A misisng tooth and a late Birthday present...

LIttle miss Savannahlost anotehr tooth last night...so now she looks like a Bunny!

This picture makes her lookjust like her DADDY...those beautiful blue eyes melt my heart. I got to play tooth fairy for the very fist time last night. I almost forgot! LOL...but luckily I quietly sneaked out the tooth and replaced it with $5!!! Hey...I remember only getting a QUARTER!!! But when she woke up she said, "I must have been REALLY good for the toothe fiary to bring me $5"...LOL so I said, "Well the Hawaii tooth fairy is WAY better than the Utah one".

Savannah's BFF Makenna has the saame two teeth missing :P

These two are so silly but I LOVE that they are right next door and they get along so well.

Presenting the TOOTLESS TWINS! HeeHee

So we promised Savannah a bike for her Birthday back in June but due to unforseen circumstances weren't able to...SO when she was at school today we ran to Wal-Mart and picked up a cute bike for her.

We told her that she had to go in to the garage to carry in some boxes for us and when she opened the door, she didn't even see the bike! She was looking for the box to carry in!!! So when she finally see's it she goes, "Is that for ME"??? She was so surprised!!!!!

She has always had a bike wiht training wheels so this is her first big girl bike :-D

Mommy was trying to help her ride it but she kept stepping on Kuku's (pokies)!

I can't believe how big Savannah is...she had a alot of FIRST today and I am so thankful that I get to be apart of them!!! I'm sad that her Dad is missing out but he got to call tonight so she told him all about her first day of school and her first tooth fairy expereincein Hawaii! She also loves school in Hawaii WAY better than in Utah.

Once upon a time...

Mibi grew up in Laie and attended Kahuku High and Lee grew up in Haleiwa and Mililani and attended Mililani High. Mibi went to College at BYU-Hawaii and then served a mission in the Utah Ogden Mission before meeting the man of her dreams. After school, Lee jumped into the workforce looking for his career and eventually ended up working for Mibi's family flower shop at Turtle Bay while Mibi was serving her mission...and never thought that this job would lead him to his "Angel". We met in Septmeber of 2001 after I returned home from my mission. I came back to the flower shop to manage things for my Mom and Lee had left to pursue his education. Well a few months later, Lee's education path didn't take the direction he had hoped and instead life lead him back to Turtle Bay. The first thing he did was call Mom to get his job back and of course she said YES. So, I was Lee's boss and there was an instant friendship...it felt as if we had known each other our entire lives. We kept it strictly business for a few weeks and then one night I was gong to make a Wal-Mart run after work and called him to see if he wanted to come along. His phone was busy (the days before call waiting) and I almost gave up...but after a few more tries he picked up and from that night on we were inseperable. I think we told each other our life stories that night and we both knew then that our lives would never be the same! Over the next year, we formed a deep love and respect for each other which kept us connected through a few rough patches and across the ocean as Mibi moved back to Utah. Finally after a year of being best friends, we both realized that there is no one on earth we would rather be with than each other! We were a couple for about two years when Lee proposed to me and we tied the knot at the exact place we first met...the same hotel the flower shop was located when we worked there...TURTLE BAY. And to add to our JOY, we have a beautiful daughter Savannah (Lee's biological and Mibi's spiritual daughter ) who we just ADORE! She is so smart, funny, outgoing, a jabberbox like her Dad and just the cutest thing you have ever seen!!! We also are praying that we can give her a little brother or sister sometime in the next year or two!!! Until then we have a Doberman (Kayla) and a cat (Shadow) that we spoil rotten and of course all of our Nieces and Nephew's. It has been almost 8 years of wedded bliss and although we have had our ups and downs, each experience has made us grow more in love with each other and are still each others best friend!
