Congratulations to Aunty and Uncle!! They bought their first house in Gardena. Hmm. I just realized I don’t have any pictures of the ‘house’…but when we visited we took a picture outside of their house:
Now we just have to wait for Dawn and Bryan to fix up their house so Jack and Stacy can have a weekend sleep over!!
No matter where Jack goes Stacy wants to follow:
Jack doesn’t even have to play or acknowledge Stacy, just as long as she can see him….peace:
Lounging….
Stacy is just so mischievous compared to Jack. Stacy will open drawers, dig into Aya’s purse, takes my wallet….just basically causes havoc. One day Aya left her sunglasses out and Stacy got ahold of them…calling them, ‘eyes’.
Now Stacy wants, ‘eyes’:
We got her a pair of Elton John style ‘eyes:
But she prefers Aya’s ‘eyes’:
It starts out nice enough…Jack and Stacy playing together:
Then one of them gets a little wet:
Then a little wetter:
And then just a water fight!
Sadly, we have a loud neighbor that reported us for being too loud in the alley. Well ‘us’ is really ‘Jack’ because he is running around screaming and making all sorts of noises like a spaz. Not sure if we will be having any more water fights this summer.
Hmm, this might be a back up Christmas card!! It is one of the rare family photos…and rarer that we are all looking at the camera at the same time!!
Stacy stayed up for the fireworks show but she thought the ‘boom’ was too loud.
WHAT?! Man, I am like a month behind!! Actually, I post and schedule all my blog updates in advance. I don’t have as much time to do it regularly so I have to make bulk updates when I have time. We celebrated 4th of July at my parents house. Well, actually Dawn and her friends and we tagged along for free food:
Aunty and Bryan got Jack some sparklers again:
At first Jack was a little scared because right when we got outside, the neighbor had a bottle rocket that went defective and landed in the back of Jack’s hoodie. Luckily it didn’t explode but it was just ‘hot’ when it landed. Luckily it missed his face. In any case, after the first sparkler Jack was back to having fun with some fireworks!
Stacy loves to be in the water! She wants to do everything Jack can do…except she can’t swim!! We tried putting her in Jack’s old car float but Stacy didn’t like it:
Stacy liked being wrapped up in the noodle kicking and holding on to Jack’s water cannon!
Honestly, I think one of the main reasons why Jack likes going to the pool is that he knows he can swim half the time and eat the other half of the time:
Not only does Jack eat but Stacy is a chow hound! This girl is constantly eating!! She is an eating machine!!
I love this picture because Aya was making this same upside down face in a picture when she was a little girl!
Jack has really been enjoying the summer at the pool on the weekends. Jack is trying new ways to lounge on the noodle:
Or trying new ways for me to have ‘phallic’ noodle pictures:
Of course you have to ‘splash’ Stacy and mom!!
Jack and Uncle throwing money into the water fountain:
Jack loves to hang out with Uncle:
I think Jack had too much fun with Uncle. Right after this picture Jack went off to the side and said he had to throw up. That was our queue to head on home for the day.
Uncle Su-Chan met us in Santa Monica at 3rd street for lunch:
It was our first time visiting the newly remodeled Santa Monica Mall and we were distracted by the giant Smurf!
See it is bigger than it looks!
Stacy seems to be growing up sooo fast!! So much faster than Jack it seems. Stacy is 1.5 years old going on 5 just like her big brother Jack.
Stacy is stringing together two words now, like, “Hi Daddy” or “Bye Daddy”. Of course her favorite word is still, “No.” Her favorite words are ‘wow-wow’ for a dog going ‘bow-wow’ and ‘Barlow’ for “Barney”. She has to take her ‘wow-wow’ and ‘Barlow’ wherever we go!
It really is nice to have the Tot Lot in our complex. The clean the place every week and most of the time we are the only ones there. Stacy wants to do everything Jack does:
Jack thinks it is fun to slide down together:
Stacy loves to go fast:
