birthday beach trip - beach

Here are some photos we took on the beach.

It was such a beautiful day and our fun time was flown by.

Milo loved this specific stick, and he was drawing something with it

until it got broken.

Milo wearing his rain boots, loved waves and kept trying to get in the water.

Then we all got soaking wet.

Aki and Milo were just so cute together.

This was exactly what we wanted to do on Milo's birthday.

Happy Birthday sweetie!!

Thank you for being a sweet company.

On the way back, the lighting was fabulous!

In the lighting, Aki was being photogenic

while Milo was climbing trees and still being wild...

We could not even capture him in this "supposed to be a group photo".

Those two was survived last two years parenting.

Happy 2nd Birthday to Milo's parents who have tried to grew up with him.

On the way back home, we saw this poster on the wall of a skate shop in Seaside.

I know him!

Milo's 2nd Birthday Party

On Jan 12 (Sat), We had Milo's 2nd birthday party with close family and friends.

First, those people stopped by our house before they headed to their friend's wedding party.

They were lookin awesome.

Those two were way too cute.

Then, more people showed up, and we had a mellow but fun time.

Kip was a little bit overwhelmed though...

After we ate and played enough, 

Milo started to open his gifts.

with his assistant Penny.

Thank you everyone for wonderful and thoughtful gifts and cards for Milo!!

After Milo opened his gifts, it's time for the cakes!

A tofu strawberry cake for Milo and any hippie adults on the left,

and a strawberry mousse for any other sugar loves. 

"Happy Birthday Milo -----"

Make a wish.

Yay!!!

Then we ate the cake.

Milo shared his cake with his mama.

After that, Milo played more with his new toys.

It was nice to celebrate Milo's birthday 

with people who have supported us for the last two years and more.

There were many people who could not make it to the party,

but we received all your love for us.

So...  we would like to thank all our family and friends who raise Milo with us

including some of our friends who even have never met Milo:)

We are so lucky to have your physical and mental support.
