Highlights of the week

As I said in the earlier post David and Malaya went to their very first Daddy/Daughter dance. I picked Malaya up early from school to go to Sweet N Sassy to get her hair and nails done. We met some of our friends there that were also going to the dance. We weren't too sure about their picks of hair styles but it was their night!! So we decided this was not a battle either of us mom's were going to fight. This friend, Ryleigh, and Malaya have dreamed up that they are going to open a store one day called Sassy Trends. They have drawn up their designs and everything so keep your eyes open for this great store in about 15 years:)

They had a great time! Then we boogied home to get dressed and ready to go. Here are some pics from the evening. David was so good to capture the evening for me. He kept me updated through text messages all evening.










They enjoyed a carriage ride, a limo ride, LOTS of dancing, and great daddy/daughter time. I was so excited for them! This will be a life long memory for Malaya.

I also got to enjoy dinner with my college roomies. Man, these girls always amaze me with their spiritual depth, their passions and the way they can make me laugh! We have some great memories together! It was so great to catch up with them!




From left to right - Summer, me of course :), Holly, and Kayla. Kayla is expecting her first baby in April! So, we are all wives and mommies! I LOVE these girls. Thanks Kayla for flying in to have dinner with us!! I LOVED catching up with you! Can't wait to meet Baby Cansler!!

To wrap up my highlights - Valentine's Day. I got home very late from dinner with my roomies. I came home to a rose on the floor at the front door. It had a note on top of it that led me on a scavenger hunt around the house to find a total of 12 roses!! The last one was yellow from Malaya. So fun!! The next morning started with breakfast in bed fixed by David and Malaya (Waffles and kolaches, b/c Malaya knew those were my 2 favs!). Then starting at 7 am, I began getting "love" emails at the top of each hour all day. It made my day!!

Malaya's Valentine's Party was yesterday. I was going to blog some pics of her and some friends but not so sure how legal that is???? (to post other kids, especially when I don't know them well! ) Who knows! I will be safe! So here is a pic of my "precious one", that's what Malaya means in Hawaiian, don't know if I have shared that before:)



Have a great weekend!!

What a special Valentine's day for you both! That dance will be a treasured memory for Malaya. She was looking pretty cute with her girly girl hairstyle. She and her little friend are little fashion entrepreneurs. We'll be looking for their store in a few years...
