Oba-chan is home from the hospital but now she is in-home hospice care. We decided to take the kids over for a visit and we ended up playing with the hospital equipment again.
Usually we just play around on the wheelchair but this time we had a crane to play on. Hmm, how do we make this go up?
Ahh, going up:
Uncle and Jack!
Ian had a piñata at his birthday party and Jack normally does well at the piñata but he totally sucked this year.
Instead of ‘whacking’ the piñata he was lightly ‘tapping’ it:
Love taps:
Okay, he is getting a little better…but not really:
While all the kids rush to pick up the candy, Jack just slowly picks and chooses his favorite candy and puts it into his bag:
We went to Ian’s 5th birthday party over the weekend:
Brentt designed Ian’s birthday cake:
Jack trying to look like some LA Hipster, sporting some 3-D glasses:
Usually when I give Stacy a bath, I just towel off her hair and comb it. This time I decided to try my luck at a pony tail. I had just seen Despicable me and the little girl in the movie has a vertical pony tail so that was my inspiration:
Stacy seemed to like it!
Stacy is usually not a people person and she definitely is not comfortable in a large crowd, but she did great at Jessica’s birthday.
After the first hour, Stacy really warmed up and was roaming around on her own. Things were going so well, we decided to try out the roller coaster and Stacy just loved it!!
Jack loves this motorcycle. At school he would always run to get it. Whenever we go to Under the Sea he tries to be the first one on it. Luckily, Jack was one of the first kids at the party so there was no fighting for a bike but Jack decided to take his bike up and down the ramp…
Sadly, I didn’t video the one time, he sort of crashed and I was chuckling.
Jack: It is not funny. Don’t laugh at me.
Miles: Are you alright?
Jack: Yeah…but I smashed my weenie.
We went to Under the Sea to celebrate Jessica’s 5th birthday:
It was one of the rare occasion’s were the entire family went. Jack making his usual ‘Batman’ appearance:
Stacy is usually home with Aya for birthdays, but Stacy had a great time at Under the Sea. When it was closing time she didn’t want to leave!
Aunty was nice enough to spend the entire day at Disneyland with Jack:
Main Street:
Dumbo:
Auto-topia:
Happiest place on Earth!
Man, I used to be only 1 week behind on my posts but now I am few weeks behind. The last week has been filled with pictures of Jack so here are gratuitous pictures of Stacy:
Stacy loves to hold my camera case, I have no idea why.
Stacy isn’t old enough to talk yet, but we have heard her version of, Jack, Mom, Dad, Grandpa (Papa) and Grandma (Mama). However, Stacy is very sure of what she wants and doesn’t want. When it comes to food, she doesn’t want to eat ‘her’ food, she wants to eat whatever we eat. Stacy basically gets two meals at every sitting, she gets her food and then when we eat she gets some of that.
She is so fast and sneaky. The other day Jack wanted water and when he put it down, I saw Stacy look at it and then she made a beeline right for Jack’s water cup:
BUSTED. I see you with brother’s cup of water!
What?!! I think I was bamboozled!! We got a birthday party invite from one of Jack’s classmates, Caprice for her 5th birthday. With all invites, I ask Jack if he:
1. Knows the person;
2. Likes the person; and
3. Wants to go.
Jack wanted to go to this party and I figured it would be like all the other parties….but I was wrong! It was like a girls party! Jack and one other boy were the only boys there! The other 8-10 people were girls. They had a Princess come in and do some games and sing alongs but Jack and the other boy refused to take part in any of those activities. They played foosball instead.
Luckily, when it came to princess crown decorating time, they had some Pirate hats….Arg, it’s Captain Jack:
Jack was so happy because they had a cotton candy machine:
After Jack ate his cotton candy Jack runs up to me,
Jack: Can I have another cotton candy?
Miles: No.
Jack: But I want one more.
Miles: No. You already had cake and one is enough.
I see Jack come back a few minutes later with a cotton candy stick holder with no cotton candy:
Miles: Where did you get that cotton candy stick?
Jack: It was Tesa’s. She didn’t want it anymore so I ate it.
Miles: Did you take it from her?
Jack: No she didn’t want it anymore so I ate it.
Grr. Just like his mommy….Jack loves the sweets.
Jack and the birthday girl, Caprice:
Jack and I took this picture against a green screen:
Goofing around with D-Wade:
With the Lakers:
Close up with Lakers:
While NBA Fanfest was fun, I think there is more to do if you were 8-10 years old. They had the skills challenge, shooting contests, slam dunk contests. Even if you went with adults only it would have been pretty fun. Unfortunately for Jack the things he could do were limited, but I still think he had fun:
Jack doesn’t like ‘tattoos’ I think he thinks it will hurt and he usually passes but they had a Ben-10 Tattoo and he got it:
He likes the tattoo so much that he doesn’t want to wash it off. He has had it for 2 weeks now!
Jack and Shaggy:
