Nani and Boyd for making this trip happen. I love our family!

HAPPY 5TH BIRTHDAY MIYA!

Well miya turned five and since we couldn't quite bring her back to Hawaii yet we brought a little Hawaii to her for her birthday with Kalua pork, pani popo, lupulu, sushi, poi, and tons of fruit.

miya loved all the presents she got from everyone including an easy bake oven and a hamster she named "Knisha"

Emi looks kinda buff in this picture

Miya and the girls learned some hula from kumu hula Mom and miya even won a trophy!

Miya loved her guava cake and her chocolate haupia pie made by her mom

A beautiful five year old! We love this girl so much.

Miss me?

I know there are only a hand full of people who actually check out my blog, but for those interested, we're in Vegas having fun.  Here are a few pics from the past couple weeks.

Another Great Find

I love it when I go download my photos from off my camera because I almost always find a self shot video of Miya.  One of her favorite shows is "i Carly" and I'm really thinking that it's rubbing off on her.  She really loves to be in front of the camera, so here is the "Public Service Announcement" by Miya Allred:

Fun Weekend with Baba and Hi-Baba

My Mom (Baba) and Grandma (Hi-Baba) came to visit for the weekend.  We had a lot of fun going to Japan town for the Cherry Blossom Festival, eating home made sushi, and just hanging out.  Here are some photos from our weekend...

It has been about 15 years since my grandma moved to the states and it has been about 15 years since she rode on a train, so she was pretty stoked to ride the Bart to San Francisco.

Fun Hello Kitty characters were at the festival...Emi was once again freaked out by the huge characters, but Miya was loving it.

We ate lots of yummy Japanese food and some sweets too.

My beautiful Grandma in front of some Japanese shrine or something.

These girls!

So...I went to download some pictures onto my computer and found this silly video Miya took of herself.  She is always surprising me!  I guess that one of the joys of being a mom.  

Ahhh!  Now we know who has been breaking all the crayons...thanks to Miya's camera work!
