We ate dinner at Ian and Dria’s house for Laurie’s birthday. Isn’t Charlie cute?

We walked miles for a cure for Cystic Fibrocis in an event sponsored by Sunny’s company, Gilead Sciences. Starting at the Seattle Center, we walked down to the waterfront and back up. Sunny helped arrange the very successful event, which made it even more fun. Afterwards we ate barbeque in the shade of a tree. And I got a free hat from Gilead!

Today we celebrated Mother’s Day. Our first stop was to the Ver Hoeven side.

Kevin has a very large family on both sides, so usually his parents host at their house. They have this 40 person table that runs almost the entire length of the house. It stretches from the dinning-room to the living room. But this time it was a bit more intimate with only about 15 of us. We did miss Khai, who usually likes to take a good snooze on the couch after a good homemade meal. However we did have Uncle Richard who is the family photographer.

Out next visit was to the Andersen’s. Ian and Dria had everyone over to their new house on Magnolia. My side of the family is much smaller with a total of about 12. But that’s a good number for us, cause anymore than that might get a bit out of control. We’re still working on our table manner’s sometimes food in thrown and if it’s a really good dinner some of us lick our plates. As you can see in the photos above we might get a little silly at times.

For some couples, choosing where to go on a holiday would be hard. But fortunately, both our families live close and are very important to us, so we are able to celebrate these special times with everyone.

Let’s go out and pick some flowers
And make a big bouquet;
We must bring a special gift
To Mom on Mother’s Day!

Here’s a rose, and there’s a daisy
For our Mom’s bouquet,
Pretty flowers to show we love her
More and more each day!

We spent Mother’s Day at Aunt Jeanette’s House. This is a great family photo.

Sunny and I walked around Greenlake after work today. The weather was perfect for a stroll, and Greenlake was packed. Along the way we passed a Puggle that was the color of brown sugar. The setting sun made the water glisten a yellow-orange color. I was so mesmerized that I nearly jumped in for a swim.

Afterwards we celebrated Cinco de Mayo at Sunny’s parent’s house with daquiries and fajitas.

Sunny and I would like to invite you to our new home on the web. Over time you will see the page expand to include our family and friends, with photo galleries, videos, stories, and much more. For more information about us, visit our About Sunny and Kevin page.

Enjoy!

Sunny and I ate a great dinner for Mom’s birthday at Alligator Soul. Dinner was good and the entertainment was fun, but Sunny’s dish was way too spicy!

Sunny’s boss gave us two tickets to a terrific symphony at Benaroya Hall. The hall is beautiful and we had great seats – although there doesn’t seem to be any bad seats in this hall. I wasn’t supposed to take photos, but I snuck in a few. The music was gorgeous and we met a few nice people who we talked to during the intermissions.

We spent Christmas Day with both sides of our family this year. Breakfast was at Sunny’s parent’s house and dinner was at my parent’s house. We had a wonderful time together.

We celebrated Christmas with the Ruiter family at Aunt Jeanette’s house.
