Auntie Raji and Uncle Josh's wedding

The happy couple during their first dance.

Beautiful location!

Mesh and his mom....they look like they could be siblings!

Our cuties.

Kids not napping + formal pictures = disaster. :) But they were great down the aisle!

Raji and Josh were married on August 15, 2009 in NYC. It was a ceremony full of love and a fun recpetion that lasted long into the night - good times!! Congrats you two!!

NY Trip Part 1

Clockwise from top: Riley, Nate, Sadie and Cam (This is the only picture I got with all 4 of these little movers in the same shot.)

Riley loved playing in the ocean!

Cute picture...despite the blue ringpop face.

Setting up for a day at the beach.

Aunt Sabrina, Uncle Joey and cousin Cam hosted a mini family reunion at their beach rental in Southampton, NY. We had a great time gathering seashells and playing in the surf...such a relaxing vacation!

Nate's first camp experience!

On our way to drop off Nate at his first day of camp. He was so ready to be out on his own - when I brought him in he said "bye mommy-you can go now".

Nate by the SLC rock.

Nate and his buddies Desmond, Lauren and Ethan on their last day of camp wearing the tie-dye shirts they made earlier in the week.

Look at these preschoolers-where did time go? They met when they were a few months old and camp/preschool seemed so far off in the future to the parents.

Nate doing his work!

This week Nate went to camp at the preschool he will be attending starting next month. It was Monday-Thursday mornings and the theme was colors. The highlights for Nate were learning all the colors of the rainbow in order and getting to make a tye-die shirt! He loved it and can't wait to go 3 mornings a week starting soon!

Summer in the Quah!

Riley and Nate at their craft table - Riley is really getting into coloring and stickers.

Our neighbor Emily made these outfits for the kids - adorable!

I was up late studying one night and on my way to bed I found Nate and Mesh like this! (It was in the 100's around here so Nate was sleeping in our room with the a/c. Rileybell also has an a/c unit in her window...didn't want you to think she was left to be hot.)

A Day Out with Thomas

Celebrating our 5 year anniversary on July 10th. We also celebrated our Hindu wedding anniversay on the 11th with a bike ride out to Redhook Brewery. (Sorry blogger won't let me flip it.)

Kieffer Family Reunion in Texas

The Texas Kieffers hosted the family from Washington, California, New York, Illinois & Michigan for a family reunion and to celebrate Gramps/Dad's 60th birthday! We had a great time and a very memorable 4th of July on the lake! Thanks family!

Nate's first time riding a horse.

Here we are (most of us-some kids were still asleep) at Uncle Hank's and Aunt Betsy's lake house.

Cousins! Cameron (9 mo.), Sadie (1 yr), Riley (15 mo.) & Nate (3 yrs).



Yeehaw!

Northwesterners trying to blend in!

Rock & Roll Marathon!

4:30 am ~ getting ready for the big race!

Just after we crossed the finish line.

Mesh and I ran our first marathon today and did it together every step of the way, holding hands the last couple feet as we crossed the finish line! We finished in 4:33.19 which is a pace of 10:26 min/mile. We were at about a ten minute pace until mile 20 and then we were just focused on surviving...but we kept on going and made it through running the whole time! Shockingly, I didn't even need to stop to use the bathroom. Gramps, Nate & Riley met us at the finish line - what a great feeling!
