Do I love the fact that it was in Laie that Jeff and Kathy met while she came just for a year (kind sound familiar to me...)? or that it was where they got engaged? or even the fact that they've managed to have a family picture in front of the Laie Lds temple as each child has been added to their family? YES. What an awesome tradition right?

But wait, even better, do I love the fact that they have 7 children? Yes! It made me wonder how my own Mom remained sane after raising 5 girls and two boys :)

On the other hand, am I jealous that every single one of them has beautiful blue eyes? Yes, pretty much.
