Please go to my main blog (Roger's Blog) for my Next Level Workshop Images. Thanks

Here is a slideshow of my daughter Aleina's 3rd Birthday Party with family and friends at Pump-It-Up (an inflatable party place for kids). We liked the fact that the play arenas and party rooms were private, but wished we could have brought in our own food, other than ice cream and cake. I guess we can't have them all. Thanks to everyone for coming and especially to our nanny and her family for spending time with the kids, otherwise, I would not have had the time to take any pictures. Enjoy.

I thought it was about time that I spend some time working on one of my recent family events and post it for them to see, so here it is.

This slideshow is of my dad's retirement and my mom and dad's 44th wedding anniversary surprise. This was a very special gathering for our family because this was the first time in a very long time that we as an entire family were all together. My parents, my brother (Ted), and eldest sister (Fely), along with her son (Bryson) and daughter (Erica) flew from Kauai to California for the celebration. My parents thought this was just a celebration for my son's birthday, but to their surprise, it was a party for them also. We had many  friends and families, who came from all over California , even Washington and Michigan to attend this special event. It would have been nicer for us to have celebrated there in Kauai, but it was a matter of convenience for all of us and it would have been very difficult to make it a surprise. This was the first time in a long time for my mom to be together with all her three sisters at once. This was also the first time for my parents to meet their grandson (my son Ryin) and their grandaughter (my sister's daughter Gulianna). This has got to be one of the best family gatherings we've had. There were a lot of emotions and happy moments for all of us. I would like to thank my sister Cres and Lani, along with my Brother-In-Law Mark and (hopefully soon to be Brother-In-Law) Gerrick for all the work they did coordinating this entire event; everyone who attend this special event, and to Erica and Bryson for the entertainment. Enjoy!
