...proud to be an american...

last wednesday the fam bam drove up to the capitol theatre in salt lake city for mom's citizenship inauguration. it was an awesome event to participate in. i took the day off from work, rosie flew in from houston with aidyn, and we all gathered for the patriotic occassion. it was a bit rainy that day, but i sure loved it. after we stood in line for little while...
we enter the theatre and were seated. we did not become very prepared because we thought we would not be there for very long. little did we know. the kids did really well for sitting down for two hours. they shared treats and car and played games. they really helped each other out. here is sophie sharing her lollipop with Oliver due to a lack of snacks...some of the kiddos and rosie just cruisin. look how cute they all look. Ollie was cracking me up. he wouldn't even say anything to sophie, he would just open his mouth like this...more please? sister rosie and i. i think this is closer to when we first go there rather than later...here is mom with her citizenship certificate! it's so awesome!!


and most of the family. after waiting for two hours isa had to go to class right as the ceremony began. poor kid. he waited all that time and he had to drive back for school. hiro was also at school and papa was going to get the van for the little ones so they didn't have to walk

after we went to happy sumo to grub. it was tasty. everyone was so tired and the kiddos were a bit grumpy by the time we went to eat. ha ha...but it was a beautiful day! we are all so proud of you mom! we love you so much! and are so grateful for the hard work and sacrifice you have put in for us to have the best lives possible. congratulations on your new american citizenship!
