My nephew, Zoren Jake, had his Recognition Day last week and these are some pictures of him with his sister and my mama. He got a ribbon for "Most Cooperative".

Ummmm....Ahhh...Ummm..La La!!

The sun was shining above, and the air was slightly cool. It was a nice day to celebrate the Pasifika Festival at Western spring this year. We reached there at around 12 and spent almost an hour looking for Billy TK Junior, a rock player whose music Steve enjoys. He was supposed to be playing at the Push to Play stage. In the process of looking for the musician, I injured my foot. After scouring the park for more than an hour, we gave up and decided to just watch other shows instead.
