Krew's 1st Birthday Luau

THANK YOU Hillary for creating this AWESOME invitation

Krew is 1. We celebrated Hawaiian Style :)We had a dance floor, and the girls loved dancing around in their hula skirts.

Big THANKS to Chris and Asa for preparing the pig
Krew was so happy everyone came to celebrate with him :)
Here are the hula girls performing, I will try to find video of them, they were ADORABLE.

Big THANKS to Unko Benny for helping set up, DJ and MC and play his ukulele and sing
Big Thanks to Hillary for preparing the teri beef, tapioka and cupcakes. Thanks to Kat for the sweet potatoes and to Jana, Larissa and Cassie for bringing rice and cupcakes. Thanks to Ka'ala for answering my endless questions on how to prepare this Hawaiian Food. Thanks to Melissa, Kim and Hillary for helping me purchase all this food. I could not have done this with out all of your help. Thank you, Thank you!
Krew and Jocelyn sharing a first dance together :)
it's not a party without a jump house
aauuuhhhhh the cake. Everyone stop and give a moment for this most amazing cake, created by the one and only Angie Takahashi (Wynes). I know it is jaw dropping.
Krew was even amazed when he saw it. Is that really for me? :)
As soon as I set it down he just face planted into it. It was so funny.
He enjoyed it:)
Last but not least we smashed the pinata. Krew was not so into hitting it, he just wanted to look at it, but the other kids liked hitting it.
Angie THANK you so much for the amazing cake and for taking all these AMAZING pictures, these are only the ones she took from my camera, so I still have ones to get from her camera.

Thank you everyone for making this such an awesome day for Krew.
I love that my little man is 1.
He is 20 pounds, he will walk but only when holding onto something, ie. push cart, stick, toy
He is still a happy little guy, with a big smile and lots of laughs. He already tries to jump on the bed with Kali. When he was in the bounce house he tried to jump on his knee's. He loves to climb onto anything I will let him. He loves water, washing his hands, bathing, ocean. He never cries when he goes under water or gets water poured over his head. He likes to be outside playing on the stairs or on the playground. He likes to try and mimick sounds and words normally sounding out the first letter of the word. I will say, Krew go get the ball, and he will make the b sound. Today Melissa was showing him keys and he made a k sound. So he is working on his words. He does say mama and dada. Krew we love you so much and are so thrilled you our a part of our family! In Kali's words, "Happy Birthday little buddy!"
