Maile’s very first friend, Allison, had her third birthday party this weekend. You might recall that a couple years ago, Allison, Hannah and Maile shared their first birthday party together. (See here and here – if you haven’t seen those pictures in awhile – worth a click, will blow your mind!) Now that the girls are turning 3 we thought they were ready to hold down their own parties…
Jumpy house? Oh no you didn't...
Sadly, this is the only picture we snagged of the birthday girl! Perhaps she was too busy hosting to pose for pictures?
Hannah and Maile catching some serious air!
Oliver is doing his best to keep up with the older ladies...
Since Allison's daddy is from Hawaii they had their very own shave ice machine - Maile hated it 😉
Sam and Jake taking in the puppet show - incredibly the kids stayed put for the whole show...
Maile Girl here. Just an FYI to all the under 2 set hanging out in the greater Bay Area – the O-Zone (that’s what I call my friend Oliver) and I are the BEST at tailgating. Andrew Luck takes care of things on the field and we take care of business right outside Gate 12. Check it:
Maile Girl - oh no, did we forget the bottles of water!?
Don't worry O-Zone, I gots you covered!
Chug! Chug! Chug!
Maile, this hat is pretty badass, right? Totally, O-zone. Totally!
Maile, what was in that bottled water? I'm wasted.
On Saturday afternoon, we headed down the peninsula to Palo Alto to celebrate Sam’s first birthday. It was great to see all of our friends that have moved down to Palo Alto – certainly miss seeing them all the time in the city. Christine took a ton of pictures – some highlights involving Maile Girl…
Fun on the big cement slide - so big that you needed to sit on a piece of cardboard to make it down...
Maile and Allison hadn't seen each other in months, but fell back into playing just like old times!
Daddy and Maile
Bubble time - behind the scenes note, Mommy blew the bubbles AND took the pictures. Such talent!
Maile made Sam a birthday card - she took giving it to him very seriously...
The whole group - our family of friends is definitely growing!
Party time!
Eating cake with Wills
And by eating, I mean shoving as much as possible into her mouth as fast as she can...

Well, heeeelloooo ladies. Welcome to my crib! Make yourself at home...
On Monday, we headed down to Palo Alto for a Labor Day BBQ at Wills’ house. Hannah, Allison, Sophie and Oliver (along with their parents) joined us as well. It was a pretty crazy scene with babies walking and crawling all over the place (or being carried in the case of little Oliver).
The BBQ was fun, but the real excitement came when we tried to take a group picture. Here’s the final result:
Mommies and babies - Labor Day 2010
Not too bad. Here’s the behind-the-scenes of how it all came together…

On Saturday Maile and Mommy went to meet the latest addition to the San Francisco crew – Oliver. Oliver is the son of Lisa and Alex.
When Maile Met Oliver
During the visit Mommy learned a valuable lesson…

Maile isn’t quite ready to hold babies yet 😉 What caught Maile’s attention? Oliver’s cat, Furio. (Yes, Furio has his own blog. And 746 fans on Facebook. Which is just ridiculous.)
Here, kitty, kitty...
Then Allison showed up and the focus was back on Oliver again. The first of many fights over Oliver ensued…
Maile: So what do you think of Oliver? Allison: He's pretty cute. Maile: Just remember I met him first.
Allison: What do YOU mean you met him first? Maile: Just saying, I've got dibs. Allison: What are dibs? Maile: Not sure, but I've got 'em.
Things got a little ugly from there, but we managed to get everyone together for a final group shot…
