Park…

Ahhh, winter in Southern California…short sleeves and shorts!   We headed over to the park in the cooler winter weather.  Aya pushed Jack and Stacy on this artsy Merry-Go-Round:

Aya and Stacy hanging out together:

Put the real ‘genius’ portion of the day was here…when Stacy couldn’t drink her Capri Sun because this is how Aya inserted the straw:

When Stacy complained about not getting any juice, Aya didn’t even look at juice box or the liquid that leaked out on the table when she inserted the straw on the other side!  hahahahhaha!!

Are you ready for some football…

Jack has been getting into football lately.  Over the past few months Jack has been wanting to play football more and more.  I kept brushing it off but finally I gave in and signed him up for a flag football class.  He is awful…but more on that later.   One weekend we went outside to ‘toss’ the ball around.  Luckily I capture nice photos of Jack so it makes it ‘seem’ like he is good at throwing:

Catching:

Hilarious, because Jack stinks at football and Aya can hardly catch but in this picture you would think they are a couple of old pro’s at tossing the ball around:

Monkey see, Monkey do.  Stacy thinks she is open for the pass as well!!   I sure hope she doesn’t have Aya’s athletic abilities.

Hole in One…

On Thanksgiving we went mini golfing before we gathered at Aunty’s Paul house.  On the very first hole, Stacy got a hole in one!

Jack is already upset that Stacy got a hole in one.    Later on, Aya got a hole in one:

Jack is really MAD now because Stacy and Aya both got a hole in one and Jack is no where near close to getting a hole in one.  To make matters worse Stacy gets ANOTHER hole in one:

Luckily, Jack FINALLY got a hole in one.  This is his ‘game’ face now:

Sadly,  I was helping Stacy and got her two hole in ones but I never got a hole in one on MY turn.   Luckily, I had low score and was turkey day golf champion!

Gangnam Style…

Stacy…

With Jack’s birthday in early November for his friends and late November with the family, Stacy has been taking a back seat to all of Jack’s events.   She happily gets to tag along but with basketball in full swing, Stacy doesn’t get as many photo ops.  This is one of my favorite pics of Stacy rocking the over sized hipster glasses:

More Birthdays…

Since I am about a month behind in pictures, I forgot that we celebrated Susu’s birthday early because he was going to be in Japan for his birthday.   We went to one of my favorite places Fogo De Chao:

Sadly, Susu had a rough night the night before and he wasn’t up to eating his usual amount, but nonetheless good times.  The waiter never let our glasses get half empty so it seemed like we were never drinking enough and then realized we already had 2 bottles of wine for the 3 of us:

We celebrated my birthday with dinner at my parents house:

My favorite cupcakes that my mom makes…I must be getting old because I didn’t eat more than 10 cupcakes this time!

A few nights later, Aya and I went to Lawry’s to celebrate my birthday:

Phew…and so ends all the November birthdays!

Mason’s Birthday Part 2…

Jack-ario Kart:

Mason’s Birthday Part 1…

We went to Mason’s birthday party and they rented go-karts!! 

It was Jack’s first time riding a go-kart:

Jack’s loves to play racing games and I was curious if that would translate into ‘real’ racing and I have to say Jack did quite well:

It took him a few laps to get the hang of it, how to corner and accelerate out of the turns but he figured it out:

Jack loved it!

Jack’s Birthday Part 7…

I think Jack had a good time at his party:
