Newest Member of the Tolman Family

Introducing our new little niece Kailé Jade Tolman. Born on May 13, 2008 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. We're already in love with her!

Happy Birthday to Me!

I had such a great day yesterday. I love getting pampered and Brad did a good job. We realized that my last 3 birthdays have been in 3 different states. This year Oklahoma, last year Michigan, and the year before Utah. Isn't that the greatest information EVER?! Everybody wanted to know that. :)
Brad made his first cake. I was really surprised because it came out so yummy. He was very proud of himself and mentioned that fact several times. Ari put the candles on the cake and tested the icing to make sure I wouldn't get poisoned.
I love her cheesy smile. I can't ever get her to smile normal for the camera. Notice the chocolate around her mouth and my hand holding her hand down? She wouldn't stop swipping her little fingers all over the cake.
After Brad made dinner, we went on a nice Sunday walk. We live right by the Arkansas River. This area is so pretty. The bridge in the background is part of the River Trails. People can bike or run along the trails that stretch for 20 miles. This is what motivated me to start running. I watched people run by everyday and then I decided to just join them! :)
Not the most Sabbath Day activity. Daddy let Ari run through the fountains. I think her little bum is so cute, so I had to take this picture.
At home after our nice day. Brad looks like a puppy dog, because our faces are pulling his eyes down. So cute!

Part 2...

The only other time I saw my family was at Tiana and Daxia's soccer game.
Baby Amaya (Rick & Jas' lil one). She's so cute, and she love her Aunty Mel.

Matson trying to nail his brother-in-law Fili with the ball. Great timing for my picture huh?
Hunter, he's such a good boy.
Ari mawling Sophia. She couldn't get enough of lil Soph, and didn't understand why Sophia didn't like to smothered all the time. :) I especially loved the fact that Sophia thought I was her Mommy, so I got all the coo's and snuggles her Mommy gets. Ugghh I miss her!

Utah Trip

We went to Utah for a little while to visit family, and abandon Brad for finals. The trip did not turn out how it was suppose to. Ari got really sick the day we went to Provo. We didn't want to get anybody else sick, so we stayed at Brad's parents home the entire time. They were so good us and it was fun to spend time with them. We were suppose to split the time between several family members, but Grandma and Grandpa Johnson got Ari the whole time; I don't think they minded. Then as Ari started getting better, I got sick. On the flight home, I thought my head was going to explode. My sinus' have never hurt so bad. I thought I was going to cry when the plane was starting the descent, but we're all happy and healthy now. Unfortunatley, I only got to see my family twice. The camera only came out twice as well. I wasn't thinking. I only got pictures of the Tolman family, and none of the Johnsons. Next time. Well, here are some pictures.
